Another Day, Another Lawsuit

Posted by Bossip Staff

Kimora Lee Simmons Lawsuit

Kimora Lee Simmons is being sued by Macy’s:

Kimora Lee Simmons overcharged Macy’s for her beauty products and then refused to pay back the extra profit, according to a lawsuit filed last week in Manhattan Supreme Court. In September 2006, four months after Simmons separated from her multimillionaire husband, Def Jam Records co-founder Russell Simmons, she signed an agreement to provide Macy’s with her line of cosmetics. But then she allegedly jacked up the price of her beauty products. Simmons declined comment.

We can say that we are not surprised that she’s jacking up prices for some mediocre cosmetics. She probably doesn’t even wear that sh*t herself, better yet, she probably doesn’t even let Ming Lee and Aoki play in that stuff and she’s overcharging Macy’s. The nerve of some people.

    smh…what was the point of jacking up the price?…she must have thought that Macys, who’s been in business for i donno how many years, would actually be stupid and not do research…now she’s gonna have to pay.

  5. VISTAfordays

  6. hipho

    Wow!!OMG! She is really a hot babe…a sex bomb.A friend there told me that he saw her profile with some her pics on http://www.meetrich.com. That sounds amazing, she went there for dating hot guys?

  7. Lady K

    Kimora just beat them to it

    I like Kimora as a sucessful woman..however she is a diva so im not surprised..Baby Phat fashions are a downgrade because of the cheap ass material..sory to say but im being honest;-)


  11. Another day, another dollar

  12. JaliliMaster

    Baby Phat is shit!

  13. Kim

    She looks fab but i dont understand why she sells wack clothes!!! Love her shoes in that pic but i bet they aint babyphat!

  14. Tee-Tee

    Baby Phat = Phat Farm = FUBU

  15. Fit-n-Fab

    Baby Phat is god-awful ugly. What’s with all the chains on her bags? She definately produces quantity vs QUALITY…it’s garbage!

  16. kai

    Fuck Macys! I would have overcharged their ass as well. Matter fact she should have overcharged Neiman Marcus lol, all the money they are taking in.

  17. kai

    Lady K I am with you 100 %!! These business are RUTHLESS, you just have to beat them to the punch..


  18. FUCK THE BITCH.

  19. vgeezy

    She lost sight of her consumer..Years ago black women don’t want cheap clothing…No matter who makes it. How are you going to have a clothing line and don’t wear your own shit….Even Beyonce don’t wear that tacky shit her mother makes!!!!

    I cosign with Bossip.

  21. Bahama Mama

    Is it me or does she look kinda tranny-ish in the pic??

    She’s try’n a wee bit too hard to be sexy…AND it’s not a good look….*shakes head*

  22. FRISCO'S FINEST: SHAUNA

    I don’t care about her make-up line that is not worth shit anyways, I will stick to MAC. I used to love Baby Phat until I started hearing people say they got it at burlington and Marshalls/Ross. And after I started watching her show Life in the Fab Lane…… it really turned me off, she is such a bitch. I do not understand why? And what is up with the Baby Phat and Rush card claiming to help people that have low or no credit……..isnt that just making money problems worse, for every purchase someone make they take $2.50 off top. Something don’t seem right.


  23. Maybe she is bankrupt… anyway, I think she’s sexy and I hope she will escape from this situation

  24. neekah

    BabyPhat has gotten downright tacky and cheap looking. As far as the comment about buying it from Marshalls or Burlington Coat Factory instead of Macys or BabyPhat themselves, in all reality it really doesn’t matter. She overcharges for the cheap material she uses and also you should know that Macy’s markup is over 60% so to get it at Marshalls would be a steal. I stopped buying BabyPhat after her her stuff started getting cheesy and tacky looking. My friend bought me that KLS lipgloss bracelet. IT IS SOOOO GAWDY LOOKING!!! I NEVER WEAR IT BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE MR. T JEWELRY!!! Honestly she sells clothing that she herself would never wear (unless it’s a plain BabyPhat tee and jeans). Take a lesson from Gwen Stefani and make quality items Kimora!!

