Russell Simmons finds himself in hot water yet again following the premiere of HBO Max documentary, “On the Record,” in which multiple women accuse him of rape.
One of his accusers, Lai Abrams, took to Twitter to denounce The Breakfast Club for allowing Simmons to speak on the show.
“The biggest radio show in the black community just gave a huge middle finger to black women and survivors of sexual assault,” Abrams tweeted.
“Stunts like what @breakfastclubam is pulling this morning by having Russell Simmons on to talk about *social justice of all things* is why it took over 25 years for R. Kelly to start to be held accountable for his serial predation of Black women and girls.”
“Immediately before an emotional conversation about police brutality against Black women on The Breakfast Club this morning, Russell Simmons peddled numerous myths about sexual assault, stereotypes about Black women, and distortions of facts in denying the multiple sexual assault allegations against him.”
