Russ has been a secret scumbag for decades. My uncles worked with Russ in the early Def Jam years and he was a creep back then, and he was just a party promoter. Once he became a mogul, he became emboldened & creepier. Remember, Kimora was a teenager when Russ started dating her.
He’s a low key coke head and slime ball . When I use to do it I would be a creep . Good thing is I always was home by myself when I was getting high . The behavior he has reminds me when I use to get high
People tend to gloss over his egregious behavior because he's a mogul and a pioneer in hip hop. This is the exact reason why Afrika Bambaataa was raping and molesting young men for so long!
My cousin who is a corporate executive is in his forties. Very early on he decided to NEVER be in a room alone with any women, especially any Karens in a professional setting. He's friendly get along well with others but chooses not to place himself in a situation that would be difficult to defend.
Your uncle may not be a pedophile now you know damn well and Russell Simmons was thirty-five years old and was dating Kimora when she was a sophomore and then married her you know damn well he was looking at her. She was a teenager and he was a grown ass man he's a pedophile like a whole lot of other men are but they just not being checked we all know men who are pedophiles are looking at little girls if a young lady is in high school she still a little girl he can hide in Bali all he wants to but there's a power that's greater than all humans that will set the record right!!!
As an old school B Boy and a lover of music and the musicians represented here, I have never trusted and felt that there was something foul about Simmons. I think this feeling really started when he abandoned Slick Rick in Prison and in an interview I saw him And Slick Rick he was talking down To Slick Rick and I was like What is wrong with this man. Even in the movie Krush Groove he seemed like a snake. It really seems like all CEO of music and entertainment are Slime balls and have no inherent talent but sponge the life out others that do..........Prince and MJ were treated like this and many others..........

B-Boy Indeed. Lol. Back in the days I used to do shows and my parents knew very little about my creations. Word-of-mouth got me into a play downtown and my character was a Rapper and I was able to spit my own lines into the play script. After the show I was standing on the sidewalk with my Boom Box waiting for my mom to pick me up and a lady approached and asked me do I know of Russell Simmons? I told her I never heard of him and to her surprise. She then asked me for my phone number. She said she knew him personally and could help get in contact. So I gave her my number and paid it no mind. Just a few weeks later the phone rings and my dad answers the phone, he listens and ask a few questions, then all of a sudden I hear my dad say to the person in a Stern voice to the person on the other end of the phone " he is in school and he doesn't have time for that mess". I ask my dad who was that and what did they want?.. he replied, "it was somebody from Def Jam taking about some Rap music" 😂 And that was that. My dad immediately went back to watching his television program and could care less. He despised Rap. That's how most parents felt about Hip Hop back in our B-Boy days ❤✌🏽
I used to see him all the time at a health club in Bali. Everything about him oozed narcissism, from the pathetic attempt at selling inner peace on Instagram to the way he carried himself physically around the place

I don't take it lightly when a woman says that she was raped. But reporting it 30 or 40 years later should be a crime within itself. If he was broke on crack somewhere not one of them women would be reporting it after so much time has passed
The hell time shouldn't be considered! The story completely changes after that much time, not to mention, the accused bank statement! There's a lot !more to be gained after 40 years of success!
Just him moving to Bali where they have no extradition laws speaks volumes. If he is so innocent why doesn't he stay here in the United States. I hope they can find a way to bring him back here so Justice can be served.
If he is found to be in part of and investigation his ass will be brought back keep thinking that bullshit bali doesn't have a extradition treaty but they have sent Americans back a treaty is a written agreement between two countries two allow extradition not a law so it's possible his ass can be brought back or sent back
One thing is for sure and that is these people in the industry used to have the time of their lives taking advantage of people during a time where nobody had cellphones & cameras everywhere
I'm poor so I'll never have rich people problems... But if one was to become involved in the fancy life... I'd flee the country with my wealth as well 😂
I fully agree with Russell when it comes to us fathers having to fight so hard to see our own children. Helping our own kids to hate us, unnecessary, because they think we did not fight hard enough. Good look Russell Simmon's from all of us rhymers that have stood the test of time. If not for you, I might never be a rhymer.
He said he should show remorse and be a better human being …. He ain’t say shit about justice, he pretty much kissing Russell ass …. Just honoring the predator
Many alledged celebrated celebrities are perhaps geared towards seeking outside living outbound arrangements after a certain alledged Hollyweirdos new documentaries inspired against alledged traditional ritualistic normalized burdensome bankrupt enriched obligations... Meanwhile.. Roman Polanski alledgedly left America many years ago and for alledged similar alledged reasons..
To those who think they are trying to destroy him just truly can't see out of the celebrity that they are. John Witherspoon was famous and never had no issues came into this world and left with clean hands among many black entertainers. Some of our people get easily corrupted by money and power and start acting just like the oppressors until they finally get their wake up call. Rev Run hasn't done nothing grimy nor has their other brother. Just a Russ issue
Russ has a ton more money than all those folks. It's worth making an accusation if it makes you some money. Interestingly, none of these women said anything until they were washed up.
When Rev Run has the show on MTV… I remember Russ didn’t even know his damn nephews n nieces names.. that time on I always knew something was off about him.
One thing most of these woman have in common is that they all spent time with him alone. They probably were looking for a come up and they got more than what they bargain for. Russel knows exactly why he left the states.
For your information, whenever a woman spends time with a man it is not always for a come up. I'm so sorry you've never been truly loved by a real woman 🙏.

