"Ex-Def Jam Executive Sues Russell Simmons for '90s Rape Allegations"

A former Def Jam Recordings employee has filed a lawsuit against Russell Simmons, alleging that he raped her in the '90s at his apartment. The accuser claims she told Simmons to stop multiple times, but he allegedly did not listen. This comes after Simmons faced several sexual misconduct allegations in the 2020 documentary On The Record. The accuser says her career was disrupted and she suffered from dissociation, depression, and anxiety. The lawsuit was filed as part of the expiration of New York's Adult Survivors Act, and Simmons has not publicly responded to the suit.
