Writer Jenny Lumet: Russell Simmons Sexually Violated Me (Guest Column)
Russell Simmons, a prolific music and TV producer and co-founder of Def Jam Recordings, was accused of sexual assault and harassment by model Keri Claussen Khalighi in a Nov. 19 article in the Los Angeles Times. Simmons then denied the incident in a letter published Nov. 22 by The Hollywood Reporter. The letter prompted Jenny Lumet — an award-winning screenwriter (Rachel Getting Married, The Mummy), the daughter of filmmaker Sidney Lumet, and granddaughter of singer/activist Lena Horne — to pen a response detailing her own experience with Simmons.
On Nov. 22, 2017, Russell Simmons wrote:
"I have never committed any acts of aggression or violence in my life. I would never knowingly cause fear or harm to anyone."

Is he being charged? Is she pressing charges? No? Is she looking for a settlement? Of course not.
