SPLITSVILLE UPDATE: Slimm Speaks About The Breakup With Vivica A. Fox

Aug 12 | by _YBF

One of your fave cougar and cub couples has officially gone their separate ways. Vivica A. Fox and her ripped club promoter beau Slimm are no more. And Slimm has something to say about it. Read on for deets...

Slimm reached out and let us know that he is now single.

Here's what he had to say:

Unfortunately, me and Vivica are no longer dating. After 8 months it's time to go our separate ways. In life you can love and have chemistry with a person but Flaws can sometimes outweigh the relationship. I wish her the best and I know she feels the same.

When we asked what happened, he told us that "sometimes relationships just don't work out."

No, it's not as heartbreaking as Bobby and Whitney breaking up (don't act like you weren't hurt when the ish hit that fan), but I liked these two together. Vivica let the world see that YBF cougars can pull a hot dude at any age. And I guess Vivica is back on the prowl. Wonder who she snags next...

*UPDATE* After Slimm reached out to us yesterday, he clearly had some second thoughts. He later sent us this statement:

I want to clear the air about the rushed statement released yesterday about
Vivica and I breaking up.

Sometimes a person may act out of anger and I apologize for my "flaw" of
overreacting instead of letting time take its course.

We have all been involved in a serious relationship resulting with making
fast and unplanned decisions.

So, of course, no one is perfect.

Beyond a doubt I understand how to treat people you love. Vivica is an
important part of my life and I would never try to hurt her.
Thanks for supporting us as we figure things out.

So sounds like the breakup is not really a breakup. Maybe they are taking a "break." I wish them the best. They look great together.

It seems like his intentions are good. I hope he has learned his lesson to keep his business private and not go jump the gun before the dust settles. Relationships are hard enough without putting everyone in it. I wish them the best.

You can't say that she shouldn't--or that women shouldn't date younger men. At least he handled the situation with tact and didn't disrespect her. I've dated men my age and older, hoping that they were mature and some of them were the biggest assholes and crybabies ever. There is no age limit on maturity.

Come on, party promoting is a

Come on, party promoting is a decent living. A friend of mine started that lkind of business in college and he STILL does it today. He tried the 9-5 but made way more money with the party promoting, espcially if you are good at it.

As to Vivica, I don't know. I remember when Vivica first came on the scene. She was on a sitcom with Patti Labelle and Morris Chestnut. YOu thight she would be married with 3-4 kids by now.

After she married rapper 69, I said to myself, it is all downhill from here. I was right.

Honestly, Vivica needs to

Honestly, Vivica needs to grow up and stop playing with these kids.She's a grown ass woman and I know the whole cougar thing is in, but somebody needs to be an adult and be able to separate "play" from a real relationship. It's time she dress more appropriately and live her life as such. A 20 something year old club promoter IS NOT looking for anything serious, they're simply playing. So to expect something more is foolish of anyone.

We could care less about you and Vivica breaking up. You used her (for fame). She used you (for d**k) and now yall are even. Please don't release another statement with you irrelevant ass!
