Russell Simmons is pulling out all the stops and has decided to “properly defend” himself against multiple allegations of rape. He took to Instagram on Thursday with a post announcing once again that he is innocent and intends to prove it. Simmons has launched a #NotMe hashtag which has set Twitter ablaze.

“Today, I begin to properly defend myself. I will prove without any doubt that I am innocent of all rape charges,” Simmons wrote. “I will focus on ‘The Original Sin’ (Keri Claussen), the claim that created this insane pile on of my #MeToo. Stay tuned! We’ll share information today… And tomorrow the case of Jenny Lumet.”

Now, some people are wondering if Simmons is making a huge mistake. As common procedure, the NYPD has opened an investigation into some of the charges against him. Twitter’s responses to the music mogul’s new campaign would suggest that he is committing suicide in the court of public opinion.

“I refuse to believe this man has a PR team,” Raqueletta Moss (@CeePaul) wrote. “Because #notme has got to be the absolute worst possible move someone could make under these circumstances.”

While Simmons said that he doesn’t intend to hijack the #MeToo movement and diminish it, some residents of Twitterville are not here for it.

Russell Simmons has been accused of sexual violence by 7+ women now and he decides to start #NotMe. Nah you piece of shit #YesYou. There is an insidious nature to do something like this, to derail a movement that has empowered so many women to absolve oneself of responsibility.

“Russell Simmons first apologized for ‘insensitivity’ to harassment and rape charges and stepped down from his positions,” Jules (@JW4Resistance) wrote. “But yesterday he used the hashtag #NotMe, which is not only a repudiation of the charges but also a shameless attempt to reassign the #MeToo movement. No.”

Citing the article in Variety about Simmons claims of innocence, Michaela Angela Davis responded to his #Not Me hashtag with a “not now.”

“Yo, #NotMe? Really? Not Now, son. Black women are the most vulnerable and violated,” Davis said.

Publicist, Kelly Cutrone, who claims that she fought off Simmons’ attempt to rape her in 1991, got wind of Simmons’ #NotMe campaign and told Page Six exactly what she thought of it.

“The #NotMe thing? I’m going to do a #YeahYou. F*ck you,” Cutrone said.

Simmons Wants Lie Detector Tests For Himself & His Accusers

While there are many who believe that Simmons has a right to face his accusers and defend himself, the #NotMe hashtag, others believe it seems hostile and comes across as a slap in the face to those who have told their #MeToo stories. Against his attorneys’ advice, he has even started taking lie detector tests and has challenged his accusers to do the same. Simmons wants to hold his accusers accountable, but this strategy may very well backfire in his face. At the same time though, IF he is being wrongly accused, shouldn’t he have an equal right to fight back against the claims in however he sees fit? Just a thought, that’s all. Anyways, here’s what his attorneys had to say…

“All I can say is Charlie is one of the most magnificent and kind people that God ever created,” he said. “And I can’t see Charlie Sheen doing anything inappropriate.”

https://youtu.be/ay3F40h85DQ

McCrary went on to offer his own theory of why he thinks that former actor Dominick Brascia would go public on Haim’s behalf now.

“People who are thirsty are always looking for a good drink and from what I know, Charlie Sheen will quench your thirst. Drink that,” he continued.

McCrary went on to say that Sheen isn’t capable of raping anybody and that people like Brascia are just looking to use him for fame. And he could be right. Sheen has categorically denied taking advantage of Haim and his mother believes him. She has named another person as her son’s molester. But McCrary might know a child predator when he sees one. He told TMZ that he was a victim early in his career.

“I will say this though, I was inappropriately touched by a Hollywood executive, and I’m not going to tell on nobody,” McCrary said.

The TMZ reporter tried to get more details about McCrary’s alleged attack by asking if the molestation happened while he was working on the sitcom Family Matters. The former child actor said that he was keeping the details quiet because he’s not “thirsty” for attention.

