Russell Simmons tells CNN

"In the meantime, please understand that I will not litigate this matter in the media. I am confident that when all is said and all is done, it will be as clear to others as it is to me that I did not do what this lawsuit accuses me of doing."Since last year eight women have accused Russell Simmons of sexual misconduct [click here if you missed that].
