Sad News For Rev Run And His Family :(

[~*baby_gurl*~]

A rapper's wife gave birth Thursday, but the scene quickly turned to tragedy after the newborn was pronounced dead.

Rev Run, a.k.a. Joseph Simmons, shocked fans last year when he announced that his wife Justine was pregnant on his MTV reality show "Rev's House."

Justine's pregnancy was the cliffhanger on the MTV show last season. It generated intense interest among viewers who have been anxiously following the pregnancy and awaiting the birth.

Simmons, a member of the legendary rap group Run DMC, was at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood New Jersey Tuesday for the birth of his child. Doctors delivered the baby via c-section, revealing a cruel twist of fate -- the baby was born with organs outside the body. The newborn died a short time later.

TMZ has learned that MTV cameras were inside the hospital at the time of the birth, though we do not know if they were in the delivery room.

OH NO!! How terrible. :Cry: I love Run's House and I think Joe and Justine are awesome people and amazing parents. I know the whole family is just heartbroken.

That just ruined my day. :(

Rev made a statement (tmz.com) that the baby girl (Victoria) was born early for unknown reasons and did not survive. No mention of a birth defect. ??

Here's the statement...

"On Sept. 26, 2006, Victoria Anne Simmons for some unknown reason chose to come early and unfortunately did not survive. We must accept whatever is there and once you accept unconditionally, then everything is beautiful. Every pain has a purifying effect."

What?! That's crazy. I am so sad. I remember watching this past season where Justine wanted a baby girl so badly. =(

I don't get it though. Wouldn't ultrasounds find the organs growing out of the baby?

I LOVED when Justine was carrying around the pink clothes and talking to them like a baby was in them!! I could NOT stop laughing!!! :LMAO:

I think (jmo) the cause of death was probably reported wrong based on the statement that Run made (he just said she unfortunately decided to come early). Just my feelings. THen again, it could be true.

Regardless, it's terribly sad. :(
