Russell Simmons has vehemently denied claims that he and the creative Brett Ratner molested a teenage girl in 1991.
I completely and unequivocally deny the horrendous allegations of non-consensual sex against me with every fiber of my being.
However, his strong denial has been met with condemnation and confusion from the actor Terry Crews who- after vowing to support victims of sexual abuse following his own experience at a Hollywood party- has claimed Simmons worked hard to stop him from coming forward with his story.
Details below…
An excerpt from the Los Angeles’ time story on the alleged assault reads….
They took Khalighi to dinner one night in 1991 at Mr. Chow in New York, and then back to Simmons’ apartment to show her a music video they’d been working on.
Quickly, Simmons began making aggressive sexual advances, yanking off her clothes, Khalighi said.
“I looked over at Brett and said ‘help me’ and I’ll never forget the look on his face,” she recalled. “In that moment, the realization fell on me that they were in it together.”
Khalighi said that Simmons, who was then about twice her age, tried to force her to have intercourse. “I fought it wildly,” she said. He eventually relented and coerced her to perform oral sex, she alleged. “I guess I just acquiesced.”
Ratner, meanwhile, “just sat there and watched,” she said.
Feeling “disgusting,” Khalighi said she went to take a shower. Minutes later, she alleged, Simmons walked up behind her in the shower and briefly penetrated her without her consent. She said she jerked away, then he left. “It hurt so much.”
Simmons offered this statement in response…
Everything that occurred between Keri and me occurred with her full consent and participation.
Ratner, who is currently under fire after four other women accused him of assaulting them, supported Simmons’ side of the story.
Who isn’t backing them up? Mr. Crews.

Story not clearly explained
Brett Ratner is a prolific pervert and is accused of assaulting several women. One woman has said he was there when Russ attacked her. Russ denies but Terry thinks it’s shady because the same Russ randomly wanted him to keep quiet about the time he was abused.
And that’s it in a nutshell.
Uncle Russ! Wow.
Chile, it’s getting absolutely crazy out here!

Good for you Terry! Brushing things under the rug days are over!
Never trusted Russell, and the email says it all. I am speaking up now for everything that was done wrong to me.
It’s about time everyone clear their minds of these horrible acts, that was brought unto them by these sick individuals.
By the way, Terry’s family is huge, but beautiful.
That’s ridiculous.
Hearing all these allegations and recollections of events has me even mad at SAG-Aftra. They need to do more to protect the performers and even educate young actors not yet enrolled in the union on what is and isn’t acceptable audition practices. There should also have to be a SAG employee on location of all SAG movies to serve as a sort of HR.
But who can you trust to do that . We all know how fast one of these wealthy perverts would use their power to control who that person was.
Don’t know…maybe you have a new one on set everyday so that there’s always a freshest of eyes. But it would be hard for shoots that take place out of the country. After watching “An Open Secret” i don’t even trust SAG all that much, but since they are THE union it’s on them to clean house of corrupt individuals and start to enforce stricter practices to create safer working conditions. They have to at least try.
I hope he is not ending his nonexistent career.
Kimora waz underage when he got w her. No surprise
