Russell Simmons Isn't 'Too Angry' About All Those Rape Allegations Being Made Against Him

Russell Simmons wants a brighter future for his daughters — even if that means spilling his own blood to get there.
In attempt to flip the script on the waves of sexual assault allegations that have come out against him, the music mogul says he doesn’t mind being “collateral damage” in the #MeToo movement, despite the fact that he claims he’s completely innocent!
Though the Def Jam Recordings founder and one of his accusers recently agreed to dismiss the $5 million lawsuit she filed against him, Simmons still faces a separate $10 million lawsuit and multiple sexual misconduct claims.
In a new statement on Instagram, the 60-year-old said he isn’t “too angry” about the lingering allegations — because he wants to be “a forward thinker and supporter of the necessary change.”

Simmons added that even if there’s “a little blood on my shoulders,” he supports #MeToo and Time’s Up, as he hopes the movements will create a “better world” for his daughters, 18-year-old Ming and 15-year-old Aoki.
To sum it up: Simmons wants to make it clear that he completely supports all the women coming forward with allegations — just not the ones accusing HIM. Cool, got it.
Are U buying this, Perezious Readers? Read his full statement (below):

The reason I haven’t been too angry about my personal situation is because listening intently to the dialogue around the #metoo movement has inspired me to look beyond my personal scenario. In the end I’ll be fine. I’ve accepted responsibility for the life that I have lived and been very forcefully and vehemently denying accusations for things that I have not done. A little blood on my shoulders so that my daughters see a better world is worth it. This revolution is bloody, true. There is collateral damage, also true. But today my meditation reminded me yet again that black women have bared the biggest burden for sure. And for sure ALL women of ALL RACES and RELIGONS (in part because of and supported by all great religions and institutions) have lived unequal throughout the ages, in unjust and Incredibly unfair circumstances. I want to be a forward thinker and supporter of the necessary change. Here is what I believe to be a fact if we continue to let the masculine energy govern our world without guidance from the feminine forces then men will destroy the planet, or atleast make in uninhabitable for humans. So for so many reasons the goal should be to be inclusive, fair and promote equality on all levels. We have a long way to go I’m along for the ride.A post shared by Russell Simmons (@unclerush) on Apr 30, 2018 at 6:13pm PDT
