NEWS BIT: DAMON DASH SERVED DIVORCE PAPERS FROM RACHEL ROY

Wednesday, March 25, 2009

According to reports, music mogul DAMON DASH has been handed divorce papers from his wife, fashion designer RACHEL ROY. Roy filed a divorce suit in New York’s Manhattan Supreme Court earlier this month, signaling the end of her marriage to the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder, who she married in Mexico in January 2005.

And it seems Roy, who launched her own women’s fashion line with her husband’s backing, is aware of the hip-hop executive’s financial woes as the divorce is for “non monetary relief”, according to an electronic record of the case obtained by the New York Daily News.

The publication reports that Dash is facing foreclosure on his two Tribeca, New York properties and owes $2 million in state taxes. A judge also ordered Manhattan officials to seize his car last year after he failed to make his monthly payments. And Dash’s troubles don’t end there - he is also being sued by various law firms and landlords over allegedly unpaid bills. DAMN DAME!!

The couple have two children together, Ava Dash and Talullah Ruth (born May 13th, 2008). Both pictured with parents above.

# 6. I dont know how known Rachel was before she married him, but im sure she used his status somewhat to her advantage. Maybe I shouldn’t have worded it like that, but both women were married to famous men and with that came some advantage. Im not saying thats the reason they divorced, but he ran out of money hence become no use to her . Kimora got alot of money and RS became no use to her.lol

This guy was so….”SELF- FILLED”. I remember when he was on TOP; The BET show and all. Totally arrogant! I don’t feel sorry for him one bit. You see, the problem that I have with brothers is- “They just don’t stick to the rivers and waters they are use to” when they make it BIG. Damon and so…many brothers get with women of other nationalities for all the WRONG reasons and these women deserve love too. Perhaps this sista knew it was NEVER love; It was all about his on SELF IMAGE. These Brothas use these women for Status and they no it. Please! Forget him! These brothers need to love the same kind that loved their @$$e$ when they were on the bottom.

@ #16 To make a long story short. When they (Jay and Dame) were at the Roc. Dame pretty did majority of the business desicions so it got to a point that Jay wanted to take conrol over his of business decions. We all know there can only be one Chief but it was alot of other stuff too it just got ulgy when the split came about.

OMG, I think people get married for the wrong reasons…what ever happened to ’til death do we part? ‘Non-monetary relief”!?! That’s just crazy. Hang in there Dame, just get a great Financial Advisor and prioritize and it’ll be ok. Keep taking care of your children and God will work it out. I know baby girl Aaliyah was the only one for you!

@ CNN WANNABE…well said and I agree and I used to be like damn Dame too but now I’m inclined to believe Dame did dirt and all this is his Karma. I mean no one luck could be that bad, he lost Rocafella and all the money gone, loosing friends, houses cars and now his wife….everyone knows how arrogant he was and seemed he was hard to deal with and treated people nasty and I’m sure he looked down on alot of people aswell…I mean I don’t know him personally but you usually get back the energy you give out and well look at him shit is crumbling left and right. God Bless him though

LOL…He’s getting exactly what he deserved a woman like Rachel Roy wouldn’t have even looked at his dumby milk dud looking behide if it weren’t for the fact that he had some money…now that he’s broke she’s leaving…Congratulations to Rachel…she needs to go down in the Gold Digger Hall of Fame…she has 2 beautiful children and a sucessful clothing company…that’s how you do it…4 years worth of work paid off good for her and she’ll probably have another rich man to replace him before the year is up…get you a piece whore…that’s how you do it.

Lil Mama C4,

Thanks a lot. I’m just keeping it real when it comes to dude. I remember hating his character. I don’t feel sorry for the fool at all. And like I said, a lot of these women of other ethnics are pretty and realize they are just experiments to show off. Can you imagine how equally used they may feel? Can you imagine how they ask themselves in the the back of their minds…”How could they just ditch strong black females who have stood the times with them? How could they not love their own image”? Those woman know, if you can’t love whom you come from, you can’t love me (them). There are beautiful woman in ALL races; trust. And..the black woman is beautiful too but, what we don’t feel the need to do is try other races with our successess as if people are projects and games to play with as we try and look like we’ve arrived. If it’s real love then I support mix couples, but I don’t support stupid brothas that do it for image and power statements. If they were the $h!+, they would have had these so call “Dime pieces” while at the BOTTOM.

29.

Wednesday, March 25, 2009 /

OMG! PLEASE LET’S NOT GET STARTED ON THE INTERACIAL RELATIONSHIP SHAT!

It comes down to this if a Black man dates Black women all his life and then gets rich and switches to another team…that’s not the type of Black man that we as Black women should want anyway…I say good riddance…screw em…if they are that shallow….so it amazes when Sistas get so upset…a Black dude stupid enough to marry because of skin color is not the Black dude that you should want anyway….and the same applies to us when we do the same thing…so let’s just let that go.

You are absolutely correct, “He (they) is not the kind of man we should want to be with”. However, I’m going to have my opinion about it- just like you had to share your opinion about my shared thoughts. Don’t tell me how I should respond. You need to stay in the “Lady” Box as I stay in the “CNN Wannabe” bpx. Stay out of my box! You gone have me acting like the “Train character” in the movie “Ghost”. “GET OFF THE TRAIN….!!!!!, GET OFF THE TRAIN!!!!” Had “Patrick” running scared and he was already dead. “Get off my box….!!!” (Laugh girl, I’m just having fun.)

