Nicole Murphy has made her way to all the blogs this week – for all the wrong reasons.
The 51-year-old was pictured kissing married director Antoine Fuqua in Italy last Saturday.
The mother-of-five has since apologized to the Fuqua family for “what transpired.”
But Murphy has now been accused of being a “serial mistress.” With actress Lisa Raye accusing her of cheating with her ex husband.
Murphy was seen out in Los Angeles on Wednesday running to the gym.
It was her first public outing since issuing her apology to the Fuqua family.
The model kept a low profile in a skintight outfit as she left the gym in Beverly Hills.
Murphy had her earbuds in and wore a dark cap. Despite the scandal, Nicole managed a smile or two.
On Wednesday, the ex wife of comedian Eddie Murphy told TMZ that “it was not her intention to be in the situation.”
Anthony Fuqua is currently married to Waiting To Exhale actress Lela Rochon, 55.
The pair married in 1999 and share two children.
“Without going into the entire situation, I want to apologize to my family, and to Lela and the Fuqua family for what transpired,” she said.
“It was not my intention to be in this situation. I do not condone women kissing or interacting in anyway inappropriately with a married man.”
“I too was once married and I would never intentionally undermine another woman, despite what has been written.”
TMZ further reported that Murphy believed Antoine and Lela’s 20-year relationship was over.
“Nicole was under the impression that Antoine was divorced, and that’s why she engaged with him the way she did. We’re told she feels terrible about this and hopes folks can forgive her for the mistake,” revealed sources close to Nicole, according to TMZ.
It’s a massive turnaround after a rep for Murphy told BScott.com on Tuesday: “Antoine and Nicole are just family friends. She ran into him in Italy and they exchanged a friendly hello and that was it.”
But it certainly looked very intimate as the pair sipped coffee on a patio at the Regina Isabella hotel in Ischia, Italy.
Meanwhile, Lela Rochon deactivated her Instagram account on Monday, just as photos of the rendezvous emerged online.
Things appeared to be going well back in February, as she congratulated her spouse on winning a filmmaker award at the MPSE Golden Reel Awards
Adding more fuel to the fire, The Players Club actress Lisa Raye stepped into TheShadeRoom.
“Gurl @nikimurphy you went after @iamlelarochon husband too…smh. So wrong…again!!!”
Raye’s sister, rapper Da Brat, also confirmed during an episode of Dish Nation this week that Murphy cheated with Raye’s ex-husband, Michael Misick.
