TISHA & DUANE MARTIN CLARIFY RUMORS!

Finally, Tisha and Duane surface. I was starting to wonder if the viscious rumors were true! Well on Essence Magazine’s website Tisha and Duane Martin make it their business to dispel the horrible rumors alleging Duane left Tisha to pursue a relationship with Will Smith.  LOL! The couple has been married for 11 YEARS, known eachother for 17 YEARS, and the couple says they will strive to continue to stay together for years to come. Awwww. Duane and Tisha also talk about their son’s Autism. Check out some excerpts from the interview with Essence here:

Essence.com: For the past month, the blogosphere has been filled with rumors about the future of your marriage. How are you holding up?
D.M.: Mark Twain said it best: “A lie can travel halfway round the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” So I’m not going to defend myself against a gay rumor when I’m trying to defend my son against autism. We would look really stupid trying to take our focus off autism, which affects all of us, to fight a gay rumor. The reason we are talking today is because what we will defend is our 17-year relationship. Nobody is touching that. So whoever wants to rumble, let’s rumble.
T.M.: (Laughs) My baby’s smart! My baby daddy’s smart. My baby daddy reads.

Essence.com: So for the record, are you getting a divorce?

T.M.: Hell no!
D.M.: Listen, let me tell you something. I will chew her ass up and swallow it before I let somebody else have her.
T.M.: (laughs) Jeffrey Dahmer-style!
