Djimon Hounsou Has Ex Arrested for Assault


Actor Djimon Hounsou's second baby mama, Riza Simpson, arrested in Atlanta for punching him in the face after he asked her to move out of his townhouse...

From The Daily Mail
Djimon Hounsou's ex-girlfriend was arrested last week after allegedly assaulting the Gladiator actor.
The 61-year-old Beninese–American actor told police last month that his ex, Riza Simpson, had used a closed fist to hit him in the face after he asked her to move out of their Atlanta townhouse on December 2, 2025, according to the Atlanta Police Department incident report obtained by the Daily Mail.
Hounsou and Simpson share two children — whom he said were at home when the alleged assault occurred — and he also has a 16-year-old son with his former partner, Kimora Lee Simmons.
According to the incident report, Hounsou told police that his children didn't see the alleged altercation because they were upstairs at the time, but they may have been able to hear the commotion.
Then, on Friday, January 16, APD officers reportedly arrived at the same home Hounsou claimed to have been struck at with an arrest warrant for Simpson.
She was arrested on two misdemeanor charges of simple assault (domestic violence) and obstruction for allegedly giving false information to police officers.
According to the incident report, Simpson was spotted when officers arrived at the townhouse to arrest her.
She was allegedly seen through the windows as she closed the blinds, but when officers called her phone, she claimed to be driving to the house to meet them despite having allegedly been seen through the windows.
According to police, Simpson allegedly told them she needed another 10 minutes before arriving, but after they told her they would be entering the residence, she proceeded to open the door for them.
The officers wrote in their report that children were present with Simpson when she was arrested, and they allegedly heard crying in the background when they first knocked on the door.
According to records viewed by the Daily Mail, Simpson was booked at the Atlanta City Detention Center on a charge of battery — family violence, which was listed as a first offense for her.

If he's 30+ years my senior and I gave him 2 children, ain't no way my name wouldn't be on the deed, and that's the minimum. She should have her own home purchased by him as well. She played herself so bad

Did I miss something? Where does it say anywhere, including DM, there's a 30-year age difference?

And I hope the folks who like to clown people's age realize they may get there one day ... if they're lucky.
