This Father's Day weekend, Aoki Lee Simmons had a tearful Instagram Live session, explaining her strained relationship with her father, Russell Simmons. During the stream, her father commented that he was sorry and that he loves her.
However, Simmons didn't take it lightly and shared a muted video on The Neighborhood Talk, showing her father yelling at her. The Harvard graduate then displayed screenshots of messages where her father called her mother, Kimora Lee Simmons, a "piece of sh-t" who had stolen his money. Aoki Lee defended her mother, stating that Kimora had nothing to do with her father's diminished wealth, and that it was his own actions that had caused it.
Since 2017, Russell Simmons has been living in Bali following allegations of sexual assault made against him. His two daughters, Ming Lee and Aoki Lee, have been relatively silent about the matter. However, Aoki Lee is no longer holding back her discontent toward her father.
Her mother, Kimora, got involved in the social media exchange and expressed her sadness at her ex-husband having hit "rock bottom". Despite their estrangement, Simmons continues to post stories on social media, implying that he doesn't think he is at fault for the distant relationship with his daughters. He even shared a sign that said, "stop telling fathers they should have fought harder to see their children and start asking mothers why he had to fight at all."
Aoki Lee, on the other hand, has seemingly given up on the matter. She shared a post on her Instagram with all the loving posts she had made towards her father in the past, expressing that she had tried everything she could to make the relationship work.
It is clear that Aoki Lee is still wishing for a reconciliation with her father, but it remains to be seen if Russell Simmons will be willing or able to make it happen.
