Jet Goes Under Run’s Roof

Posted by Bossip Staff

These Simmonses, including their new addition, Miley, are featured in Jet Magazine:

Rap pioneer Joseph Rev Run Simmons and wife Justine have a reason to celebrate. In the latest season of MTV’s reality show Run’s House, the couple will proudly present the newest addition to the family cast: their adopted 10-month-old daughter Miley. In an interview with Jet magazine, the Simmonses discussed the thrill of becoming adoptive parents nearly one year after their daughter Victoria tragically passed away just hours after being born.

The couple also encouraged others who may have trouble conceiving to consider adoption as an option. “There are other women out there who can’t have babies and they keep trying. They get so caught up with ‘I gotta have my own.’ If people knew that they would get that same feeling from adoption, I think more [couples] would adopt and not go through the heartache of trying and miscarrying.”

    I think adoption is a beautiful thing. I plan on making that step when I get married, regardless of our ability to have children.

    That is wonderful,I’m glad that lil girl is getting a better chance at a wonderful life, and KUDOS to her mother for gving her up knowing that she could not do for her, that takes a lot of courage.

    That’s real talk. The love they have for each other is so evident. Remember when Run’s daughter’s were about to move to Los Angeles and their oldest brother was crying?

    That’s real right there.

    I keep trying to educate my ppl on that. Everytime I say I want to adopt I get black folks talking crazy “why you want somebody else baby”, ” it’s not like your own”, “I don’t want nobody’s baby but mine.” We can be so close minded and ignorant sometimes.

    @SUNNYDAYS,
    Run treat his kids like his own seed because they are his seeds…with the exception of Miley, of course.

    Anyway, I’m happy that they are happy and have the baby that they wanted so bad.

    I also agree about the show being staged at times, especially this season. But still, at least their not a trashy family and have values and we don’t see any kids swinging from polls and posing naked.

    It’s amazing to me that Run’s House and Deon’s show don’t get as much media coverage as other reality show families. I guess if they were more controversial it would be a different story.

    Keep it positive, Simmons. :)

    I really like this family…so wholesome.

    I think the bigger KUDOS is that Run’s House is a Black family show on MTV, a network not known for always portraying us in a good light. It shows that we don’t have to dumb ourselves down to be hip. Go Rev Run!

    This is a beautiful loving family representing for us black folks, just goes to show not all of us live or treat our kids crazy. much praise to them for adopting, that is a HUGE act of love and they will surely be rewarded for doing so. God bless them all that open their hearts and homes to needy kids, angelina jolie, madonna, nicole kidman, and the many many more famous and non famous.

    I want to know is the Simmons can adopt me, my baby daddy plus our three kids. We can live in the west wing my boys will have the maids take out the trash. Here is my thing the black community would adopt more kids IF we weren’t out here starving already. Gas is $4.67 out here. Another mouth to feed would break me. But I still love da kids.

    That is so nice of them to adopt a child. It really warms my heart for them to think of a motherless child and give him/her a home. Not too many nice things happen out here - so I want to thank them for doing something people can be proud of and hopefully some others may take their lead. Thanks to both of you and may GOD continue to BLESS your Family.

    Why the hell she name that little baby Miley?! So damn corny. The whole Simmons family is corny to be honest. Vanessa is a wanna be white actress rich little daddys girl while Angela is an uninspired unmotivated spoil brat who leeches off her older sister for her “talent” and work.. Last time I checked Angela was talking about starting her own magazine? what happened w/ that?! Oh yeah thats right she was just all talk and dropped that shit once she learned she would actually need to know how to write. Which she cant. Thats the shit I dont get w/ these celebrity brats. the black ones at least. Your parents have millions why not put your ass in a university and get a damn degree? These kids elect to be rappers like young Jojo who is really the ugliest Simmons kid. Somebody please get that kid to a dentist and a learning center. He’s obviously dumb. Russy is gay and the other little one is a gigolo in training, materialistic and rude..

    OKAY, I’LL BE THE HATER SINCE NO ONE ELSE IS TAKING THE LEAD…….

    Please, not all of us go dough to run out and adopt a BABY. Most folks have to get put on a list, wait, call, wait, visit, wait, background checks, pay, wait, pay more, wait more….then you get a 12 yr old. Which is lovely, if you were hoping to adopt a 12 yr old. But they wanted a baby so please don’t call anyone else who wants a baby opposed to a 12 yr old wrong. So to the lovely couple…..I’m happy you got exactly what you wanted, when you wanted it, but most of the folks that read Jet can’t afford the luxury.

    Now, with that said, please insert YOUR hater comments here:

    I am really disappointed in you self hating, color struck individuals. Who cares about the color of her skin, she is a gift from the Lord to the Simmons Family. This little girl has a chance at a better life. There ain’t nothing cute about having these so called pretty “red-boned” babies, that you can’t afford to take care of and don’t have no daddy in the home. Grow up! Now that’s real talk.

    Exactly kna80! Who cares about her skin color?? The fact that this beautiful black family opened their home to a black baby that needs a family is a beautiful blessing so kudos to Run and Justine. I’m sure they didn’t look at a bunch of photos and pick her because “her complexion looks like ours” ………. ridiculous.

    I gave my Opinion. I DO NOT think that the baby is cute and I never once mentioned her complexion. I also do not think that the other babies I listed are cute. They range from dark to light. Everyone has and is entitled to their own opinion. While I think Babies are a blessing from God, I don’t think they are all automatically Cute. But I do think they are all automatically precious. Everyone has a child in their family that they looked at and said “Damn, she look like such and such, Bless her Heart”

    And for the person who said that the family did not pick the baby based on features let me clue you in on how adoption works for the RICH: They get to pick EXACTLY what type of child they want and they do make a decision on looks and age. They decided they wanted a brown skin baby with similar features and guess what, they PAID for just that.
