This sent her into another twitter storm.
Must say the frequency of her tweets are disturbing. The full statement is extremely long. With all that being said, listed below is some of what she had to say.
For four years (starting 3 weeks after Kimora Lee Simmons 'faux' West African wedding to actor Djimon Hounsou in the country of Benin)....I took part in an adulterous affair with Ms. Simmons' man.
I can honestly say that I slept with her husband more than she did the last four years. It should also be noted that I had a sexual relationship with Mr. Hounsou many, many years prior to the 'marriage', before he even knew Ms. Simmons.
Djimon and Kimora of course have never been legally married. His only legal wife is a much older woman named Marie in France. Marie basically bankrolled him during his youthful model days. Djimon also has an African wife given to him by his tribe in Benin (and a set of children by her). Today is June 14th, 2012. But a few months ago...my affair with Djimon caused so much strife within their coupling that Djimon Hounsou walked out on Ms. Simmons. (To be fair, financial issues also played a significant role, though I am not privy to information on that.
I just know that Kimora deeply wounded Djimon one day by calling him a 'broke nigga'--he told me and my adoptive Black American mother, Claudine Johnson, about it in late January). I'm not sure what day exactly Djimon walked out for the final time (he had actually stayed gone from home a few times before the walk out)....but I do know that I was overjoyed...and not in the way you are expecting.
First of all....after Djimon left Kimora....I made it clear that I would never sleep with him again.
Just as you saw published in my interview with the NY DAILY NEWS...I informed him that the only reason I had sex with him was to get revenge on Kimora. With their breakup, I didn't (and don't) want it anymore. When I finally did tell my story to the newspapers---they did not take my word for it.
The media doesn't work like that. They have to fact check in some manner in order to report something. They interviewed other people about Djimon and myself....employees at hotels, limousine services and other establishments who TOLD THEM that they had seen me and Djimon together (with my skirt hiked up and me giggling) *sporadically* for the last 4 years.
I refuse to provide what few TEXT MESSAGES and voice mails that I have. But the only reason my story was published in NY DAILY NEWS and other major newspapers is because they had significant witness information indicating beyond 'legal doubt' that I was telling the truth. So they published it. I didn't want to hurt Djimon and I still don't.
But by the same token--nobody's going to hurt Kola either. I was served an unexpected shock...everyone wanted to stop me from delivering today's Official Statement...even to the point of offering money!
The Vice President of Djimon's birth country (Benin) contacted me...and Russell Simmons, Kimora's powerful ex-husband began harassing and smearing my name. I am including here now a small portion of what Mathurin Nago, the Vice President of Benin ordered me to do.
Vice President of Benin's message: Mathurin Nago:
"...Daughter, you and Djimon are both Africans. It's not right for you to destroy your brother's legacy of hard works. We do not have another world class movie star but Djimon Hounsou. He is the symbolic lion of the continent on screens across the world. You are a young lady and your place should be in support of your brothers. But you have attacked Wale, the gifted musician for not showcasing African women in his videos and you now disgrace yourself and Djimon with disclosures of bedroom vice. You must take such things to the grave Daughter and not make public disgrace of yourself and Africa. Your place is at your brother's feet, but you have been ill-raised by the Americans. It is their fault. I say with love that you are wrong to go forward with a public statement Thursday. If you have any respect for me like you say you do, I forbid you to tear down your brother and his hard works. Take these incidents of vice to the grave."
As a Nilotic African woman, I cannot deny that I was very affected by Mr. Nago's words. In fact, it still affects me. But I feel very strongly that I have a right to give my press statement...and that my reputation and word is just as important as that of my brothers.
