- Kimora Lee Simmons owned Y2K TV with 'Life in the Fab Lane,' 'House of Fab' and even a stint on 'America's Next Top Model.' Now, the entrepreneur looks back at her experiences in front of the camera and reveals to ET she's never actually watched any of her shows! The mom of five shares what it would take to make a reality TV return, possibly on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.' Plus, Kimora weighs in on the conversation surrounding 'ANTM,' which is now being called 'problematic' when processed through a 2022 lens. The Baby Phat founder sat down with ET after hosting a successful Back to School Giveaway with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, co-sponsored by her brand, Family Dollar, Dollar Tree and Crayola.

I remember years ago, when on the show, she cried when they straightened her daughters hair for the very first time.. She was so real and we loved her show.
Ikr 😅 I remember that episode
My grandma watched her show and I remember how much she loved those girls!! They were treated like royalty by her. I also remember her talking about how people think she was a man because she's big and loud lol. My grandma didn't watch a lot of reality tv but I will always have good childhood memories attached to her and the show.
God the nostalgia is real
I used to watch Kimora life in the fab lane religiously always loved me some Kimora
That is literally the moment I think of every time I think of her idk why that specific moment from the show is what sticks out in my mind
Her show was a real reality show. More like a docu-series. They never had to create or contrive many scenarios because she always had something going on
The show was a mommy in business. Such a powerful example 😇
It was really aspiring, I used to want to be like her watching how Great she was!
Lol same here!
Same here
I’ve always loved Kimora Lee Simmons. She’s one of the realist humans and best mothers on earth. I absolutely love love love her!❤❤❤
I remember her show…she really has a personality and charisma that people will be interested to watch…it wasn’t exaggerated fighting…weird confessionals…its primally work and family life…and trying to balance the two without losing yourself…I really admire her for that…she always seemed authentic and protective of her daughters
I like Kimora, I hope she goes back to tv.
Rhobh would be great for her
@@tez800 Yes I think so too.
As a kid watching her show growing up I LIVED for her and her TV show…she truly was an inspiration to me and role model i looker up to. She was a POC and strong women and as a young gay Indigenous boy I truly admired her drive and intelligence!!
Loved watching her show back then! As a son of a full time working mom who still takes good care of her children, I was still in middle school and got to reflect on how amazing (both working & stay-home) moms are! Definitely gained more respect for my mother from watching the show.
Omg please do a show!!! I miss her show!! She is funny
I don't believe she does not watch it and gives her approval before an episode is aired I just don't, she does not seem to be the type to let someone else have that power of editing her story in a certain way For public assumption, she's gonna run her own narrative and have the final say so on each episode. That's who she is that's why she is so respected and successful.
I totally agree!
I hate my voice, I can’t imagine watching myself on tv.
I can believe it because she’s a super critic of herself so if you don’t watch it you won’t dissect it so much. She has a team to be sure it’s what she wants and she’s quick to fire if it goes wrong.
A lot of people don’t watch footage from their shows
I would watch the old show if they aired it again!😭 loved it so much! But a new show would definitely make my life.
It’s on TH-cam now
Yeah so my opinion is, I don’t think the housewives would be a good option for Kimora OR her family. Specially with the recent cyber bulllying of the housewives kids these days. Kimora is way too good to be in that franchise because Andy & his producing team are known for editing clips to make certain people look good/bad for ratings. If Kimora is really not about that life, then she needs to stay far & clear from the housewives franchise. She just needs HER OWN SHOW.
I love the interviewer! She is so good and respectful and wise with her words.KUDOS!!
I LUUUURVED her reality show😭😭
She is splendid 🔥
Cheers from San Diego California
I love how she wants to inspire women positively and not be involved in mean, petty drama. What a kind soul and a role model to us all
As a gay young black man in the early 2000s Kimora Naomi and Tyra was my everything 🙌🏽 😍
She didn’t make any excuses or deflect from the actions including her own during ANTM - got to give it to her for taking accountability for her comments, something Tyra never does ! Tyra always blames the audience “. . . If you were offended”, where as Kimora took full accountability! 👍
Kimora is amazing love her she need to join the real house wife that show is where the true drama begins.
She most definitely is a reality TV legend.
I hope she puts the Kardashians to shame. I know she’s friends with them but she’s someone actually deserving of the fame
The public makes you famous, you cannot be famous if JOHN PUBLIC DONT FOLLOW YOU.SO WE HAVE ALL MADE THE KARDASHIANS FAMOUS, BY EVEN MENTIONING THERE NAMES.
They are friends, she help Khloe about the Tristan mess so keep your little haterness to yourself
She's so wise🙌🏼
She’s so gorgeous. I love her face. 😍
Did she say " I WAS a friend with Tyra"?
R they not friends now?
Yes I noticed that 👀
I was literally thinking the very same thing!
Loved her show!! Would definitely watch again.. she’s my sister in my head!
Love this woman 💞
That Barbie episode still keeps me up at night !
Icon Kim, love you so much..
The show also showed a lot of ❤️
I loved how kimmora and her girls didn’t feed into “the first black” women thing. They try and totally wipe out her Korean and Japanese heritage. She shut that down! Mad respect!
1:49 and she has opinions and is ready to produce produce outlook on our landscape 🙌
I love KIMORA. ❤️
I friggin love Kimora ❤❤❤ personality she’s so beautiful yes we need her back on tv need that realness
Really enjoyed her show wish we can have more
I love her 🫶🕊🩵🥂💄I still watch it everyday on Tubi 💕💯
Lol I love her! Always have, always will! Watched her reality TV show, died for her clothes, would beg for Baby Phat! Some of my fav pieces were made by her. I was obsessed!
Always loved Kimora, get yours girl 👍
Yesss please bring the show back!
