Russell Simmons has publicly apologized to his daughter for the drama between his family over Father’s Day.
After his daughter, Ming Lee, thanked his ex-wife Kimora Lee Simmons on Father’s Day, he slammed his daughters. His daughter Aoki then accused him of being abusive to their mother and that he ruined her career.
“God is testing you a little bit, it’s ok, be strong. . . they are called growing pains,” he wrote alongside a photo of Ming and Aoki. “As you know, we grow through adversity and struggle . . . you read my books and heard me preach your whole childhood . . . reach back to old lessons and remember to remember ‘smile and breathe’ [heart emoji] ‘smile and breathe.'”
He continued: “You are the watchers of this world . . . so let go . . . be at ease . . . God is driving and he is working on you [heart emoji]. DEEPLY sorry for being frustrated and yelling . . . but know this . . . there are no conditions . . . for sure i love you guys more than i love myself.”
Simmons has been in and out of the country after several women stepped forward to accuse him of sexual assault and rape. He vehemently denied the allegations against him and has faced no criminal charges.
