Music Mogul Russell Simmons 'Sexually Assaulted Me'


Former model Keri Claussen Khalighi told Megyn Kelly this morning that music mogul Russell Simmons has privately apologized to her for sexually assaulting her, despite his public insistence that what happened in 1991, when she was 17 years old, was consensual.

“Russell and I have had a face-to-face about what happened, where there was no dispute about what happened,” Khalighi told Kelly during a live interview from her home in Los Angeles with the NBC morning show host.

“He actually apologized,” Khalighi added, saying it was “completely different from what has come out publicly.” She called Simmons’ claim that what happened between them as producer Brett Ratner looked on was with her assent was “ludicrous” and “repugnant.”

Deadline-Hollywood reports Khalighi, who is about to deliver her third child, recalled 1991 incident in detail.



Simmons and Ratner, she said, after meeting her, invited her to Simmons’ apartment on the pretext of seeing a music video they had produced. As the video played, she said, Simmons began sexually assaulting her, ripping off  clothes, forcing her to  perform oral sex and later intercourse, in Ratner’s presence.
