In a legal dispute involving Celsius Holdings, Inc., Russell Simmons reached out to his former wife, Kimora Lee Simmons, on her 50th birthday to extend a message of peace and reconciliation. He expressed a heartfelt prayer for her happiness and the resolution of any lingering conflicts between them. Simmons emphasized the importance of unity within the family, particularly focusing on the well-being of their children and shared loved ones. Despite a tumultuous post-divorce relationship, which included support during sexual misconduct allegations, a recent lawsuit filed by Russell accused Kimora and her estranged husband, Tim Leissner, of misconduct relating to a business deal involving investments in Celsius Holdings. The legal battle is scheduled for trial on January 2, 2026, in Los Angeles Superior Court.
