DMX denies reality show appearance
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 28 April 2009
A representative for DMX has denied reports that he will star in the third series of US reality TV show ‘Celebrity Rehab with Dr Drew’.
The rap star is, of course, currently in prison after pleading guilty to a number of previously reported charges, namely theft, animal cruelty and drugs possession.
He has also been subject to further charges during his incarceration, in relation to that also previously reported incident in which the hip hopper, real name Earl Simmons, is alleged to have thrown a dinner tray at a member of staff. He was scheduled to be freed on 30 Apr, but his release date has been postponed.
Publicist Pam Pinnock said in a statement: “Several media outlets have reported that my client Earl Simmons, aka DMX has signed on to appear in VH1’s ‘Celebrity Rehab’ reality show. These reports are false and Mr Simmons has not greed to appear in any reality show. Mr. Simmons is currently serving a 90 day jail sentence at Tent City Jail in Arizona”.
She continued: “He has expressed great appreciation to the overwhelming amount of support he has received from his fans during this difficult time. He would like his fans to know that he is taking this time to focus on his personal as well as spiritual growth, and is looking forward to being released soon”.
