- 0:04Speaker 1: and everybody.
- 0:06Speaker 2: You don't know if you don't lie about that. Right, Hey, y'all,
- 0:10Speaker 2: what's up. It's Lauren L. Rosa and this is the
- 0:13Speaker 2: latest with Lauren Rosa.
- 0:15Speaker 1: This is your DELI dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news,
- 0:18Speaker 1: and all of the conversations that shake the room. Baby,
- 0:22Speaker 1: now look getting in behind the scenes of the grind.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Really briefly, today was.
- 0:31Speaker 2: An off day for me. I'm gonna be honest with y'all.
- 0:35Speaker 1: I just, I don't know, just one of them days
- 0:37Speaker 1: where it's just.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Just not on. Is it just off?
- 0:41Speaker 1: I just couldn't get right about a lot of different
- 0:43Speaker 1: things today. And when I have days like this, I'm
- 0:47Speaker 1: proud of myself for number one, still like showing up,
- 0:51Speaker 1: Because if I had had a regular job that you know,
- 0:56Speaker 1: didn't require my presence so much, probably would have called
- 0:59Speaker 1: off work, probably would have buried myself in my pillow
- 1:03Speaker 1: and just took the off feeling and literally like salked
- 1:08Speaker 1: in it. But I was like, you know what, I
- 1:10Speaker 1: cannot do that. So my day started off, you know,
- 1:14Speaker 1: I was late to work this morning, and then I
- 1:16Speaker 1: feel like you know, there were just moments throughout the
- 1:18Speaker 1: day where I was just like, not myself and what
- 1:21Speaker 1: I'm learning and you know, doing all of this where
- 1:24Speaker 1: it's like you give a lot of energy out. You're
- 1:26Speaker 1: interacting with people all day. We have, you know, interviews
- 1:29Speaker 1: that we do for the Breakfast Club. It's a lot
- 1:31Speaker 1: of talking. It's a lot of information, even here on
- 1:33Speaker 1: the Latest with Lorn the Roads of the podcast as
- 1:36Speaker 1: I'm preparing, you know, to deliver news to you guys,
- 1:39Speaker 1: my Lowriders. So sometimes, you know, whenever you have real
- 1:44Speaker 1: life things going on or just I don't know, that
- 1:47Speaker 1: feeling of like today is just not my day. I'm
- 1:52Speaker 1: really trying to get better at claiming my day and
- 1:56Speaker 1: not letting my day claim me. And today I hard
- 2:01Speaker 1: to do that and I got through. Okay, it didn't
- 2:04Speaker 1: look like it has looked in the past. I've had
- 2:05Speaker 1: off days in the past on air and oh my god,
- 2:08Speaker 1: I like I thought my life was over. I'm like,
- 2:10Speaker 1: oh my god, I did so horrible today. This is
- 2:12Speaker 1: not and it's not even horrible, y'all, it's just, you know,
- 2:15Speaker 1: it's just not my normal. And I felt that another
- 2:19Speaker 1: thing too, that you know, I really want to I
- 2:22Speaker 1: told myself, you know, this morning, as I was arriving
- 2:26Speaker 1: for work and kind of feeling that like anti off pace,
- 2:28Speaker 1: you know, moving It happens when you're running late for
- 2:31Speaker 1: things and you trying to catch up and the day
- 2:33Speaker 1: you feel like the day has already began before you begin.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I told myself that I want to start doing more
- 2:40Speaker 1: of like centering practices, so like I really want to
- 2:43Speaker 1: get into meditation.
- 2:45Speaker 2: I do a.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Devotion, So my devotion is normally through worship, through a
- 2:51Speaker 1: playlist that I have a Godspel playlist that I have.
- 2:54Speaker 1: But a lot of mornings, you know, when I'm rushing
- 2:56Speaker 1: and you know, trying to I don't take the time
- 2:58Speaker 1: that I should and it matters. So this is my
- 3:02Speaker 1: word to anybody out there. It was put on my
- 3:04Speaker 1: heart to share the fact that I feel like I
- 3:06Speaker 1: had an off day today.
- 3:07Speaker 2: I didn't have to share this, but it was put.
