Aaaaaaand they're off!  The "ladies" of VH1's "Love & Hip Hop" are already off to the races....and by races we mean hard core fight nights while filming takes place.

We got a tip today from a show insider that details how Chrissy and newcomer (Julez' Santana's baby mama) Kimbella are already at each other's throats.  And why do we believe it? Because we ALSO heard from a VERY credible source similar details...involving Chrissy punching Kimbella out!  Deets inside....

So a couple months ago, around Memorial Day weekend, we got word from a pretty credible source that production was shut down the first few days of filming (it had just started after Memorial Day).  And apparently it was all because video vixen and rumored industry jump-off Kimbella caught a fist to the face....a fist that belonged to Chrissy!

Today, we got this tip detailing why they're beefing and what went down.  And, of course, it's all over Kimbella getting it in with Fabolous 3 years ago.  Yes, while Fab was with Emily B.  Shocker.  Here's the craziness we were sent:

I’m closely related to the show and currently working on the show and would like to remain anonymous, I was there that night filming when a fight broke out on the set of the VH1 show, Love & Hip-Hop.

That night of Emily’s party celebrating her new independence from her ex boyfriend rapper Fabolous, new cast member and Juelz Santana girlfriend Kim told Emily that she used to talk to Fabolous over 3 years ago. She explained that this was before she met Juelz and that Juelz knows everything as well.

Kim told her this in front of all of the girls because she didn’t want it to come out at a later time and was just starting friendships with some of the girls on the show. Emily said she kind of knew and was going to ask her about it, but Emily thanked her for telling her and said she’s moved on and is in a much positive space now and that she didn’t have a problem with her and was cool with it.

But, Chrissy (Jim Jones' girlfriend) intervened saying that it was going to get ugly now and Kim and even Emily questioned why would it. Chrissy kept mouthing off about Kim and when Kim didn’t back down and argued back, Chrissy didn’t like that.

Chrissy said “I’m going outside to get some air” and when she walked towards the door past Kim, she unexpectedly sucka punched Kim in the face out of nowhere.

Emily didn’t jump in and had absolutely nothing to do with the argument.

You will see when the show airs that the situation happened exactly like this. I was at this event and saw it all unfold.

Personally, I think Chrissy is responsible for passing around this story trying to deflect her own sketchy past. She has a history of being with rappers and ball players herself like Jay Z (who mentions her name in one of his songs on Reasonable Doubt), P Diddy, Max B. (one of Jim’s old associates), and basketball players Allen Iverson and Dominique Wilson to name a few. Everyone in NY, well at least Harlem knows her past as a notorious groupie. She was dead wrong for what she did and didn’t even try to have a fair fight.

Lawd Jesus.  I actually like the show last year for the simple reason these ladies, unlike other shows, actually never threw punches.  But I see that may be changing.  Oh wells.
