Jenny Lumet Russell Simmons/ 1991
On November 30, 2017, Lumet claimed that Russell Simmons, a music producer, had sexually assaulted her in 1991. At the time, she was 24 and he offered her a ride home from an eatery. When she told the driver her address, he dismissed her and took her to his apartment.
She said that he didn’t physically abuse or verbally threaten her but he used his size to manipulate her to the elevator and into a bedroom. At all times, she kept saying wait to which he didn’t reply or acknowledge. She then decided to keep calm and do what she was told so that she could go home. After the incident, she dressed quickly and returned home.
Simmons said that his recollection of the events that happened between them was different from hers. She said that she decided to share her story after he fiercely refused the sexual assault allegations against him by other women. As a result of the allegations, he dropped out of leadership positions at his businesses.