- 3:08Speaker 1: On my heart to share it because I feel like
- 3:11Speaker 1: two of the things that I'm hearing God say to
- 3:13Speaker 1: me that I want to say to somebody out there
- 3:14Speaker 1: one of my low riders or a couple of y'all.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Number one is discipline. Discipline matters. Discipline matters, Discipline matters,
- 3:24Speaker 1: discipline matters, and anything that you were doing. And I
- 3:26Speaker 1: think God doesn't give you what you're trying to get
- 3:28Speaker 1: to until you have, you know, fully learned the discipline
- 3:35Speaker 1: in the boundary setting and you know just everything to
- 3:40Speaker 1: make what you already have cohesive and cohesively flow. And
- 3:44Speaker 1: you know, I'm learned a lot about boundaries. I'm learning
- 3:46Speaker 1: a lot about, you know, what I let pour into
- 3:49Speaker 1: my mind, my body, my soul, my spirit because of
- 3:52Speaker 1: everything I have to put out to other people, I
- 3:54Speaker 1: need to be a lot more protective of that energy.
- 3:58Speaker 2: But also I'm.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Learning a lot about how all of that like setting boundaries,
- 4:03Speaker 1: you know, creating schedules for myself, sticking to them, not
- 4:08Speaker 1: allowing certain thoughts to interrupt my day or own my
- 4:11Speaker 1: day because today that I'm off, I'm off, today's off day,
- 4:14Speaker 1: I'm running late.
- 4:15Speaker 2: It owned my day.
- 4:17Speaker 1: That's all a part of discipline, because it's all a
- 4:19Speaker 1: part of your structure and what your structure, what your
- 4:22Speaker 1: foundation is, is what flows as you do what you
- 4:25Speaker 1: do in the world.
- 4:26Speaker 2: So those are some things that are put on my
- 4:28Speaker 2: heart to share.
- 4:29Speaker 1: That's how I'm summing up how I feel right now,
- 4:31Speaker 1: but we're gonna get on into the latest. Russell Simmons
- 4:36Speaker 1: and Coremore Lee Simmons. You guys know because we talked
- 4:39Speaker 1: about it here on the podcast. The Latest with Lauryn
- 4:41Speaker 1: and Rosa have been going through it. They've had some
- 4:45Speaker 1: public back and forth more recently, which is not nothing
- 4:48Speaker 1: new for the fam. If I'm being honest with you guys,
- 4:51Speaker 1: it's not nothing new at all. But Russell Simmons is
- 4:56Speaker 1: throwing in the towel. So Russell Simmons responded back to
- 5:00Speaker 1: Komora Lee and her quick bite to People Magazine about
- 5:05Speaker 1: not having a relationship with any of her child's fathers,
- 5:07Speaker 1: as she alleges, and he says, I gave you fifty
- 5:10Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month for twenty years. I was your
- 5:12Speaker 1: best slash only friend. I'm the godfather to your other
- 5:15Speaker 1: three kids until one day you stole my Stock. They've
- 5:17Speaker 1: been going back and forth about Stock and Celsius for
- 5:19Speaker 1: some time. Russell Simmons continues and alleges that he's been
- 5:24Speaker 1: fighting for his kid's love and his bread every since.
- 5:27Speaker 1: He alleges that Komorley Simmons threatened that if he sued her,
- 5:32Speaker 1: he would never be able to speak to his kids again,
- 5:34Speaker 1: and then he ends this response with there are two
- 5:36Speaker 1: sides to every story. So that sparked it back and
- 5:38Speaker 1: forth between the two, with Komorley Simmons responding to him
- 5:43Speaker 1: outside of you know, because I had spoken to a
- 5:45Speaker 1: source close to Komora who you know, told me the
- 5:48Speaker 1: two don't have a relationship. They've gone contact lists, according
- 5:52Speaker 1: to the source, for about five years now.
- 5:55Speaker 2: My source also wanted to make it clear.
- 5:58Speaker 1: They alleged that whatever money Russell Simmons was referring to
- 6:01Speaker 1: in that post was court ordered child support from almost
- 6:05Speaker 1: a decade ago, because the children are bigger, not a gift,
- 6:08Speaker 1: and they allected that has all public information. They also
- 6:12Speaker 1: led to that Kimora never told him that he wouldn't
- 6:14Speaker 1: see his children if he suitor. From what the source
- 6:18Speaker 1: close to Kimor is telling Komorley Simmons is telling me
- 6:21Speaker 1: is that the conversation that Kimor tried to have with
- 6:25Speaker 1: him was you know, your erratic behavior, because we saw
- 6:28Speaker 1: some of the back and forth between him and you know, uh,
- 6:32Speaker 1: you know, his family online at one point, and the
- 6:35Speaker 1: source close to Komaurley Simmons is saying like that. The
- 6:37Speaker 1: conversation was just like, you know, all of this erratic
- 6:39Speaker 1: behavior is going to end up in your family and
- 6:42Speaker 1: your friends distancing themselves from you. Komorley Simmons then got
- 6:45Speaker 1: online and responded to Russell Russell simmons original comment and said,
- 6:50Speaker 1: my girls are grown women.
