Accusations are becoming weaponizedOne of his main accusers wanted him to help promote her book, and when he didn't only then did she accuse him of rape.

‘I Shut My Eyes and Waited for It to End’
Ms. Baker, the singer, thought Mr. Simmons could elevate her career as her new manager. She had performed as a backup vocalist for Madonna and Bruce Springsteen, and, as Tina B, released pop and dance records in the 1980s.
One night in late 1990 or early 1991, she ran into Mr. Simmons at a club, and he invited her back to his apartment to discuss her career. “I didn’t think anything of going,” Ms. Baker said, having been there many times without incident.
This time, though, “it all got really ugly, pretty fast,” Ms. Baker said. As soon as they entered, Mr. Simmons started pouring drinks and trying to kiss her, leading to a scuffle, she said. She recalled “him on top of me, pushing me down and him saying, ‘Don’t fight me,’” Ms. Baker said. She was pinned on the bed. “I did nothing, I shut my eyes and waited for it to end.”
Imagine his daughters having to read that?
Music Mogul Russell Simmons Is Accused of Rape by 3 Women
yeah. I don’t get this whole let’s defend a predator cuz he’s a black man wave. Russell gotta hold his own nuts on this one. If he did it he gotta own up to it.
now I do believe they need to keep the same energy for the Weinsteins of the world. But you can want that and NOT feel the need to defend Russell. That nikka wouldn’t give two fukks about any of us.
just curious but why do you believe these events happened? Do you know anything about the women what makes them more credible than Russell? Do they stand to gain anything from this? When did this happen?

That's not true. The Cosby Show reruns have been pulled from many networks.
R Kelly's songs may still play on some stations from time to time but as good as the music is it makes it hard to enjoy. It's almost feels wrong listening to them.
This will sour his legacy for sure and make it hard for the young people coming up who want to get in the industry to respect him.

I'm going to watch the documentary and find out but an innocent man wouldn't just move to never ever island out the blue. I think he did something personally based on his movements.

Or maybe he saw Cosby and Kells and got noid.All this shyt happened decades ago I would be noid if I was 50 and they had my 20s under a microscope looking to prosecute.
Probably..but that shouldn't stop a determined felon.
The alleged victims are liars and I could care less on what they say, just a hit piece to slander Black legends....
We know their works and cacs get away with much worse with a mountain of proof....
Stay free Russ and #Free Kellz and Cos
This nikkas has been a known predator since I was a kid.
They were all credible claims. Weird ass nikkas even started sleeping with Kimora when she was like 16.
fukk Russell Simmons. fukk R. Kelly. fukk that bytch-ass nikka Afrika Bambaataa. And fukk Bill Cosby.
idk breh, I would usually bend towards the bytch wanted to further her career
smashing Russ might be a sacrifice for the greater good
but this doc "makes it seem as if"
that wasn't the case..that trailer is attempting to set this tone
What I think happened was Russ probably raped her, and she said nothing because she was concerned with the possible backlash. If it were a staright quid pro quo situation she wouldn't have said anything.
People shyt on Robin Givens but she played the game fair, you know she's was about a check. Bill Cosby "discovered" her when she was a bougie chick in Harvard Law, she "auditioned" for him at his New York Apartment the rest is history. She never came out and said he raped her. She didn't cape but she also didn't claim rape.
That being said one of Russ's accusers said that she liked Russ and she would've kissed him but he raped her.
again I'M NOT COSIGNING WHAT HE DID what I'm saying is you can't convict a guy with no evidence even if it did happen. They didn't come forward then don't come forward now. Extort a check out of him but don't make him do football numbers based on a bitter chick's say so.
Some old police reports and a lot of corroborated testimony. Probably more in the documentary.
He's one of those industry guys that a whole lot of women get a "warning" about - like Alex Kozinski in the legal field (for those that know).
