Furthermore, in the statement, he also mentioned:
“I am a supporter of the #MeToo campaign and the victims who were previously terrified to stand up and speak out against sexual misconduct. I completely and unequivocally deny the horrendous allegations of non-consensual sex against me with every fiber of my being I know Keri Claussen Khalighi and remember the weekend in 1991 that she has referenced. Everything that happened between us 26 years ago was completely consensual and with Keri’s full participation.”
Sherri Hines, who recently filed a report against the Def Jam Recordings co-founder also opened up about the alleged behavior of Simmons during an appearance on NBC’s Megyn Kelly Today in December. At the time, Hines stated:
“When he finished, I ran out of there and I left. I was crying… I just couldn’t believe I was just violated like that. And more so that I felt embarrassed, I felt used, worthless and why I use those words, is because Russell knew how Mercedes Ladies, we went up against an all-male arena… He came to my home, and he met my mom, who was a single mom who had 10 kids she was raising… so for him to do this.”
Moreover, according to TMZ, one of the anonymous women claimed Simmons raped her at his New York home after they went out on a date in 1991. She also revealed that she was 32 at that time.
