Three women have accused music industry mogul Russell Simmons of rape. Simmons is the co-founder of the hugely influential label Def Jam Recordings and a major figure in the music, entertainment, media and fashion industries. Drew Dixon, a former executive for Def Jam Recordings, told The New York Times Simmons repeatedly sexually harassed her and then raped her in 1995. A singer, Tina Baker, said Simmons raped her in the early ’90s, derailing her career. Music journalist Toni Sallie also says Simmons raped her in the late 1980s. Simmons denies the accusations.
