Lisa “Lisa” Velez, Was Offered The Lead Role In “Coming To America” But Her Ex-Husband Said: :mjpls:

[lurker emeritus]

nah...
i'm sure what she "turned down" was a chance to audition for the part
i doubt that she was just handed a role at a party for a production like that with no credits

Brooklyn born and bred it’s thousands of her walking the streets

They can never keep it for long 17-32 then it’s over with

For example Tony baker the comedian ex girl Sabrina she is fine as hell but she gonna struggle holding on to it if she gets pregnant

That’s the death blow

Her and Tony broke up?

 

[Devilinurear]

Good times

 

[ajnapoleon]

Her and Tony broke up?

Yeah it seems like after his son died

I get it

It’s a tough thing to deal with

Patrice McDowell > Lisa

No.

How is 17-32 not a long time?

No.

I hate to stereo type but if a black woman keep herself up they can go until 60 plus looking good

Same can be said about the Latinas, especially those not Caribbean descent. "Looking good" is broad.

 

[Ol’Otis]

Come on dawg, you can do better than that on the picture front.

Hell naw

Her and Rosie Perez 2 of the most overrated spicy cacs

 

[levitate]

WHO!?!?!?

Most women don't bounce back well after pregnancy, especially if they weren't working out beforehand.


This Sabrina broad already has the BBW fat girl arms so that's a wrap either way. The arms don't lie.

 

[Budda]

WHO!?!?!?

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Her husband know how she is……Eddie would’ve had her spread eagle in his trailer on the third day of shooting

But she made music with Full Force

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

But she made music with Full Force

Not the same level of celebrity and two totally different scenarios…Eddie was the King of Hollywood and rumored to have had that BBCD…. and she was gonna play his love interest…. Her husband didn’t have to worry about a studio session with Full Force

That movie would not have worked with him rejecting an African princess for a Latina woman.

Whole point of the movie would have changed.
That casting would have changed way too much history.

 

[kingofnyc]

She's not finer than Lisa McDowell

Shari Headley is/was much badder than her anyways lol

So instead of working at McDowlds (McDonalds) Hakeem would’ve been working at Taco Horn (Taco Bell)

Yeah we didn’t need her. We got an FBA queen.

That movie would not have worked with him rejecting an African princess for a Latina woman.

Patrice McDowell > Lisa

My favorite movie of all time. She probably would've ruined it.

We probably wouldn't have gotten John Amos as her pops or Patrice because of their race.

I'm happy she didn't accept it. That was a role for a black woman not a Latina.

That would have absolutely fukked the movie up. Glad they kept it Black

what makes y’all think it was the leading role of Lisa McDowell

the fact that Eddie ask her - if only could’ve been a small/supporting role ~cause at that time Eddie wasn't the mega star he later on became