- 6:51Speaker 2: You know these are lies.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Why are you typing from thousands of miles away in
- 6:55Speaker 1: a non extradition country. Go negotiate and answer your accusers.
- 7:00Speaker 1: So now Russell Simmons has responded, and he's choosing peace
- 7:03Speaker 1: and love. Okay, BALI is doing him well. He posts
- 7:06Speaker 1: a collage of his daughters with him and Komrley Simmons,
- 7:10Speaker 1: and he says, I choose forgiveness, love and reconciliation. I
- 7:13Speaker 1: want to get the mess behind me. People make mistakes,
- 7:16Speaker 1: love them anyway, try to remember the good times and
- 7:19Speaker 1: move forward. And he capitalized good times at sixty eight.
- 7:23Speaker 1: I'm praying for more good times always, so I wish
- 7:27Speaker 1: them the best. I mean, I reached back out to
- 7:29Speaker 1: my source close to Komorley Simmons on this because when
- 7:31Speaker 1: I saw it, I'm like, I hope that this means,
- 7:33Speaker 1: you know, whether it was because of their daughters, you know,
- 7:36Speaker 1: initiated by their daughters or initiated from whatever side that
- 7:40Speaker 1: they've had a conversation. They are raising two beautiful girls together.
- 7:43Speaker 1: I mean, the girls are grown, but they're still their parents,
- 7:46Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So there's still a certain
- 7:48Speaker 1: level of y'all are connected, you know. But from what
- 7:53Speaker 1: I am told, this does not mean that they've had
- 7:55Speaker 1: any reconciliation behind the scenes or any conversation.
- 7:58Speaker 2: So wishing them the best. Now.
- 8:01Speaker 1: In other news, speaking of things that needed some conversation
- 8:05Speaker 1: and potential reconciliation, you guys remember that story of the
- 8:10Speaker 1: Astronomer ceo.
- 8:12Speaker 2: So there's this guy who was a big CEO of this.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Big company called Astronomer, and he and a woman were
- 8:18Speaker 1: out at a Coldplay concert and they went viral on
- 8:20Speaker 1: the jumbo tron because they were all buwed up on
- 8:23Speaker 1: the jumbo tron. Now, they didn't go viral because they
- 8:26Speaker 1: were all bued up. They made the jumbo tron because
- 8:29Speaker 1: they were all buwed up. But they went viral because
- 8:31Speaker 1: someone recognized the two and realized that this guy, Andy Byron,
- 8:36Speaker 1: was the CEO of a company called Astronomer, and this woman,
- 8:40Speaker 1: Christine Cabot, was another person who worked for the same company, Astronomers. Now,
- 8:47Speaker 1: her title at the time was Chief People Officer, so
- 8:50Speaker 1: she kind of worked on like the HR or people
- 8:52Speaker 1: side of the company.
- 8:53Speaker 2: He was CEO.
- 8:54Speaker 1: Now, the issue with the relationship not just them working
- 8:57Speaker 1: together and wondering if there's a issue there. It had
- 9:00Speaker 1: been reported that both of these two people were married,
- 9:03Speaker 1: and so it was alleged that this was like the
- 9:05Speaker 1: secret affair that had got blown up at the Coldplay concert.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Headlines went crazy.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Andy Byron, you know, big tech guy from Astronomer, resigned
- 9:17Speaker 1: from the company right after the video went viral back
- 9:20Speaker 1: in July of this year, and there wasn't much out
- 9:25Speaker 1: there about, you know, like where the woman in this situation,
- 9:32Speaker 1: Christine Cabot, ended up. But now she is talking to
- 9:34Speaker 1: The New York Times and she's revealing some things she
- 9:37Speaker 1: went through during the time. So Christine Cabot told The
- 9:40Speaker 1: New York Times that she understands that she made a
- 9:42Speaker 1: bad choice, but she's saying that they were never dating
- 9:46Speaker 1: and they are not dating currently. She alleges that they
- 9:49Speaker 1: had a few drinks that night at a concert and
- 9:51Speaker 1: made a bad decision to be all brewed up and
- 9:54Speaker 1: dancing on each other at a concert. She's blaming it
- 9:56Speaker 1: on an alcohol So Christine Cabot tells The New York Times,
- 10:02Speaker 1: I made a bad decision and had a couple of
- 10:03Speaker 1: high news and danced and acted inappropriately with my boss.
