Meet Felicia Forbes, wife of actor Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister aka Debo. The two met in South Africa while Lister was working on the action movie “Blast”, which starred popular actor-comedian Eddie Griffin.

The couple married in Cape Town, South Africa back in 2003. The wedding took place at the home of noted South Africa construction developer Faik Haroun and his wife, Malie.  Famed actor Samuel L. Jackson was among the celebrity guests. Lister and Samuel are members of West Angeles Church of God in Christ in Los Angeles.

Felicia, a missionary and minister, is from Cape Town, South Africa. The couple has one daughter together. Currently, the couple ministers across the country, reaching out to troubled youth, churches and schools.

An east side clothing store reopened on Wednesday, one day after hundreds of people came to the store looking to get free merchandise from a woman who claimed she won the lottery. Workers at Burlington Coat Factory, located on East Main Street, spent most of Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon cleaning the mess after hundreds of people left, 10TV’s Tanisha Mallett reported. The woman, who 10TV News is not identifying because she was not charged, was in court Wednesday morning on previous charges, including making false 911 calls. She is awaiting a mental evaluation, Mallett reported.
