Kimora Lee Simmons’ ex Russell fires back at her co-parenting remarks

Russell Simmons is breaking his silence over Kimora Lee Simmons’ recent remarks that she doesn’t “have a relationship” with her kids’ fathers.

The 68-year-old former partner of Kimora clapped back at the model-turned-fashion mogul by saying, “There are two sides to every story.”

Russell took to his Threads account on December 14 to respond to Kimora's claim. He began, "I gave u 50,000 a month for 20 years.”

“I was ur best /only friend. I’m the godfather to your other 3 kids, until one day you stole my stock.”

He went on to say, “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 again. There are two sides to every story," he claimed.

This came after Kimora made the remark in a recent interview with People, further noting that it took her a "village" of “friends and family and people" to raise her kids.

"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, she added at the time.

It is pertinent to mention that Kimora shares two daughters with Simmons, 25-year-old Ming Lee and 23-year-old Aoki Lee. The former couple tied the knot in 1998 and parted ways in 2006.

Kimora is also mom to two more kids: son Kenzo Lee, 16, whom she shares with actor Djimon Hounsou and 10-year-old son Wolfe Lee with former investment banker Tim Leissner.
