*As dozens of women accuse Russell Simmons of sexual harassment, assault and rape, the hip hop mogul took to Twitter Tuesday to express his love for both the #MeToo movement and black women in general.
“The reason I haven’t been angry about my personal situation is because (I’m) listening to dialogue around the #metoo movement and looking beyond my own scenario,” Simmons said in the caption of an image he shared that read: “Shout out to black women just because.”
