Russell Simmons & Brett Ratner Were Investigated for Sexual Battery

russell simmons brett ratner sexual batter

Russell Simmons and his friend Brett Ratner were under investigation by the Beverly Hills PD for an alleged sexual battery that occurred in 2001.

The 29-year-old woman said the two men held her against her will and touched her unlawfully. Prosecutors declined to press charges, citing insufficient evidence.

Simmons has since responded to the past allegations:

“This is an important and critical time for the empowerment of women and men who have been harassed. I have been a public figure for all of my adult life. And when you are in that arena over decades, you can find yourself in a position where you are vulnerable and susceptible to claims that are untrue.” – Russell Simmons

  1. In the 90s, a good friend told me that Russell Simmons had raped her. Although she had dated him briefly earlier, the relationship was long over on that level when the alleged assault happened. No means no, but Mr. Simmons obviously thought differently, according to my friend’s report.

  2. If you go back and watch some of the old def comedy jams videos with Martin as the host, you will notice how martin slaps Russell’s hand away as they are walking off the stage…I always wondered if Russell was sexually assaulting Martin…hmmm

    • OMG!!! Yup! I saw that. Was just watching the entire series 2 months ago! I saw that!!!!

    • Martin made jokes about dudes sucking his dick

      And those gat references on the martin show let’s not forget martin dressed in drag constantly and came on to Chris kid Reid

      Luke said back in the early 90s that kid n play act gay in person and that Damon waysns and David Alan grier and the living color cast act gay snappi g their fingers

      • On old reruns of the Wayans show, Shawn was always smacking his brother on the ass and trying to kiss him. HIGHLY suspect shit on that show when you watch it now as an adult.

  3. At this point I think we can all assume that Hollywood is a very sick and nasty place and those seeking employment there must be a sandwich short of a picnic. Stay away folks.

    • Equifax hack. This is not about these people all the sudden having a conscience this is about covering they asses. I’m sure the conversations went like this so remember that wire of money that my client sent you? Well they have some pertinent information on you so this is how it’s going to go either you’re going to come out with it a story stating that this person has sexually assaulted you and you get to keep your job in Hollywood where you keep your mouth shut and forget you even exist. You’ll ever have a job in Hollywood again. Hollywood is just another government slush fund like Peta no smoking campaign kick cancer and my favorite RED campaign. How you going to donate some money to something the government created to kill people I’m sorry thinning of the herd, right on the CDC website is states that tobacco does not cause cancer but the chemicals preservatives that they put in the tobacco is cancerous, and my all-time favorite how Peter go and get on people for animal abuse when right by Norfolk Zoo and 17th Street in the Trap the fucking dog fighting shit in the warehouse is right across the street from fucking PETA. When I say right across the street I mean right across the street. It’s a shame Mike Vicks life was almost ruined over a bet gone bad between his cousin and a white boy that happened to be a government official…

  4. Anonymous……you are smart….. There can be a number of Motivating factors one of the main ones could be Hush Money could be a reason, especially if the payday is sizeable. Also, another factor could be to cease the opportunity to hurt , shame and finally get even with someone you were powerless to protect yourself from in the past. As the saying goes ” Payback Can Be a Bitch” and the victims probably feel Better Late than Never. Also, with the current avalanche of Sexual Harrassement and sexual abuse Allegations being publicized by Rich, Famous and sometimes White Women it is giving Women of diverse Backgrounds the courage to tell their stories and to leave their shame and fear behind .

  5. Didn’t he cheat on Kimora with one of her bridesmaids the night before her wedding??

  6. “Russell Simmons and his friend Brett Ratner were under investigation by the Beverly Hills PD for an alleged sexual battery that occurred in 2001.”

    In 2001? That is 16 years ago. Then the story goes ” the 29-year-old woman said the two men held her against her will and touched her unlawfully. Prosecutors declined to press charges, citing insufficient evidence.”

    Help me here people. Was the woman 29 years old back then. If not, she was 13 years old in 2001. Is this another female, not the one from 2001.

  7. Breaking news: Benny Medina is being accused of trying to rape a white man back in 2008. I believe this story one hundred percent.
