Def Jam Records co-founder Russell Simmons is currently embroiled in sexual assault allegations, and the situation looked worse after actor Terry Crews shared a recent interaction between the two. Crews, who recently opened up about allegedly being sexually harassed and assaulted by Hollywood agent Adam Venit, revealed a shocking email he received from Simmons.
On Sunday (November 19), the star of FOX’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine tweeted a screen capture of a short email from Simmons. The email from the former music exec read: “Did he ever apologize Give the agent a pass ask that he be reinstated.”
Taken aback by the email, Crews informed Simmons via Twitter that “NO ONE GETS A PASS.”
Simmons has yet to issue a response to Crews and the sharing of the email. He did respond to the sexual assault allegations made by model Keri Claussen Khalighi, who was 17 years old at the time of the alleged assault, in the Los Angeles Times’ original report.
“Everything that occurred between Keri and me occurred with her full consent and participation,” he said in a statement.
Simmons reiterated his position in a more detailed statement on Instagram, denying any assault took place.
“I completely and unequivocally deny the horrendous allegations of non-consensual sex against me with every fiber of my being,” he wrote.”
Read his full statement below.
doesnt surprise me…he met his ex-wife when she was very young…we’ve all heard of the gay pegging stories…russ out here shook about whats gonna come out
Met her when she was 15, been fucking her when she was 16,engaged when she was 17 and nobody said shit. Yet everybody hated on tyga and killed his career for dating a 17 year old and he was 24, yet paul walker and Russell Simmons were in their 30’s doing it. That one actor from lost got consent from his young girls parents before he married her and started fucking and they killed his career cause he was fat lol hollyweird only protects those who play the game and do the fuck shit
Disgusting! Russell Simmons clearly has no morality! He needs to be castrated!
give him a pass? wow, what a piece of shit.. so much for all his yoga namaste fake morality BS
And just goes to show everyone says its these evil rich twisted white guys doing all this sick shit rich black men are just as guilty if not typicaly far worse because they sold out there own kind 9/10 times to get there where as at least a white man just wrongs anybody no discrimination lol
Terry crews should be ashamed for letting another man touch on him fucking clown
what was he supposed to do? knock the guy out, get himself locked up, and also get blacklisted from ever getting an acting gig again? or worse- threatening him and his family?
I just learned that Russell Simmons used to be friends with Donald Trump! What a pig!
I really hope that all of these allegations against movie/music execs comes out here in Japan too. A lot of terrible shit going on here against underage girls trying to get into show business.

The IRONY!! Then PC libtard ONLYBLACKLIVESMATTER and gay rappers should exist fucktard is being canibalized by his own bullshit PC left wing followers. REJOICE!! Hahahahaha. Fuck you, Russel. Everything you did for Hip-Hop will now be overshadowed by your doing what men in power normally do. Try to fuck every woman around them. Hahahaha! Now we just need that idiot Killer Mike and Chance the gay rapper to be caught up… you know Killer Mike has force fed some white girls. I am SO happy right now. BTW, I am no Trump supporter, but if Hillaryarious was prez right now, none of this would have come to light. Beginning with Weinsteingoldenbergenbignose!
Right, because only “men in power” “try to f every women in sight”. You sound like a “gay rapper”.
…..Can I buy some pot from you?
Hahahahaha. The false bullshit of the black democrats and the gay agenda/black lives matter bullshit is crumbling. It was only a matter of time. Thanks Russel. Terry Crews, I’ve been a fan since Soul Plane and Everyone Hates Chris. In my eyes, you will now go down as a true patriot. Not many black men would have done what you did in this political climate. Salute. Capital G!!
I second that shit bro. Comment of the year.
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again . He should have just grabbed them by the pussy but no penetration . I’m being serious when you’re famous they will let you do anything .
Why is Crews putting shit online for? You pick up the phone and call Russ WTF!
Because he’s outting a predator. You idiot.
Nah, no passes… Russ has the nerve to email that, he gets aired out too!
Chad Pimp-C Butler said all this in 2007 in ozone magazine and when he called in to the Radio Station. UGK 4 LIFE!!!!
Man, what is wrong with the news yall? Hopsin´s new album No Shame bout to drop and nobody is reporting that. Shame on the Rap Game….
Tell him to get the bag out and spend on advertising..
He did it get over it! Just like OJ killed Nicole, just like Meek Mill violated his probation. These brothers need to pay including you “Uncle Russ”
SMH @ Russ, you were one of the pillars of the hip-hop community….NOT ANYMORE. That email was sickening on the real, let it go so Venit can go on an assault more victims.. Crews is the only one that said something, who knows how deep the rabbit hole goes… and now this crap has come to hip-hop, thanks Russ, appreciate your contribution.
Pimp C said Russell Simmons was gay 10 years ago.
All your favorite rappers are gay including puffy and Jay-Z. Where have you been.
