EXCLUSIVE: Russell Simmons' Meltdown
Posted on Sep 14, 2009 @ 06:48PM
Usually when there's the name Ronson and a meltdown in the same sentence you expect to see Lindsay Lohan's name somewhere too, but this time it was Russell Simmons that had a fit - at Charlotte Ronson's show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, Friday.
"He flipped out over his seating," an eyewitness tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. "He thought his seat was given away and lost it on some poor staffer on the runway moments away from the show's start.

"When I walked in here, there was like 40 seats," Simmons was heard griping. "Now, there's nothing. Where am I supposed to sit?"
When the girl didn't reply promptly enough the hip-hop king, who preaches the benefit of the calming effect of his yoga prowess, angrily demanded, "Where's your boss? Where's the lady in charge? Who do I have to talk to? Come on now."
After talking to the head seater of the show, Simmons was still not pacified, and let her have it. In the midst of the tirade the staffer asked him to "please calm down" which prompted Simmons to fume "I am calm! I'm a calm person!"

Fortunately, seconds before the show started, the seater cleared two seats for Simmons, who sat down with such force he caused his neighbors to jump.
Perhaps a little more time in the yoga studio would center him better!

P.S. this is not a race issue, so to ignorant people I say "get a grip". This is a human issue ... flawless I say not to none of us. Celebrity is a fictional character being a human being is different.

I don't know, this doesn't seem like that big of deal to me compared to Kanye and Serena's antics. We didn't see this go down like we did the other 2, if he paid for the seats it's reasonable to expect them.
