Russell Simmons and Brett Ratner have been accused of teaming up to allegedly sexually harass and assault women, according to a new report in the Los Angeles Times.
The Times — which, on Nov. 1, first reported that six women, including Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge, claim that Ratner sexually harassed and assaulted them — reported Sunday on new allegations against Ratner and revealed that longtime friend Russell Simmons allegedly engaged in inappropriate behavior with the director and producer.
One woman, Keri Claussen Khalighi, claims that when she was a 17-year-old fashion model she met Ratner, then an up-and-coming music video director and protege of Simmons, the music mogul who co-founded Def Jam Recordings, and Simmons at a casting call. After dinner one night in 1991, they took her back to Simmons' apartment, ostensibly to show her a music video they had been working on, she told the Times.
But Simmons quickly began making aggressive sexual advances and tore off her clothes, Khalighi told the Times.
NOTE: They're dropping like flies...

How long until the local dirt bags get outed?
As a female, I can name a few females in different companies and organizations that are married with "the perfect family" vibe that would floor some people's views. I'm all for protecting those that need protected but I also think this is a little too much...we'd all be screwed (or is that a sexual innuendo now?)
