Music Mogul Russell Simmons Accused of Rape by Three Women

Share:

Three women have come forward to accuse Russell Simmons of rape, weeks after the music mogul stepped down from his media empire after allegations of sexual misconduct from other women.

In on-the-record interviews with the New York Times published Wednesday, three women — Drew Dixon, a former executive at Simmons’s record label, Def Jam Recordings; Toni Sallie, a journalist for a music magazine; and Tina Baker, a singer — claimed that Simmons sexually attacked and raped them in a series of alleged incidents between 1988 and 1995.

Sallie told the Times that Simmons — whom she had reportedly met previously while on assignment — had invited her to a party at his New York City apartment in 1988, but when she arrived, she found the place empty except for herself and the music mogul. She added that Simmons proceeded to take her to a bedroom, and allegedly raped her.

“He pushed me on the bed and jumped on top of me, and physically attacked me,” Sallie told the paper. “We were fighting. I said no.”