  25. John

    I love those well toned legs!! Girl is FINE

  26. SheKnowsWhatSheIsDoing

    She didn’t get rich being stupid. She is probably doing with Tommy & the rest of the designers do. Macy’s probably just don’t want to pay her. Go for it Kimora do your thing.

  27. HoTcAt

    SMH at the Idjuts tryin’ to get people to visit that doggone meet rich site. Game over, already . . .

  28. mzlynbkny

    I think her perfume smells cheap……….It smells like something from Avon. And as for her clothing line I think its immature……I don’t like clothes that have big logos on them I think it takes away from the look!!!!!!

  29. Downtown

    Kimora you really need to get at me in let me bless you with a son

  30. Lik_Wid_Cherry

    Kimora is a genius with the fashion business, I’ll give her that but she’s a bitch. She’s has an awful attitude and she’s passing it on to her children. As far as I’m concerned, Macy’s should sue her ass, I won’t put it pass her that the make-up was cheap as hell.

  31. jo

    Does’nt surprise me Kimora would do that. But half the stuff in stores is not worth what they charge. @Lik Wid Cherry I agree. Her kids r fresh. I stay SMH when I watch Kimora’s show. But they get it from they momma.


  32. why are African Americans always hatin on Kimora? is it because she is half-Asian? if this was James Brown, y’all will unite against Macys even though James Brown is a pervert who nurtured bastard children with money-groping white women.

    Kimora is a smart business woman who have worked her way up the corporate ladder so at least give her some credit. She’s not the first CEO to have marketing inadequacies and she definitely won’t be the last.

    Y’all haters can go collect your food stamps while she basks in the luxury of her success.

  33. nocheapshytforme

    I wonder if that outfit and shoes she have on are Baby Phat? Hell naw….She thinks we as black woman are stupid to buy that cheap shit she makes that is on the same line as Lerner’s???? She done lost her damn mind…All she wears in Italian and European designers.

  34. nocheapshytforme

    @Hollywood BS

    We aren’t hating on Kimora just the cheap shit she makes. PS maybe you need to continue to collect your food stamps dear…..

  35. Tealeaf

    Not shocked, I wonder will blood diamond or Ole man Simmons come to the rescue

  36. Bahama Mama

    Some of yall seem to be forgetting that she came into this game as a model NOT a bussiness woman….

  37. Bronx Brawler

    What chik still wears Baby Phat?

  38. karma

    I don’t rock baby phat but i do like KLS and I watch her show life in the Fab lane. She is a ghetto diva with her five chins on her neck

  39. Tealeaf

    She has the money, so why doesn’t she get her neck fixed, maybe the fat can be sucked out. Iam surprised a woman so concerned about looks would let her neck continue to look like that.

  40. karma

    She once said she could squeeze into a size two all i could do was look at the pack of franks on her neck as she said it.. like really. Ever hear of Turtle Necks..

  41. Z Phi Til I Die

    As far as her show goes, I couldn’t be her assistant or look after those children. As cute as they are, their little attitudes are horrible. I LMAO @ little Aoki. She’s too cute. But I don’t give a damn how much money you are worth, she is so rude to her employees.


  42. @Lady K

    You are so right

  43. Victoria

    I love Kimora and her show is off the hook…but her clothes-jewelry are awful. I love designer hand bags so I thought why not but one of hers but as previously stated the fabric was cheap and the gold..I found in a day rusted..so she needs to put some quality in her line and I’m sure the community will support her.

  44. Ass wholes aka modern day negros

    First of alL MAC is garbage ass makeup too! . Yall house negros never learn. Fucking brainwashed. SMDH. Kimoras line is the same quality as any other over priced dept store brand. Her baby phat clothes are bad but her KLS shit is quality including the clothes. Up grade bitches

  45. Old

    Her shit is old it’s time to take it to another level. Why they all take picture of there back side

  46. Well Well Well

    Most of yall stupid asses never tried her cosmetics and you’re calling it subpar. Why ? because she is not white??? She made the whole line for women of color and not one of yall complaining ass bitches bought it. So shut the fuck up and keep buying that cheap ass mac and that cheap ass mary kay . Kimoras items are cheaper in price then all of those brands, yet yall run to them because some white lady told yall it was hot. I really fucking hate you backwards ass niggas. So stupid to know that your stupid and self hating .

