Inside D'Andra Simmons' Relationship With Her Super Rich Family

As for her career, D'Andra Simmons has worked all over the country, but she eventually came home to take over her mother's skincare line. Dee Simmons, also known as Mama Dee, was tough on her daughter and failed to give her the keys to the business as planned. According to the Daily Dish, once her mother finally did give D'Andra the business, her daughter was quick to learn how dire things were for the company financially.

When asked if she knew why Dee didn't show her the financial records prior to giving her the company, Simmons responded, "No, I still don't know why she didn't let me see the numbers and why she kept that information from me. That's a question I don't think I'll ever have the answer to."

While D'Andra maintains a trust fund from her father, who passed away in 2009, she has trouble accessing it unless her mother approves. To keep the company afloat, the entrepreneur had to bootstrap her own funds. "I'm not somebody that gives up easily, even if I have to go through all my money," she told the outlet. "If I could sell my house, I probably would have sold my house. But I can't because it's in a trust."
