Exclusive: Russell Simmons Denies Fleeing To Bali To Avoid S3xual A$$ault Allegations, Says He’s In The U.S. ‘All The Time’

#RussellSimmons is making it clear he’s not afraid to return to the United States.

The businessman and record executive jumped into our comments to defend his daughter Aoki Lee Simmons’ decision to relocate to Bali full-time. After a member of our #TJBCrew criticized Aoki’s move, alleging that Russell is living in #Bali to “run away from those [s3xual a$$ault] allegations,” he shut the claim down, writing, “Knock it off I’m back all the time.”

Rumors surrounding Russell’s 2018 move to Bali have circulated for years, with critics accusing him of leaving the country to avoid consequences tied to multiple s3xual a$$ault allegations. However, he has repeatedly denied that legal troubles played any role in his relocation or that they’ve kept him out of America.

Russell also clarified in our comments that regardless of where he and his ex, #KimoraLeeSimmons, currently stand, Aoki maintains a loving relationship with both parents. “She loves her mother and her father I’m blessed to see her daily Yes she lives here,” he wrote. The former couple had a heated online exchange last month that ended with Kimora firing back at Russell, “You know these are lies. Why are you typing from thousands of miles away in a non extradition country? Go negotiate and Answer your Accusers.”

Despite the family tension, it appears #Aoki is happy with her move and enjoying the opportunity to spend quality time with her father.
