Who's His Rumored Girlfriend Lisa?

Apart from his marriage, Wyclef was also known for having an affair with his manager Lisa Ellis, the time when his father died in 2012. However, that relationship was not allowed to go any further as he fired her to maintain distance. 

Things got out of control when Wyclef revealed his manager's nude pictures on his phone and the media got hold of it all. Lisa and Wyclef, who were more than just client and manager seem to be sharing a friendly relationship as seen in a tweet by Lisa in 2011.

However, the scandal left Lisa unhappy. Her perspective is that the scandal was a planned act to attack her public image and took her voice to the media. When asked if Mark the photographer leaked the pictures, she said in an interview;

"I don't have the photo myself, Mark did not send the photo out. I am being attacked for no reason."
