Russell Simmons Demands Kimora Lee Simmons Produce Text Messages and Attend Deposition Amid Ongoing Legal Battle

The ongoing legal battle between Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons has taken a new turn, with Russell ramping up his efforts to obtain key documents and secure a deposition from his ex-wife. The dispute centers around allegations that Kimora used Russell’s shares of their energy drink company to bail out her former husband, Tim Leissner. Despite Russell’s previous optimism about a resolution, recent developments suggest that the two are far from reaching an agreement.

Russell is demanding that Kimora produce private text messages and appear for a deposition this month, but Kimora has not complied with his requests. Russell’s lawyer argues that the messages Kimora has provided so far are not sufficient and that he is entitled to communications between Kimora and Leissner related to financial transactions. Additionally, Russell is pushing for the deposition to take place in New York, while Kimora’s legal team insists it should be in Los Angeles, where she resides with her children.

As tensions between the former couple escalate, a judge has scheduled a hearing for October to address these issues. The outcome of this legal battle remains uncertain, as both parties seem unwilling to compromise. Stay tuned for more updates on this high-profile case.
