hey friend welcome to my channel Karine  Alourde where we Deep dive and break down   the most iconic stars in history if you're not  yet subscribed please be sure to do so and turn   your notifications on so you never miss an upload  now let's get into this video today we are doing   a breakdown for the beautiful Lilo Rashawn I  love her so much she was a 90s icon with so much   grace so much Elegance look at her cheekbones  I mean obsessed with her cheaper according to   the Arkansas's Hall of Fame Lila Rashon Fuqua is a  haitian-american actress though I saw online that   many people disputed this and she hasn't confirmed  like her background or anything like that but her   parents have the Arkansas Hall of Fame government  you know website and its state her appearance is   having Haitian descent so I don't know but I saw  on Lipstick Alley and many other sides people was   like y'all need to stop claiming her as Haitian  I don't know maybe one day she can speak on that   but for now I'll go buy the r Arkansas website  kazim cheekbones them some Haitian cheekbones   okay I have the same cheekbones she is best known  for her starring role as Robin Stokes in the 1995   romantic drama film waiting to excel one of my  favorite movies of all time Rashaan also had roles   in the films Harlem Nights Boomerang the chamber  gang-related knockoff Why Do Fools Fall In Love in   Any Given Sunday before being known as an actress  she spent more than a decade working as a dancer   model and extra in commercials her adaptability  and strong performance made her a sought after   performer among producers and directors Rashaan  was once chosen among the 50 most beautiful people   in the world and the 10 sexiest women of the  Year by People magazine and Blackman magazine   respectively so a woman with all this class all  this elegance and if you watch any video clips of   her interview she's so well spoken so articulate  and just very grounded there's been so much   diversity that came off with her life recently  we're going to get into that in the video and   I'm not here for the Lila Rashon disrespect okay  that this new generation wanted to give her on   Twitter with the whole Nicole Murphy thing uh it's  like a sore spot you're gonna get into that and   I'm gonna let you guys have it towards the end of  the video because I know a lot of people even in   the YouTube space that I looked up to that body  shamed her also and I it really disappointed me   really disappointed me so we're gonna speak on  that towards the end of the video but I want   to give you guys a little bit of background of her  childhood before we get into this Lila Rashon is a   very private person she's been in the industry for  so long but she's moved so quietly with so much   she rarely speaks on her relationship since the  very beginning and every relationship she's been   in there has been much info nobody really speaks  and she kind of keeps her life very intact and one   of the only things that she's always desired to be  was a mother if you you couldn't act anymore for   whatever reason what would you do with your life  I think I would become a mother I would become a   mother and I would try to do good things for the  world you know charity work travel and really do   things with children so as soon as she started her  family and had her daughter she's just been out of   the Limelight we haven't seen her that much but I  do want a Resurgence for her you know if it's in   her plans if it doesn't give her anxiety a lot of  people leave the industry and leave the game and   they have anxiety just thinking about coming back  it was too much for them they were overworking   and I will talk about how one of her first  miscarriages because she was working 16 hour days   and she was so exhausted and miscarried from a  woman wanted to be a mother so much I can see how   that traumatized her to the point where she's just  you know I quit with the industry all together   so maybe she won't want to come back but we would  love to see her back neither her children are like   in college and stuff like that who knows maybe  we'll get something from her but Lilo and Sean   Staples was born on April 17 1964 in Los Angeles  USA to Zelma and Samuel Staples Zelma was a nurse   practitioner her mother while Samuel under graphic  arts business you know I grew up as an only child   and it was just me and my mom and dad so I had to  entertain them because I had no one to play with   so there became the huge vivid imagination I think  that's where it starts and after graduating from   Cerritos High School in Cerritos California  in 1984. she attended the California State   University Dominguez Hills 1986. she earned her  ba degree in broadcast journalism with minors in   sociology and theater in 1984 Rashawn appeared as  an extra in the movie break-in where she met the   man who would later become her husband from 1986  to 1988 while attending college Rashawn was one of   the spudettes featured in over 30 National spots  for the Spuds MacKenzie Budweiser Bud Light TV   commercials she also appeared in 1985 made for  television film a bunny's Tale starring Kirsty   Ally and Delta Burke based on Gloria steinem's  experience as a Playboy bunny she appeared as   the love interest of Gerald Levert in the video  for my forever love and in Luther Vandross It's   Over Now video she also appeared in a music video  for Lionel Richie's single all night long yes she   was in there and I'll be Shores video for the song  Natalie and then Tupac Shakur's video I get around   as one of the female dancers he had many guests  starring roles in a number of sitcoms including   The Cosby Show amen 227 The Fresh Prince of  Bel-Air as Will Smith's love interest and   Hanging with Mr Cooper Rashawn made her film debut  in 1985 when she starred opposite Fred Williamson   and foxtrap and in 1987 she played the role of  Debbie in the film The Wild pair in 1989 Roshan   acted opposite Eddie Murphy in 1989's Harlem  Nights as a memorable Sunshine character she   again worked with Murphy in the successful 1992  romantic comedy Boomer rain and in 1995 she was   a regular cast member