Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons' Family Drama: Abuse Allegations and Claims of Change
Russell Simmons has apologized to his daughters for yelling but did not address allegations of emotional abuse after his ex-wife, Kimora Lee Simmons, and their two children, Aoki Simmons and Ming Simmons, publicly spoke out against him. Aoki shared text messages and a video allegedly showing him berating her on FaceTime. Kimora accused Russell of threatening their children's lives and "extortive harassment" during a year-long court battle. This isn't the first time Russell has been accused of abuse, as he faced allegations of rape and sexual assault in 2017.
