Ebony magazine apologizes to Russell Simmons

In the feature, “The 10 Hottest Couples” (Feb. 2008), EBONY ran an image of Russell Simmons in which he was dressed in a Halloween costume–as an ’80s rapper. The picture was presented out of context, in a story about relationships in which the magazine was celebrating his and his family’s ability to navigate children and new partners with grace. We apologize to Simmons for any discomfort this image may have caused him.