during the first season of  the WB sitcom the Wayans Bros and in 1999 Roshan   landed one of the lead roles opposite Whitney  Houston Angela Bassett and Loretta Devine and   the adaptation of the Terry MacMillan novel and  highly successful drama film waiting to excel   she played the character Robin Stokes for which  he was nominated for an MTV movie award for best   breakthrough performance and NAACP image award for  outstanding supporting actress in a motion picture   the moment she read waiting to excel Rashaan knew  she was destined to play Robin the high-powered   executive who picks the wrong men she said I  fought so hard for it because I felt very right   for Robin and the fact that Whitney was already  cast was huge to me she remembers it was my first   time in the lead role waiting to excel didn't  just Elevate black women Hollywood began churning   out more female-centered stories for Bassett the  cherished friendships on and off screen meant the   world to her she said the scene at the end of the  movie with the women listening to the radio and   singing in the car was not scripted it was organic  moments like these in which we found comfort with   one another for Roshan there is one specific day  during filming that sticks out in her memory the   day she invited herself to Whitney Houston's house  I said to her what are you doing tonight can we   come over and then she said we went over there  and her aunt made this huge dinner she cooked up   fried chicken and pies she just went all out we  stayed up playing cards and bonding and that was   when we really got to know each other but we did  not go home until five in the morning end quote   in 1996 Rashawn starred opposite Timothy Hutton in  the showtime cable network film Mr and Mrs loving   she received a cable Ace award nomination for best  actress later that year she played the female lead   in a crime Thriller film The Chamber the following  year she starred alongside Jim Belushi and Tupac   Shakur in a crime Thriller gang related which was  also really good also she played the heck out of   that role and in 1998 rashan had the leading  role alongside Halle Berry and Vivica A fox in   a romantic drama Why Do Fools Fall In Love and  she also starred in knockoff with Jean-Claude   Van Damme and the big hit as love interest to  Mark Wahlberg's bleeding now let's get into her   relationships fans believe Leela has never been  overly focused with finding true love in her   personal life although she has been married twice  her past relationships have generally been quiet   the few fortunate men who were in love with Lilo  rashan nevertheless include some of the biggest   name in Hollywood and one well-known sports  Personality despite how understated Leela's love   life may be it is not without drama as she had had  her fair share of heartbreaks and disappointments   her first husband born of mixed African-American  and Puerto Rican parents Adolfo guterres   Quinones Rose to fame for her role in break-in  unfortunately the couple's Union did not survive   for very long they got divorced in 1987 and  few details about their private connection have   persisted through time like I said she's very very  private very private and no one is certain what   actually caused them to break up though Adolfo  acknowledge and energy that neither of the ladies   he married was to blame for the breakdown of  his marriages he said that he was just unable to   develop and sustain a genuine relationship so the  problem was not with her Leela was slow to move   on after her divorce in 1989 further speculation  appeared about Leela's love life but she continued   to keep her relationship Under Wraps when  Leela was younger she had an affair with Jackie   Jackson a member of the Jackson 5. Jackson was a  songwriter and a founding member of The Jackson   5 and Jackie and Leela's relationship was under  the radar because they were rarely seen together   in public and neither of them were particularly  well known at the time from 1989 to 1991 they were   rumored to have been in committed relationships  that lasted over three years photos from the   December 1989 premiere of Harlem Nights are the  only hard evidence that they were ever together   and Lila walked the red carpet with ex-nba player  Harold Miner in 1993 that romance was Kept Secret   but rumors claimed that it didn't last more than  a year and terminated just as fast as it started   and in 1996 Shemar Moore and Leila Rashon became  involved but their relationship didn't last until   the next year while more remained single Rashaan  went on to marry Antoine Fuqua in 1997 with whom   she had two children she got pregnant after  a marriage because like she stated she always   wanted to be a mother but unfortunately she was  overworking herself and I guess you can imagine   that she felt an immense amount of guilt for  that and it's so unfortunate because she had   this to say during an interview she said the point  is that losing a child changes everything you feel   and do from there after that the next pregnancy  was pins and needles for me and everyone around   me anytime relatives received their late night  phone call they worried I had bad news probably   the biggest problem was me you always feel that  it is your fault when something happens the most   important thing women should realize is that  you must listen to your body end quote Leela   gave birth to the couple's first and only daughter  Asia on July 28 2002 and she looks just like her   mom oh my goodness just dying same cheekbone bones  lips and eyes just a gorgeous woman right gorgeous   young woman Asia's younger brother Brando was born  in May 2004 handsome also both her kids look just   like her making the family complete in July of  that year while on vacation in Italy Antoine ran   across Eddie Murphy's ex-wife Nicole Murphy and  the resulting photos went viral online it wasn't   long before Leela found out about his extramarital  affair but she kept quiet while the controversy   unfolded in the media while the world waited  for her to return to social media to address   the photographs Nicole issued a public apology  