Russell Simmons saw his legacy crumble beyond repair when a large group of vulnerable women stepped forward to accuse him of sexual assault.
Keen to shed light on his alleged predation? Oprah Winfrey and her partners at Apple TV.
Today, after facing claims that she was highlighting the deeds of black sexual predators and turning a blind eye to their white counterparts, Winfrey has stepped away from the documentary she was producing to lift the lid of Simmons’ alleged dirty deeds.
I can’t believe this man just violated me like I was nothing.
He pushed me on the bed and jumped on top of me, and physically attacked me.
Just two lines pulled from the stories of numerous women and girls who say the Hip-Hop mogul violated their bodies. Today, there are fears that said stories may be buried under the weight of silence now that Winfrey has pulled the plug on the documentary she was creating to give voice to them.
She explained why….
In my opinion, there is more work to be done on the film to illuminate the full scope of what the victims endured and it has become clear that the filmmakers and I are not aligned in that creative vision.
She insists that she believes the women who have accused Simmons of assault and feels that their stories deserve to be heard.
I unequivocally believe and support the women. Their stories deserve to be told and heard.
Simmons denies any wrongdoing.
I vehemently deny all the allegations made against me. They have shocked me to my core as I have never been abusive or violent in any way in my relations with women. I am blessed to have shared extraordinary relationships, whether through work or love, with many great women and I have enormous respect for the women’s movement worldwide and their struggle for respect, dignity, equality and power. I am devastated by any reason I may have given to anyone to say or think of me in the ways that are currently being described.
Alas…

Until Hypocrite HARPO cuts the phony Times-Up pretense of “unequivocal support”, and instead scrutinize her own actual sleazy friends, acquaintances and bedfellows, she needs to stfu.
Yea she exercises her demons on men who look like & remind her of her own childhood mo!3ster (her brother), but still remains silent on other prominent industry predators like Harvey Weinstein, Woody Allen, Bryan Singer, Brett Ratner etc. etc. etc. etc…
@Fast.. – You have an interesting perspective. There may be something to your statements.
I don’t care for Oprah anymore she part of the Illuminati and fake As f***
Oprah believes without fact checking, like the stories she believed from that fake memoir she had on her book list, and recently MJ’s accusers who can’t get their facts and timelines straight. Why is Oprah accepting the word of Russell’s accusers without listening to his side? She’s worried about covering the “full scope” of the accusations when she doesn’t have the full scope of the story itself. Oprah has no business in journalism if she’s going to listen only to one side and tell only one side. Fact check!!
One of the accusers is my sister! She was the very first known victim of Russell! My sister has more evidence than any other accuser! She was one of the first lady’s and pioneers of hip hop and managed by him. He is so scared she is a part of this documentary that it has literally scared Russell Simmons all the way to Indonesia! She has physical proof, and documentation of when the incident occurred and a witness who is now a prosecutor that was with her when it happened. Oprah messed up with Michael, and now she has backed out in fear of the backlash she will get for only going after black celebrities! Her credibility is already at stake. These women deserve better anyway! They deserved to be heard and Russell deserves the opportunity to explain himself! Russell knows what he did otherwise he wouldn’t be trying to bribe And shut his victims up like he has been doing for years! He also wouldn’t be hiding in an entirely different country on the other side of the continent. Man up and sit with these ladies face to face if you are so innocent!
I love Oprah, she is truly an open minded, citizen of the world who knows exactly what life is all about. Which is why she’s so intelligent, so multi cultured and so successful. Huge inspiration.
Agree 100%. Oprah is also a true example of the American dream, someone who came from absolutely nothing and built her own empire. I know she has a lot of haters but I think that’s a shame. Those who disagree with her on certain things should stop being so judgmental and stop holding people to a standard that is their idea of perfection. Regardless of whether she makes some mistakes in your eyes, it is beyond me how some people can’t appreciate the fact that she was able to accomplish everything she accomplished regardless of her physical attributes and disadvantages.
I don’t care for Oprah since she sided with MJ’s accusers. She is a 2 faced DEMON.
Like the song by MJ says “you will do anything for money.”
#cancel Oprah
