Following Russell Simmons' public accusations of being blocked from their daughters, Kimora Lee Simmons fired back on social media, calling his claims lies and referencing his exile in Bali and legal troubles. The exchange intensifies their long-standing co-parenting tensions.
In the latest chapter of the Simmons co-parenting saga, Kimora Lee Simmons responded forcefully to ex-husband Russell Simmons' weekend social media post. After Kimora told PEOPLE she is the full-time primary parent to their daughters Aoki (23) and Ming (25)—among her five children—and has little relationship with their fathers, Russell accused her of cutting him off, claiming he paid $50K monthly for 20 years, was her best friend and godfather to her other kids, until she allegedly stole his stock and threatened to block his kids if he sued.
Kimora clapped back on Dec. 13: "My ‘girls’ are GROWN WOMEN! You know these are lies. Why are you typing from thousands of miles away in a non extradition country." She urged him to "Go negotiate and answer your accusers," alluding to Russell's multiple sexual assault allegations. He faces nearly $8M in prior settlements (e.g., $4.95M to Tina Klein-Baker) and additional 2024 lawsuits for unpaid amounts, as detailed in reports like the LA Times and the documentary 'On The Record.'
This back-and-forth underscores ongoing family strains, including past public roasts from their daughters on Father's Day 2023. The feud shows no signs of cooling.