“This happened when I was a young man,” McCrary continued. “I’m not going to say, but that’s what it is. See, I’m not thirsty, so I ain’t gotta tell my business because I’m not thirsty.”

Upon his exit, the former NFL player and fitness buff confirmed the filing and told the reporter why he did it.

“Because, you know, people have to be held accountable,” Crews said.

When asked if he also planned to file a civil suit against his attacker, Crews made it clear that he would. He said that his attorneys will help him decide how much money he should demand in the lawsuit.

“Yep. We’re going all the way,” Crews said.

Who Attacked Crews?

The reporter then tried to get Crews to do something that, thus far, no one has been able to do–get Crews to name his attacker. But the actor hopped into his SUV without offering an answer. Reports revealed last week said that the culprit was Adam Venit. He heads up the motion picture group at William Morris Endeavor (WME). Crews is represented by the agency. According to TMZ sources, the actor named Venit in his formal complaint.

Deadline reported that Venit has been on administrative leave ever since news of the allegations broke. He is still employed by the agency. Venit’s client list includes big-name talents including Adam Sandler, Sylvester Stallone, Emma Stone, Brett Radner, and Dustin Hoffman. Ironically, Radner and Hoffman are now faces sexual harassment accusations of their own.

What Made Crews Come Forward?

This entire series of revelations started when Crews tweeted his #MeToo story referencing the assault that he said took place at an industry function last year. The “high level Hollywood executive came over 2 me and groped my privates,” Crews wrote. He said that his wife witnessed the assault.

Crews resisted the urge to beat the man up because he immediately realized that a big, strong, 240-pound Black man who stomped out a “Hollywood Honcho” probably wouldn’t fare well legally or professionally. Crews did talk to everybody he knew that worked with his attacker about what happened the next day. But he didn’t know what else to do until now.

Taking Action

Crews said that coupled with the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal, his experience gave him PTSD. He had to speak out. Many have commended him for his brave stance which could have serious implications for his career. On the other hand, there are those who still believe that men don’t get harassed. Crews should just keep quiet, keep working, and take the money and run.

Terry Crews is doing his part to make sure that powerful people in Hollywood don’t take advantage of people who just want to use their gifts and talents to earn a living. He is in this thing for the long haul. Bravo.

He Knows A Pedophile When He Sees One

In 1993, Jackson was accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy. Feldman, who was once preyed upon by an industry figure when he was a rising star in film, know knows a pedophile when he sees one. Jackson never fit the bill.

“I know the difference between pedophiles and not pedophiles because I’ve been molested,” Feldman told authorities over two decades ago.

Feldman is determined to get his story out. During a recent sit-down with Matt Lauer on the Today show, he vowed to produce a feature film where he will expose every entertainment executive, actor, manager, and anyone else he knows who have preyed on children.

A $10 Million Project?

The former child star is trying to raise a whopping $10 million for the project. The budget will cover expenses associated with making the film as well as the legal team and around-the-clock security that he will need to protect himself from these very powerful people until the project is completed.

Lauer asked Feldman why he wouldn’t just go to the police again. The actor said that the statute of limitations had long passed and he couldn’t trust them to follow through on his accusations.

“If anyone wants to go back to 1993 when I was interviewed by the Santa Barbara Police Department, I sat down and I gave them the names,” Feldman told Lauer. “They’re on record. They have all of this information.”

Michael Was The Big Brother He Never Had

Feldman has vowed to get the truth out come hell or high water. Not only does he plan to put a stop to the abuse of children, he wants to clear Michael’s name once and for all. In a CNN interview from 2013, Feldman told Piers Morgan exactly what their relationship was.

“He was the big brother I never had quite honestly,” Feldman told Morgan. “He was everything to me as a kid. He taught me about loving animals, vegetarianism, animal rights, environmental issues, caring about your fans, how to treat your fans…”

Feldman went on to talk about how they bonded over the fact that, as children, they both had to get up and go to work everyday. He and Michael were robbed of their childhoods. The same year, Feldman told Huff Post Live that Michael was a victim of a witch hunt.

