Speaker 1: I'm a homegrow that knows a little bit about everything
Speaker 1: and everybody.
Speaker 2: You don't know if you don't lie about that. Right, Hey, y'all,
Speaker 2: what's up. It's Lauren L. Rosa and this is the
Speaker 2: latest with Lauren Rosa.
Speaker 1: This is your DELI dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news,
Speaker 1: and all of the conversations that shake the room. Baby,
Speaker 1: now look getting in behind the scenes of the grind.
Speaker 1: Really briefly, today was.
Speaker 2: An off day for me. I'm gonna be honest with y'all.
Speaker 1: I just, I don't know, just one of them days
Speaker 1: where it's just.
Speaker 2: Just not on. Is it just off?
Speaker 1: I just couldn't get right about a lot of different
Speaker 1: things today. And when I have days like this, I'm
Speaker 1: proud of myself for number one, still like showing up,
Speaker 1: Because if I had had a regular job that you know,
Speaker 1: didn't require my presence so much, probably would have called
Speaker 1: off work, probably would have buried myself in my pillow
Speaker 1: and just took the off feeling and literally like salked
Speaker 1: in it. But I was like, you know what, I
Speaker 1: cannot do that. So my day started off, you know,
Speaker 1: I was late to work this morning, and then I
Speaker 1: feel like you know, there were just moments throughout the
Speaker 1: day where I was just like, not myself and what
Speaker 1: I'm learning and you know, doing all of this where
Speaker 1: it's like you give a lot of energy out. You're
Speaker 1: interacting with people all day. We have, you know, interviews
Speaker 1: that we do for the Breakfast Club. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of talking. It's a lot of information, even here on
Speaker 1: the Latest with Lorn the Roads of the podcast as
Speaker 1: I'm preparing, you know, to deliver news to you guys,
Speaker 1: my Lowriders. So sometimes, you know, whenever you have real
Speaker 1: life things going on or just I don't know, that
Speaker 1: feeling of like today is just not my day. I'm
Speaker 1: really trying to get better at claiming my day and
Speaker 1: not letting my day claim me. And today I hard
Speaker 1: to do that and I got through. Okay, it didn't
Speaker 1: look like it has looked in the past. I've had
Speaker 1: off days in the past on air and oh my god,
Speaker 1: I like I thought my life was over. I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I did so horrible today. This is
Speaker 1: not and it's not even horrible, y'all, it's just, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just not my normal. And I felt that another
Speaker 1: thing too, that you know, I really want to I
Speaker 1: told myself, you know, this morning, as I was arriving
Speaker 1: for work and kind of feeling that like anti off pace,
Speaker 1: you know, moving It happens when you're running late for
Speaker 1: things and you trying to catch up and the day
Speaker 1: you feel like the day has already began before you begin.
Speaker 1: I told myself that I want to start doing more
Speaker 1: of like centering practices, so like I really want to
Speaker 1: get into meditation.
Speaker 2: I do a.
Speaker 1: Devotion, So my devotion is normally through worship, through a
Speaker 1: playlist that I have a Godspel playlist that I have.
Speaker 1: But a lot of mornings, you know, when I'm rushing
Speaker 1: and you know, trying to I don't take the time
Speaker 1: that I should and it matters. So this is my
Speaker 1: word to anybody out there. It was put on my
Speaker 1: heart to share the fact that I feel like I
Speaker 1: had an off day today.
Speaker 2: I didn't have to share this, but it was put.
Speaker 1: On my heart to share it because I feel like
Speaker 1: two of the things that I'm hearing God say to
Speaker 1: me that I want to say to somebody out there
Speaker 1: one of my low riders or a couple of y'all.
Speaker 1: Number one is discipline. Discipline matters. Discipline matters, Discipline matters,
Speaker 1: discipline matters, and anything that you were doing. And I
Speaker 1: think God doesn't give you what you're trying to get
Speaker 1: to until you have, you know, fully learned the discipline
Speaker 1: in the boundary setting and you know just everything to
Speaker 1: make what you already have cohesive and cohesively flow. And
Speaker 1: you know, I'm learned a lot about boundaries. I'm learning
Speaker 1: a lot about, you know, what I let pour into
Speaker 1: my mind, my body, my soul, my spirit because of
Speaker 1: everything I have to put out to other people, I
Speaker 1: need to be a lot more protective of that energy.
Speaker 2: But also I'm.
Speaker 1: Learning a lot about how all of that like setting boundaries,
Speaker 1: you know, creating schedules for myself, sticking to them, not
Speaker 1: allowing certain thoughts to interrupt my day or own my
Speaker 1: day because today that I'm off, I'm off, today's off day,
Speaker 1: I'm running late.
Speaker 2: It owned my day.
Speaker 1: That's all a part of discipline, because it's all a
Speaker 1: part of your structure and what your structure, what your
Speaker 1: foundation is, is what flows as you do what you
Speaker 1: do in the world.
