When Tisha Campbell married fellow actor Duane Martin in 1996, her career was going well.
Sadly, her personal life was not the greatest.
According to Campbell, Martin began physically abusing her just months after they walked down the aisle.
And, once the smoke cleared, she was left in financial ruin.
Yet, they owed $455,000 to City National Bank and $39,000 to American Express and other creditors.
Martin received a $1.4 million loan from his friends, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.
The funds were meant to save Martin and Campbell’s home from foreclosure.
However, Martin did not list the property in the bankruptcy filing.
He also allegedly hid over $2 million in assets through his company, Roxe LLC.
Throughout this process, Campbell moved forward with her divorce from Martin, even demanding spousal support.
Their eldest, Xen, was an adult by this time.
While Martin still walked away with some profits from the sale of their home, Campbell was left empty-handed.
“Nothing in the bank.
I had maybe $7 to my name, and I was scared.
It was like I was starting all over,” she admitted toEntertainment Tonightin December.
Thankfully, the beloved actor landed back on her feet thanks to several career highs.
Campbell also confirmed to ET that she wasn’t dating, nor was she interested in doing so.
The actor is likely still scarred fromher own “uncoupling” experience.