DAMN! How some of yall claiming Rachel is the GOLD DIGGER and she leaving him when he is down?? Are you in their bed at night????? The sad part is the ones who are calling her a gold digger are WOMEN themselves! You would HATE for someone to use that term towards you. I have friends in the industry and from what I have heard Damon is not the NICEST person to deal with so she has probably had a lot of crap she has been dealing with. As far as a sista would have had her back that is the problem NOW!! Domestic violence is such a MAJOR problem in our community because “sistas have their mans backs” and don’t get out !!.I live in DC and I promise you a man is killing his wife/girflriend and or children here every day…Some of ya’ll should be ashamed—smh—

First of all I can never understand why in the HELL do celebs take out loans on INVALUABLE shit like AUTOMOBILES, when they supposedly have the money to just pay all the shit up front? Whats the point? Why are you making a monthly payment on a CAR?

Z–Do you live in DC or watch the news about DC? If you did you would see domestic violence is no joke with the Black community. It was that way when I lived in Atlanta too–several young Black females murdered by their “boyfriends” who friends had asked them to leave and they didn’t..

Here is one story where the man murdered his girlfriend–the mother of his child..They had a history of domestic abuse–and yes they RECONCILED several times before this happened
http://www.gazette.net/st...fortnew185413_32497.shtml

here’s another one where a man stabbed his girlfriend and two sons to death
http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0309/606624.html

These women were both young Black females involved in domestic abusive relationships..Those are just two I’m posting but unfortunately there are many more

Seriously I’m upset people are dissing this woman because she’s filling for divorce, maybe she’s just not divorcing Dash because he’s broke, maybe he’s a jack ass; has that ever occurred to people.

Plus Roy has a sustaining fashion business, she works and provides for herself, why have if fucked up by a man that doesn’t know how to take care of his money.

I know we all are going through rough times, but Dame Dash is one of the founders of Rocafella, all that income that was coming in his years of working, he should not be broke in the least. How he chose to use his money is what probably fucked him over.

I never understood what it was Dame was good at other than running his mouth, dancing in the videos and pouring liquor on chicks? Is he a good business man? Can he rap? What does this clown do? Dame holla at your boy Jimmy and tell him to let you hold something fam. In the words of Jay-”if you really put me on put yourself on then”….take some notes Dame, class been in session.

Z–It looks like I am being blocked when I try to post links on here but you can google Washington DC man murdered girlfriend and sadly I’m sure will come up with lots of links.

One case a man murdered his 24 year old girlfriend who was the mother of his 8 month old child. She was only 24 and they had a long history of domestic violence

Another case a mother and her two sons were murdered by her boyfriend and they also had a long history of domestic violence with family members trying to get her to leave him.

Both of these young women were Black females. There are unfortunately many other sad stories out there.

Rachel Roy married Dame Dash for money. She didn’t mind being arm candy for money because her fashion line wasn’t and isn’t making any money. If she didn’t wanted to marry Dash she could have said no to him.

I think Dash had alot of debt before he decided to marry Rachel. He figured by marrying arm candy that he would get alot of publicity for his projects and business people would be clamoring to invest in his projects.

I think both got what they deserved.

And you know what men like Damon Dash are disgusting because I am sure when he was getting Rocafella off the ground there had to have been a girl from around the way that was down for him (because 9 times out 10) there always is…but he didn’t think about that once the money started coming in…God Bless Alliyah’s soul…but she was probably too good for him…men like Dash treat women like status symbols…like cars and watches to be shown off or paraded around and then when they get got…they want somebody to feel sorry for their dumb asses….well whatever I don’t.

Is this a surprise? Rachel is trying to move in the high fashion/Anna Wintour circles. Dame could move in those circles with Rachel at his side as long as he had some money to smooth his thug-roughened edges, but now that he’s broke? He’s a liability to Rachel’s ability to make money b/c she can’t be a fashion designer whose image is of clean, crisp luxury, and be broke.

Rachel was married before to a NBA player back in the 90’s. He played for New Jersey. An african named Yinke or something like that. He died a few years ago of a heart attack, but that was after Rachel divorced him. Rachel was the woman who Dame kicked to the curb when he met Alliyah. When she died, he went back to Rachel. I wish them both the best.

Personally, I don’t care how much money a man has. If I’m not happy, if there’s a lack of support, or even if you’re an inconsiderate jackass: You couldn’t pay me to stay in a relationship. I don’t know the exact details but, Dame’s been irresponsible with his money ( anybody remember his shoe called “CEO’s”…yeah didn’t think so). This woman has kids and if their father is out making dumb ass money decisions why should she have to stay and put her and her girls through it?

Damn some of you guys are vapid

I dont think this has anything to do with Gold digging….I thought so at first but this is a chess move. If damon Dash is about to take a hit He’s not wanting His old lady’s assets to be affected by this so Im thinking that he’ll get the divorce, still kick it with his wife and put any of his successful business in her name. Or some to that affect. So what when he files for bankruptcy they’ll only cease his diminishing assets.

Wednesday, March 25, 2009 /

Honestly, is anyone really suprised at this news? I have a bit of respect for Damon Dash as a business man; but he never struck me as the type that would make a good husband or boyfriend. Even when he was dating Aaliyah (R.I.P.) back in the day, there were rumors that he was stepping out on her. Nobody likes to see a marriage end in divorce, but this one didn’t shock me.

Have yall ever thought that maybe she’s divorcing himto save her own assests?!?!?! This is the only way her money won’t be collected in all the lawsuits and seizures he has going on. I’m sure it would be a good strategy to protect at least half of their collective assests from being seized. Rich folks do it all the time when they run into isues like this. They might be having marital issues, but I’m not sure if she’s just “leaving him because he’s broke”…….I mean she’ll prolly help him out a little, he is her baby daddy!!! LOL!!!!!!

Real talk!!!
