Marriage, Abuse Claims and Fallout

Lee and Simmons married in 1998 (Banks served as a bridesmaid), had daughters Ming Lee and Aoki (who became Banks’ goddaughter), split in 2006 and divorced in 2009. Lee describes the relationship as tumultuous and later recognized verbal and emotional abuse. Simmons has faced multiple sexual-assault allegations, which he denies; Lee says she learned of those claims after their split. A legal dispute over shared stocks was reportedly resolved.