Right?? And the weird part is is that if you say that it's called victim blaming. Such and sanity man like if it was that crazy put your story out there, don't wait 20 years later
Facts, nonetheless he did it right if he was one of those big dick deviants Russell Simmons spoke about, because he got tf outta there kinda like Vince Mcmahon doing now, and what they trying to do with the whole Epstien island thing and lay low and people forget.@MisterLandofLakes
True. But that doesn't excuse him from being a sexual predator. Sadly, despite the woman Simmons has helped up in the business - other woman were held down and sexually harassed and assaulted in the same work place by Simmons while everyone looked away. Simmons is the hip hop business' version of Harvey Weinstein, only Weinstein didn't have Oprah Winfrey to protect him.
@@whereisthebalance5732 Lyor Cohen worked for ( Russell Simmons), his introduction into the music business was becuase of Russell Simmons. Russell Simmons was the first music executive entrepreneur in Hip-Hop, to invest in a clothing company, film and television, and other areas of business. Diddy, J-Z, kanye West, Rihanna all learned from the foundation he laid, for others to follow. Lyor Cohen, main stay has only been the music business.
His family spoke out publicly regarding their issues. Regarding the inner workings of what happened to those women you’re right we don’t know they’re simply allegations.
Sadly God is real he already revealed awhile back this man had trouble coming.. God will hold u accountable no matter how much time has past He never forgets.. When you refuse to repent.. God already warned his kids about this guy.. One thing God never does is lie..
It's interesting how these "singular" experiences seem to be corporate culture for the entertainment industry. A lot of people silent or silenced. And the Predator outed only when the people in power don't like them.
This is a tough one. 13 women is a lot. At the same time, it makes one wonder if after the first woman tells her story whether or not you now have a snowball effect of others who crossed paths with him at one time, now seeing it as a way to cash in or something? That was my first thought after growing up seeing "uncle rush" on Run's house and being a big hip hop fan (so I'm def biased, mos def bias). Also, he was the CEO of Def Jam and a household name, that's a big target for an opportunist. As I was typing this though, my gut is now telling me there's something here. I'm a dude, have worked In the business world/office setting with a lot of money being made and while most guys are harmless, there are definitely more creeps than we (as non creepy guys), might ever realize. Because this behavior seems unthinkingable to us and we don't often see it first hand, I think there is a gut reaction to thinking "naw, that guy would never do something like that, he's cool!" He might be cool around other guys but most of these creeps are completely different when they're 1-on-1 with women and no one is around. Basically, I guess I'm saying, we don't see what these guys are like because we are not the target. If you really get to know a handful of attractive women who work in these settings and they're honest with you, the shit you will hear is pretty bonkers, it's much more common than we understand as non-creepy dudes. We had a dude at our office pull out his wang in front of a co-worker during biz hours and I'd bet big money she didn't make it up. We alll worked with the guy for 10 years, never would have guessed it. No idea why I'm spending time typing this out but bottom line for me: when there there's a lot of smoke, there's usually at least a little fire.
I want you to go on record and say that the Hunter Biden laptop is a Russian hoax because 51 federal agents signed a letter saying it is a fraud. You have empirical evidence that 51 people colluded to lie and you still argue that 13 people making an allegation must somehow mean that they are not lying? Really?
It's never just one accuser. As soon as one does a money grab, the gold diggers come out in droves. The media cleverly hides how most of the women who accused Cosby of sexual assault had bogus stories. Interestingly, for someone accused of murdering his own wife, OJ Simpson has never been accused of sexual assault, is quite odd.
Very well said, brother. I agree. Personally, I don't believe those 13 women are lying. In my mind, I'm inclined to believe that probably most if not all of those women are telling the truth. And to me, the fact that Russ decided to flee to a different country just makes him look even more guilty. 🤷♂
Power should be about mastering how to make effective change, whilst Not being consumed by it. That’s Power. Will power with self respect is another lane from the same root is another battle in life. Deepest comforting peace to people that are terrorised by the trauma of sexual abuse / assault . Counselling is vital for health, the earlier the better.
Russell Simmons is tripping because he has 500 Million in Celcius shares that Kimora put up to secure her husband bond and now the government is considering seizing all shares as some was purchased with illegal funds (Kimora Husband) and the govt is not seperating Simmons purchase.
That’s why Simmons is saying he’s broke now. Kimora’s husband Tim Leisnner was scamming people in Malaysia and he was ordered to pay 100s of millions to avoid jail time. Simmons sued them because of it, but he ended up losing.
@@dfxstudios Yes, I believe between both of them they had a Billion dollars in Celsius Holdings that Kimora put up and now govt is holding and will most likely seize. Simmons and Leisnner brought 8 million shares at 1.00 a share and now years later shares are 150.00+ and they can not sell.
