It seems Lela Rochon is not the least bit concerned about the apology model Nicole Murphy gave her after she made headlines by smooching the actress’s husband, Antoine Fuqua, this summer.
The “Waiting to Exhale” actress was seen living it up over the last several weeks traveling with gal pals in France, including Monte Carlo, as evidenced by her Instagram photos.
On Sept. 18, Rochon wished her pal Holly Robinson Pete a happy 55th birthday as they appeared to be enjoying time in the western European country.
“Wishing my beautiful friend @hollyrpeete the happiest of #birthdays! Love you, making the double nickel birthday look fabulous🔥🔥🔥,” read the caption of the IG photo Rochon uploaded.
And on the same day Murphy visited “The Wendy Williams Show” to discuss and apologize for kissing Rochon’s hubby, the actress uploaded a Woman Crush Wednesday photo of her gal pals. They included jeweler Simone I. Smith, actresses Bernadette Leonard and Angela Bassett, and Erika Liles, who is the business partner of “The Real Housewives of Potomac” star Gizelle Bryant.
“wcw ❤️🔥❤️” Rochon captioned the Sept. 24 post before tagging her buddies.
Rochon’s silence follows Murphy giving an on-air apology to the star for kissing her husband of 19 years while the two were in Italy this summer. Rochon told Williams Tuesday that she was in town on business to meet with fashion designers. Murphy explained of Fuqua’s marriage, “at the moment, maybe I had a different impression of the situation.”
“It was a moment that should not have happened,” she said. “I regret it. I apologized for it. I’m a human being, it was a mistake. Basically, women, it’s up to you, do your research.”
And in an apology directed toward Rochon, Murphy said, “Darling, it was a mistake. I apologize.”
But while Rochon continues to stay mum, fans have been letting their thoughts on the matter fly.
“You didn’t seem too apologetic! More so on the approach ‘It happened! It is what it is!’ 😫😫”
“Much respect to you for getting on that purple couch…you owned the whole situation💜 #accountability👏🏾 #grownwoman #wendyshow”
“She doesn’t appear to be sincere. But I ain’t even mad at her. He knew he was married when he kissed her. He just didn’t give a damn. Drag his ass through the mud.”
“Great interview & you handled it gracefully as usual!🙌🏼💖💋 Now everybody can move on!!🙄”
Rochon has remained silent on the matter ever since her husband’s twice-pictured kissing of Murphy electrified the internet two months ago.