  47. jay

    I dont know about the cosmetics, but Kimora could get it FOR REAL!


  48. Great legs!! But if da story is true, hmmm, not good…


  49. okay. I know I’m late but why is Russell Simmons called Blood Diamond?

  50. Not!

    Kimora needs to upgrade Baby Phat because when you see people with it on you automatically think..well, cheap.

    She needs to provide stylish gear that the women want not all that gaudy logo drippin’, tacky stuff she has out there that she would not and does not wear.


  51. WOW SHE GROWIN A BUTT NOW?

    AMISTAD MUST BE HITTIN DAT RIGHT

    http://WWW.MYSPACE.COM/THAGRINDAHOLIC

    NEW TRACK UP “SMOKED OUT”

  52. NubianGoddez

    SMH she is a mess.

  53. ewok

    her clothes are trash. she was just lucky to have been molested by russell simmons at a young age and came up….seriously.

  54. RU$$

    Kimora is fine as Hell,

    she & Macy’s will settle.

  55. memchee

    that’s not good business sense.

  56. Just Sit And Be Pretty

    Beauty products?!?!?! WTH, I also knew about her ass ugly line of clothing.

  57. Just Sit And Be Pretty

    oops, I meant, I only…

  58. tracy

    why do I have this strange, yet very STRONG feeling that all the posters defending Kimora are her GAY ass assistants-slash- passive ass kissers on her reality show?

    I can just picture BJ Coleman’s queer ass, or the fat white dude eating a sandwich at his lap top! Or even that skinny gay dude who was drawing bitch ass pictures for Ming and Aoki’s fashion “mess”

    ewww

  59. adrianna

    Please who wear

  60. adrianna

    Please who even buy Baby Phat??? I know I don’t..plus I’ve seen her show and she’s a bitch ….not cute ..


  61. @ Karma and Tealeaf

    You guys are so foolish for insulting Kimora’s neck. Can you show me any perfect human being? you guys are hypocrites. If she had surgery, you guys will still criticize her. Talking about imperfections, what about your nappy hairs? Do you think Kimora has nappy hair? don’t fool yourself haters.

  62. Sterling Black

    Bitch or not, i’ll bet she’d show a nigga a wild time in the sack. Damn, that bitch got ass.

  63. Bella

    I love Kimora, she’s fierce, fearless and fabulous.


  64. anyway, i love kimora.Hut she hide profile from Richromances.com. Too bad@


  65. YOU richromances.com DUMBASS, STOP SHAMELESSLY ADVERTISING YOUR JACKED-UP SITE HERE, U FOOL!

  66. B.

    OH BTW WHENEVER YOU WATCH ThiS SH0W MAKE SURE T0 L00K AT HER NECK …..

    iTS DiSGUSTiNG…. I ALWAYS CATCH MYSELF STARiNG AT iT WHEN iM WATCHiNG HER ON TV.

  67. Fukem

    All African Americans do NOT hate on Kimora H’wood BS!

    I don’t wear Baby Phat cause it’s ghetto fab but I love Kimora’s confidence; so get ur shit straight or STFU!!!


  68. @B.

    you nappy-headed ho. Stop hatin, are you perfect? Kimora has a neck, so what? you have nappy hair but Kimora doesn’t. Has she insulted your nappy hair? Go collect your food stamps while Kimora sails on her yacht into the laps of luxury. Freakin’ crackheads.