@@dfxstudios The US government is charging Tim with security fraud and Kimora put up the Celsius shares (half belonged to Simmons) to bond him out of jail until the trial.
This whole thing is terrible. I grew up on hip-hop. I am 56 so i was there at the beginning and Rus was a hero of mine as I got to watch Hip Hop grow. I met Russ twice, once for lunch at the Millennium and he was quiet and kind. However, you don't know these powerful people who are used to getting what they want, when they want. It's pretty sus he's spending so much time in a non-extradition country. Also, when the walls of your family life become so open it shows just how far he has fallen. This is not going to end well for Russ. He's going to be alone, all that money won't mean much if he is by himself.
I will take the money and be happy by myself. I will just pay for it at that point he may not like humans like myself. I wonder why I was even sent here I didn't ask for this.
If true, it is definitely bad news for him, but it also makes you think what if those in power wanted to ruin him and cooked up these accusations just like they have done and continue to do now to actors and music artist. Hollywood is known for shit like this, it is a very dark industry from what we have learned throughout the years.
Yeah it’s dark AF but I’ve been in the industry years-and women, children and teens get abused hardcore. SAbusers are rampant from people in power. The industry doesn’t have to cook up stories, that’s the press’ job. The industry is more involved in hiding the stories, as they need to keep bad publicity away from thier financial investments. If abuse goes on too long, it eventually finds its way to the light, because people are now speaking up and standing up for themselves. Karma is a bitch, and abuses are getting thiers.
Unless someone went through rape or sexual assault it would be hard to understand the healing process on mental, physical and emotional toll it takes on someone who suffered it [regardless of gender]. There are many reasons a victim may not come forward - ranging from emotional trauma and fear of authority, to a lack of clarity over what constitutes sexual assault and rape. Sometimes going through that process is very cathartic, full of emotional, physical and mental and internal processes to heal a serious offense against own’s personal. And especially when it comes to report people with power in a society which very clearly demonstrate that there are two systems of justice, one for the wealthy and powerful and another for the rest of us. Generally speaking our society tends to blame victims. Self doubt, self blame and growing fears about disclosing something so deeply disturbing and personal is not easy; there’s a lot of pointing fingers, blame and guilt by doubt created in a society that keep place more doubt on victims than perpetrators/abusers. Even for those who do come forward, taking action against an alleged assailant is not easy. Going through the system of reporting is living the assault or rape once again when a victim just want to erased the injury or leaving it behind forever. Thus, many have honest uniformed and are clueless, even those with honest questions about the lingering time and reporting processes tend to misconstrue, create doubt and be in the doubting side of the spectrum in this awful personal experience within the context of broader understanding in this issue. Sexual violence and rape is deeply personal, and forced by someone to do something against your own will should not be something for any victim to be ashamed of reporting and get help and justice, but processes in our society made it that way through belief systems, justice systems and norms to follow. There is always unknown things but do not become another negligent and ignorant person about it, just ask and get educated about it.
@@nwatson2773 exactly!! men are MORE likely to keep quiet about getting raped than women but MOST victims don't report it for a bunch of reasons and not being believed and blamed is a main one.
This is definitely a tough place to be in. As mentioned from others, 1. why wait 40 years to reveal such a terrible event, 2. Don’t put yourself in any situation where an accusation can be made like this, never get caught privately with another unless it’s consensual , use a body cam for all interactions, get the consent before any intimacy either in writing or on camera. You can’t be too carefully in these times.
If people don't believe you today, what makes you think they would believe you 40 years ago? Both men and women have been sx assaulted and they fear coming forward, especially if the person is famous. Date r@pe is the number 1 type of assault. If you are hanging out with someone, a friend, the last thing you would think happen is to be SA. I agree, get consent before any intimacy. And if you have to put something in their drink to make them unconscious-it is not consensual.
You've answered your own question why people wait or never report these crimes. Forty years ago, several states hadn't even got around to passing legislation making marital rape a crime. It was tried as rape but many people's attitude felt that what happened between a man and his wife was their (or the husband's) business. Also, a woman's past relationships and sexual history (not just any possible history of prior accusations of assault or rape) could be used against her to imply she had loose morals and so was asking for it. Actually, not a lot has changed.
Guilty or innocent, i don't know, what i do know is he did the right thing by getting out of the situation and starting a new beginning. GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY
