Tashera Simmons turbulent relationship to rapper DMX has been well documented and she recently stopped by Forbez DVD Live to chop it up on the exact reason why she chose to file for divorce with the emcee.

Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't DMX's drug use that made Tashera file for divorce. According to Tashera herself, it was actually his infidelity.

"The day that I finally decided to do that wasn't cause of the drugs, sadly," Simmons said. "I mean, he would run all over me. Talk any kind of way. Anything, in front of the kids with the drugs. I still felt like I made an oath. That was my husband through thick and thin. I felt like that drug was a disease. So, I wasn't gonna leave him, but when he started having kids and he didn't seem remorseful. And on top of that I felt like 'Damn, you supposed to be my husband. My protector. You're having unsafe sex not once, but like seven times.' That showed me he really didn't care. He took my kindness for weakness."

In addition to the infideity, it was also DMX's violent relationship with his son that caused the divorce. According to the "You Think You Know, You Have No Idea" author, her oldest son Xavier Simmons threatened to kill his father the next time he was verbally abusive to his mother.

"The three little ones they used to be very afraid of him because all they can remember is him yelling through the house and cursing me," she said. "Xavier used to be afraid of him and that's what actually—with the combination of the kids and him telling me one day that he's gonna kill his father the next time he talks to me like that is what broke me up because I wasn't gonna do it for myself obviously. But when I saw that hate in his eyes I was like it's time for me to make a decision because I don't want my son to grow up and think that that was okay."
