Kimberly Russell, an actress who starred in the 80's sitcom
Head of the Class, dated George for 3 years. They also lived together for a short period of time. I'm not sure if Kimberly is the only Black woman George ever dated. My guess is that she is not. George was raised in a
very liberal, open minded family and had many Black friends and acquaintances growing up. Still, I wonder though, why is she his LAST Black girlfriend? ...lol... or at least the last that WE (the public) know of? Of course there is that possibility that he's dated Black women or women of color
privately. But, if this
IS the case, why? Is it because of racist Hollywood? Are his handlers, i.e. agent, publicist afraid he'll lose his white fan base if he publicly dates a woman of color? Or is it just George? At the time that they dated, Kimberly was MORE famous than George. And when looking at the span of their relationship, it seems as though the moment George became famous on ER, he dumped her for a French blond girl named Celine.
Clooney's Ex-Love: Don't Mention Marriage Or Commitment
George Clooney'S ex-lover, Kimberly Russell, has warned his new flame never to ask for marriage or commitment from the Hollywood star - because the relationship will be over in an instant. Kimberly's romance with the film superstar lasted three years, and she was left with a broken heart when she was replaced by 25- year-old model Lisa Snowdon. She says, "Just enjoy the love affair while it lasts - and guard your heart. Eventually, a woman finds that George simply ain't the marrying kind." Kimberly predicts there will have been flowers and gifts and love notes too. It was exactly how he flattered and wooed her in the beginning. She adds, "That's how it starts with George, he sweeps you off your feet and romances the hell out of you. It's as though you are the only woman in the world worthy of his affections - and it's one glorious high. But don't mention the words 'marriage, commitment or babies' because that's the end of the line. We'd been together for over three years and I wanted a family. I wanted us to be man and wife. But there was no hope of pinning him down. He had one busted marriage already, and he told me flat out it was never going to happen again. If Lisa Snowdon has any thoughts of getting him down the aisle, she better forget them quick." »
