Multiple women have come forward to accuse hip-hop producer Russell Simmons of rape, harassment and assault, according to reports in the The New York Times and Los Angeles Times.

Some of the incidents detailed in the reports published Wednesday involve Simmons allegedly revealing his erect penis to a female colleague and a masseuse, attacking a woman and pushing an alleged victim into a broom closet. The alleged incidents date from 1983 to 2016.

At least four of the victims say Simmons raped them.

Simmons, who co-founded the hip-hop label Def Jam, then went on to build a branded yoga empire, denied the claims reported in the L.A. Times and New York Times. more
