Russell Simmons Sued for Defamation


Two months ago Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons denied the claims of sexual misconduct lodged against him by multiple women in a podcast interview, calling his accusers liars, thirsting for fame [click here if you missed that].

Now former Def Jam A&R, Drew Dixon, who is one of the accusers [click here if you missed that], is suing Simmons for defamation of character...

Def Jam Recordings cofounder Russell Simmons has been sued for defamation by one of his former execs at the hip-hop record label, who accused him of trying to undermine her allegations that he sexually assaulted her in 1995.
In the lawsuit, which was filed in New York Superior Court on Thursday, former Def Jam A&R director Drew Dixon accused Simmons of a “concerted and malicious campaign to discredit” her via a December podcast interview in which he said that “six people” were falsely accusing him of abuse.
Dixon is seeking compensatory and punitive damages.

Excellent move on her part. He will settle well or maybe she won’t want to settle.

He’s ruined many lives by being a rapist. May justice prevail for Drew.
