Russell Simmons Repsonds to Child Support Buzz

Today a judge formally signed off on the deal Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons worked out last summer, that has Uncle Russ agreeing to send $40,000 a month in child support — $20,000 per girl — to his two daughters, Aoki Lee and Ming Lee until each reaches 19½ years old! While the blogosphere is buzzing, Russ want to make sure you understand that this was an agreement between him and Kimora…
I am reading these stories today about how a judge ordered me to pay Kimora $40,000 a month in child support and I want to make something very clear. Nothing was ordered, it was given. My kids have a fabulous life; they are exposed to a broad range of artistic and scholastic educational programs and I’m very happy to contribute to that. As long as I have it, they can have it. If I ever don’t have it, I’m coming to live with them! – Russell Simmons
While other custody situations are far more colorful and scandalous, I am not suprised that this was quite more amicable. What other couple can party it up together with new boos and still be married. It was two years after their split in 2006 before they formally divorced.
