Russell Simmons Claims Kimora Lee Simmons is Keeping Him From Seeing Their Children

Russell Simmons claims his ex-wife won’t let him see his kids … alleging she’s using them as leverage to keep him from taking legal action against her.

Here’s the deal … Kimora Lee Simmons spoke to People last week about her exes … admitting she doesn’t have a relationship with Simmons, actor Djimon Hounsou, or investment banker and convicted felon, Tim Leissner.

KLS told the outlet, “Usually I would say that I co-parent okay, but the kids are with me full-time. I’m pretty much the primary parent. It’s difficult, but I don’t know sometimes what other people are thinking. Guys are weird.”

Well, Russell clearly feels Kimora’s not giving the full story on their relationship … because he took to Instagram to vent his frustration … first by mentioning he gave her $50k a month for 20 years and calling himself her best and only friend.

He then writes, “I’m the godfather to your 3 other kids, until one day you stole my stock. I have been fighting for my kids love and my bread ever since. You threatened that if I sued you, I would never speak to my kids ever again. There are two sides to every story.”

Worth noting … Russell and Kimora’s kids don’t seem like they’re much interested in a relationship with the music star — because on Father’s Day 2023, Aoki and Ming both roasted him for never being around, and Aoki even shared tense texts she exchanged with Russell.
