Ty Cole held it down at the BET Media House this year and scored the exclusive vibe with R&B legend turned actress Letoya Luckett. The vibe? Real. The energy? Next level.
Plant-Based Realness
It kicked off with wings — crispy or not? Latoya kept it honest: she loves ‘em crunchy but not dry. Now fully plant-based… mostly. She’ll slide in some seafood too – low-key pescatarian. But, when asked if she’d eat plant-based wings if they tasted real: she’s down— “If it’s good, it’s good.” And the love story of that Jamaican plant-based joint? Lifelong. Six hours, heartfelt, tree-house vibes. She was mad at first, but that meal? “Best food I’ve ever had.” The green life just hit differently.
Sipping & Sample Talk
Her bar cart is on health: Mexico margs, champagne, dry reds, or water only. She’s riding that plant-based wave—oat and cashew milk in the mix. Creamy and kinda sweet—just like her.
Cheating Ain’t Her Jam
The convo got real personal when Ty joked about her flirting at Pride in DC. She fired back with swagger: “Gay Black men don’t cheat—I’m single.” As a Pisces who thrives on structure, she shuts down mess with a firm boundary: arbitration of love happens, but once the Aries is done, “it’s over.”
All About Divorced Sisters
She’s making moves in Tyler Perry’s new series Divorced Sisters. This isn’t the buttoned-up, traditional first lady — this Lady Luckett’s character is funny, bold, and keeps it :100:. She fell in love, ended up running the country’s tightest friendship crew, but her marriage? It’s layered. She says she signed up because she’s never played this kind of depth before.
Divorce Wisdom = Power Moves
Latoya’s been through it—twice divorced and remarried. She used those chapters to grow. No regrets: she took time to heal, set priorities (kids first!), and dove into her faith. Her takeaway? Structure, communication—even in tough conversations—and trusting gut instincts before reacting. “Not everything needs to be said right away.”
Music on the Way
She’s teased Ty—music is popping back soon. It’s been two years since she took time off for family and her craft. She’s hoping for “late this year or early next.” No rush—quality over volume. And she promises it will be real, heartfelt, and written by her.
Sneak Peek Alert
Calling all viewers: Bet Plus is the move. A topline preview of Divorced Sisters drops right after the BET Awards on June 10, with full release on the following Tuesday (June 17). Ty spent three weeks roughing it—bronchitis and all—so don’t miss that voice premiere. She’s back and better.
Final Take
Latoya Luckett brought her full self—bold, honest, and revealing. From plant-based cravings and masterful marriage moves to her hot new Tyler Perry role and soul-baring divorce lessons, she keeps showing up. BET Media House got the tea, and it’s worth sipping.
