I met Russell at Zin Palate in NYC several years ago. He was creeping then with a popular model. This latest news does not surprise me.

O wow, I thought that the last name sounded familiar but had no idea that she had ties with Lena Horne. Interesting...

It was reported Simmons fled to Indonesia. He can't be extradited there.
Whatever happened to his ex, Kimora? Baby Phat line?

My friend Alexia is the reason Russell fled to Indonesia. She filed rape charges against him about a year ago. I've known her since we were both 18. The problem I have with it is that her charges are from an incident that happened in NYC in 1990!

It would seem like many of the guys who are accused of that crime wouldn't even have to stoop to that level when there are women [[and men) who throw themselves at them. Not to round up all the women [[and men) who are making these charges but like one of the twins in the Jimi Hendrix bio movie said and I'll loosley quote, "Once you are famous and have money, it follows that the women will come, they follow each other." Since that seems to be true in the entertainment world, you wonder why they even have to harrass someone. I don't condome any of this taking advantage of stuff by the way. If what happened to the ladies [[and gents) who are making rightful accusations is true, then the scum bags should be outed in public and pay for their crimes. I just can't understand why the accused [[if true) go there with when there others who will bend without any harrasement at all. It sounds like pure greed and it's all recorded under sin.

His ex-wife has been married a couple times since divorcing Russell.

The Baby Phat line is being re-launched as we speak.

Yeah nothing was done to Russell. Now he's gonna be back like he wasn't just accused of sexual assault by several women. SMH
