Russell Simmons is breathing a little easier today because a rape lawsuit filed against him has been dramatically dropped.
Details below…
Filed in January by budding documentary maker Jennifer Jarosik, the $5 million suit was the first to sweep the mogul into Hollywood’s #MeToo scandal. There have since been more.
Per THR, Jarosik formally dropped her allegations as a stipulation of dismissal this morning.
She had alleged that Simmons raped her in 2016 after luring her to his house under the notion of working on a documentary.
As for his response; he asserted that their sexual relationship was completely consensual. He went on to stress that Jarosik even sent him text messages saying how much she missed him and wanted to see him again.
With both sides filing a “joint stipulation of dismissal with prejudice” today, not only does it mean the case is over – it means it can’t be re-filed.
********
60 year old Simmons is still up against a $10 million lawsuit from an anonymous woman. She claims he raped her in the late 1980s after threatening her then-young son.
Simmons (who has stepped away from all his business) totally refutes these claims and says her filing amounts to extortion. He further insists that the suit is barred by the statute of limitations.
The drama, it seems, continues.
This is man is a monster and a 1st class p**!
What makes you so sure the women are telling the truth one of them just dropped the case…..
R Kelly needs to be cleared of charges as well
Bill Cosby’s accusers just said they lied on the witness stand
Um, R. Kelly??? No dear, there’s documented proof that he’s a predator of underage girls. His case does not apply here.
Vina don’t be fooled by media. There is NO proof. The only underage girl Kelly was ever legally linked to was the wonderful Aaliyah. However, Aaliyah constantly denied there was anything more than friendship between them, Kelly refused to speak on it, and NO ONE ever even saw them kiss. This, there is no legal evidence against Kelly either. Just accusations derived from money extortion.
Mr. Simmons is a good man. I’ve met him personally and I felt very safe around him. He was very respectful. Don’t speak on what you don’t know.
Troll Alert!!!!!!!!!!
The above user with the BLURRY pic is S****** Trash.
Clearly the woman lied or else she wouldn’t have dropped her case and agreed not to re-file, so explain how Russell is a “monster” and a “first class p**”…
I want some Daddy Russell d|ck.
These whorls are always trying to extort money from black rich men. Either they putting holes in condoms to get knocked up or they lying about getting raaped. I notice they don’t try that with white rich men like Trump.
None of the rich whites ever get arrested none of the rich whites ever get charged..,.. they only blast when the blacks get charged
Exactly, the black men they call for their heads on a platter. The white men? Their sh*t is swept under the rug & their accuser automatically written off as ‘liars’ even with proof.