  69. Moonchild

    @hollywoodBullshyt

    WTF???? The fact that you’re attemting to snap on sistahs by saying we have nappyhair lets me know your chink ass got issues. Fall back trick, it really isn’t that serious, feel me? That nappy hair shyt is played, but good try. SMH at your silly azz

  70. Mrs

    She looks good great legs and perfect butt. Make up makes her face look harder then it is but over all 9/10

  71. mike

    Perfect butt? That bitch is an ironing board, you have never seen pictures of her in a bathing suit. Uugh!!! She is the wackest bitch out there, crazy overrated. And for the record I haven’t seen no African Americans hate on this fake ass chinese bitch, ever. I don’t see how she ever got a pass, and I’m Puerto Rican. She never mentions her Asian side. Russell was wack for that. I’m 40 years old, and I still feel Russell was supposed to put a straight Black American female on from the begining. They both gay. Being born and raised in New York, it never did feel right seeing her conquer the world of Hip Hop, for real.

  72. S

    those legs… wow

  73. ATX QUEEN

    Not hating on Kimora – but I’m with Mike – there are pics of Kimora in a bikini on the beach and her ass is straight out of Vouge magazine – F.L.A.T. as hell. That pic up top is either photo-shopped or she has some butt-paddings underneath that dress.

    I’m not a fan of Baby Phat clothing, but Kimora is definitely entertaining to watch….

  74. Mrs

    Mike why you sooooooo angry- relax

  75. Mrs

    Well I’m only commenting on the above and she looks good

  76. ThatTouchOfPink

    OMG . . .if I had her body!

    Gee Whiz . . .let me go get on the frickin stair master right now. . .

  77. Lik_Wid_Cherry

    HOLLYWOOD BS

    why are African Americans always hatin on Kimora? is it because she is half-Asian? if this was James Brown, y’all will unite against Macys even though James Brown is a pervert who nurtured bastard children with money-groping white women.

    Kimora is a smart business woman who have worked her way up the corporate ladder so at least give her some credit. She’s not the first CEO to have marketing inadequacies and she definitely won’t be the last.

    Y’all haters can go collect your food stamps while she basks in the luxury of her success.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Nobody’s hating on Kimora because she’s half-black. I could care less. She has a superficial(sp?) attitude and her kids are disrepectful as hell, period. I’m sure the first thing that might pop in your head is that we don’t know her but whatever we did pick up is off of her show that is about her life, so we know her to a certain extent and she comes off as a bitch. And its not food stamps anymore, its the BridgeCard baby, yeah!!!!

  78. justthetruth

    Why am I not surprised, her and tacky Tina….I never have worn Baby Phat, it’s always been ghetto, and NEVER fabulous. One way to tell if a clothing line sucks….the designer never wears it out in public. She knows she just trying to profit a dollar off of broke people struggling to buy the clothes and they know they can’t afford it, trying to make believe like they got money…You are broke if you are wearing Baby Phat…Know This!!!!

  79. MaryKatherine

    OK….someone please enlighten me, if this is what our society calls beautiful, then I am absolutely breathtaking beautiful !

    Kimona Lee Simmon has that flat face look with the big flat nose. She looks like a monkey. I am thinking that she is really a he ? take a look at his neck !

    I dunno

  80. jojo

    Mike you must be the guy who took those Oscar De La Hoya pictures. The woman has kids whos names are Asian. You have some nerve talking about the woman in that manner and for you who is 40 and on this blog thats proof that you are a bitter loser who may not be popular with the ladies, go ahead and jack off to your Ricky Martin CD corver and find a woman.

  81. Yes its me

    I don’t get how people that ultimatley come form nothing an be soo heartless and such an ungrateful ass woman liek everyone owse HER. for one her products are sooo overpriced it’s ridiculous and for waht…cheap material. I love the styles and all but be true. Not to mention someone from my Home state Missouri she is from ST louis, Mo Let me see does she even have a store there? Any kind words for her own hometown. People tend to always lose sight of where the hell they came form. it’s fine to make it big but don’t lose sight of SELF liek many to the the industry. Keep it real! Kimora needs to really slow or tone down the super super super diva act, she’s not all that for real. The way she acts shows no real concern for anyone else’s feelings and the way she keeps her kids in adult situations…wow..I don’ get it.
