I think we all seen this 1 coming :sas1:


His words to Terry Crews were creepy enough on their own. With new accusations poppin up he may as well just go ahead and clear out his cubicle cuz I'm sure one of his victims has receipts.

** RS has supported some good liberal causes and on the surface was somewhat of an example of a successful black man. However, this is one person that even I heard (via 2nd and 3rd parties) was shytty towards some women...... so eff RS and his damn Rush Card :pacspit: **

Russell Simmons, a prolific music and TV producer and co-founder of Def Jam Recordings, was accused of sexual assault and harassment by model Keri Claussen Khalighi in a Nov. 19 article in the Los Angeles Times. Simmons, who denied the claim to the Times, is now elaborating on the incident in a letter to The Hollywood Reporter, which can be read in full below.



Humanity is going through a powerful and wrenching shift of consciousness that I believe will ultimately lead to a mass awakening in all humankind.


Like all lasting change, this transition is filled with painful disruption and confrontation against an entrenched system. It may sound odd to some that I am encouraged about this time in our history, but I am. The daily news detailing the growing number of experiences of women being victimized are being brought to the light. I do not doubt that the vast majority of the allegations these brave survivors are sharing are true and dignified. I see their stories giving a voice to the voiceless, which has been the central theme of my life’s journey.


I also know from recent painful personal experience that some recollections can be cast in a light away from the actual facts.


In my case, three witnesses [Anthony McNair and two anonymous witnesses] have signed statements that our experiences that weekend with Keri Claussen Khalighi 26 years ago were consensual. My longtime loathing of any form of violence and abuse has been woven into all of my personal interactions, as most who know me will attest.


In our meeting many years later, and subsequent conversations, Keri never accused me of what she has said publicly. She insisted I was not violent. She did tell me her boyfriend and many others found out about our long weekend together and she said she was ashamed by that discovery. I am sorry for the embarrassment she recounted to me.


I have made choices that have offended some of the women in my life. It’s not cool to be a playboy and a new consciousness understands this. Now, as I hear these voices, I do as well. Though never abusive in any way, my remarks were often cavalier and thoughtless, and for this I am humbled. I am a work in progress. I am human. The fact that I come from the world of music or a specific place or generation justifies nothing.


That has been an ongoing deep transition in my life. As a yogi I believe intent is very important. My intent always came from a joyful, playful place. I can sleep at night because I know who I am. And I know who I was. I never committed any acts of aggression or violence in my life. I would never knowingly cause fear or harm to anyone. For any women from my past who I may have offended, I sincerely apologize. I am still evolving.


As the dialogue progresses, let's not lose sight of what's truly happening, a shift in power and all that entails. I want that shift. It must lead to a space where women and also men can heal, even if it means attacking me. I remain an activist for women's rights and all things unjust. This is my life's work and journey, and God knows my heart. To all the #MeToo campaigns and women around the world, I support your healing and will continue to be an honest and imperfect advocate for the voiceless (including animals) and humanity as a whole.





Actually this wasn't a bad statement :ehh:


I don't like Russ but I don't think he raped anybody

I'm not sure what Russ did or didn't do but in that statement, but in this letter he's hiding behind new age yogi vegan language.

If he spoke from the heart it would sound more genuine.
I've made post here about people ditching one crutch for another.....I 've read apologies from Christian public figures who have been accused of things and it's almost the same letter. Just replace the new age words with biblical references.

The Amanda Diva tweet was cryptic.,,,but it makes sense now

expect more accusations

And I think Russ adjusted his finances knowing this was coming. Protect his assets from the soon to filed civil lawsuits....I think.

Nine new women have come forward alleging sexual misconduct or assault by music mogul Russell Simmons. Four say Simmons raped them.

In a story published Wednesday by The New York Times, four new women detailed a pattern of alleged violent sexual behavior by Simmons, 60, disclosing incidents from 1988 to 2014.

The Los Angeles Times followed shortly after with accounts from five additional women accusing Simmons of sexual misconduct over three decades.

"I vehemently deny all these allegations," Simmons said in a statement sent to USA TODAY by his rep, Steve Elzer. "These horrific accusations have shocked me to my core and all of my relations have been consensual."

The new allegations follow two accusations of sexual assault previously reported by the Los Angeles Times and The Hollywood Reporter.
