Oprah wants Russell Simmons to know that she is still committed to lifting the lid on his alleged crimes against women and girls. Full story below… The African-American mogul teamed up with Apple to build a documentary detailing Russell’s crimes but announced that she was stepping away from it shortly before fans expected it to be released. Today she wants Simmons, and men and women like him, to know that they should sleep with one eye open because she has is still determined to protect survivors and potential victims by exposing them. She told CBS This Morning: “This is not a victory for Russell, I unequivocally say that I did not pull out because of Russell. This is not a victory lap for him. I cannot be silenced by a Russell Simmons after all I’ve been through.” Simmons denies all of the allegations made against him, but finds his efforts to revive his career and legacy buried under the weight of the horrific scandal. Your thoughts?
She must think we are all stupid!!!??. Its funny she has not said a word about Weinstein. Some of us are wise to her duplicity and hypocrisy.
Exactly like Oprah stfu. I never trusted her when Dave Chappelle was trying to inform how Hollywood got down early then in the 00s and she tried to imply he may in fact been crazy to walk away from 50 million yet at what cost?? All money isn’t good money by any means. Then yes there’s the Monique thing too but also how she tried to sabotage MJ legacy with those liars like no f*** her. Such buddies with Harvey yet hasn’t said a damn word and let’s not forget John Legend ass too had so much time and energy to speak on R Kelly yet they never have the same energies for their white counterparts foh the both of them ?
THIS!!!
Also Oprah why haven’t you addressed that there’s allegations of rapes happening at that all girl school you built in Africa but never built a school here in America for the youth in Chicago. Hmmm ☕️
But she can be silenced by white men.
Exactly. Harpo can sit tf down until she begins to put the same energy into “lifting the lid” on all of her white p*** buddies in Hollywood.
This is thing, I don’t think the victims should be silenced either HOWEVER these are still allegations!! I hate that she has written him off without corroborating evidence
she hasn’t written him off she is giving his victims a place to tell their stories. she’s done this countless time with her show. this is nothing new. just another case of the black community victim shaming and protecting the abuser. to this day ppl still want to protect bill and he was convicted after using his old testimony for when he was already on trial for the crime and eventually settled. ppl dont wanna hear facts they run straight to playing the race card.
It’s not victim shaming, it’s about shaming public figures for parading unverified information in the court of public opinion. It’s MESSY! The courts exist for a reason—if a billionaire wants to get involved, let her make a documentary AFTER the information has been tried in a court of law. Like WTF? I don’t even like Russell Simmons, but this whole ‘court of public opinion’ approach to LEGAL matters is sloppy and outrageous. C’mon on now.
@D Exactly right!
Oprah is pissing me off now why isn’t she time for them white p********* Zimmerman why is she crucifying her own people when she should be crucifying then white people who didn’t got away the lies you tell
Don’t f****** worry about the race. R*** and sexual abuse HAS. NO. COLOR. What are YOU not comprehending?! You’re pissed because she’s going after the black man instead of the white man? Are you seriously f****** kidding me?! These men, regardless of race, are sexual predators! You don’t know what’s in the books for the others. YOU are part of the reason why this s*** still exists today. YOU are part of the problem.
i get what most are saying but in all honesty this is how the business works. its a scandal any person in media knows the importance of getting the exclusive. there is nothing new to learn from the harvey case there’s been specials about it since it’s all been revealed. his accusers are vocal and all. the difference is nobody is supporting harvey and calling his accusers liars. nobody is victim shaming his victims outside of his lawyers. the black community has victim shamed each and every victim thats accused a black man which is why there is a need for the platform.
Yassssss!!!!!!!! This!!!!!!!!!!
Same can be said about MJ.
Ain’t nuthing to learn. Everybody already has their mind made up.
Yet he stays in her mouth.
well the accusers recanted after over 10 years and after mj being acquitted, they are currently suing the estate. the accusers never did a sit down. so yea a platform for why. she’s in media this is what she does. she’s not targeting, she’s interviewing accusers and thats something she’s always done.
That’s truly not the case. Blaming the black community for blaming victims is in very poor taste and is incredibly small minded. We live in white male supremacist society that constantly shames the victim whether it be socially via news media or politically via the courts. Yes there is certainly a trend of white women supporting this movement whilst voting for a Sexist white supremacist president. To say that black entertainers are being targeted and blaming the black community is nothing new and it perpetuates the problem. All you have to do is see the focus of the newsrooms and what stories actually get picked up. Black men being treated and promoted as superpredators is nothing new nor is propaganda used against them. Oprah is clearly showing herself. She’s more antiblack than we really know. This is the same woman who denounced rap music and black men promoting the idea that she would not allow them to be on her show. She clearly has had a motive. I believe Mo’Nique. Oprah seems like a sellout and just like Kanye it’s only a matter before she shows herself as she her head continues to balloon. If anything black people need to recognize when they don’t have a supporter sooner than later!
I don’t care what race you are, whether we share the same complexion or not. Ràpe is Ràpe and you should be exposed and put to justice. If the allegations are true and you have nothing to hide, what’s the problem?
Off course she can’t be silenced by Russel. He’s a black man.
Our point exactly.
Now go make a documentary on your buddy Harvey…
But we Black people can silence her coooooooooon a**. Bet that.
Oprah is the epitome of black excellence
Hoped she had that same energy for her friend Harvey Weinstein…
This is so weird to me…she was actually friends with Weinstein and haven’t said a peek about his 3000 cases …but yet she’s goes after Michael Jackson and Russell Simmons…
