(AllHipHop News) DMX’s wife Tashera Simmons has officially separated from the chart-topping rapper and is planning a reality show focusing on her rebuilding their family without him.
According to Simmons, the reality show is titled Tashera Simmons….Life After X and will give a firsthand account of how their family is coping with the rapper’s legal and drug problems and how they “cope with a husband and a father that has let them down over and over again.”
Additionally, Simmons is penning a tell-all memoir titled Tashera Simmons…Strength of A Woman, with author Aliya S. King.
"It’s not a tell-all, I want to clear that up. It’s a memoir, it’s a story about our life, my life, and our life together,” Simmons told AllHipHop.com in a press release announcing the reality show.
“My side of the story, because I feel like in his book, he didn’t really get into detail to better explain it,” Tashera Simmons stated. “I think reading my book, it explains everything. I’m talking about everything, from my childhood when I was abandoned by my mother and left to take care of my siblings, to when me and Earl (DMX) first met at 11 and we got together at 18 and I’m starting from there until then on…It’s a positive tell all."
According to Tashera, the reality show is being shopping to several networks, who are vying to pick up the show.
Tashera Simmons and the Simmons family was featured on the hit BET reality series, DMX: Soul of A Man.
The reality series chronicled DMX’s career in 2006, during the months leading up to one of several jail stints over the past 10 years, the most recent being from March 2010 until July 2010, for violating terms of his previous probation.
The rapper tested positive for cocaine.
The reality series is currently in negations with several networks to have the show picked up.
Tashera Simmons recently launched a foundation called Women of Strength, a foundation dedicated to supporting drug abuse, abandonment and other issues.
Foxy Brown got arrested today for violating a protective order her neighbor has against her according to TMZ.
Law enforcement took Fox Boogie into custody around 6pm after Foxy verbally engaged the neighbor which violated the protective order against her..
But according to Foxy's manager, Bernadette Brennan the whole thing started when Foxy was rehearsing outside for her upcoming show at the B.B. King Blues Club in New York.
The neighbor didn't like the noise, got aggravated and eventually started yelling in the rappers' face.
To avoid further confrontation Brennan say Foxy went inside, which is when the cops go there and arrested her.
There's nothing worse than a neighbor you can't get along with. Sounds like Foxy might want to move.

Whoopi Goldberg, one of the hosts of ABC's popular daytime talk show The View was lit up like a Christmas tree Monday (July 19).

“It’s a dedication to the ladies who take pride in being the flyest and finest that there are out there to be noticed,” T.I. told MTV News on the set of the sleek clip, which reflects the song’s sultry vibe. The video features Drizzy, Tip and Swizz in all-black everything, spitting suave lyrics and flanked by leggy dancers in formfitting bodysuits.
In his cool Atlanta drawl, T.I. chatted about participating in the collabo and sang the praises of Drake and Swizzy. “I was offered the opportunity and given the pleasure to be a part of this monstrosity of a record by young Drizzy and my big homie O.G., player, partner Swizz Bizzy,” Tip said. “I’m honored, privileged and absolutely pleased to be a part of this extravaganza that you are witnessing before you here today.”
Anthony Mandler, who has helmed all the clips from Drizzy’s Thank Me Later, said the singer/MC’s approach to his work influences how the director develops the accompanying visuals. “For me, there’s a lot of pressure, because I feel like he’s creating music from a place that’s so pure and so unique and so original that it pushes me to try to create imagery that stands in the same zone,” Mandler said.
Drake also lavished Mandler with respect and said his work with the director has changed his perspective when it comes to making videos. “As far as me evolving as a visual artist, I started in a place where visuals weren’t my strongest aspect. Me and Anthony shot ‘Over’ together, and for the first time, I really felt like, ‘This is how I’m supposed to look,’ ” Drake said. “From there, it’s sorta been like an inseparable bond.”
Couple of pictures from "Miss Me" set. Drake and Weezy brought out the green screen for the next visual off Thank Me Later. Wayne did his part before going in. Then Drake wrapped the rest of the Miss Me video in Atlanta with the rest of the Young Money crew. The official video dropping soon.

A New York City police officer is in hot water over the major mishandling of a minor accident.
Officer Louis Ramos of the 84th Precinct was arrested and suspended Tuesday after being charged with leaving the scene of an accident and reckless driving.
The arrest follows a June 14 incident in which Ramos and his partner ran into a cyclist with their patrol car.
According to the Daily News, Ramos and fellow officer Paris Anderson were driving against traffic when they neared the intersection of Sands and Jay Streets in Brooklyn and struck the unnamed bicyclist.
The biker was launched forward over his handlebars.
He suffered a broken hand, cuts and bruises.
Ramos, a 19-year veteran, and Anderson, a six-year veteran, can be seen on surveillance video pulling the rider onto the sidewalk and giving him tissues to clean the cuts and abrasions on his face, arms and legs.
They then returned to their vehicle and left the scene.
The Daily News reported that Anderson and Ramos said they thought the man just fell off his bicycle after being startled by the patrol car's lights and sirens, but it was unclear what the officers were responding to.
The Brooklyn District Attorney's office has charged Ramos with assault, leaving the scene of an accident with injury and reckless driving
"Teflon Don" was mob boss John Gotti's nickname. Now it's the name of Miami rapper Rick Ross' new album.
And Gotti's grandson's got a bone to pick.
The Miami rapper should have gotten the okay from his family first, Carmine Agnello, 24, told the Daily News Tuesday.
"My grandfather paid his dues for that nickname. That was my grandfather's life," Agnello said.
John Gotti was dubbed the "Teflon Don" after winning acquittal after acquittal in the 1980s. He was finally convicted of murder and racketeering in 1992.
"He should have asked for permission. A standup, respectable guy would come and ask 'If I could use the nickname,'" Agnello, who is trying to launch a music career under the name Carmine Gotti, said of Ross. "I think he's a great artist, but you can't just start calling yourself that to sell records ...He wants to go for that whole image, but hey, be yourself."
Then he took another swipe at the 34-year-old, whose real name is William Leonard Roberts.
"Only in America can you go from being a corrections officer to calling yourself Teflon Don," Agnello said, noting Ross' former career.
The choice of "Rick Ross" for his stage name also has gotten him in trouble.
Ross is being sued by ex-druglord Ricky (Freeway) Ross for using his name in a copyright infringement lawsuit.
Ross' fascination with the mob didn't start with the album he released Tuesday. His latest mixtapes, also released this year, were called "The Albert Anastasia EP" and "Carlo Gambino." Both Anastasia and Gambino also were mob bosses.
