After nearly a decade of financial and legal battles, Tisha Campbell and her ex-husband Duane Martin have reached a resolution in their $15 million bankruptcy case. This settlement marks the end of a chapter filled with hardships for the former couple, who divorced in 2020 after 22 years of marriage.
The bankruptcy saga began in 2016 when Campbell and Martin filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, revealing a staggering $16 million in claims, including $9 million owed in taxes and significant real estate debts. Accusations of hidden assets, mishandled finances, and mounting liabilities intensified the turmoil.
Court documents reveal that the settlement involved $1.7 million distributed to claimants through the sale of assets, including their home and seized residuals. Friends Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith were also drawn into the controversy after lending Martin $1.5 million to repurchase their foreclosed home, a move Campbell opposed.
In the years following their separation, Campbell publicly shared the emotional toll the ordeal took on her. In 2019, she revealed being left with just $7 to her name post-divorce, adding that she endured years of emotional and physical abuse during the marriage. Despite these challenges, Campbell has since focused on rebuilding her life, prioritizing her health and well-being.
Meanwhile, Martin has moved on, proposing to Ashley Marie Jones in a grand helicopter ride in February 2024.
For Campbell, this settlement signifies a fresh start after years of financial entanglement and personal struggles. As she puts the past behind her, fans are hopeful for brighter days ahead for the beloved Martin star.
