Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee split up

[babyjane]

Not suprised. After Russell saw the latest line of Baby Phat designs by Kimora even he had had enough.

I'm sad to hear that that are getting divorced...they've been together for so long, and it really looked like they "meshed" well....On a side note, I think it's rather sad that people on this board feel the need to link the dissolution of their marriage to her designs...and go as far to call her a b*tch...who on this board knows the real Kimmorra? Not a single one of us...

I bet there will be big fights about who will get to keep all those leopard skin throws they have scatterd around their house.

somehow I was surprised by this...there's such a huge age difference though! Their little girls are really cute though, I hope they'll be alright!

Although I'm not a Baby Phat kind of person, and nor do I particularly like either of them, I'm saddened by this. Not sure why.

I don't know which one I like the least!!! I saw Russell on with Bill O'Riley who gutted him over his message for the black youth (was very well done, Rus was sputtering by the end!!) and she is the great b*tch of our time!! The only credit I can ever give her is that Karl liked her when she was a young model, but that was years ago and I'd guess she's very different today (never see them together either, which may mean something...) I've driven by their house in North Jersey...they make Trump look conservative and sedate!!!

I hope this becomes a dragged through the mud divorce; couldn't happen to two nicer people!!!

OMG! She modeled for Chanel? What was Karl thinking. She is by far the most unattractive woman I have ever seen. Does anyone have a photo of this? I have to see it to believe it.

 

[Mary-Anne]

ewww I hate Baby Phat....
I dont care if they split, it is bad since they have kids together..... but these things happen and you move on.

 

[silk skin paws]

She has the worst neck in Hollywood, second only to Britney Spears. You can tell her age by the amount of rings in it!

Now it's time for some VF quotes: http://popsugar.com/108

Densi Vasi needs to watch her back

I feel for the kids.

 

[waukon73]

I watched her one time and she truely does seem to care for her two daughters.

Do you think this will be the end of Baby Phat?

*villainous hand-wringing*

...does it make money..?
if so...then no...

 

[onehotgrrl]

Russell told the nypost that there will be no fighting over money and that the relationship was over years ago.

They were also living in separate wings of their 35,000 sq.ft estate.

Russell is so mild mannered... i'm surprised it took this long to finally split up. lol

unless you really know the girl you shouldn't be calling her a b*tch, on this Vh1 special Simmons was equally nasty to her by cutting her off with a blunt comment and she was being very sweet. Maybe her "bitchyness" on camera is a front for her failing marriage and falandering husband, who knows? Baby Phat is also as much hers since she was the chief marketing and designer, so she deserves whatever monetary income she might receive. Russell though, ugh if it's true about Denise Vasi, he sure loves those young chickens

Kimora has had a lot of plastic surgery since the early 90's when she modeled for Chanel. On a television special they interviewed her, and showed ( for a split second) a picture of her modeling back then, like completely different!, I had to pause it to be sure, because I didn't even really recognize her. Her nose especially was changed.

Kimora seemed like a halfwit throughout the interview as well, I was not impressed. They also said that they had sold Phat Farm, and Baby Phat, last year, but Kimora got to stay on as head designer.

Oh, she looked so pretty back then! And Karl looks like an impersonator of himself...
