Kimora Lee Simmons is speaking out for the first time following allegations of rape against her ex-husband, Russell Simmons. Kimorra shared a statement on Instagram on Thursday and captioned the post, "Now that I put my baby down…. "
"I add my voice to the chorus of those speaking out against harassment and violence in all its forms. I have known Russell for over 25 years. We were close friends, married, divorced, and have remained friends, co-parents and partners throughout it all," she wrote. "These allegations against him are nothing like the person I have known in all that time. I have known him to be a caring and supportive father and someone who has worked tirelessly to uplift disenfranchised communities."
Kimora and Russell were married from 1998 to 2009 and share two daughters, Ming Lee Simmons, 18 and Aoki Lee Simmons, 15. She has since married Tim Leissner and they share a son, Wolf..
