Kimora Lee Simmons Reveals Secrets of Their Past
Kimora Lee Says Ex-Russell Simmons Got More Women Because Of Her
In a recent podcast interview that quickly made waves across social media, Kimora Lee Simmons delivered some candid insights about her ex-husband, music mogul Russell Simmons — and the role she played in elevating his public image.
Kimora didn’t hold back when reflecting on their high-profile past, revealing that Russell himself once admitted, “I get so much p-word because of you.” She emphasized her influence on his social cachet, adding, “A lot of girls have come and gone, thinking they can replicate that situation, but not knowing what I brought.” It was a rare moment of transparency from the former model and fashion entrepreneur — and one that struck a chord with fans.
TikTok users quickly chimed in, praising Kimora for owning her narrative and pointing out a truth many women already know: women often shape the social status of the men they’re with. Comments flooded in supporting Kimora’s take, with many agreeing that her presence played a significant role in Russell’s appeal.
But the headline-making moment isn’t just about podcast quotes — it’s happening amid serious legal drama between the former couple.
Kimora and Russell are currently entangled in a complex legal battle over stock transfers. Russell has filed a lawsuit against Kimora and her estranged husband, Tim Leissner, accusing them of fraudulently transferring shares from their joint investment company to help cover Leissner’s $44 million bail in connection with a money laundering case.
Kimora, however, is standing firm in her defense. She argues that Russell relinquished any claim to those assets when he walked away from their investment company back in 2018. She maintains that his lawsuit is without merit and that the shares in question were lawfully managed.
The case is headed to court on January 2, 2026, where the former power couple will face off in what promises to be a high-profile showdown.
While the legal outcome remains to be seen, one thing is clear: Kimora Lee Simmons is reclaiming her story — and reminding the world that behind every powerful man, there may very well be a woman who helped build the brand.