The message today is that women are so strong and resilient.... But Tiger woods, bill Cosby, and Russell Simmons seem to pick all the women who were too weak to say ANYTHING ?? To ANYONE?? IF you prefer to be quiet and keep your good job, you ma'am are no victim. None of them. Call it out or be quiet forever
I never buy into stories where these women wait for so long to come forward. It's usually when there is some kind of major business deal going down when these accusations happen. They wait, 20, 40, 60 years to come forward. Then they make a documentary and make tons of money at the same time... The stories seem so far-fetched, and so hollywood the way they describe him or others who have been accused in the same way.
@@kendallfountain3729 Or.. when someone says no, or stop. Just fucking stop!! Some men just behave like animals in the wild. Running off to the far east like the guilty c*nt he is.
I believe the allegations because my cousin told me he tried to sexually assault her as well in the 80’s. When these allegations surfaced recently she reminded me about her encounter with him and said I told you.
@@crnkmnky and how is randomly popping it on you tube comment section going to help? How do we know she ain't just another nut case jumping on the bandwagon with that in mind?
When Simmons comments on " they think your hiding" that is exactly what he is doing and the reason why he refers to " separating" from what they think is a classic example of the primary defence mechanism of DENIAL. DENIAL of his actions and guilt so he does not have to take accountability. DO YOU THINK it is just a coincidence he moved to Indonesia after 3 three accused him of rape etc? I would want to fight it and do whatever I could to clear my name but then I would not do that kind of disgusting inhumane thing to a woman
This is All 🧢 these alleged victims life went downhill in their their personal lives, So the only thing they could do was come for Russell as a Money Hustle
You can tell he did it because why run if you know everything they saying is a lie. But money is power and that’s why he can travel back and forth idk maybe I’m just thinking to much 😅😅
the pursuit of money is more often than not a waste of talent and an ultimate let down. celebrities aren't happy and the more money you have, the more difficult it is to get good advice. ironic.
People should keep in mind and check the record. Mali has a extradition agreement with the U.S., through Indonesia. And most countries have agreed to extradite sex traffickers. So if guilty, Russell can't hide in Bali. Plus the F.B.I is international now. Not just in the U.S..
Russel Simmons Needs to come back and clear his name. If he did do it Face the noise and do your time. Its never going away. This will forever overshadow Def Jams Legacy
I'm sure 98% of these powerful executives have done the same, or even more crazy things than he has. They should out EVERYONE. Not just pick and choose.
@@dfxstudios and he still had people like Oprah defending him, the same Oprah that wanted Russell in jail for life. They don't feel the same way about all people doing the same thing, that's my confusion.
Right, I am so sick of these industry, politicians, the government, and whoever else picking and choosing who is guilty when they all do the same crimes.
Damn Russell, I looked up to you since I was a kid in NY! And as a young adult, his “Do You!” book was a big inspiration. I hope these allegations are false…
They aren’t and there were a lot of other women who were talking about the things that Simmons and others who worked & socialized with him did to them and that’s why he left the US bc it was getting too hot for him and he was afraid that he’d be found out and prosecuted.
Honduras just joined the ranks of nations that end extradition treaty with USA 3 weeks ago; and it’s only 2hrs away from America, making it easy for family to visit. 😌🤓
Listen! He took his money and left the country! He can live real great out there! Whether it's true, or not? It was a smart move on his part! Tom Hanks done the same thing, when he left to Greece! It's crazy how he just left his daughters behind though! Nevertheless, as usual in these TH-cam Videos, we never hear subject of these click videos ever speak! So technically, unless I hear the subjects, in their own voices ... then we never heard the subjects speak/ have spoken all!
Some were afraid to speak out in fear of being ostracized. It gets nasty though when women take it as an opportunity to snatch a settlement and completely ruin someone’s reputation.
The allegations are bad, but everybody knows women distort the truth and love getting sympathy from other women. If you accidentally look in a woman's direction, she is liable to turn around and tell all her friends you ogled her... depending on her mood. As for his family drama: The man was robbed by his ex-wife. Just because the man has emotions doesn't make him the criminal.
Nahhh man not in this case, looking into deeper him fleeing the country was suspicious enough he was basically and still is running why leave when you know youre innocent stay and fight the allegations off especially if there is lack of proof and you're rich it worked for Johnny Depp
That's the thing: because telling makes people uncomfortable and affects their livelihood and they tell you to hold on to your abuse and hold it in even though it starts to destroy you inside. It important to tell someone you trust because if you tell someone they trust, they will spin it in the abusers favor. Look how Puffy denied and threatened until the visual showed who he really is.

