[size=+1]Kimora sez Vanity un-Fair[/size]

Kimora Lee Simmons is hitting back at Vanity Fair editors for running negative reader mail about her, following a scathing profile of the Baby Phat queen.

"The editors over there were very specific about the letters they chose to print," she told us. "I don't really understand what's going on over there."

Simmons said anyone who calls her selfish doesn't really know her.

"Do all the kids I'm trying to help, who I open my home up to, do they think I'm selfish? Do the several children I am trying to adopt think I'm selfish?"

The fashionista did just donate $75,000 to Astor Place's Harvey Milk School as part of the gay and lesbian high school's naming and expansion campaign. "I love the cause, because these kids have come up in a way that they weren't really understood. ...These are kids who are naturally fashionable and they just inspire me to do so much," gushed Kimora, who has a lifestyle guide coming out with ReganBooks next spring.

does money justify selfishness... I don't know

There was what only one or two "nice" letters and I wouldn't be surprised if they were the only ones they recieved.
She just who can't handle the truth - people aren't jealous of her, they just don't like her.

Just because you donate huge amounts of money to charity doesn't make you a nice person.

She needs to buy a clue.

i don't know...i like her...but alot of people seem to hate her...i don't know why...

 

[CitraBenzoet]

[yourbestfriend]

What??? So she donated to the school because the kids are fashionable??

It's nice that she gives into stereotypes about homosexuals.

"Naturally fashionable?"

Thats what i was wondering when i read it, this womans so full of herself. Shes so far into her "lifestyle" she dosen't even realize what shes doing. She most likely only donates so she can use it as an excuse for being a "good person"

Exactly, you donate money to make yourself feel you're doing some good, not so you can boast about it.

"Do the several children I am trying to adopt think I'm selfish?" - That quote makes her sound really bad.
I don't think she's a bad person (sometimes I actually quite like her - She can't design for s**t though) she's just somewhat naive if she thinks that the press won't try and manipulate what she says for their own benefit i.e sales.

OK, I'm sure a lot of people will disagree with this, but donating money doesn't mean you're not selfish...especially when you have a lot of it. The Simmons have a $50,000 toilet. I'm sure 75,000 is pocket change for them. Also, when people donate money and then go around and tell people how much they donated, I really start to question why they donated it in the first place.

 

[modelmama]

Since we do not know how she really is in "real life". I can tell you this. Her "public persona"

ANNOYS THE CRAP OUTTAH ME! ARGH!!!!

Does anyone have excerpt of the letters that were used? What issue was it in? I am soo curious to know what was written to VF regarding Her Majaesty Lady Simmons

I mean, I dont understand how everytime Kimora opens her mouth, she manages to make a complete ignoramus of herself. I could understand the hurt and disappointment she might have felt ....but- geesh, Its not what you say, its how you say it.

 

[Tinuviel]

^ Exactly morgan. Unless you're trying to raise awareness for a cause, just keep it to yourself.

 

[Plastic'sWife]

fashionable kids?

What does that mean, did I read that right?...

 

[scblonndie]

You're very right, Morgan.


A selfish person would have a $50,000 toilet. And I read the article on her and it was GREAT. It wasn't so much what the writer was saying but the things that she was quoted saying. She's a really despicable person, but maybe she'll see the error of her ways..

 

[Erin]

Oh jeez, magazines print negative feedback from their readers all the time. Kimora, not everybody loves you!

 

[LilyGirl]

I couldn't even read the article. I got to the second line where she likened herself to Coretta Scott King and nearly threw up.

 

[morgan38]

Does anybody have a link to the article? I'd really like to read what they wrote?

 

[Spike413]

That's funny....Kimora, rude and selfish? I refuse to believe it

God I can't stand her.

"Buying salvation" is a common practice since the Medival Ages