It was a great show! ❤️
I would love to see Kimora on RHOBH. The girls are not ready for her, she would eat them alive!
Exactly!
I LOVED THAT SHOW!!!!
I do not watch reality shows to make me feel better about myself I know my worth I don’t need to watch a television show to know my work I watch it because it’s entertaining I like the people that I watch
*I loved her reality show. It was so entertaining.*
“Will you turn around and tell the people in front of Jesus you don’t wear any makeup on the set?!”
Kimora is an ICON!
I desperately want to see her on tv again.
Especially RHOBH!
Love her Life In The Fab Lane show. They had it on Tubi but they took it off today☹️
please bring back life in the fab lane--i will be a loyal viewer!!
I don't know of reality tv wants someone to actually be "real". These shows are produced, to a certain extent. If she doesn't need the show then she should not ruin her life by joining a cast.
If in reality shows the people are not real, why are they so popular, why do people take everything they say so seriously, if it's not real, WATCH A LEGIT SCRIPTED SHOW, but a lot of people watch REALITY TV, and then Complain, oh it's the PRODUCERS, HOW ITS EDITED, THE WHOLE THING FAKE. THEN DONT WATCH, MOCKING PRETENDERS.
I LOVED Kimora's show!!
As much as Kimora would SLAY housewives, they don’t deserve her!!!
Ugh is that me ???!!😂😂😂😂 she’s hilarious she should restart a reality show
Loved Kimora’s show.
Back in the day I watched Kimora and Victoria Gotti’s reality shows
Why is the reporter swimming in that old Channel suit 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So cool how she doesn't want fake fights on camera. I wish we had good, inspiring, fun TV. I don't watch Housewives, it's upsetting how rich they are and how little fun they have, at least according to the script. I can't wait to be rich and have a fun, wonderful life!
Imagine if Kimora could get Tyra to do a besties reality show with her!!
Don’t do it girl you’re above that SHIT!
She lost so much weight.. hope to see her on real housewives
i feel her on that.... idwwme
🕊️ 🕊️
I hope she doesnt join .she should just have her own show
3:10 she’s way to good for housewives
I hope you stand in if you need me too
Life in the fab lane
I would LOOOOVEEE Kimora and Kris on Housewives
Kimora rebranded baby phat so she she do a similar show to her previously
I said this last year on social media Kimora wouldn't be interested in doing reality shows with drama like housewives shows on bravo or anything pertaining to any network show with back and forth arguments because she will go off.
I used to LIVE for Life in the Fab Lane.
Her original nose was so much prettier. Now she has the old standard hollywood thing.
Kimora ❤️
I want to see kimora back on TV but sure as hell not on no housewives. No way! She is far above that mess. I would like to see her doing reality show family or maybe even some sort of fashion reality show something that doesn't involve stupid drama. Where she can just be her crazy self that we love and that be that.
01:14 woah she reminds me of Khlow Kardashian
What a stunning woman. Geeeez 🥵
Get rid of Dorit, Diana, Crystal and Sheree. I would love her energy on RHOB. Erica and Lisa wouldn't stand a chance.
Bravo would just tear her down not show the real fabulous kimora we know and love. Not worth it Kimora
watching any clips of RHOB from the last few seasons would put any person who is as sweet and lovely as her off it lol, I don't know what the producers are thinking they could possibly add to her life
What Kimora is describing is opposite of housewives. I guess she'll do it if the money is good.
She's too controlling to not watch herself on TV. I don't believe she never saw herself on TV. I liked the show, but she could have been nicer to her staff.
Before the kardashians
She needs to join the real housewives
She looks younger?!
I am a Zookeeper in Chicago and I regularly feed the Hippos day old sausages so they have a taste of their home. I put strings on the Sausages and swing them around the Hippos they get so mad at me and Scream but it's an obsession and the hippos try and Break out of their cages but I keep swinging those hotdogs in Wide Circles over their heads. Luckily my boss doesn't know HAHA 😎 😉
I have a question why isnt there wolf on a zoo????? Everr
Has she done anything didifferently
I still remember her spitting on the glazed donuts!
Nicole scherzinger looks so much like her 💖💞💕
Yea..ask kris Jenner and have her as her manager. Obviously
Kimoraaaa for rhobh
Who is she
She was a model in the 90s and fashion designer, with her line "Baby Phat"
@@syria0110 oh so only old ppl know who she is huh
Go to real housewives Atlanta as Kenya friend
100% got lip fillers tell the truth and shame the devil....but I would to see on real housewives
Black don't crack but what is she she looks the same
she has toned down her blackcent
🤔... A half blk girl from St. Louis doing a "blaccent"? I guess all our blk (asis) were doing it too.
@@janepatton8100 Only in AMERICA, I am Black, what de hell is BLACCENT?
@@patriciajones6771 You honestly don't know what a blackcent is? It's the way some blk folks sound when they don't enunciate their words. A lot of blk men do this, a lot of times because they think it's cool. But I have never heard Kimora speak with a blackcent.
What happend to her mouth
---> 😏 Maybe We're The 1st Spiritist* Pop-Metal Or Rock Band In This World
But Don't Pay Much Attention To Our Neanderthal English, HaHa ❤ HaHa
*NOTE:
-> Spiritist is who professes Spiritism, the Gospel continuation
It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier, the greatest and more important medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries...
-> 😏 Talvez Somos A 1ª Banda Espirita De Pop-Metal Ou Rock Desse Mundo...
-> Mas Nao Reparem Muito No Nosso Ingles Neanderthal, kkk ❤ kkk
Trout mouth 😂💉
I’m so bothered by her lips.

Yeah she wants to now cause her husband is going away.
That show was awful
Lol...I didn't watch it!
