Oprah Dashed On Uncle Rush And 50!

The clash of moguls. Disgraced media mogul Russell Simmons slams Oprah Winfrey for doing a video about his sexual accusations instead of white sexual absuers.

The Queen of Media and the co-founder of the legendary Def Jam Records are feuding.

It involves the allegations of sexual predatory behavior. Media mogul Russell Simmons has laid low after women accused him of sexual abuse. Since 2017 launched the MeToo Movement, many powerful individuals in the country have felt the sting. Thanks to Donald J. Trump's election win, many women are coming out with stories of being abused by the very men they've looked up to.

Multiple women have accused Simmons of rape, sexual assault and battery. He has stepped down from Def Jam, Phat Farm, Rush Communications and Credit, Argyleculture and Tantris.

Oprah Winfrey the iconic media mogul and former talk show host decided to host a documentary on AppleTV+ and it features accusers of Simmons.

Simmons decided to get off his perch and chime in on the controversy.

Dearest OPRAH,you have been a shining light to my family and my community. Contributing so much to my life that I couldn’t list a fraction of it in this blog.Ihave given you the gift of meditation and the groundbreaking book”THE POWER OF NOW “we bonded to say the least. This is why it’s so troubling that you choose me to single out in your recent documentry. I have already admitted to being a playboy more (appropriately titled today “womanizer”) sleeping with and putting myself in more compromising situations than almost any man I know. Not 8 or 14 thousand like Warren Beatty or Wilt Chamberlain, but still an embarrassing number. So many that some could reinterpret or reimagine a different recollection of the same experiences. Please note that ur producers said that this upcoming doc was to focus ONLY on 3 hand chosen women. I have refused to get in the mud with any accusers, but let’s acknowledge what i have shared. I have taken and passed nine 3-hour lie detector tests (taken for my daughters), that these stories have been passed on by CNN, NBC, BUZZFEED, NY POST, NY MAG, AND OTHERS. Now that you have reviewed the facts and you SHOULD have learned what I know; that these stories are UNUSABLE and that “hurt people hurt people”. Today I received a call from an old girlfriend from the early 1980s which means that they are using my words/evidence against me and their COMMITMENT/ (all of the claims are 25 to 40 years old) It is impossible to prove what happened 40 years ago, but in my case proof exists of what didn’t happen, mostly signed letters from their own parents, siblings, roommates, band members, interns, and in the case of 2 of your 3 accusers,their own words in their books. Shocking how many people have misused this important powerful revolution for relevance and money. Maybe you should name your documentary “FLAVOR OF LOVE”!? In closing, I am guilty of exploiting, supporting, and making the soundtrack for a grossly unequal society, but i have never been violent or forced myself on anyone. Still I am here to help support a necessary shift in power and consciousness. Let us get to work on uplifting humanity and put this moment and old narrative behind us

Simmons denies the allegations and said that "it's troubling that you choose to single me out in your recent shit. I have already admitted to be a playboy more (appropriately titled today 'womanizer') sleeping with and putting myself in more compromising situations than almost any man I know."

"Not 8 or 14 thousand like Warren Beatty or Wilt Chamberlain, but still an embarrassing number. so many things could reinterpret or reimagine a different recollection of the same experiences."

The Unit's 50 Cent slams Oprah Winfrey for doing videos on Russell Simmons. He said she could be focusing on white predators like Donald Trump.

Over a dozen women have came forward with allegations against Simmons, with one unidentified woman filing a $10 million lawsuit in March 2018 accusing him of rape. The lawsuit is pending after Simmons tried to get it dismissed in August.

Winfrey's Apple+ documentary will focus on "a former music executive who grapples with whether to go public with her story of assault and abuse by a notable figure in the industry."

As you expect, rap troll 50 Cent got into the mix. He posted this along with Snoop Dogg and others.

Oprah also received criticism from some who questioned why she wasn't focusing on Harvey Weinstein or Jeffrey Epstein. 50 Cent took to Instagram to defend Simmons, saying he doesn't "understand why Oprah is going after black men."

50 Cent wants his 25 million Instagram followers to know that Oprah Winfrey is "going after Black men." After it was announced last week that Winfrey will be executive producing a documentary about the sexual misconduct allegations against Russell Simmons, the rapper called her out for choosing the hip-hop mogul as the subject of her new project and not, instead, white movie producer Harvey Weinstein. "I just want to know why she is only going after her own," 50 Cent wrote in one of several Instagram posts on the matter. "When it's clear the penalties have been far more extreme for African American men."
