Russell Simmons Says He Took 9 Lie Detector Tests amid Sexual Assault Allegations
The Def Jam co-founder spoke about the allegations of sexual misconduct against him on ‘In Depth with Graham Bensinger’
Russell Simmons said he has taken a total of nine lie detector tests since being accused of sexual assault by 18 women.
The music industry executive, 66, appeared on the latest episode of In Depth with Graham Bensinger and admitted to being “crude” and in “compromising situations” in the past, but continues to deny any violent allegations against him. In the interview released on Wednesday, he explained that he’s taken a number of polygraph tests since over a dozen women have come forward with sexual misconduct allegations, including rape, against him.
“I took nine lie detector tests, people don't know that,” said Simmons, who was first accused of sexual assault in 2017. “Nine separate — seven from the Chairman of the Polygraph Association. One for each and serious accusation.”
He added, “Three hours per test by two polygraph examiners — one that I’ve never done this to anyone and one, I've never done to each individual.”
“Some people say that they're not accurate, but it's 94% accurate,” Simmons continued. “I did nine of them, it's pretty clear that I don't believe it. I even asked if, ‘Well, what if I believe it, but it's not true?’ He said, ‘Your subconscious will get you.’ I don't know how true that is, but that's what was told to me by the Chairman of the Polygraph Association.”
After the Def Jam Recordings co-founder said that there’s footage available of the polygraph tests but that “no one in the mainstream would cover it,” he said it’s because “there’s a narrative” that “we don't wanna go backwards, we wanna believe women.”
