A former model claims she was just 17 when hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons forced her into sex — and all while his pal, embattled moviemaker Brett Ratner, sat by and watched, according to a bombshell report on Sunday.
Keri Claussen Khalighi said the scary casting-couch incident happened in 1991 when she and Ratner were at Simmons’ New York home to allegedly watch a music video the men had been doing, according to the Los Angeles Times.
That’s when Simmons allegedly made aggressive sexual advances and removed her clothes, as Ratner sat nearby.
“I looked over at Brett and said ‘help me’ and I’ll never forget the look on his face,” the then-Nebraska teenager recalled. “In that moment, the realization fell on me that they were in it together.”
“I fought it wildly,” said Khalighi, who claimed she was eventually coerced into performing oral sex. “I guess I just acquiesced.”
Khalighi the experience was “disgusting” and she went to take a shower — where Simmons allegedly followed her and penetrated her.
What's going on with all the Conservatives on govt. handouts & businesses subsidies & sexual harassment? How many miles of roads & highways have Republicans' small amount of taxes built? They use miles & miles & want others to fill the potholes with "cut taxes". Republican SOCIALISM will destroy America well before sexual intrigue does.
Writer Jenny Lumet: Russell Simmons Sexually Violated Me.
The screenwriter of 'Rachel Getting Married' and 'The Mummy' (and the daughter of filmmaker Sidney Lumet) details a terrifying encounter with the legendary music producer, who says he is stepping down from his businesses in the wake of the new claims.
Russell Simmons, a prolific music and TV producer and co-founder of Def Jam Recordings, was accused of sexual assault and harassment by model Keri Claussen Khalighi in a Nov. 19 article in the Los Angeles Times. Simmons then denied the incident in a letter published Nov. 22 by The Hollywood Reporter. The letter prompted Jenny Lumet, an award-winning screenwriter (Rachel Getting Married, The Mummy), the daughter of filmmaker Sidney Lumet, and granddaughter of singer/activist Lena Horne, to pen a response detailing her own experience with Simmons.
