Divorce dispute escalates as woman seeks millions from former legal team

Yosi Cohen, 63, the director and co-founder of the cosmetics brand Natasha Denona, initiated divorce proceedings against Adi in Manhattan Supreme Court in 2019. The divorce remains ongoing.

Natasha Denona, founded in 2016, is a high-end cosmetics brand favored by celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Dua Lipa, and Oprah Winfrey. The brand’s namesake makeup artist has worked with stars such as Gal Gadot and Bar Refaeli.

According to a lawsuit filed October 25 in Manhattan Supreme Court, Adi claims her former legal team failed to uncover $15 million in real estate deals and secret bank accounts allegedly hidden by her husband. She alleges Yosi transferred funds to a real estate entity while falsely claiming it was acquired after the divorce began and routed money through companies, including Natasha Denona, which allegedly invested $2 million in a real estate venture on his behalf.

Adi contends that Stock and KLG missed critical deadlines, overbilled her, and prevented her from recovering the assets her husband purportedly concealed. The lawsuit states that she “was deprived of the means to develop the facts concerning the array of marital assets in this high-stakes divorce.”

She claims Stock left unopened subpoenas containing evidence of her husband’s alleged financial deception and missed a deadline in October 2023 that would have extended the financial discovery period. This missed deadline, she argues, now prevents her from contesting her share of the hidden funds.

The complaint further alleges that Stock and KLG engaged in self-dealing, billing Adi hundreds of thousands of dollars without producing tangible results.

Attorneys for Yosi Cohen, Daniel H. Stock, KLG Business Valuators and Forensic Accountants, and Natasha Denona have not responded to requests for comment. Adi Cohen’s lawyer, Karen Winner, declined to comment due to the ongoing nature of the divorce case.