I was thinking the same thing...
Oh well, time shouldn't absolve a predator from crimes that he/she committed.
The hell time shouldn't be considered! The story completely changes after that much time, not to mention, the accused bank statement! There's a lot !more to be gained after 40 years of success!
Exactly. Give women in a society power, and watch is fall.
Just him moving to Bali where they have no extradition laws speaks volumes. If he is so innocent why doesn't he stay here in the United States. I hope they can find a way to bring him back here so Justice can be served.
So they should destroy him they way they destroyed MJ, Tyson, Bill cosby, R kelly.. no let him run...
I hope he is smart enough to move to another country start a new life and for heaven's sake he has got to stay off line.

If he is found to be in part of and investigation his ass will be brought back keep thinking that bullshit bali doesn't have a extradition treaty but they have sent Americans back a treaty is a written agreement between two countries two allow extradition not a law so it's possible his ass can be brought back or sent back

To those who think they are trying to destroy him just truly can't see out of the celebrity that they are. John Witherspoon was famous and never had no issues came into this world and left with clean hands among many black entertainers. Some of our people get easily corrupted by money and power and start acting just like the oppressors until they finally get their wake up call. Rev Run hasn't done nothing grimy nor has their other brother. Just a Russ issue
It's hilarious you have to explain that
Russ has a ton more money than all those folks. It's worth making an accusation if it makes you some money. Interestingly, none of these women said anything until they were washed up.
It doesn't happen to everyone but it does happen so it's a legit question
Russ the man behind hip hop
When Rev Run has the show on MTV… I remember Russ didn’t even know his damn nephews n nieces names.. that time on I always knew something was off about him.
Side note: Let's not ignore how innocent the rap game started compared to where we are today. Look at Kurtis Blow in that 1980 clip!
One thing most of these woman have in common is that they all spent time with him alone. They probably were looking for a come up and they got more than what they bargain for. Russel knows exactly why he left the states.
For your information, whenever a woman spends time with a man it is not always for a come up. I'm so sorry you've never been truly loved by a real woman 🙏.

