Simmons teared up as she said her son asked “Is he alive?” about his dad – who was fatally shot in 2018 (via toofab)
"I was with my son, and super emotional right, even to talk about it. He was looking out the window and he's like, 'Daddy, white car,'" Simmons says in the clip. "I question him, 'Where do you see him?' or 'Who is Daddy? What does he look like?' I'm asking him. I'm like, 'Do you want to see your dad?' and he's like, 'Yes.
Simmons starts to choke up as she points out that her son doesn't use the word "alive." She adds, "So, for him ask that is like -- whoa. Did you really just say, 'Is he alive?' I was just like, 'No. He's not.'" "[I say] all of the great things, then he kind of laid his head in my chest --" she says, beginning to sob. "And he told me he was sad."
"He's a happy kid, and that whole day, he was just kind of, like, mopey and sad," she recalls. "And I told him, 'I got you. You're OK. You're good.' And he was like, 'Okay, I got you.' It was that conversation, but it was super hard to have that conversation with him."
