Tasha Smith Husband
In December 2010, Smith married her boyfriend of one year Keith Douglas, who was also her manager. In November 2014, Smith appeared in court to request a restraining order against Douglas, who in documents filed prior to the court appearance, she said accused her of having affairs with other women. Smith’s friend Tisha Campbell-Martin acted as a character witness. The final divorce decree was issued in March 2015.
However, Smith contested the divorce by alleging that Douglas concealed information from her that she should have known before the marriage. Smith alleged that Douglas was not “man of the cloth” that he presented himself to be during their courtship. She also said that, if she had known about Douglas’ background, she would not have married him.
The allegations about Douglas’ background included five marriages before he married Smith, multiple children that he did not claim and disclose to Smith, and non-payment of income taxes for nearly a decade. The judge in the case granted Smith an annulment of the marriage in December 2015 on the basis of fraud committed by Douglas.

Keith Douglas Tasha Smith
Tasha Smith’s end to her marital nightmare came when the judge granted her an annulment after finding her ex, Keith Douglas, to be a fraud. It doesn’t seem like Douglas is going away without a fight, and he has filed court documents to protest the annulment.
The TWO divorced in 2014, which included competing restraining orders and Smith alleging that Douglas is gay. After a few months of mud-slinging, they reached a settlement that included Tasha paying Douglas a $50,000 lump sum and $7,000 a month in alimony.
However, the court found that he was still married to two other women, had lied about how many children he had, wasn’t a pastor as he claimed and hadn’t paid taxes in years. Getting an annulment after so many years of marriage is rare, so the case against Douglas must have been really strong.
Monique Smith Tasha Smith
Monique Smith is Tasha’s mother, Tasha was angry, disappointed and embarrassed about her (mother) being on drugs. The mother says that she thought she was hiding the drugs, but her children could look in her eyes and see through her. Sometimes she didn’t want to go home because of the guilty, the shame she felt and afraid of how they would look at her.
She currently stars in the Tyler Perry television series, “FOR BETTER OR WORSE,” on OWN for which she earned an NAACP Image Award nomination as “Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series.” Smith’s memorable portrayal of ‘Angela,’ in Perry’s box office hits, “WHY DID I GET MARRIED?” and its sequel, “WHY DID I GET MARRIED, TOO?”, alongside Janet Jackson and Jill Scott, sparked the creation of the spin-off series which is focused around her relationship with onscreen husband, ‘Marcus,’ played by Michael Jai White. She will next be seen on the silver screen in Lionsgate’s upcoming feature, “ADDICTED,” with Sharon Leal and Boris Kodjoe. The film, adapted from the popular erotic fiction novel which follows trials and tribulations of a successful sex-addicted African-American businesswoman, is slated for an October 10, 2014, theatrical release. Additionally, Smith was just tapped for Fox’s Lee Daniels hip-hop drama pilot, “EMPIRE,” in a recurring role opposite Taraji P. Henson.
Smith’s other film credits include Tyler Perry’s “DADDY’S LITTLE GIRLS” (Lionsgate), as “Jennifer” opposite Idris Elba and Gabrielle Union. Her performance still resonates with audiences and critics alike. Smith went on to co-star in the #1 box office film, “JUMPING THE BROOM” (Columbia), starring Paula Patton, Laz Alonso, and Angela Bassett. She also appeared in the romantic comedy, “COUPLES RETREAT” (Universal), starring opposite Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, Jason Bateman, and Faizon Love, adding to her already impressive box office resume which includes; “ATL” (Warner Bros.) with T.I. and Mykelti Williamson, “THE GOOD MOTHER” (Sony/Screen Gems) with Angie Harmon and Joel Gretsch, “THE WHOLE TEN YARDS” (Warner Bros.) with Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry, and the sports drama, “THE LONGSHOTS” (Dimension/The Weinstein Company) with Ice Cube and Keke Palmer.
Smith is also well-known for her extensive work on the small screen; most notably, her critically-acclaimed portrayal of the drug-addicted, ‘Ronnie Boyce,” in HBO’s Emmy Award-winning mini-series, “THE CORNER,” directed by Charles S. Dutton. Smith has also guest starred on numerous popular television shows such as; “NIP/TUCK,” “MEET THE BROWNS,” “THE GAME,” “GIRLFRIENDS,” “ALL OF US,” “WITHOUT A TRACE,” and “STRONG MEDICINE,” among others.
