Rachel Roy filed for divorce from her husband Damon Dash. I wonder if he tied himself into that crazy deal he brokered for her clothing line that was supposed to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars???? If he didn’t and he fought for a piece of it, would he be wrong?
Roc-A-Fella Records and Rocawear co-founder Damon Dash has been slapped with divorce papers by wife Rachel Roy. The stunning fashion designer piled onto Dash’s already sizable stack of lawsuits when she filed for divorce from her husband of four years this month in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Ed Hayes, a lawyer for Roy, declined comment, and a Dash spokeswoman did not return calls or e-mails. An electronic record of the case says the divorce is for “nonmonetary relief” and should be resolved by February.
Dash and Roy, who put her own name on a women’s fashion line, got hitched in Mexico in January 2005. They met when Roy was working at Rocawear and have two daughters.
The breakup is the latest legal mess for the has-been hip-hop titan, whose empire – which he once pegged at “about $50 million” in a New York magazine profile – has crumbled under massive debt, bad business deals and one suit after another.
Dash, who in 2005 sold his stake in Rocawear to Jay-Z for $20 million, owes $2 million in state taxes, and a bank has started foreclosure proceedings on his two Tribeca condos.
A Manhattan judge even ordered the city to seize his luxury Chevrolet Tahoe SUV last year when he couldn’t make the $714.99 monthly payment. He’s also being sued by law firms and landlords for not paying his bills.
The fall has been a spectacular one for Dash, who sipped Champagne on a yacht in Jay-Z’s video for “Big Pimpin’” – then emptied his bottle of bubbly onto bikini-clad beauties in a hot tub.
“He’s broke, he’s got nothing left,” a source said.

Damon seems like such a jerk, he had money so she could deal with him, now he aint got none, BYE
Whatever, if she loved him she’s suppose to stand by him. Marriage is not perfect but Rachel show her true color. She doesn’t have Damon’s back at all. I believed in him and know he will rise above the obstacles life throwing at him. She’ll be wanting him back and my advice to him….more money doesn’t necessary means more problems…more observation is needed in learning one’s mistakes in life…and don’t take Rachel back when you get back to the top!
I think that marriage means you deal with more and you endure more, you work harder and your supposed to stick thru good times and bad times. People get married these days for the wrong reasons. Marriage is supposed to be a lifelong thing.
