Overview
- In a Dec. 14 Threads post, Russell Simmons claimed Kimora Lee Simmons told him he would never speak to their children if he sued her.
- He asserted he paid her $50,000 per month for 20 years, described himself as godfather to her other children, and accused her of stealing his stock.
- PEOPLE and TMZ reported his statements and said representatives for Kimora Lee Simmons had not responded to requests for comment.
- Earlier in the week, Kimora told PEOPLE she is the primary parent and that her children live with her full-time.
- The dispute follows Kimora’s 2023 public statements accusing Russell of threats and abuse; the former couple married in 1998, divorced in 2009, and share daughters Ming, 25, and Aoki, 23.
