There is a very crazy story about a nasty split between self-proclaimed "entertaining guru" Jennifer Rubell and her boyfriend Daniel Kim. Rubell, whose website describes her as "writer, renowned hostess, hotelier, Harvard grad and member of the illustrious Rubell clan," filed for custody of their 14 month old daughter (named Stevie, after Uncle Steve of Studio 54) because Kim has become, well, crazy. Kim has allegedly become "verbally abusive," tried to pressure her into letting him film or photograph her during sex, leaves the room when she tries to talk to him (he rather email), put a surveillance camera in the house and left a threat, "You have been warned."
...He "thinks nothing of taking days at a time to shop for clothes, or spending countless hours trying on the clothes he has bought and figuring out what he should keep." He also spends "countless hours on the phone dialing in to listen to broadcasts of board meetings" of companies in which he owns stock, the filing says.Kim had been working in film, but totally stopped, simply spending his time smoking pot in Rubell's 5-floor brownstoneon Lexington off East 29th Street. Rubell and baby Stevie have moved out. Buried in the story, the Post wonders why the filing doesn't "explain why Rubell has never changed the locks.""I would understand if he were a research analyst and this was a part of his profession, but it is not," she said. "This is simply how he chooses to spend his day."
As for looking good on paper, Kim was a Rhodes Scholar and had worked at McKinsey. Rubbell and Kim were even featured in Harvard's 02138 magazine's premier issue: "Rubell’s Korean food impresses even the Korean parents of Daniel Kim." This sounds like the makings of a NY Times Modern Love column!

Daniel Kim's got to be the only man in the city who actually enjoys clothes shopping and trying on the clothes!
show the picture of the baby. it's head is as big as a watermelon. that should teach all of you potheads a lesson: lay off the dope for a week before procreating.
Most of them mixed Korean male, caucasion female offsprings have an enormous forehead.
Like gettin hit with a cast iron frying pan.
I really want to hear Daniel Kim's side of this story--not so much to get to the bottom of this crazy custody clash (yeah, why didn't she change the locks?)--but because if he's as crazy as Rubell says he is, then Kim's story should be a doozy!
Asians smoking Pot? so much so that it makes him a slacker? wow, way to break the stereotype.
big time.
i have heard that asian men have small penises... that's what my boss told me about her ex husband.
Harvard graduates have to tell you they went to Harvard within five minutes of meeting. They are hoping that you will automatically assume they are brilliant and not realize that most of them are pretty damn average and unimpressive.
What self respecting male doesn't do the things she's alleging? "leaves the room when she tries to talk to him". Oh the horror.
"simply spending his time smoking pot in Rubell's 5-floor brownstone on Lexington off East 29th Street."
Nuttin' wrong with that. If I had that kind of money that's how I'd be spending my days too!
the only college that I am really ever impressed of when someone tells me they went there is MIT or CalTech. I mean, going to an ivy league school (for a BA) just tells me your parents are rich or you did really well in AP classes in highschool.
also why am I supposed to care about this person?
If I were living w/ a woman who describes herself as "writer, renowned hostess, hotelier, Harvard grad and member of the illustrious Rubell clan", I'd avoid her too.
ur stooped edex! no use for ur racist humor here.
who? what? why?
This story concerns me because _______________.
Korean men are notorious wife-beaters. Must be the small penises.
they're also very sneaky. but that's a given as shown by him installing a surveillance camera in the home.
I'm really not clear on why we need to know this. Don't custody disputes happen all the time?
ahh the annoying pitiful travails of self-indulgent ivy league new york yuppies, aw boo hoo
why should we care about this article or these people? is it because she's a rich white NYer? meh. move along.
or was it just a good excuse to have a bunch of white people trashtalk about asian penis size in the comments?
Call it schadenfreude, but I can't help but feel, well, some shameful joy at witnessing the demise of some jackass 02138-featured couple. Jesus Christ. Who gives a rat's ass?
"If I were living w/ a woman who describes herself as "writer, renowned hostess, hotelier, Harvard grad and member of the illustrious Rubell clan", I'd avoid her too."
My thoughts exactly, my friend.
#19 nonsense
You say that like it's a bad thingJennifer Rubell is a crazy rich-girl hag. Here's how the story goes:
Daniel Kim and Jennifer get pregnant, have baby. Decide to get married. Jennifer's family drafts prenup, which Daniel is fine with because he's not after the Rubell fortune - until he gets to the part of the prenup that says in the event of a divorce he gets NO custody of the child. He balks at this, and then everything goes to hell in a handbasket.
Rubell family hires Donald Trump's divorce lawyer, who writes the inflamatory deposition accusing Kim of all sorts of ridiculous crap.
And there ya have it.
Korean men are notorious wife-beaters. Must be the small penises.

Sounds like you're getting teased in High School...just say to them "Sticks and Stones Won't...oh you know the rest.
And it's Caucasian by the way. We White people get a little touchy when you misspell our tribal name.
jones seems to have it. rubell made her reputation as a man-eater in boston and is now- as she hates collecting- a self-proclaimed entertainment guru made up by pr gloss- and mario batali glaze. mr. kim might be a smartie pantie rhodes scholar mckinsey fellow with stocks to follow to make income and few things to smoke to make his film- what a luxury, but looks like that he was rubells last victim to be guillotined by her monstrous and not very beloved family. you should also check what he has to respond, as i am sure if she was crazy enough to commit to a baby with him, she must have poured it all out to him.
While I have no personal insight into the specifics of this sad case, I have known Daniel Kim for better than a decade and have always considered him one of the most decent, intelligent, caring people I know. I cannot imagine that the way he has been portrayed in the press today bears any relation to the reality of the situation. While I bear Jennifer no ill will, I frankly believe Daniel is being defamed without cause. Those who do not know the principals should refrain from comment.
Well, she always wanted to be famous. I suppose this is one way to go about it.
A Harvard grad who couldn't figure out how to change the locks on her brownstone.
Sigh.
sounds too far fetch to be true. and guys who think asian guys have small penises. i think you guys might even have smaller ones LOL.
asian guys do have smaller penises. It's cause Asians are usually shorter, like 5"5" is average male height in asia. Also, asian women are smaller, and asian women have smaller tighter vagina holes. So the lesson is Asian men have smaller penises and cuacasian women have huge loose floppy vaginas. and the reason why black dudes have huge penises is cause black girls have black holes.
I don't know Jennifer or the specifics of this situation, but I have known Daniel Kim for close to 30 years and there is no way that these allegations are true.
