She’s been representing herself even now as an officer of R3 Stem Cell. She sells product, takes the customer’s monies into her own bank accounts, and then stiffs the customer who then calls us. ”

SCOTTSDALE, AZ, UNITED STATES, August 18, 2025 – R3 Stem Cell has been granted both a Restraining Order and an Injunction versus Kathleen Francesca, whose real name is Kathleen Tangcoy Legaspi. The orders were signed by a judge in the Maricopa County Superior Court. The Filing ID’s for the Orders are 19433904 and 19595382 with R3 Stem Cell being represented by Radix Law in Scottsdale, Arizona.
According to the Restraining Order, Kathleen Tangcoy Legaspi is prohibited from soliciting business from or performing services for any customer, supplier, licensee or business relation of Plaintiffs or any of their subsidiaries, induce or attempt to induce any such entity to cease doing business with Plaintiffs or any of their subsidiaries, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such entity and Plaintiffs or any of their subsidiaries.
For years, Kathleen Legaspi has been using aliases including Kathleen Francesca, Frankie Francesca, Kathleen Francesca Legaspi, Kat Kafashian, Sofia Legaspi, Sofia Tangcoy and others. These are listed on a publicly available background report. Both the Injunction and Restraining Order include her acting under those names along with the California companies she has set up. Those include Valentina Jude LLC, Nouveau Legacy Distributions LLC, K Francesca LLC, Nouveau Wellness Concierge LLC.
In the Injunction Court Order signed by a Judge, Kathleen Legaspi agreed not to participate in certain “Covered Business Activities” which included being involved in a tissue lab or making sales of regenerative biologics. In addition, she is not allowed to be part of a medical clinic or spa that offers stem cell or regenerative procedures within a defined geographic area.
R3 Stem Cell is currently suing Kathleen Francesca for alleged embezzlement of hundreds of thousands of dollars. According to R3 Stem Cell CEO David Greene, MD, PhD, MBA, “Last year we hired several forensic accountants due to quite a few large discrepancies in our domestic and international banking institutions. Kathleen Legaspi had access to those accounts, and the forensic accountants traced those irregularities back to her. We terminated her immediately, and have initiated lawsuits here in the USA and in the Philippines to hold her accountable.”
Dr. Greene added, “Even now we are fielding calls from customers who have been swindled by Kathleen Francesca. We have text and email evidence that she’s been representing herself even now as an officer of R3 Stem Cell. She sells product, takes the customer’s monies into her own bank accounts, and then stiffs the customer who then calls us about it. It’s been so overt with fake FedEx tracking numbers, phony excuses about supplier issues. Not only is it fraudulent, it’s also a violation of the Court Orders.”
He continued, “In fact, I spoke with a practice this week who relayed that Kathleen Frankie Francesca represented herself as part of R3 Stem cell and was adamant that they needed to wire monies to her personal bank account. When they refused, Kathleen relented and allowed Paypal to her personally. Thankfully, they are able to get their monies back because as usual, Kathleen Frankie Francesca got paid for an order and then stiffed the customer.”
In the meantime, Kathleen Francesca has publicized starting a new clinic in Beverly Hills known as Nouveau Wellness Concierge and a podcast called “This is Me”.
