Summary

Tisha Campbell & Melissa De Sousa pull up to Lip Service for one of the wildest, most honest conversations yet. From navigating polyamory and sneaky exes to terrifying real-life encounters—including Tisha’s jaw-dropping story of narrowly escaping a drugging—they cover it all.

The actresses break down their new film Operation Aunties, reflect on dating through the decades, and talk about the challenges of being known for iconic roles like Gina (from Martin) and Shelby (from The Best Man). Melissa opens up about her dealbreakers (spoiler: weed every day is a no), while Tisha shares how stalkers, parenting, and fame have shaped her perspective.

It’s laughter, real talk, and serious lessons all in one episode.

Topics include:

Polyamory & why it didn’t work
Dating red flags & embarrassing situationships
Tisha’s true story of nearly being drugged as a teen
Tech panic & behind-the-scenes on Operation Aunties
Stalkers, stereotypes, and life beyond “Gina”
Friendship dates vs. expectations
Self-worth, sensuality, and setting boundaries