after being pushed to do so by her ex-husband   Eddie Nicole said that she had made a mistake by  kissing a married man and explained that theirs   had been merely a pleasant Embrace in her apology  since the news of his affair with Nicole became   public a number of women had claimed that Fuqua  is the father of their children Bruce Jimenez   came forward to claim that Antoine is the father  of her son Roman who is now eight years old at   the time another story says that Antoine is the  father of a lady nobody knows and that he would   have had a fifth kid if he hadn't persuaded a  secret mistress to you know take out her Baby   Ruth Jimenez was able to prove that Antoine is  in fact the father of her child but Fuqua has   said nothing in response to the many accusations  made against him including his alleged contact   with Nicole Murphy Leela also kept quiet she has  since made a social media comeback so perhaps you   know she accepted she forgave her husband okay  Leela shared photos on Instagram celebrating   her daughter Asia's performances to lead into the  woods around that time and many people think okay   she forgave him in the process of covering the  incident some newspapers shamed leva's weight gain   which only served to further damage her reputation  many celebrities did come out to support her   including Tina Lawson Beyonce's mama okay but it  was very sad to see on Twitter like I said even   content creators were just like yeah we let just  a woman despite Don't Let Yourself Go Blah Blah   habits change when you become a mother your body  change age whatever it just was sad to see a woman   get blamed for her physical as to why a man steps  out if you lack that much self-control I don't   know what to tell you I really don't know what to  tell you and I always thought to myself like it's   worse when it's women like you almost expect the  barbaric from men to justify you know men will   always take up for other men but one is the women  that are being barbaric and that are coming after   other women like that for slight changes and a lot  of young women that will you know sleep with other   people's husbands Etc do justify their actions  because of the wife how she look or how she   carries herself or whatever they justify it that  way and it did seem kind of like you know that's   what Nicole Murphy was doing and I know people  have requested videos on her before I don't know   if you guys want a deeper dive into her life but I  always say you know however things happen in your   life that be compassionate because you never know  when the shoe might be on the other foot the same   woman that was body shaming her that was calling  her out like what happened to her you don't know   what could happen to them in the future in their  life there's nothing that can keep a man she could   have been 110 pounds and still he stepped out  because a man will be a man Beyonce got cheated   on okay Halle Berry got cheated on there's no way  you can look that will make a man stay if he does   not want to stay it's all about his self-control  his morale who is he answering to does he answer   to God does he respect your family enough to stay  faithful Nothing Else Matters okay a man can say   he love you and probably do and still step out  it's just is what it is same for women there are   women it don't matter how good their man look  how much she takes care of them they step out   also it goes both ways and we should just be  a little bit more Kinder with that I was just   ugh so annoyed and I hope she didn't take any of  this to heart I hope she feels the love there's   still a lot of people that really really love  her and that do not at any way blame her for   this I hope she doesn't blame herself because a  lot of times people forget that celebrities are   people they read these comments they read your  think pieces they see your videos you guys have   no idea how many families have watched videos  I've done on their family member and how many   celebrities have watched videos that I've done  on them that reached out and stuff like that   so you never know who's watching when you're  in the comments you never know who's reading   these people's kids could be on here so just  be kind in how you comment stuff how you speak   especially on Twitter you guys just have no idea  how people see stuff they see stuff they happen to   stumble and stuff sometimes and you could really  massage somebody's mental health and you can't   be pro-mental Health Pro this Pro that being  hypocritical and then just talking recklessly   about these people just because you think they  have this certain level of Fame that they should   be tough and then they should know that it comes  with the territory she's not even in a limelight   anymore so that shows if she didn't even want this  to happen to her this probably was the worst thing   that could have happened to her to publicly find  out your husband was cheating on you because it   got exposed from the tabloids and then to be ran  off online because people are just roasting you   as if you did something wrong as if you deserved  would happen to you you guys are cruel not you   guys watching but if you participated in this if  you believed in this if you made your think pieces   on this you are cruel it is cruel that is cruel  that is not Sisterhood and I'm very disappointed   and so many women that entertain this this is  just cruel and you never know what life could   take you may be young nice and beautiful now there  is always someone more beautiful than you even for   Nicole Murphy she obviously didn't stay in her  marriage with Eddie Murphy so what happened there   miss okay what happened with your countless other  relationships something happened so you should   know as a sister you know what I mean but anyways  comment below your thoughts I love you guys so   much thank you for tuning in next video will be  out on Friday so subscribe if you're interested   in these type of videos and always recommend who  you guys would like to see next if you like the   music you're listening to the link is in the  description support my brother until next time
