DMX's Wife Plotting Divorce

Things for DMX just keep getting worse and worse. Aside from his very public mounting legal woes and alleged drug addiction, the Yonker's born rapper's wife Tasheera Simmons is planning to file for divorce. The former couple, who were together for two decades and have four children, have since gone their separate ways. "I haven't filed [for divorce] yet but we are separated," Simmons said in an interview.

Simmons is also writing a book about her life as a mother and wife to one of hip-hop's most notable figures. "It's not a tell-all, I want to clear that up," she said. "It's a memoir about our life. My life and his life together because I feel in his book he didn't really get into detail to better understand it. With all the drama and everything going on now, I think my book explains everything. It's just our story I just don't like the 'tell-all' because it's a positive 'tell-all' I guess I'll say that."

In regards to whether or not she'll be spilling the beans on details surrounding X's fall from grace and decent into a lifestyle that includes one arrest after another, Simmons declined. "I'm more classier than that. I definitely wouldn't go there. I'm going to let people judge for themselves. I'm going to tell the whole story but not in a dissing way."

As previously reported X, born Earl Simmons, is serving a six-month sentence for probation violation. In a desperate attempt to save his client, X's lawyer Gary Jenkins requested the assistance of addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinksy by way of the reality show 'Celebrity Rehab.' The show chronicles celebs' recovery process during treatment at the Pasadena Recovery Center. Pinksy also wrote a letter to the judge asking that X be admitted to the rehab facility. No word yet on whether or not X will appear on the show.

plain and simple...shes just really ugly. sure shes been there for 20 years and stood by while he had his fun on tour and such, now the money and relationship is gone so she writes a book to get paid...sounds like america to me. this has nothing to do with race or anything like that, just call it what it is. white, black, etc, shes just trying to make money off her x-superstar husband. get off the race crap already...both sides...its pretty old and pathetic.

Jesus DMX's wife is busted. Although her bikini pics over at http://www.infinitehollywood.com/ pretty much show why he stayed with her.

AHMAD, BEFORE YOU START TALKING ABOUT WHITE WOMEN, YOU NEED TO DO YOURSELF AND ALL WOMEN A FAVOR AND LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR. YOU SHOULD TRY IT SOMETIME. AND AS FAR AS DMX AND HIS WIFE ARE CONCERNED, IT HAPPENS BUT DONT GO HATING ON THE WHITE WOMEN NOW BECAUSE THAT CAN GET YOU INTO SOME SEROUS TROUBLE WITH THE RACE MY FRIEND. THATS JUST A FAIR WARNING TO YOU

It's hard to imagine that someone who says "I'm more classier than that" is to be a published author.

ACTUALLY, The word is descent, not dissent, not decent. Know what you're talking about before you correct someone. Obviously, to anyone with half a brain, this is a TYPO!!!
Do you even know what dissent means?