Speaker 2: So those are some things that are put on my
Speaker 2: heart to share.
Speaker 1: That's how I'm summing up how I feel right now,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna get on into the latest. Russell Simmons
Speaker 1: and Coremore Lee Simmons. You guys know because we talked
Speaker 1: about it here on the podcast. The Latest with Lauryn
Speaker 1: and Rosa have been going through it. They've had some
Speaker 1: public back and forth more recently, which is not nothing
Speaker 1: new for the fam. If I'm being honest with you guys,
Speaker 1: it's not nothing new at all. But Russell Simmons is
Speaker 1: throwing in the towel. So Russell Simmons responded back to
Speaker 1: Komora Lee and her quick bite to People Magazine about
Speaker 1: not having a relationship with any of her child's fathers,
Speaker 1: as she alleges, and he says, I gave you fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month for twenty years. I was your
Speaker 1: best slash only friend. I'm the godfather to your other
Speaker 1: three kids until one day you stole my Stock. They've
Speaker 1: been going back and forth about Stock and Celsius for
Speaker 1: some time. Russell Simmons continues and alleges that he's been
Speaker 1: fighting for his kid's love and his bread every since.
Speaker 1: He alleges that Komorley Simmons threatened that if he sued her,
Speaker 1: he would never be able to speak to his kids again,
Speaker 1: and then he ends this response with there are two
Speaker 1: sides to every story. So that sparked it back and
Speaker 1: forth between the two, with Komorley Simmons responding to him
Speaker 1: outside of you know, because I had spoken to a
Speaker 1: source close to Komora who you know, told me the
Speaker 1: two don't have a relationship. They've gone contact lists, according
Speaker 1: to the source, for about five years now.
Speaker 2: My source also wanted to make it clear.
Speaker 1: They alleged that whatever money Russell Simmons was referring to
Speaker 1: in that post was court ordered child support from almost
Speaker 1: a decade ago, because the children are bigger, not a gift,
Speaker 1: and they allected that has all public information. They also
Speaker 1: led to that Kimora never told him that he wouldn't
Speaker 1: see his children if he suitor. From what the source
Speaker 1: close to Kimor is telling Komorley Simmons is telling me
Speaker 1: is that the conversation that Kimor tried to have with
Speaker 1: him was you know, your erratic behavior, because we saw
Speaker 1: some of the back and forth between him and you know, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, his family online at one point, and the
Speaker 1: source close to Komaurley Simmons is saying like that. The
Speaker 1: conversation was just like, you know, all of this erratic
Speaker 1: behavior is going to end up in your family and
Speaker 1: your friends distancing themselves from you. Komorley Simmons then got
Speaker 1: online and responded to Russell Russell simmons original comment and said,
Speaker 1: my girls are grown women.
Speaker 2: You know these are lies.
Speaker 1: Why are you typing from thousands of miles away in
Speaker 1: a non extradition country. Go negotiate and answer your accusers.
Speaker 1: So now Russell Simmons has responded, and he's choosing peace
Speaker 1: and love. Okay, BALI is doing him well. He posts
Speaker 1: a collage of his daughters with him and Komrley Simmons,
Speaker 1: and he says, I choose forgiveness, love and reconciliation. I
Speaker 1: want to get the mess behind me. People make mistakes,
Speaker 1: love them anyway, try to remember the good times and
Speaker 1: move forward. And he capitalized good times at sixty eight.
Speaker 1: I'm praying for more good times always, so I wish
Speaker 1: them the best. I mean, I reached back out to
Speaker 1: my source close to Komorley Simmons on this because when
Speaker 1: I saw it, I'm like, I hope that this means,
Speaker 1: you know, whether it was because of their daughters, you know,
Speaker 1: initiated by their daughters or initiated from whatever side that
Speaker 1: they've had a conversation. They are raising two beautiful girls together.
Speaker 1: I mean, the girls are grown, but they're still their parents,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So there's still a certain
Speaker 1: level of y'all are connected, you know. But from what
Speaker 1: I am told, this does not mean that they've had
Speaker 1: any reconciliation behind the scenes or any conversation.
Speaker 2: So wishing them the best. Now.
Speaker 1: In other news, speaking of things that needed some conversation
Speaker 1: and potential reconciliation, you guys remember that story of the
Speaker 1: Astronomer ceo.
Speaker 2: So there's this guy who was a big CEO of this.
Speaker 1: Big company called Astronomer, and he and a woman were
Speaker 1: out at a Coldplay concert and they went viral on
Speaker 1: the jumbo tron because they were all buwed up on
Speaker 1: the jumbo tron. Now, they didn't go viral because they
Speaker 1: were all bued up. They made the jumbo tron because
Speaker 1: they were all buwed up. But they went viral because
Speaker 1: someone recognized the two and realized that this guy, Andy Byron,
Speaker 1: was the CEO of a company called Astronomer, and this woman,
Speaker 1: Christine Cabot, was another person who worked for the same company, Astronomers. Now,
Speaker 1: her title at the time was Chief People Officer, so
Speaker 1: she kind of worked on like the HR or people
Speaker 1: side of the company.
