It takes a very strong woman to put up with the kind of mess Tashera Simmons had to put up with from her husband DMX.

Tashera is the very definition of loyalty. HipHopWired.Com is reporting that even though the book titled Tashera Simmons…Strength of A Woman is described as a “positive tell-all” chronicling her life with X and the family they raised together… she never knew that X had a family all his own …. times four.

She knew about one child outside their marriage because it was a case that was blasted in the media after DMX was sued for claiming the woman raped him.

Tashera chose to stay but when the others came out she couldn’t take it no longer!

She told VIBE:

“He had four other children out of our marriage and I didn’t know. I only found out about one, and it was the one in Maryland that was public. It was all over the news and I still was gonna try to make it work [but] after we did the show Soul of a Man, I guess the women felt some kind of way because he was doing a lot of paying child support behind my back and giving them money without me knowing anything. So once he came out in interviews saying this is my only daughter and this is my family I guess they started feeling some kind of way and they started sending lawyers and all these child support suits to my house and that wasn’t acceptable. I just felt like with the drugs, that in itself is mentally draining. I felt like since we’ve been together for so long I didn’t want to give up on him.”

Can you blame her for leaving?
