*Kimora Lee Simmons says she doesn’t have a “great relationship” with the fathers of her children.
The former supermodel shares daughters Aoki, 21, and Ming, 23, with ex-husband Russell Simmons and son Kenzo, 14, with actor Djimon Hounsou. She also has a son, Wolfe, 8, with Tim Leissner and a 13-year-old adopted son named Gary, according to Vibe.
“I don’t really have a great relationship with any of them and they’ve left me to it to just kind of do things on my own,” she said in a recent interview with Bustle. “I do everything on my own. Like I say, I’m a single mom.”
Kimora also told the publication that she feels “bruised by it all,” as it related to her exes.
“I feel like I’ve run into con artists every step of the way,” she shared. “I have beautiful children, but our necessity for [men] in our life is very minimal… It’s not all that it’s cracked up to be. It’s not giving what it was supposed to have gave!”
Elsewhere in the conversation, Kimora addressed the public dispute between Russell and Aoki on Father’s Day.
We reported previously that Simmons lashed out online when Ming Lee posted a photo of her mother for the holiday instead of her famous father. As Page Six reports, Simmons responded with cryptic messages on social media, posting a meme that read “Stop telling fathers they should have fought harder to see their children & start asking mothers why he had to fight at all.”
A separate image stated, “The father you have is the perfect father for the evolution of your soul and the lessons that you needed to learn in this lifetime.”
Aoki clapped back and claimed her father has “been awful to [her] for years and that’s just the truth.” She also shared private texts between them and suggested in an Instagram Story that Simmons may be mentally ill, People reported.
In her Bustle interview, Kimora said of the highly publicized incident, “All my life I just sat there quietly and I took things, but I don’t have to do that,” she said, as reported by Vibe.
“At the end of the day you go to bed, you’re with yourself. You have to be proud of the steps you’ve made and definitely not let somebody bully you or push you over…I don’t care if that’s your dad, your uncle, your friend, someone you don’t know, we’re not going to have it,” she continued.
