Overview
- Posting on Threads on Dec. 14, Russell Simmons claimed Kimora Lee Simmons threatened he would never speak to their kids if he sued her, alleging he paid her $50,000 a month for 20 years and that she “stole” his stock.
- His comments followed Kimora’s recent interviews with People and USA TODAY in which she said she doesn’t have relationships with her children’s fathers and described herself as the primary parent with the kids full-time.
- Multiple outlets reported that Kimora had not publicly responded to Russell’s latest allegations, and representatives did not immediately return requests for comment.
- The exes remain locked in a 2021 legal fight over nearly 4 million Celsius shares tied to Tim Leissner, with a high-profile trial reported for January 2026.
- The renewed attention aligns with Kimora’s return to reality TV on E! and comes after earlier public family tensions, including Aoki Lee’s 2023 posts and Russell’s subsequent apology.
