In 1995, Drew Dixon was working her dream job as an executive at Def Jam Recordings, helping to oversee a chart-topping album and a ubiquitous single by Method Man and Mary J. Blige. But as her star rose, Ms. Dixon, then 24, was spiraling into depression, she said, because of prolonged and aggressive sexual harassment by her direct supervisor, Russell Simmons, the rap mogul and co-founder of the label.

On work calls, he would talk graphically about how she aroused him. At a staff meeting, he asked her to sit on his lap. He regularly exposed his erect penis to her. Late that year, Mr. Simmons raped her in his downtown Manhattan apartment, Ms. Dixon said. She quit Def Jam soon after.

So after the meeting, and after regularly exposing his turgid member to her..... she happened to go to his apartment at a later date that year?

Now i ain’t sayin’ she’s a gold digger... but she ain’t messin’ with a broke....

One of the first music Compact Discs available was Slayer’s Raining Blood on Def Jam’s label. Man, I love that album. Run DMC and Public Enemy are the only rap bands I ever liked.

Russell Simmons must be wishing he didn’t put on his Adidas this morning.
