When business gets messy, it’s time to call in the family. They’re not afraid to get their hands a little dirty. Here’s a look at “The Family Business: New Orleans.” Lela Rochon wants everyone to mind their business, not hers. Lela plays big Shirley Duncan, head of the Duncan family, in the new BET+ show “The Family Business: New Orleans”. Lela Rochon: “She’s strong, I think she’s powerful, I think you don’t mess with her, and she’s just a gun-toting woman from the South.” Things get crazy when a rival crime boss tries to take over the Duncans’ casino, Midnight Blues. Lela Rochon: “Some things pop off where, you know, she’s gotta call on her criminal family to help her out.” Well, it’s a good thing Lela has Yvette Nicole Brown to watch her back, because that’s what family does. Yvette Nicole Brown: “Monique is kind of the comedic relief at times on the show, but she’s also the muscle for Big Shirley when need be, the alibi when need be, and she’s a vault for all of Big Shirley’s secrets.” Now, even though Lela’s not into playing games on the show, she does like to try her luck at the tables. Lela Rochon: “I gamble, I do. I am very good at blackjack. That’s my game, and I love to go to Vegas.” And you, Yvette? Yvette Nicole Brown: “Teach me your ways. I am a slot machine person. I got a $20-$50 limit depending on how my life is going at the time, and when I win my $20 or $50 back, I get out, and if I lose it, I’m gone.” With all this talk about family, we wanted to know who the stars depend on when there’s trouble. Lela Rochon: “I have my big sister, Vanessa Bell Calloway, and, you know, Holly Robinson Peete, Tina Knowles, Vivica Fox. I have like a little crew.” Yvette Nicole Brown: “I have a few. I have four friends from high school that I’m still friends with.” “The Family Business: New Orleans” starts streaming next Thursday on BET+.
