Wow…the Russell Simmons his family has put on display here seems a to be lot different from the kumbaya-meditating-peaceful Russell his fans have come to know him as in recent years.
This is heartbreaking, but hopefully the Simmons family will be able to peacefully make amends with each other in due time. We’ll keep y’all posted on how this situation unravels.
