The rumor mill was buzzing yesterday that Kimora and Djimon Hounsou’s marriage was on the rocks and that Rusell’s money was involved in the sticky situation. When word got out about their possible split, Kimora’s ex-hubby, Russell Simmons, stepped in to set the record straight and come to the couples defense.

He posted his response today saying:

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

I guess that pretty much answers all of our questions! Thanks Uncle Rush!
