La La Anthony Gives Her Most Candid Interview Yet Since Splitting With Carmelo Anthony
Who knows what the future will hold for La La Anthony and Carmelo Anthony?
The couple split earlier this spring amid reports that the basketball player had been unfaithful. When the Power actress appeared on Power 105.1 FM's The Breakfast ClubWednesday, she spoke candidly about the events surrounding their breakup—and where they both stand today.
The conversation was first focused on the most recent episode of Power,
in which La La took part in a racy sex scene. "I want to address this
once and for all. The problem is people don't know how to separate Lala
from LaKeisha—that's my character on Power.
My character is currently in a relationship with Tommy, and when you're
in a relationship, you have sex and you take your top off. You don't
have sex fully clothed. If I am a true actor, then that's what I'm going
to do," she said. "And I will say this, to be on Power, we got sat down from the first episode on Season 1 to sign a nudity clause. At some point…it's going to come for everybody."
How did she prepare for the big moment? "Well, I know how to have sex..." she joked.
La
La also laughed when the hosts asked if Carmelo liked the episode.
"Well, let's start with the sex scene. That was done eight months ago.
So, when it was going on, you sit down, have a discussion with the
person you're with and say, 'Hey, this is what's coming up in the
script. I want to make sure you're comfortable with it. I want it to be
done as tastefully as I can,'" La La said. And since the episode aired,
she hasn't talked to her ex about it: "I try not to bring it up."
Speaking of her ex...
Amid
reports that Carmelo is unhappy with the New York Nicks and requested
he be traded to the Houston Rockets, the hosts asked if La La is willing
to relocate to Texas. "I'm not moving anywhere," she laughed. "I am New
York, born and bred, and I will be staying here." Asked whether the
whole family will stay in the Big Apple, La La replied, "I don't know
about that. I don't know about those trick questions you're trying to
ask me, but I am staying in New York."
What if Carmelo does in fact move? "We haven't got...We're not at that place yet," she said.
Besides,
the couple is "not divorced," she added. In spite of their breakup, she
insisted, "He's my best friend. When you're with someone for 13 years
since they were 19 years old, and you have a 10 year-old child, you'd
hope that you guys would be cool. We are the best of friends." When
someone took pity on Carmelo, La La joked, "Don't feel sorry for him!
Feel sorry for me!"