“He was not that guy,” he said. “He was a guy who was so innocent, so kind of sheltered, you couldn’t even swear around him. You couldn’t talk about drugs. You couldn’t talk about nude women. You couldn’t talk about sex. You couldn’t talk about anything because he was a very religious man.”

If Feldman’s movie is made, Hollywood will never be the same. He will expose a culture that may finally hold who he sees as the real bad guys accountable. And that would be a very good thing.

For the past few days, we’ve all been seeing the large amount of female celebs who are finding their voices to speak out against male Hollywood execs abusing their power against women in Hollywood. After hearing all of these accounts from many different female celebs,’ the real Jilly from Philly done seeped outta Mrs. Scott. She unleashed a flurry of tweets about what she, too, experienced with Harvey Weinstein and she threw some curse words in there, to emphasis how she really feels.

Jill Scott Blasts Harvey Weinstein Over Their Past Encounter

On early Friday (10-20-2017) Jill first opened up by saying:

“When I met Harvey Weinstein, he was RUDE. In the NASTIEST tone he said “Who told you to get pregnant?!” And rolled his eyes in disgust. I stayed away from him after. Who acts that way towards a pregnant woman?? Power to all the women bullied by assholes. Power in general.

Fan Reactions

One of Jill’s fans (@Santhony53) soon replied to her comments stating, “Hollywood and the music industry both have predators but people still work with them I don’t understand it.”

Jill made sure to answer her fan with another jab at Weinstein: “I do. It’s all about the dream. Some powerful assholes have the juice to crush them.”

Many fans, though shocked by her reveal, then began to applaud Jill for speaking out:

After one fan told her how proud they were of her for speaking out, Jill said “I speak on what I know to be true…

At this point, Harvey Weinstein has now checked himself into a sex rehabilitation center in somewhere, USA…doesn’t really matter. The thing that matters is that the female celebrities he’s allegedly degraded in various ways, continue to speak out and be an example for women everywhere to stand in their truths and not be ashamed.

In Case You Missed It: Lupita Nyong’o’s Reveals Her Past Incidents w/Weinstein

In case you missed it, Lupita Nyong’o came forward the other day as well, and reveled that in 2011, when she was still a starving up and coming actress, Harvey sexually degraded her twice within a few months span. Once during a screening of his film at his home, while his kids and family were reportedly present. Here’s part of what Lupita wrote via NY Times:

I settled in for the film, but about 15 minutes in, Harvey came for me, saying he wanted to show me something. I protested that I wanted to finish the film first, but he insisted I go with him, laying down the law as though I too was one of his children. I did not want another back-and-forth in front of his kids, so I complied and left the room with him. I explained that I really wanted to see the film. He said we’d go back shortly.

Harvey led me into a bedroom — his bedroom — and announced that he wanted to give me a massage. I thought he was joking at first. He was not. For the first time since I met him, I felt unsafe. I panicked a little and thought quickly to offer to give him one instead: It would allow me to be in control physically, to know exactly where his hands were at all times.

Part of our drama school curriculum at Yale included body work, using massage techniques on one another to understand the connection between body, mind and emotion, and so I felt I could rationalize giving him one and keep a semblance of professionalism in spite of the bizarre circumstance. He agreed to this and lay on the bed. I began to massage his back to buy myself time to figure out how to extricate myself from this undesirable situation. Before long he said he wanted to take off his pants. I told him not to do that and informed him that it would make me extremely uncomfortable. He got up anyway to do so and I headed for the door, saying that I was not at all comfortable with that. “If we’re not going to watch the film, I really should head back to school,” I said.

I opened the door and stood by the frame. He put his shirt on and again mentioned how stubborn I was. I agreed with an easy laugh, trying to get myself out of the situation safely. I was after all on his premises, and the members of his household, the potential witnesses, were all (strategically, it seems to me now) in a soundproof room.

