Russell Simmons' Custody Battle: Ex-Wife Kimora Lee Simmons Allegedly Using Children as Leverage

Russell Simmons is facing challenges in seeing his children due to his ex-wife, Kimora Lee Simmons, allegedly using them as leverage to prevent him from taking legal action against her. Kimora recently spoke about her relationships with her exes, including Russell, Djimon Hounsou, and Tim Leissner, stating that she is the primary parent to their children. Russell, on the other hand, expressed his frustration on Instagram, claiming that Kimora is not telling the whole story and accusing her of withholding his stock and threatening to cut off contact with their kids if he sues her. Despite his efforts to maintain a relationship with his children, Aoki and Ming, their daughters, have publicly criticized Russell for his absence in their lives. The situation remains unresolved as Kimora has not responded to the allegations.
