HBO, Warner Bros. Face $20M Lawsuit from Russell Simmons Over Assault Allegations Film

Hip Hop pioneer and business mogul Russell Simmons has filed a $20 million lawsuit in New York against HBO, Warner Bros. Discovery, and the producers of the 2020 documentary On the Record, alleging defamation, emotional distress, and invasion of privacy. The lawsuit claims the film deliberately omitted key evidence, including testimony from more than 20 individuals who Simmons says contradicted the sexual assault allegations featured in the movie.