Lupita said she ultimately left Weinstein’s home that day and that she “didn’t know how to process” the massage incident. But she said she just tried to tuck it away in the back of her mind and vowed never to work with him, which he tried to get her to do after she’d become successful. Lupita refused. You can read about what else Lupita said Harvey Weinstein did to her in the second incident HERE…it was just as degrading.

The post Jill Scott The Latest To Expose How Ousted Hollywood Exec Harvey Weinstein Degraded Her appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

It almost seems like there’s no one Weinstein hasn’t approached. Story after story unfolds as more women feel compelled to share their sides of horrifying confrontations with Harvey.

https://twitter.com/MagazinAisle/status/921233094480236546

Via New York Times, Lupita Nyong’o submitted her personal story in hopes of helping sexual harassment and assault victims realize they aren’t alone.

“I had felt very much alone when these things happened, and I had blamed myself for a lot of it, quite like many of the other women who have shared their stories. But now that this is being discussed openly, I have not been able to avoid the memories resurfacing. I have felt sick in the pit of my stomach.”

According to Lupita, after meeting Weinstein in Berlin, she was invited to his home in Westport. Supposedly, he said she’d be attending a private film screening.

BUT FIRST

Harvey wanted the two of them to have a private lunch together at a nearby restaurant.

Lupita elaborates as follows.

“I did not think much of this. It was a busy restaurant, and as soon as we sat down he ordered a vodka and diet soda for himself. I asked for a juice.”

According to Nyong’o, Harvey was “unimpressed” with her beverage choice. He told the waiter to bring her vodka and soda anyway.

“I declined and said I wanted the juice. We went back and forth until finally he turned to the waiter and said, ‘Get her what I tell you to get her. I’m the one paying the bill.’ I smiled and remained silent.”

Wow!

WEINSTEIN HAD ONLY JUST BEGUN

Lupita says the waiter returned with the beverages Harvey ordered for her. He sat them beside her water. However, she only drank the water.

He, then, demanded that she drink the alcohol and soda. She said she wouldn’t. Of course, he asked “why not?” She responded as follows.

“Because I don’t like vodka, and I don’t like diet soda, and I don’t like them together.”

So, Harvey called her stubborn and gave up his alcohol attempt.

https://twitter.com/dchas7/status/921232647216435200

Yet, that was just the start of things to come.

THE ‘TOUR’

Once Nyong’o got to Weinstein’s house, she met his family. Afterward, he took her on a brief tour of the place. And eventually, he got everyone together in the screening room to watch his recent film.

But, ah ha. There’s deception afoot.

According to Lupita, approximately 15 minutes into it, Harvey came back to the screening room while she was watching the movie.

I am sad that our own star Lupita Nyong'o was also sexually harrassed by Harvey Weinstein

— Kanyi Joseph (@kanyijoseph1) October 20, 2017

He asked her to follow him.

At first, she protested — saying she’d rather finish the movie first. However, she says he treated her almost like one of his children and demanded she follow him.

So, in order to not make a scene, she says she complied.

INTO HIS BEDROOM

Here’s where things got scary-strange. Lupita notes that, at this point, Harvey Weinstein told her he wanted to give her a massage!

“I thought he was joking at first. He was not. For the first time since I met him, I felt unsafe. I panicked a little and thought quickly to offer to give him one instead: It would allow me to be in control physically, to know exactly where his hands were at all times.”

She mentions that Harvey agreed and laid on the bed. According to her writings, Lupita started massaging his back in order to buy herself “time to figure out how to extricate [herself] from [the] undesirable situation,” she explains.

Yet and still, Weinstein allegedly wanted to take things to a stranger level. According to Lupita, he told her that he wanted to remove his pants.

And before she could even process what he had said, he was up and getting ready to strip.

