Aoki Lee Simmons Implores Public To Respect Diddy’s Kids Amid Federal Indictment
Aoki Lee Simmons is speaking up for the Combs kids as their father, Sean “Diddy” Combs, disputes allegations of committing various sex crimes.
The model, 22, took to Instagram Live Tuesday for a GRWM (get ready with me) session and brought up the mogul’s children, imploring the public to show respect to Combs’ brood.
“I think his daughters and children are such wonderful people, and I really hope you guys treat them with love and respect because they’re nice kids,” Simmons shared. “It’s not their fault that anything — adults, that’s adult business, and they’re not adults.” The Harvard grad referred specifically to Combs’ teen daughters, 17-year-old twins Jessie and D’Lila and daughter Chance, 18.
Combs is also father to 26-year-old son Christian Combs, Justin Combs, 30, and Love Combs, 2. He also adopted late ex Kim Porter’s oldest son, Quincy Brown, 33. The children have supported Combs every step of the way, with all of them having either visited him following his arrest, or showing up to his first court hearing, where it was determined he would stand trial in May of 2025.
Porter and Combs’ children also released a joint statement of support for Combs and denied the legitimacy of a rumored memoir of Porter’s. “Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not. And anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves,” their statement read. “Please understand that any so-called ‘friend’ speaking on behalf of our mom or her family is not a friend, nor do they have her best interests at heart.”
Aoki Lee may be particularly empathic due to her own father’s accusations, as Russell Simmons has also been accused of sexual misconduct. Most recently, the Phat Farm founder was ordered to hand over $3 million in payouts after failing to comply with lawsuit settlements he struck with three of his sexual assault accusers.
