Russell Simmons Defends Kimora

A day after defending Gwyneth Paltrow from the angry Twitter horde, hip hop mogul Russell Simmons is now stepping up for his ex-wife, Kimora Lee Simmons. There have been rumors that Kimora and her husband, actor Djimon Hounsou, are on the rocks. Russ says there's no truth to it.

He posted a 'list' pointing out how and why the couple is doing fine:

1. Kimora and Djimon are fine. 

2. Kimora and Djimon are both doing extremely well in their respective endeavors and businesses and don't need to fight over or waste energy on money issues. 

3. I damn sure don't pay nor have I ever paid alimony (Kimora does just fine). In no way do I support their lifestyle, so please don't say they are fighting over MY money. 

4. Yes she's selling a house, but she hasn't lived in it for several years since she built the house they currently reside in. 

5. As for friction between us? There is none. I feel like I'm part of their family. Djimon and Kenzo are like my blood and Kimora is my best friend. We are partners in various businesses and in the really important business of raising our beautiful children.