Nyong’o immediately headed for the door and told Harvey she was uncomfortable with the situation.

“If we’re not going to watch the film, I really should head back to school,” Lupita told him.

She says he began to put on his shirt, all while calling her “stubborn.” Lupita states that she laughed nervously while agreeing.

https://twitter.com/TheCelebrityCo/status/921228020630806528

Even more weird, she figured out — after the fact — that he possibly placed everyone in the screening room for that purpose…since it’s soundproof.

So, she left.

THAT WAS THE FIRST ENCOUNTER; THERE WAS ANOTHER

Lupita Nyong’o had locked in her mind she would not accept anymore “Harvey Weinstein” private invitations.

However, given his affluence in the entertainment industry, she still wasn’t exactly burning bridges.

She eventually invited him to one of her productions at Yale University. Harvey agreed to show. But when it was time to honor his commitment, he flaked.

Nevertheless, as you might guess, he sent Lupita another invitation to join him.

This time though, she was welcome to bring whomever as company.

Nyong’o asked two male friends to accompany her — as she should’ve.

Once they arrived, she said Harvey Weinstein appeared as a totally different person.

“The talk was shop the whole time and Harvey held court with ease. He was charming and funny once more, and I felt confused about the discomfort I had previously experienced. I looked at the actress who I was informed had just worked with him on a project, searching her face for any sort of indication that she too had been made to feel uncomfortable by this powerful man, but of course I saw nothing.”

His behavior had her second-guessing the whole “massage” experience. Like, maybe she misunderstood him somewhere along the lines.

“I left feeling that perhaps he had learned my boundaries and was going to respect them,” Lupita states.

NOPE!

A few months later, Harvey sends for Lupita once more — according to her story via New York Times.

She doesn’t realize it, but he’s giving it another try.

Once there, she was greeted by a female assistant. When Lupita questioned the whereabouts of everyone else, she was informed it would just be her and Weinstein. However, the assistant was going to sit with Nyong’o until Harvey arrived.

“She seemed on edge, but I could only imagine how stressful it was to work for a man who had so much going on,” Lupita states.

She says the assistant “immediately” disappeared once Weinstein arrived.

Getting right to it, they ordered drinks and starters.

— Urban News Online (@1urbannews) October 20, 2017

Lupita wisely went the non-alcoholic route, and Harvey was upset about it. She says he wasn’t wasting time that go-round. He mentioned as follows.

“Let’s cut to the chase. I have a private room upstairs where we can have the rest of our meal.”

Nyong’o says she was totally shocked and declined the offer. After going back and forth about it, Harvey said: “Then I guess we are two ships passing in the night.”

Then, he made off-putting comments regarding her future career, or possibly the lack thereof.

After she left, she said she never heard back from him until she ran into him at the 12 Years a Slave screening. He made it his point to find her at the after-party.

According to Lupita, he couldn’t believe how fast she rose to her career position.

He admitted to treating her badly in the past and said he was ashamed. He also promised to respect her going forward. Yet, Lupita was already done.

“I said thank you and left it at that. But I made a quiet promise to myself to never ever work with Harvey Weinstein.”

She said he tried various times to get her on his projects thereafter. However, that’s just not something she’s trying to do at this point in her life and career.

“Now that we are speaking, let us never shut up about this kind of thing. I speak up to make certain that this is not the kind of misconduct that deserves a second chance. I speak up to contribute to the end of the conspiracy of silence.”

Dragged Into Drama:

Our sources say Harvey has repeatedly told his team and friends that Oprah called him earlier this week and said he needed to speak out and defend himself, and when he did she would be right there supporting him. We’re told Harvey has said a number of powerful people have called to voice support, but he singled out Oprah over and over. – TMZ

As expected, this alleged “support” has sparked outrage among Oprah’s fans and people just can’t fathom how she could support Weinstein when she, too, was once a rape victim. Now social media users are weighing in on the situation and some of the speculation is quite disturbing.

