Deny, deny, deny...
TMZ reports that Russell Simmons has denied claims that he stole millions of dollars from his ex-business partner's sneaker company, and thinks the accusations are from a "disgruntled" employee.
Former Run Athletics President Rasheed Young threatened to sue Simmons and Reverend Run, claiming the two secretly funneled revenue from the company into a separate account.
While out in Los Angeles, Simmons told TMZ that the claims are "not true". He added: "[Rasheed] worked for me ... I fought to keep his job ... and I'm sorry he's disgruntled, but that's what happens. Anyone can say anything if a celebrity's name's attached to it ... there's nothing I can do about it ... it's false. We never stole any money from anybody."
