I’m hearing so much more now.
We won’t be bullied or threatened or afraid,” Kimora Lee Simmons shared in an Instagram Story.
“No one should live like this.
No one’s child.
“My father is not well, for years” Lee added.
“He needs help and won’t accept that.
He refuses to acknowledge he is not himself.
He lashes out at ANYONE who does not say ‘oh Russell everything is fine.’
Well it’s not fine.”
Representatives for Simmons did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.
