Tim Leissner is coming clean. He recently testified that he posed as his ex-wife online to dish out many lies, including convincing Kimora Lee Simmons that he wasn’t still a married man when they met.
Tim testified under oath Tuesday that he pretended for years to be his then-wife, Chinese heiress Judy Chan, TMZ reported. He also admitted sending out fake emails to his future wife, Kimora, when they started their relationship.
Apparently, he made a fake email account to act as Chan to swoon Kimora and used it to convince her he was already divorced from Chan.
The emails were presented in court and showed Kimora thought it was Chan because she invited Chan and her kids on multiple family vacations, which Tim, posing as Chan, turned down.
Kimora and Tim got married in 2014. But he has also admitted to the court that he faked divorce documents to marry Kimora while he was still married to Chan, whose family purportedly owns a top winery in China and a coal-mining business.
His bombshell testimony is part of an ongoing embezzlement trial of Tim’s former Goldman Sachs colleague, Roger Ng. Tim has also testified he used the fake email account to pose as his then-wife in conversations with Malaysian financier Jho Low.
Low has been charged with laundering billions of dollars, among other things, in a separate case.
It’s unclear if Kimora found out about Tim’s fake emails before or after he gave his testimony. But her lawyers reportedly insist she and Tim are now estranged.
