Kimora Lee Simmons has already moved on, but she took steps to make it official by filing for divorce from her husband of seven years, entertainment mogul Russell Simmons.

Although the couple separated in March 2006, Kimora Lee Simmons just filed divorce papers Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court. The 32-year-old Baby Phat fashion designer and reality TV star cited irreconcilable differences.

She and Russell Simmons, 50, have two daughters: 8-year-old Ming Lee and 5-year-old Aoki Lee. Kimora Lee Simmons is seeking legal and physical custody of the children. She requested that Russell Simmons be granted "reasonable child visitation ... accompanied at all times by the children's nanny and security personnel."

Russell Simmons co-founded Def Jam records and created Phat Farm clothing and HBO's "Def Comedy Jam."

Kimora Lee Simmons has been dating actor Djimon Honsou.

Look under the word TACKY in the dictionary and you will see her picture. I've heard her speak, seen about 6 minutes of her show(wanted to throw up) and she epitomizes the WORST you can imagine about women especially gold digging self centered and I do mean SELF CENTERED women.

That Russel put up with her at all is amazing and I can only attribute to that to the children. But her rediculous assertion that the children always have HER "security" around is just egotistical beyond reason as well.

She is a horrible horrible human being. God help her children and that they take after their father and NEVER her, but considering how they were acting on the show I doubt it.

Ryhmes with runt.

I believe she is the epitome of ghetto.

Purchased 3 pairs of BabyPhat Jeans 2 yrs ago and one pair tore as soon as I put it on. The other pair rip in the washer on it first wash. (And no, they didn't rip because they were tight... I purchased size 6 and I am a 4.) While I wear the one other pair often, this brand's quality is or was at the time I made my purchase is very poor. The action of the owner is just as poor.

And I am not slandering

There is NOTHING sexier and attractive than a strong, intelligent, INDEPENDENT woman. Kimora Lee & Heather Mills reek of opportunism and greed. While Kimora may have started Baby Phat, she did it with HIS money. Maybe he should get half of her future earnings regarding that company. As far as Mills goes, 49 million and 70,000 a year should be plenty, BUT SHE WANTS MORE. Right after her court case, Mills and her 4 yr. old went on a plane trip together, and Mills flew 1st class, and made her daughter fly coach!(and sit by herself) Ponderous. I hope Paul McCartney makes his next wife sign a prenup, if he ever trusts anyone again.

She must have had something he liked--other than just being a beard

A nanny at all times? Why can't the man get some one on one with his girls? Is her mother creating a situation where they are so high maintenance that if Russel runs to take a pee that they will fall apart if they are not doted on every second of every day? Kimora, i hope they at least know how to make a sandwich to save their own life if need be!

Nasty woman. The story goes that at their wedding she gave her vow as "...For richer and for MUCH richer..."
Cha-ching, sweetcheeks.

Its the newest way to generate income. Marry , drain him for what you can, divorce him, and get the rest. Move on to the next victim.

Kimora is proof that no amount of money can buy grace, manners or class.

Paris Hilton proved that years ago.

Couldn't stand watching the show for more than a few seconds, such gross materialism, and gross conspicuous consumption of wealth (per previous comment) but of course the corporate media just loves to promote that. Is there any outrage from their respective communites of asians and african americans?

Yet another "independent" woman that used a rich man and his money to start a business, have a few kids, and then divorce him and take 50%+plus of his money,INCLUDING child support. HOW TYPICAL. She's just another Heather Mills, who got 49 million plus child support and hires accountants and lawyers to try and get MORE. They both make me physically ill.

as a woman...I totally agree with you

But he's a smart man. Should've figured it out.

I don't get it...she wants sole physical custody, yet the children are being raised by the nanny. What's the point, (except child support payments I guess)?

who said the children are being raised by the nanny?

having a nanny doesn't mean you are not parenting; it means you have help.

Kimora Lee Simmons is the worst kind of fame whore. She is the ultimate representation of gross conspicuous consumption of wealth. However, I am a little curious to know why she hates her soon to be ex so much... so much that she doesn't want him alone with their daughters ever. If it wasn't for Russell Simmons, Kimora would be living in a little shack. He made her who she is.

kimora while a tacky and materialsitic gal was a high fashion model....Russell didn't find her on the streets and he didn't "make her". she came into her own as a high fashion model and was awarded an exclusive modelling contract at age 14 by Chanel..if that isn't due to a work ethic I don't know what is.

americans mostly male, are so uncomfortable with the idea of a powerful and wealthy woman that a woman's wealth is often falsely attributed to a male in their life; or americans simply attack as in the case of oprah.

First of all, modeling contracts have been held by hundreds of thousands of people, whereas self-made media and fashion dynasties like Russell Simmons' might be comparable to a few dozen others, at best.

Kimora Lee Simmons' first job may not have come from Russell, but all her best opportunities certainly did, and she openly bled him like the shameless vampire she is.

Secondly, most Americans are NOT male (49.2% vs. 50.8% female), and represent a wide range of sensibilities regarding female empowerment and financial status. Some of our progress in that respect has apparently gone without notice by the (*cough*tunnel vision*cough*) likes of you.

Lastly, your impression that Oprah is 'under attack' is entirely foreign to my (white American male) world. My sense is, if anything, she's near-universally respected for having busted her ass for a LOOONG time to get where she is, and certainly deserves better than to be compared, even indirectly, to a parasitic sloth like Kimora Lee Simmons.

By now, she would have been a nobody if she hadn't married Russell Simmons. I didn't say that he found her on the streets. I am saying that she should remember where she came from. Yes, she was a model, but who knew her then? I have no problem with the "idea of a powerful and wealthy woman." Kimora is a very bad example of one.

I guess she should just close down her company and turn in her millions huh?

Look Trump is not a good example of a millionaire nor is Murdoch nor are any of the ENRON people or the entire Bush family' : all corrupt corporatists having the last laugh on us. This woman is harmless though maybe not to her kids who can stand a better example but she may grow up after all.
