Reality stars Reverend Run, Justine Simmons, and their son Russell Simmons II,12, were photographed outside of Barnes & Noble on August 25th in Paramus, New Jersey. The husband and wife team are busy promoting their new book “Take Back Your Family: How to Raise Respectful and Loving Kids in a Dysfunctional World”.

The following is an excerpt from the couple’s book:

“If this book can serve any purpose in your life, hopefully it will be as a reminder that there’s truly nothing out there that you can’t take your family back from. Drugs aren’t that strong. Drinking isn’t that strong. The TV isn’t that strong. The video games aren’t that strong.Read More

    I get the whole namesake idea…and that’s cute in many ways. But, why did he name his son Russell Simmons II? I mean, isn’t that kind of weird, conmsidering that he isn’t Russell Simmons’ son? What if Russell had/has a son that he wants to name Jr.?

      He is not a Jr.Rev Run just want to honor his brothers by naming his sons after them, as Diggy is named after their older brother Daniel.If Russell has a son and want to make him a Jr. He can.

      Naming him jr. is usually reserved for the son. The 2nd is for the namesake.
      I think it’s cute too how the older Simmons each have a namesake in Rev. Run’s family.

      My son is named Michael after his grandfather. I just did not get it as there is already another grandchild named Michael after the grandfather too. When I went to register the birth, I left him holding the baby and said that I was going to the supermarket. I registered Michael as a middle name…..

      Rev. Run’s name is Joseph Simmons so Russy can’t be a junior. JoJo is Joseph Simmons Jr. after his father. Russy is named after his uncle so he would be the second. =)

    There is a difference between the 2nd (II) and being a JR. If Russell Simmons has a son and wants to name him after himself he can be Russell Simmons Jr. I still think it’s weird, they could have made Russell and Daniel their middle names but whatever.