Speaker 2: He was CEO.
Speaker 1: Now, the issue with the relationship not just them working
Speaker 1: together and wondering if there's a issue there. It had
Speaker 1: been reported that both of these two people were married,
Speaker 1: and so it was alleged that this was like the
Speaker 1: secret affair that had got blown up at the Coldplay concert.
Speaker 2: Headlines went crazy.
Speaker 1: Andy Byron, you know, big tech guy from Astronomer, resigned
Speaker 1: from the company right after the video went viral back
Speaker 1: in July of this year, and there wasn't much out
Speaker 1: there about, you know, like where the woman in this situation,
Speaker 1: Christine Cabot, ended up. But now she is talking to
Speaker 1: The New York Times and she's revealing some things she
Speaker 1: went through during the time. So Christine Cabot told The
Speaker 1: New York Times that she understands that she made a
Speaker 1: bad choice, but she's saying that they were never dating
Speaker 1: and they are not dating currently. She alleges that they
Speaker 1: had a few drinks that night at a concert and
Speaker 1: made a bad decision to be all brewed up and
Speaker 1: dancing on each other at a concert. She's blaming it
Speaker 1: on an alcohol So Christine Cabot tells The New York Times,
Speaker 1: I made a bad decision and had a couple of
Speaker 1: high news and danced and acted inappropriately with my boss.
Speaker 2: And it's not nothing.
Speaker 1: And I took accountability and I gave up my career
Speaker 1: for that, the price I chose to pay, she says,
Speaker 1: Christine Cabot, I want my kids to know that you
Speaker 1: can make a mistake, and you can really screw up,
Speaker 1: but you don't have to be threatened to.
Speaker 2: Be killed for them.
Speaker 1: So again, when this broke, there were a lot of
Speaker 1: questions here about, you know, whether two still married to
Speaker 1: their perspective significant others, what was happening where they're going
Speaker 1: to say, at the company? And I said the company.
Speaker 1: And then things started to like tumble and unfold. We
Speaker 1: now know, cause it was like reported briefly, but Andy
Speaker 1: Byron never fully addressed this part of it, and Christine
Speaker 1: Cabbot said nothing at the time. But now in the
Speaker 1: New York Times, she's telling The New York Times that
Speaker 1: they were both actually separated from their respective spouses, and
Speaker 1: at the time, the internet didn't know that so because
Speaker 1: the Internet didn't know that she was dragged as a homewrecker.
Speaker 1: She told The New York Times that she was stalked
Speaker 1: by Papa Rozzi, that she received five to six hundred
Speaker 1: phone calls a day, and that she received a dozen
Speaker 1: of death threats after the incident unfolded. She even went
Speaker 1: on to continue to tell The New York Times that Astronomer,
Speaker 1: which was the tech company that they were both working for,
Speaker 1: told her that she actually could have returned to her role, because.
Speaker 2: That was the question.
Speaker 1: Like, I was in contact with Astronomer at the time
Speaker 1: they sent me over the statement when Andy Byron decided
Speaker 1: to resigned, and then you know, talking about the new
Speaker 1: person who would kind of take over his role. But
Speaker 1: they never answered my questions about Christine Cabin and what
Speaker 1: her future at the company looked like. But now we
Speaker 1: know that they offered her her job to keep her
Speaker 1: job and return to her role, but she says that
Speaker 1: she thought it was best for her to leave her
Speaker 1: career at this time. She tells The New York Times
Speaker 1: she has not yet returned to work in all of
Speaker 1: these months, and she admits that a lot of her
Speaker 1: professional connections turned their back on her and don't want
Speaker 1: anything to do with her.
Speaker 2: Listen, If you ain't learning nothing from this episode today.
Speaker 1: Please just be very mindful about who you get your body,
Speaker 1: your energy, and your spirits to. Okay, period like at all. Discipline, discipline, discipline. Now,
Speaker 1: in the beginning of this episode, that's what I was
Speaker 1: talking to you guys about discipline. For me, it's more
Speaker 1: of like a time thing and just realizing I can't
Speaker 1: save the world. Okay, I can't. I can't solve everybody's problems,
Speaker 1: and when I take the time to try and do it,
Speaker 1: I'm taking time away from something I.
Speaker 2: Should be figuring out from my dang self. Okay.
Speaker 1: But we ended with talking about a different type of discipline.
Speaker 1: You can call it the d discipline, the kiddy discipline. Yeah,
Speaker 1: make me, I mean, things happen, mis stakes happen, all
Speaker 1: of that. But if you gotta make a choice, please
Speaker 1: choose peace, Please choose yourself.
Speaker 2: Please choose to I don't know, just choose to not.
Speaker 1: And if you're gonna do it, don't do it at
Speaker 1: a Cold Play concert where the jumbo tron can hit
Speaker 1: you at any point.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's it, that's all.
