Model and Baby Phat co-founder, Kimora Lee Simmons, opened up about the challenges of raising her children as the single mother she says she’s had no choice but to be. With five children from past relationships –including two daughters, Ming Lee and Aoki Simmons, with Russell Simmons; son, Kenzo, with actor, Djimon Hounsou; son, Wolfe, with ex-husband, Tim Leisner, an investment banker/former Goldman Sachs exec; and one adopted Son, Gary — Kimora claims that none of her children’s fathers are actively involved in their lives.

Kimora Calls Out Her Exes

Kimora called out all of three of her children’d fathers in an interview with Bustle…

“I have beautiful children, but our necessity for [men] in our life is very minimal,” Kimora candidly shared. “It’s not all that it’s cracked up to be. It’s not giving what it was supposed to have gave!”

At the age of 23, Kimora married Russell, but their marriage ended while their children were still young. She then had a five-year relationship with Djimon, in her 30s; and later married Tim, from 2014 until last year — after finding out through court documents that Tim was already married to another woman. Anywho, she emphasized that she does not co-parent with any of her children’s fathers and hasn’t spoken to Russell in years.

Reflecting on her past relationships, Kimora voiced her disappointment and referred to her exes as “con artists”:

“I’m so bruised by it all. I feel like I’ve run into con artists every step of the way.”

Kimora says even though it may seem like she is the “common denominator” she is rebuking that assumption to the fullest. Instead, she believes it has more to do with her personality and her stance in society. She described a pattern with powerful men who seem impressive on the surface, but hide their insecurities:

“It looks like, ‘Well, it’s all you, all fingers point to you, lady. You’re the one.’ I guess it is me, but I think it has more to do with my personality or my stance in society. Something about powerful men and how they really appear to be powerful and big and this and that. But they’re nursing an ego inside of there. Not just these men, any men. Men, powerful men, famous men, rich men, business rich men, whatever you want to call it. There’s a thing there and I don’t know what it is, but 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. I do everything on my own. Like I say, I’m a single mom.”

In 2019…DJimon Hounsou Called Out Kimora Over Their Son

Although Kimora says none of her kids’ fathers are in their lives, it seems that as of 2019 Djimon was fighting like hell to be there for their son. Djimon was interviewed outside of what appeared to be a courthouse, where he was clearly pissed off with Kimora regarding their then-10-year-old son, Kenzo. At that time, Djimon claimed that Kimora was keeping him away from Kenzo. Soon afterward he filed for joint custody of their son.

And get this…in the midst of the Djimon-Kimora drama, Russell and Kimora were still great friends. Russell even attempted to facilitate a resolution between Kimora and Djimon regarding Kenzo. Not sure what resulted from Djimon’s custody battle, but just thought it was interesting how things have seemingly drastically changed…based on Kimora’s latest reveals about her exes.

All in all, it would be a beautiful thing if Kimora and her exes – Russell, Djimon, and Tim – are eventually able to reach a peaceful resolution for the sake of their children.

The other day, Amistad star, Djimon Hounsou, made headlines when he called out his ex/former model, Kimora Lee Simmons, for not allowing him to see their son, Kenzo (10), on Father’s Day…or any other day for that matter. It was a rare move for the typically ultra private Djimon and at the time, it seemed as though his frustration had finally pushed him to the breaking point. Now that the brotha has let the cat outta the bag, Kimora’s team has reportedly spoken out to shut his claims down, with a very different version of the story.

It’s just been reported that sources from within Kimora’s camp blame Djimon for not seeing Kenzo on Father’s Day or any other day, because they say he doesn’t make great effort to see him:

TMZ- We’re told Sunday’s missed opportunity to get together with the kid is just the latest in what we’re told has become common in their relationship … that Djimon allegedly doesn’t go out of his way to make plans.

Our sources — who are directly knowledgeable about this — tell us Kimora has an open door policy when it comes to visitation. We’re told she encourages the whole fam coming together as often as possible — holidays, birthdays, etc. — but Djimon hardly ever takes her up on it.

“Would have been nice to see my son for Father’s Day. It would have also been nice if I could see him to talk to him, right? Like all fathers, right?”

Asked when exactly was the last time he’d seen his son, Djimon said, “I can’t even recall myself. How ’bout that?” Later adding, that he’s not in a “custody battle” because “I’m not a lawyer’s office, am I?,” before giving a muted, frustrated smirk to the camera when asked about Kimora’s control over the situation.

When Djimon Hounsou and ex-supermodel, Kimora Lee Simmons, dated from 2007 to 2012, they seemed like the happy couple. Even after their break-up, they were the perfectly blended family, who smiled in family photos, along with Kimora’s new man, and her ex-husband/hip hop mogul, Russell Simmons.

We don’t know what went down between then and now, but it is very evident that Djimon is NOT feelin’ Kimora right now, and it has everything to do with their 10 year old son, Kenzo.

In the 1997 Amistad film, Djimon epically said “Give us, us free,” but fast forward to 2019 and he’s telling Kimora Lee Simmons, ‘Give me my child!’ Okay, maybe he’s not saying it exactly in those words, but he clearly drove home that point, without flinching, when he was randomly stopped by paparazzi recently.

Djimon Is Clearly Heated With Kimora…

“Would have been nice to see my son for Father’s Day. It would have also been nice if I could see him to talk to him, right? Like all fathers, right?”

Asked when exactly was the last time he’d seen his son, Djimon didn’t give a verbal answer, but held up 5 fingers instead…without much explanation. Then he stated, “I can’t even recall myself. How ’bout that?”

So, we’re not sure if Djimon was implying that he hasn’t seen his son in 5 days, 5 months, or 5 years, but whatever the case, he’s hella pissed about it.

Djimon Had More To Say Though>>>
