In 2018, 16 women accused Simmons of sexual misconduct and, in several cases, rape.
While he has yet to be criminally charged in any of the incidents, we have more evidence that Russell Simmons may not be a particularly good or stable person.
His daughter Aoki has aired him out in a series of social media posts.
You can check them all out below.
[Instagram post not found]"My father is not well, for years, he needs help and won’t accept thathe refuses to acknowledge he is not himself. He has threatened and bullied my sister, my grandma, he has harassed my grandma in the middle of the night in poor health, send a man to my sisters apartment at 2am to scare her. He lashes out at ANYONE who does not say “oh Russell everything is fine”. Well it’s not fine. If “I never get a fashion job again” like he threatens, I’ll be a lawyer I guess and work in criminal Justice. Sure I love my job but if he takes it away from me I won’t die. You don’t threaten my sister and grandma and mother and say “who’s gonna believe you I’m Russell Simmons nobody thinks I’m crazy” well he is," she typed.
