Is Rev. Al Sharpton dating actress LisaRaye?
Rumor around the campfire is that actress LisaRaye McCoy and the Rev. Al Sharpton are playing the dating game.
But LisaRaye’s publicist says no way, no how, according to EurWeb.com.
And the Rev. Al said he was just LisaRaye’s friend on the “Tom Joyner Morning Show” Wednesday, Sept. 28.
LisaRaye’s publicist Lynn Jeter told EurWeb.com that the pair are involved in the White House Education Tour not each other. The tour also includes Education Secretary Arne Duncan and former GOP House speaker Newt Gingrich.
She denied that Sharpton was ever LisaRaye’s ‘spiritual adviser’ in any sense of the word.
“Every time you see LisaRaye with some person, don’t assume that she’s dating them,” Jeter says on the website. “There’s a bigger picture to what she’s doing.”
LisaRaye, who is best known for her roles in “All of Us,” “Beauty Shop,” and “The Players Club,” is founder of Radiant Jewels, an organization that gives scholarships to young girls.
She and the Rev. have been photographed holding hands and all but snuggling over the past few days. But maybe seeing is not believing.

Media Take Out says the pair looked “couple’d up” at Roland Martin’s recent Congressional Black Caucus party in Washington D.C.
If they are dating, I say no harm, no foul. Despite the age difference, they are both sort of single and sort of ready to mingle.
Sharpton separated from his wife, Kathy Jordan, in 2004. LisaRaye separated from her in 2008.
In other Al Sharpton news. His education statement was not received well on WWE’s Raw Monday, Sept. 28. The crowd booed when he tried to talk about education.
