Russell Simmons is accused of rape by THREE women: Music mogul and Def Jam founder regularly 'exposed his erect penis' to one woman and left one victim 'afraid to be in a room full of men'
Drew Dixon was working as an executive at Def Jam Recordings in 1995 when she was allegedly raped by Simmons
Tina Baker, a singer who Simmons managed in the early 90s, claims he sexually assaulted her after inviting her 'discuss her career' at his place
Music journalist Toni Sallie shared a very similar story, saying she was raped in 1988 after he invited her to attend a party for his girlfriend at his apartment
When she arrived, she says they were the only two there
Sidney Lumet's daughter Jenny, an actress, also accused Simmons last month of forcing her to have sex after allegedly locking her in his car in 1991
Former model Keri Claussen Khalighi claims she too was assaulted by him in the same apartment as Brett Ratner watched
