Djimon Hounsou's ex-girlfriend Riza Simpson, with whom he shares two children, has been arrested for allegedly punching him during a dispute over her living in his Atlanta townhouse. The incident reportedly unfolded in December 2025, leading to charges of simple assault and obstruction. TMZ obtained the details straight from legal docs and police reports.
Oh honey, the tea is piping hot from Atlanta! According to TMZ, Djimon Hounsou went to the cops back in December 2025, spilling that his ex Riza Simpson clocked him right in the face with a closed fist. Why the drama? He was trying to get her to pack up and leave his townhouse there—y'know, the one he owns. Their two little ones were upstairs at the time, bless their hearts; Djimon says they didn't witness the mess but might've caught the sounds. 😬
Fast-forward to last Friday, and boom—Atlanta PD shows up at the same spot with an arrest warrant. They nabbed Riza on the spot for simple assault (a misdemeanor, thank goodness) and obstruction, because she allegedly fed officers some false info when they rolled up. And get this: the kids were with her during the bust, crying in the background as cops knocked. Heartbreaking, right? Djimon also has a 16-year-old son, Kenzo, from his previous relationship with Kimora Lee Simmons, but that's a whole other chapter.
TMZ reached out to both Riza and Djimon's reps for the full scoop, but crickets so far. Is this co-parenting gone wildly wrong, or just a heated eviction gone sideways? Spill more if you know— we're all ears! 🔥