- 10:07Speaker 2: And it's not nothing.
- 10:08Speaker 1: And I took accountability and I gave up my career
- 10:11Speaker 1: for that, the price I chose to pay, she says,
- 10:14Speaker 1: Christine Cabot, I want my kids to know that you
- 10:16Speaker 1: can make a mistake, and you can really screw up,
- 10:18Speaker 1: but you don't have to be threatened to.
- 10:21Speaker 2: Be killed for them.
- 10:23Speaker 1: So again, when this broke, there were a lot of
- 10:27Speaker 1: questions here about, you know, whether two still married to
- 10:31Speaker 1: their perspective significant others, what was happening where they're going
- 10:35Speaker 1: to say, at the company? And I said the company.
- 10:36Speaker 1: And then things started to like tumble and unfold. We
- 10:39Speaker 1: now know, cause it was like reported briefly, but Andy
- 10:45Speaker 1: Byron never fully addressed this part of it, and Christine
- 10:48Speaker 1: Cabbot said nothing at the time. But now in the
- 10:51Speaker 1: New York Times, she's telling The New York Times that
- 10:53Speaker 1: they were both actually separated from their respective spouses, and
- 10:57Speaker 1: at the time, the internet didn't know that so because
- 10:59Speaker 1: the Internet didn't know that she was dragged as a homewrecker.
- 11:03Speaker 1: She told The New York Times that she was stalked
- 11:05Speaker 1: by Papa Rozzi, that she received five to six hundred
- 11:07Speaker 1: phone calls a day, and that she received a dozen
- 11:10Speaker 1: of death threats after the incident unfolded. She even went
- 11:13Speaker 1: on to continue to tell The New York Times that Astronomer,
- 11:16Speaker 1: which was the tech company that they were both working for,
- 11:18Speaker 1: told her that she actually could have returned to her role, because.
- 11:21Speaker 2: That was the question.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Like, I was in contact with Astronomer at the time
- 11:26Speaker 1: they sent me over the statement when Andy Byron decided
- 11:30Speaker 1: to resigned, and then you know, talking about the new
- 11:32Speaker 1: person who would kind of take over his role. But
- 11:34Speaker 1: they never answered my questions about Christine Cabin and what
- 11:37Speaker 1: her future at the company looked like. But now we
- 11:39Speaker 1: know that they offered her her job to keep her
- 11:41Speaker 1: job and return to her role, but she says that
- 11:44Speaker 1: she thought it was best for her to leave her
- 11:45Speaker 1: career at this time. She tells The New York Times
- 11:49Speaker 1: she has not yet returned to work in all of
- 11:50Speaker 1: these months, and she admits that a lot of her
- 11:53Speaker 1: professional connections turned their back on her and don't want
- 11:56Speaker 1: anything to do with her.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Listen, If you ain't learning nothing from this episode today.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Please just be very mindful about who you get your body,
- 12:05Speaker 1: your energy, and your spirits to. Okay, period like at all. Discipline, discipline, discipline. Now,
- 12:11Speaker 1: in the beginning of this episode, that's what I was
- 12:13Speaker 1: talking to you guys about discipline. For me, it's more
- 12:15Speaker 1: of like a time thing and just realizing I can't
- 12:17Speaker 1: save the world. Okay, I can't. I can't solve everybody's problems,
- 12:22Speaker 1: and when I take the time to try and do it,
- 12:23Speaker 1: I'm taking time away from something I.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Should be figuring out from my dang self. Okay.
- 12:28Speaker 1: But we ended with talking about a different type of discipline.
- 12:30Speaker 1: You can call it the d discipline, the kiddy discipline. Yeah,
- 12:35Speaker 1: make me, I mean, things happen, mis stakes happen, all
- 12:39Speaker 1: of that. But if you gotta make a choice, please
- 12:42Speaker 1: choose peace, Please choose yourself.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Please choose to I don't know, just choose to not.
- 12:48Speaker 1: And if you're gonna do it, don't do it at
- 12:50Speaker 1: a Cold Play concert where the jumbo tron can hit
- 12:52Speaker 1: you at any point.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Okay, that's it, that's all.
