Martin Lawrence and Tisha Campbell
In 1996, Tisha Campbell, who played Gina on the Fox network sitcom, Martin (1992-1997), filed a lawsuit against star Martin Lawrence and the show’s producers for sexual harassment and verbal and physical assault.
Campbell returned to the series, but only after wresting an unusual agreement from producers: Whenever she was taping scenes, Lawrence would not be allowed on the set of his own show.
On a recent appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, Tichina Arnold, who played Pam on the show, talked about the lawsuit and how the conflict has affected the possibility of a Martin reunion.
Arnold said, “The lawsuit was a very interesting thing to be a part of. Tisha and I have been friends since childhood, and Martin and I are still friends. There’s a point where you have to be professional and a point where you have to be personal, and I was very well aware of separating the two, and Tisha always respected that. It was very weird, but I handled it as best I could.”
