What do you mean by “negative”? If you keep telling me I’m being negative, I’m not going to be able to hear you. It’s not just about being positive or neutral—if it’s not positive, it’s negative. It doesn’t help when you say you don’t know what’s going on or keep making a bunch of different faces. Clearly, you’re feeling a certain way. Now, it’s all over the mainstream media that there’s another issue. The drama with The Brat and Judy is only getting messier, especially now that The Brat’s sister, Lisa Raye, has jumped back into the mix.
I love you, and I care about her too. I’m feeling a bit uneasy about the tension because she’s seen how upset I was after your interview. What happened in that interview, anyway? I really don’t want people to get the wrong idea about us. After the interview aired, some bloggers and interviewers were saying things like, ‘You haven’t talked to your sister?’ But honestly, I talk to her every day. Even if we don’t chat daily, we’re good. There’s no need for anyone to worry about us.
As for Lisa Ray, is she really happy that The Brat and Judy’s relationship might be ending? I’ve heard she’s been vocal about Judy being a serial cheater and taking advantage of The Brat. Or is Lisa Ray just getting too involved in her sister’s life and maybe needs to back off a bit?
So, here’s the inside scoop! If you’re a fan of Judy and The Brat, you might know there’s been some drama with The Brat’s sister, Lisa Ray. But get this: Lisa Ray actually played matchmaker!
Lisa spilled the beans in a recent interview, revealing that she met Judy before Judy even met her sister. They first crossed paths while working on some promotional videos for Lisa’s Kaleidoscope products—Judy was a big fan! They even reenacted a scene from Players Club and did a few fun videos together. When Judy introduced Lisa to her sister’s Miracle Drops hair care line, the two hit it off and built a great friendship.
Now, looking at their Instagram, it’s clear that their bond has flourished. Lisa couldn’t be happier for her sister, saying, “I’m thrilled about the joy my sister has found with Judy. It’s amazing to see someone build a relationship where they can truly be themselves and share that with the world. I’m glad she’s living her truth. If she’s happy, I’m happy.”
The Brat and Judy didn’t immediately hit it off, and they might have been dating in secret for a while. But it wasn’t until March 2020 that The Brat officially confirmed their relationship. She recalls, “I was just so happy, and we were joking about it, saying, ‘I’m going to post it.’ ‘No, I’m going to post it.’ When Judy finally shared it, I thought, ‘I guess we just came out.’ It was a whirlwind of emotions, but the love and support I received were amazing—98% positive, with just a small 2% of negativity from trolls and haters.”
Honestly, we kind of had a hunch about your relationship before you came out, but it’s great to see you living your truth so openly. As for me, even if you saw me out and about, I always made sure to keep my personal life private. I avoided public displays of affection and never sent any intimate photos or videos, just to be safe. Now, though, things are different. According to The Brat, Judy was actually pretty bold and made the first move in their relationship.
Things got a bit messy when Judy’s true colors started to show, and Lisa picked up on it. Some say Lisa had her doubts about the relationship from the beginning. Still, The Brat and Judy moved forward, starring in their reality show Brat Loves Judy and tying the knot in February 2022. Their wedding at the Horse Mansion in Fairborn, Georgia, was a fairy-tale affair with 100 guests. They arrived in horse-drawn carriages, and Jermaine Dupri walked The Brat down the aisle, while Judy’s brother did the honors for her. The Brat even shared with People magazine, “Everything about her made me want her to be mine forever, and I felt like I knew it not much longer than from the day we met.”
Lisa wasn’t shy about her frustration when she found out about her sister’s engagement to Judy through social media. She felt left out of The Brat’s life and the relationship with Judy. The Brat had said that love was a new experience for her, and she wanted to avoid Lisa’s potential judgment. “I came out because I was in deep love and feeling something I’d never felt before. I know my sister, and she might have had something negative to say, so I didn’t talk to her beforehand. I wanted to handle it on my own.”
Lisa felt hurt that The Brat didn’t let her in on the relationship before going public. The tension between the sisters was evident, especially during a surprise appearance on Cocktails with Queens for The Brat’s birthday. Lisa Ray looked visibly upset, and her co-hosts could feel the tension. Lisa later explained that their fallout was due to The Brat not sharing news about her relationship with Judy.
However, it seemed like there was an attempt to mend fences when Lisa gave The Brat and Judy a gift at their wedding. She said, “I wanted to do this quickly before everyone sees this amazing, loving union. I’m the type who steps back and reflects before moving forward. As the woman, mother, and family member you are, this is our chance for a real fresh start. I wanted to give you this gift and ask you to open it in front of me because it’s important to me.” Judy admitted the gift was a surprise but saw it as a positive step. “The gift from Lisa Ray was so thoughtful and at the right time. It was a bit of a shock, but it feels like a great start for us to move forward as a family.”
Things really flared up between the sisters again when Lisa found out that The Brat and Judy were planning to have a child—and she had no idea. It was like déjà vu, as they hadn’t told her about it beforehand. Lisa was clearly upset, saying, “I get that you’re grown and making your own choices, but I wanted to be part of your joy. When I saw the news about you expecting, it was a shock. Sure, finding a partner and sticking together is important, but it should be something that brings us closer, not pushes us apart.”
It’s a bit murky whether Judy was the one who stirred things up or if she told The Brat not to talk about Lisa. On their show, Judy and The Brat had a conversation about their issues with Lisa being so open about their private lives in interviews. They planned to talk to Lisa about it, but the conversation didn’t go smoothly. Judy was the first to approach Lisa, saying that The Brat had decided not to talk about her sister in interviews to show respect and hoped Lisa would do the same. Lisa wasn’t having any of it, and she responded, “She gets paid to act, so she should be real in her interviews. It feels like a lot of shade. Even with everything that’s happened, she’s been asked a million questions. Maybe she and I need to have a direct conversation to sort things out. Whatever’s keeping her from speaking up, she should deal with it. We’re family, and our business should stay private.”
So, what do you think? Should Lisa Ray step back from her sister’s issues, or should she be open about her feelings and disapproval of Judy? I’d love to hear your take on this.
