NEW YORK, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For the full statement, please visit BRITTANY DUNCAN LINKEDIN KIWW.

"The claims involving Kathy Ireland have been the subject of a private legal process for more than 18 months, one to which all parties agreed," said Brittany Duncan, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of kathy ireland Worldwide. "During this time, the shareholders acted with discretion out of respect for the brand and business we built together."

"At no time did the shareholders serve as business managers for the Ireland family. All parties recognize the relationship has reached a point where separation is appropriate, and that process must be resolved through proper legal channels."

"We will address these matters in court rather than through the media and remain committed to resolving them through the appropriate judicial process."

Duncan's statement was reviewed and affirmed by fellow kathy ireland Worldwide board members and officers, including Chief Operating Officer Nic Mendoza, Chief Financial Officer Zulma Ponce, and Secretary Treasurer Mitchell Sternard.
