Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making of “School Daze”
Moms is Not Feeling It
Tisha’s mother Mona Campbell, who also served as her manager, advised Tisha not to take the role of Jane Toussaint. But Tisha and her mother share a close relationship and her mother has said that she never actually made decisions for her daughter, she just shared her opinion. This time Tisha decided not to listen. Her mom was able to see later that it paid off, calling the role a good vehicle to propel her singing career. But just because Mona let Tisha take the lead on this one, it doesn’t mean that she just stepped away. Rumor has it that Mona was on the set of the film, monitoring Tisha to make sure all the men on the set didn’t try anything. Whether this is true or not, Tisha’s momager has certainly been called over-protective. This is what she had to say about it:
“I can certainly separate the two-motherhood and management … I don’t like conflict but I can handle it. And I don’t like wasting time and money. Some think I’m a bit bitchy or overly protective of Tisha, but when it comes to doing business, I hope that the maternal instinct stays with me.”
Nothing wrong with that.
