Russell Simmons: Full Interview

[@jumpman858]

Russel was a bit on edge during this convo and borderline angry. He was surprised that Graham studied... That's his job.

[@duermedespierto]

I didn't perceived him to be borderline angry at all

[@jumpman858]

I might be wrong, who knows.@@duermedespierto

[@MrGrace]

I wouldn't say angry, but definitely thrown off by the references Graham was making to certain parts of his early life. Also, Graham didn't transition very well, he would abruptly go to the next subject. All in all, it wasn't a great interview by either one lol

[@jumpman858]

Looking at it again, I'd agree with you. That could be what it was, the pacing of the interview. Interesting catch.@@MrGrace

I didn't get that impression at all but everyone sees things differently thank God because not everyone is correct in their assumptions.

[@ByronFoster-g2q]

Woo

[@sirenasongs2982]

He's actually going for the old "rape is a violent crime and jumping out of the bushes is different" than date rape. We all know now that most rape occurs in a situation of trust with people who already know each other. Not classic "stranger rape.". Also "we all need to learn to listen" = I didn't listen to women when they told me "no, stop, I don't want it"

[@NTonyo100]

Damn....you're all over the comments. This is like the 4th one I've seen u post...

He says his children have become difficult to manage as if they are buttons on a shirt and loving them is equal to the pain of severe arthritis. He is narcissistic as F!

He has never denied being a narcissist. He is a present father, I believe he is allowed to manage his children.

[@sirenasongs2982]

@@thamimathebula5009 where or when has he come out and said "yeah sure I'm a narcissist, I claim it"

Believe what people tell you about themselves. He stated, early in the interview, that he is a narcissist. Don’t let the great ability to tell stories throw you off his scent

[@RolloBee]

Not sure how you manage children who are now adults. I’d like to believe I’m here to guide and listen to my children so that they can be better than me. But it’s up to them.

"if you want to call Oprah I can give you her number" what is that supposed to prove? He says this like some kind of flex

He's so clueless responding to credible rape allegations by bragging about having so many foursomes. Notice how he will not say "I" but "we,", it's not a generation or a culture who raped Drew Dixon, it is you. There was no time when physically holding down a person who is crying and saying no was not considered rape, I hope he eventually has to answer for all the people he violated.

[@abdurrahmanharris6347]

Sometimes people cry because they love the person. Crying doesn't prove rape does it? Some people like to be held down as well.

how many people thought depp was guilty or spacey? the truth is this stuff belongs in a courtroom not in the media. to me he is innocent until proven guilty. that's my standard and i'm not changing it.

Kevin spacey had people killed who spoke out against him deeply involved with the royal family

[@democracysdoomsday7905]

The difference is depp only had one accuser ntm many ex's in his defense. He also chose to take heard to court. Unlike all these others who just hide or subliminal msgs denying it. They don't seem to give an outright yes or no.

[@MiamiPush2theLimit]

Depp faced justice. Russell is hiding overseas.

[@cinthiamacey6473]

My brothers went through the same thing, being chased out of their neighborhood and rescued by Jews in Ozone Park, Queens.

[@MrGrace]

I honestly think that there is a plot to tarnish the legacies of our great moguls, as a continuation of the cointelprogram. We dont have the political groups that we used to, so now most of us look up to our entrepreneurs. And they are more influential (arguably) than Malcolm and Martin. Yes, i do think they did some of the things they're accused of. But i dont think it was nonconsentual.

[@michellearroyo816]

Facts there tearing everyone down it’s sad to see and scary cuz it could be our brother father husband who is next

[@MiamiPush2theLimit]

@@michellearroyo816then maybe they shouldn’t be raping or abusing people.

[@Just-Princess]

Yes, in some cases (I believe Russell did multiple polygraph tests regarding the accusations at his daughters insistence, and passed them all). In other cases, like R.Kelly, Diddy & Bill Cosby... unfortunately their behaviors caused what happened/is happening to their legacies. The evidence against those 3 is overwhelming. Russell was likely a play boy and did the behaviors that were acceptable during his time. Rape has NEVER been socially accepted. I believe he is innocent, until evidence proves otherwise. It's unfortunate that he now has effectively had to excited himself -regardless of how beautiful Bali may be, just to have his freedom. He can't be an active father as his daughters navigate early adulthood. Couldn't attend the graduations of his daughters, one of which graduated at just 20 from Harvard. That is sad. IF he is guilty of raping even one woman, then he deserves that and to be under the jail. However, if he did not committ those crimes it's very unfair imo. Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson & Tupac experienced the same unfair treatment despite all the evidence proving they did not commit those crimes of sexual assault. Both MJ's accuser and Tupac's have admitted publicly years later that they weren't molested by them. MJ's (Jordan Chandler) confessed after Michael's death. Blamed his father and even emancipated himself as a teen. The father then killed himself. Tupac's accuser admitted on camera that pac never raped her. His boys gang raped her and she was upset he didn't "stop it from happening" (despite not being in the room). Mike Tyson's accuser had a history of accusing people of rape (including her high school boyfriend who went on t.v and explained she cried rape when her father walked in on them...).

"I've never spoken to a policeman or a judge" maybe because he's been hiding out minimum five years? "I'm back in America all the time." .... really? "Ive had a lot of time for reflection....in being a better servant to God" if he did nothing wrong, what is there to reflect upon?

Im 10 mins in. Never heard an interviewer with so many leading negative and stereotypical questions

[@Kennyatta-sv2hm]

Honest question. Why do women always report the rape decades later when it comes celebrity's. What takes them so long.

[@Just-Princess]

I can't speak for all women, but as someone who was molested by multiple people as a child, including one woman (non celebrities full disclosure). I disclosed one at age 14 kind of accidently which caused an entire police investigation, intimate examinations of my genitals, interrogations... only for the police to say we believe you, there are signs of sexual trauma to your genitals that wouldn't be there on a young 14 year old without forceable violent penetration, but the perp has claimed he is diabetic and has erectile dysfunction as a result. So because we didn't examine you immediately after the last rape (which had occurred a year prior we don't have enough dna evidence to prosecute the case. The ordeal was traumatic to say the least and caused me to attempt suicide at 14 (I almost died and stayed in hospital for 6 weeks ...then was transferred to an inpatient psychiatric hospital for teens with 'issues' for a year. That turned my world upside down and I felt like it was a punishment for telling an adult I had been having sex ('consentual' and not with a man in his 60's who was my foster father from the age of 12). She told the police, not me (as should as a responsible adult). But my teenaged brain didn't understand and I vowed I'd never speak about any of the others. Only in my late 20's (which was just 3 years ago) I began to share the full extent of the rape and sexual abuse I experienced with 2 friends and a therapist as it somehow felt safe (finally). Sexual trauma like that can scare you into silence for many years or a lifetime, until you feel safe enough to share and be believed...
