The screenwriter of 'Rachel Getting Married' and 'The Mummy' (and the daughter of filmmaker Sidney Lumet) details a terrifying encounter with the legendary music producer, who says he is stepping down from his businesses in the wake of the new claims.

Russell Simmons, a prolific music and TV producer and co-founder of Def Jam Recordings, was accused of sexual assault and harassment by model Keri Claussen Khalighi in a Nov. 19 article in the Los Angeles Times. Simmons then denied the incident in a letter published Nov. 22 by The Hollywood Reporter. The letter prompted Jenny Lumet, an award-winning screenwriter (Rachel Getting Married, The Mummy), the daughter of filmmaker Sidney Lumet, and granddaughter of singer/activist Lena Horne, to pen a response detailing her own experience with Simmons.

You can’t reject sexual harassment unless you also reject all of progressivism.

I clicked on this thread because I thought it said “Richard Simmons.” My bad.

Guess she got a different kind of “respect” with her “Rush Card”.

I didn’t think rappers had to abide by the same standards as everybody else.

I agree.

You could do a whole Jerry Springer show on Stanley Ann Dunham and when she got rid of little Barry; sending him to Granny in Hawaii from Indonesia.

We need Maury Povich on the DNA.....

Thanks, liberals. Thanks a lot.

Really great job of trashing out country. Really great.

There is definitely something really weird between Mooch and Barack. There has to be a reason, or several reasons for their obsessions with “transgender bathrooms”.

Twisted freaks.

Sue hi civilly, charge him criminially. His stepping down from his job in his own company isn’t going to help.
