Thomar Latrell Simmons, the former boyfriend of Carlee Russell, has publicly condemned the 25-year-old Alabama woman after her attorney revealed she was not kidnapped as she had reported to police.
On Monday, Hoover Police Chief Nicholas C. Derzis said Russell had submitted a statement to them via her lawyer, confirming that there was no kidnapping on July 13. Simmons then took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the situation, saying he was “disgusted” by her actions.
“I was made aware of the false narrative after coming to the defense of my ex Carlee Russell,” Simmons wrote. “Myself and my family’s nature was to react in love and genuine concern. We are disgusted from the outcome of this entire situation.”
Russell had gone missing for two days before reappearing in Hoover, Alabama, and telling law enforcement she had been kidnapped. After days of defending her, Simmons said Russell had caused “hurt, confusion, and dishonesty.”
The statement also confirmed that Russell had not seen a baby on the side of the road, as she had previously reported. Police had been unable to verify her statements about the alleged kidnapping.
The incident has left many in the community shocked and confused. It remains unclear why Russell made the false report, and what happened during the two days she was missing.