This is a tough one. 13 women is a lot. At the same time, it makes one wonder if after the first woman tells her story whether or not you now have a snowball effect of others who crossed paths with him at one time, now seeing it as a way to cash in or something? That was my first thought after growing up seeing "uncle rush" on Run's house and being a big hip hop fan (so I'm def biased, mos def bias). Also, he was the CEO of Def Jam and a household name, that's a big target for an opportunist.
As I was typing this though, my gut is now telling me there's something here. I'm a dude, have worked In the business world/office setting with a lot of money being made and while most guys are harmless, there are definitely more creeps than we (as non creepy guys), might ever realize. Because this behavior seems unthinkingable to us and we don't often see it first hand, I think there is a gut reaction to thinking "naw, that guy would never do something like that, he's cool!" He might be cool around other guys but most of these creeps are completely different when they're 1-on-1 with women and no one is around. Basically, I guess I'm saying, we don't see what these guys are like because we are not the target. If you really get to know a handful of attractive women who work in these settings and they're honest with you, the shit you will hear is pretty bonkers, it's much more common than we understand as non-creepy dudes. We had a dude at our office pull out his wang in front of a co-worker during biz hours and I'd bet big money she didn't make it up. We alll worked with the guy for 10 years, never would have guessed it. No idea why I'm spending time typing this out but bottom line for me: when there there's a lot of smoke, there's usually at least a little fire.
i d say u are right.
I want you to go on record and say that the Hunter Biden laptop is a Russian hoax because 51 federal agents signed a letter saying it is a fraud. You have empirical evidence that 51 people colluded to lie and you still argue that 13 people making an allegation must somehow mean that they are not lying? Really?
It's never just one accuser. As soon as one does a money grab, the gold diggers come out in droves. The media cleverly hides how most of the women who accused Cosby of sexual assault had bogus stories. Interestingly, for someone accused of murdering his own wife, OJ Simpson has never been accused of sexual assault, is quite odd.
Very well said, brother. I agree. Personally, I don't believe those 13 women are lying. In my mind, I'm inclined to believe that probably most if not all of those women are telling the truth. And to me, the fact that Russ decided to flee to a different country just makes him look even more guilty. 🤷♂
Nawl some dudes just hurt a lot of people
Power should be about mastering how to make effective change, whilst Not being consumed by it. That’s Power. Will power with self respect is another lane from the same root is another battle in life.

Russell Simmons is tripping because he has 500 Million in Celcius shares that Kimora put up to secure her husband bond and now the government is considering seizing all shares as some was purchased with illegal funds (Kimora Husband) and the govt is not seperating Simmons purchase.
That’s why Simmons is saying he’s broke now. Kimora’s husband Tim Leisnner was scamming people in Malaysia and he was ordered to pay 100s of millions to avoid jail time. Simmons sued them because of it, but he ended up losing.
@@dfxstudios Yes, I believe between both of them they had a Billion dollars in Celsius Holdings that Kimora put up and now govt is holding and will most likely seize. Simmons and Leisnner brought 8 million shares at 1.00 a share and now years later shares are 150.00+ and they can not sell.
@@dfxstudios The US government is charging Tim with security fraud and Kimora put up the Celsius shares (half belonged to Simmons) to bond him out of jail until the trial.
This whole thing is terrible. I grew up on hip-hop. I am 56 so i was there at the beginning and Rus was a hero of mine as I got to watch Hip Hop grow. I met Russ twice, once for lunch at the Millennium and he was quiet and kind. However, you don't know these powerful people who are used to getting what they want, when they want. It's pretty sus he's spending so much time in a non-extradition country. Also, when the walls of your family life become so open it shows just how far he has fallen. This is not going to end well for Russ. He's going to be alone, all that money won't mean much if he is by himself.
I will take the money and be happy by myself. I will just pay for it at that point he may not like humans like myself. I wonder why I was even sent here I didn't ask for this.
So he’s the next Bill Cosby😢
no, he won't face anything like Bill Cosby.
If true, it is definitely bad news for him, but it also makes you think what if those in power wanted to ruin him and cooked up these accusations just like they have done and continue to do now to actors and music artist. Hollywood is known for shit like this, it is a very dark industry from what we have learned throughout the years.
Yeah it’s dark AF but I’ve been in the industry years-and women, children and teens get abused hardcore. SAbusers are rampant from people in power. The industry doesn’t have to cook up stories, that’s the press’ job. The industry is more involved in hiding the stories, as they need to keep bad publicity away from thier financial investments. If abuse goes on too long, it eventually finds its way to the light, because people are now speaking up and standing up for themselves. Karma is a bitch, and abuses are getting thiers.

