“I’m apparently intimidating,” she shared, referencing feedback she’s received from men in the past. Though, she insists she’s just a regular gal “who’s quirky.”

The actress confessed to finding dating in Los Angeles “so hard.”

The actress, 52, shared that she was using Raya — an exclusive, membership-only dating app that vets their users — for awhile, but “got off of [it]” because no one was even “trying” to write her on there.

“I guess you have to be either super famous or a model,” she rued. “It’s so hard for me to meet people.”

In the past, Davis has reportedly dated actors Jacob Young and Dax Griffin. Since she hasn’t found “the one” just yet, she’s been focusing her attention on her acting career.

The actress, who also hosts her own podcast, “Success Road,” will soon be seen in “Pardon Me: The Bevelyn B. Williams Story.” The film, which premieres in theaters on Aug. 15, follows the true story of Williams, a Black anti-abortion activist. Davis plays a federal judge and stars alongside Blac Chyna.

In order to familiarize herself with the role, she visited various California courts last year, where she stumbled across some MS-13 gang members who were on trial.

“This was right before it kind of blew up,” she remembered, referring to MS-13 becoming a flashpoint in the presidential elections.

“These two guys walk in and [were] shackled heavily. I mean, chains I’ve never [seen], big, thick chains were on their waist … it was frightening.”

Aside from her acting gigs and podcast, Davis is also a regular on TikTok, where she recently shared a video about the measly residual check she got from “Charles in Charge” that totaled $6.06.

The sitcom centered around a manny — played by Scott Baio — who looked after three children. Davis played the oldest daughter in the family, a bookish character named Sarah, whose younger sibling was played by “Baywatch” alum Nicole Eggert.

Davis told Page Six that many people seem to be under the false impression that she’s still receiving hefty checks from the series, which premiered on CBS and ran for five seasons between 1984 and 1990.

“I had a friend at the gym say, ‘God, do you still get those amazing residuals? You must make a lot of money?,’ and I just thought, ‘Are you an idiot?’ He got mad at me because of my reaction,” she said during our interview.

“We were kids,” she exclaimed, referencing her onscreen siblings, Eggert and Alexander Polinsky. “So I mean, they barely paid us anything!”




Let’s be honest—no matter how stressful the day gets, a good viral video can instantly lift your mood. Whether it’s a funny pet doing something silly, a heartwarming moment between strangers, or a wild dance challenge, viral videos are what keep the internet fun and alive.
