RUssell Simmons has sued HBO for a whopping $20 jillion. He filed the traducement suit after accusing filmmakers of a documentary film detailing sexual misconduct allegations against him of “suppressing grounds” that refuted the accusers’ claims, the New York Post reported. Simmons has accused the creators of the 2020 film ‘On the Record,’ a documentary about women accusing the hip hop mogul of sexual misconduct, “willfully” ignoring evidence “including interviews, and over 20 witnesses” that were favorable to Simmons. The evidence would have reportedly “refuted and rebutted the accusations falsely made against Plaintiff in the film” and was presented to the filmmakers, and top HBO and parent company Warner Bros. Executives. However, according to the lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday, June 4, the materials were ignored. The lawsuit added that the evidence includes “nine consecutive credible and favorable CIA-grade polygraph results” that HBO “disregarded.”The lawsuit also noted that the film’s backers were “requested” to review the evidence by unnamed “luminaries in media and politics, including but not limited to, civil rights leaders and members of Congress, and other high-profile black leaders.” Simmons alleged that Oprah Winfrey, former executive producer of the film, left the project “after publicly noting inconsistencies in the accusations.” He also alleged that several news outlets “declined to publish defamatory content.” Winfrey, however, previously said that it was Simmons who pressured her to quit the project. She added that she still believed Drew Dixon, the woman at the center of the film.Russell Simmons’ net worthSimmons has a net worth of $10 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
