The end of a relationship is always difficult, but Kill Bill star Vivica A Fox got dumped in a truly humiliating way -- by press release. The actress's club promoter boyfriend Slimm sent a notice saying they were "no longer dating," to numerous media outlets last Wednesday, without telling her. Just one day later he sent out a second release -- this time announcing that they were actually back together.

Slimm, it seems, had flipped out following an argument and decided to dump his love in the most public way possible -- before realising he was being silly and overreacting. "Love is crazy sometimes!" Vivica, 46, laughed about the short-lived breakup from her 26-year-old toyboy. Slimm, the Atlanta-based co-founder of Plush Blue Entertainment. "Hey this is Slimm, unfortunately me and Vivica are no longer dating," read the promoter's pronouncement. "After eight months, it's time to go our separate ways. In life you can love and have chemistry with a person, but flaws can sometimes outweigh the relationship. I wish her the best and I know she feels the same. Thanks." But not even 24 hours later, Slimm had a change of heart and sent out a second release to announce he and Fox were back together. "I want to clear the air about the rushed statement released yesterday about Vivica and I breaking up. Sometimes a person may act out of anger," he explained, and then apologised for "overreacting instead of letting time take its course." He added: "Vivica is an important part of my life and I would never try to hurt her. Thanks for supporting us as we figure things out." Vivica dismissed the releases in email responses to the story. "Slimm and I r fine!" she emailed the New York Daily News. "All relationships have their ups and their downs. I'm so proud that Slimm was man enough to clear up the air. He is a very good man with a great heart!" The couple have had public rows in the past. Self-confessed cougar Vivica lost her temper when he was seen flirting with girls at his April birthday party.
