As allegations of sexual assault and misconduct loom over #RussellSimmons life and legacy in the states, the music mogul has been spending most of his time meditating and reflecting in Bali.
In the meantime, he has listed his homes in both Los Angeles and New York, and is looking to shut down his West Hollywood yoga studio that opened in 2016.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Simmons’ studio expanded across 8,000 square-feet, extended two-stories high, complete with a juice bar, a blow-dry service and a retail area. However, he’s now decided to give it up, amid the looming allegations and his subsequent frequent travel.

Simmons’ Hollywood Hills home, which was purchased in 2013 for $5.87 million and is described as a “true resort style living with thoughtful Balinese influences throughout,” is complete with a living room, family room, dining room, three en-suit bedrooms and a master suit with a fireplace, a terrace and a walk-in closet. The home also has a pool and a lower-level wine cellar.

“Russell divested himself of his active U.S. business interest last year to focus on his spiritual practice and serving his community,” a rep for the music mogul said. “As part of that journey, Russell has traveled to many spiritual destinations around the world but continues to retain active family presence and residence in the U.S.”
