Actress LisaRaye and Turks & Caicos Premier Michael Misick announced their intention to file for divorce in a statement released late Tuesday.

“I am announcing that I am separated from LisaRaye McCoy-Misick. I am committed to dissolving the marriage amicably. I believe that this is a private matter and will have no further comments. I hope that our privacy will be respected.”

The marriage has been plagued by rumors of infidelity by Misick, who was accused of cheating on LisaRaye with 106 & Park host Rocsi early last week. A publicist for the actress sent out a press release about the alleged indiscretion.

The politican has also been accused of raping a Puerto-Rican woman, described as a friend of LisaRaye.