For Weinstein, Oprah’s support would seem like a good look for the public eye, but are his alleged claims true? Apparently, there’s another side to this story and Oprah’s camp is setting the record straight.

Oprah’s Side Of the Story:

Despite Weinstein’s claims, Oprah Winfrey’s camp is telling a whole different story. Oprah’s team has shut those claims down and refuted Weinstein’s claims. The billionaire businesswoman has clarified, through her official spokesperson, that she has NOT spoken with Weinstein, but she is interested in doing an exclusive 60-minute interview him only if he’s willing to tell the truth: 

“Oprah has not spoken to Harvey Weinstein directly. Someone from his team reached out to her to see if she would talk to him, and she said she would if it was for an interview. There are no plans for an interview at this time. She was only interested if he’d look in the mirror and give her the honest, bone marrow truth,” said Oprah’s spokesperson.

It was also reported that Oprah then took to Twitter to voice her views on Weinstein:

Via TMZ: “I’ve been processing the accounts of Harvey Weinstein’s behavior and haven’t been able to find the words to articulate the magnitude of the situation.”

She then quotes filmmaker James Schamus, who said, “This is the story of one predator and his many victims; but it is also a story about an overwhelming systemic enabling, and until that story is fully told we will fall far short of stopping future depredations on a similar scale.”

Unfortunately, the whole situation still has fans givin’ Oprah the side eye, but hopefully, there’s nothing ill about her intent. It is not clear yet whether Oprah will interview Weinstein or not.

The post Oprah Claps Back After Alleged Sexual Predator Harvey Weinstein Reportedly Lies On Her appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

As the saga continues to unfold with mounting allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault against Harvey Weinstein, attention is being turned towards the fate of the company he helped build now that he has been ousted. TMZ reported that Jay Z wants a bigger piece of the pie. The rapper and mogul has partnered with a group of investors to buy the fallen Hollywood heavyweight’s 23 percent stake in the Weinstein Company (TWC).

Jay Z currently has a first-look deal with TWC where he teamed up with Weinstein to produce the six-part Starz and Netflix series Time: The Kalief Browder Story. A series on Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teen who was murdered by George Zimmerman, is set to begin production soon. The yet-to-be-identified members of the investment group reportedly include a billionaire as well as a very well-known movie producer. Closing this deal would be a game changer in television and film. Jay Z would have the opportunity to control who gets to tell our stories and how our stories are told.

Harvey and his brother Bob, who founded Academy Award-winning Miramax Films in 1979, launched TWC in October 2005. The company produces and distributes both film and television projects which include blockbusters like Django Unchained, Lee Daniels’ The Butler, and the “Project Runway” television franchise. Harvey’s departure leaves a huge void that TWC needs to fill quickly.

On Thursday morning, Harvey Weinstein broke his silence saying that he and his wife have separated. He is checking into a sex rehab facility in Arizona for treatment. But more trouble looms for the entertainment mogul as Fox Business reported that the U.S. Justice Department has ordered the FBI to launch an investigation into Weinstein which could mean even more trouble for TWC.

“…We discussed the possibility of a separation and I encouraged her to do what was in her heart. In the end, she made the decision to separate,” Weinstein said in a statement.

They say that success is where opportunity meets preparation. Assuming that’s true, Jay Z is standing at the intersection. If he pulls this off, the Hollywood game will never be the same. Talk about a takeover.

And given the way things are going these days, Terry Crews’ conclusion would’ve been accurate.

That would’ve been the headline (or worse), and it probably would’ve been accompanied by several angles to Crews’ arrest.

BUT THERE’S MORE TO THE STORY

Terry mentions that the Hollywood executive called him soon after to apologize for his actions.

However, the exec didn’t offer Crews an explanation of why he was sexually groped in the first place.

Yet with the way the industry is set up, Terry decided not to pursue it further. He said he felt the industry would’ve ostracized him for coming forth about being assaulted.
