Russell Simmons twitted in response to the New York's Post's insinuation that his daughters prefer their step-dad, Djimon Honsou, over him.
"...And then came the blurb in the NY Post that dug a hole.The Post managed to do what the others didn't...they got under my skin, found a raw nerve, hit and actually hurt me. They reported that my beautiful daughters, after the mother's fashion show, "went straight up to Djimon Hounsou and gave him a hug, bypassing biological dad Rusell." I'm sorry but targeting my family, my kids who I love so very much and trying to suggest there is some underlying jealously, favoritism or lack of love between my kids and I or any of that is low and extra dirty. Djimon is a great father and step-father for my kids. And I try to be a good father that's the reality. The NY Post tried to take an arrow to my heart and hit me where any father would feel the most pain, and at least for a moment, they succeeded. Sorry to tell the Post and the other sites that picked up this story, that there is NO story here to tell. My girls went and hugged and kissed Djimon and myself, cris-crossing us equally at the same time. He and I are family. I even tell my lovely daughters that they are lucky to have two fathers. It saddens me to know that so many people are comfortable making a living by selling pain..."