Unless someone went through rape or sexual assault it would be hard to understand the healing process on mental, physical and emotional toll it takes on someone who suffered it [regardless of gender]. There are many reasons a victim may not come forward - ranging from emotional trauma and fear of authority, to a lack of clarity over what constitutes sexual assault and rape. Sometimes going through that process is very cathartic, full of emotional, physical and mental and internal processes to heal a serious offense against own’s personal. And especially when it comes to report people with power in a society which very clearly demonstrate that there are two systems of justice, one for the wealthy and powerful and another for the rest of us. Generally speaking our society tends to blame victims. Self doubt, self blame and growing fears about disclosing something so deeply disturbing and personal is not easy; there’s a lot of pointing fingers, blame and guilt by doubt created in a society that keep place more doubt on victims than perpetrators/abusers. Even for those who do come forward, taking action against an alleged assailant is not easy. Going through the system of reporting is living the assault or rape once again when a victim just want to erased the injury or leaving it behind forever. Thus, many have honest uniformed and are clueless, even those with honest questions about the lingering time and reporting processes tend to misconstrue, create doubt and be in the doubting side of the spectrum in this awful personal experience within the context of broader understanding in this issue. Sexual violence and rape is deeply personal, and forced by someone to do something against your own will should not be something for any victim to be ashamed of reporting and get help and justice, but processes in our society made it that way through belief systems, justice systems and norms to follow. There is always unknown things but do not become another negligent and ignorant person about it, just ask and get educated about it.

Exactly, that is even the reason male victims never tell! No one wants to accept their idols can be criminals!
@@nwatson2773 exactly!! men are MORE likely to keep quiet about getting raped than women but MOST victims don't report it for a bunch of reasons and not being believed and blamed is a main one.
It is crazy that all these women are now talking about all these ancient rapes
This is definitely a tough place to be in. As mentioned from others, 1. why wait 40 years to reveal such a terrible event, 2. Don’t put yourself in any situation where an accusation can be made like this, never get caught privately with another unless it’s consensual , use a body cam for all interactions, get the consent before any intimacy either in writing or on camera. You can’t be too carefully in these times.
If people don't believe you today, what makes you think they would believe you 40 years ago? Both men and women have been sx assaulted and they fear coming forward, especially if the person is famous. Date r@pe is the number 1 type of assault. If you are hanging out with someone, a friend, the last thing you would think happen is to be SA. I agree, get consent before any intimacy. And if you have to put something in their drink to make them unconscious-it is not consensual.
@@sbss924 FAAAAACCCCCCTTTTSS!!!!!
You've answered your own question why people wait or never report these crimes.
Forty years ago, several states hadn't even got around to passing legislation making marital rape a crime. It was tried as rape but many people's attitude felt that what happened between a man and his wife was their (or the husband's) business.
Also, a woman's past relationships and sexual history (not just any possible history of prior accusations of assault or rape) could be used against her to imply she had loose morals and so was asking for it.
Actually, not a lot has changed.

I never buy into stories where these women wait for so long to come forward. It's usually when there is some kind of major business deal going down when these accusations happen. They wait, 20, 40, 60 years to come forward. Then they make a documentary and make tons of money at the same time...

When Simmons comments on " they think your hiding" that is exactly what he is doing and the reason why he refers to " separating" from what they think is a classic example of the primary defence mechanism of DENIAL. DENIAL of his actions and guilt so he does not have to take accountability. DO YOU THINK it is just a coincidence he moved to Indonesia after 3 three accused him of rape etc?

Both good points.
That's the thing: because telling makes people uncomfortable and affects their livelihood and they tell you to hold on to your abuse and hold it in even though it starts to destroy you inside.
It important to tell someone you trust because if you tell someone they trust, they will spin it in the abusers favor.
