Foxy Brown Defends Russell Simmons in Open Letter

Not many Def Jam associated acts have come forth to defend Russell Simmons about these recent sexual misconduct allegations. 

Foxy Brown posted an open letter dedicated to Russell Simmons on Instagram. The post features a photo of Fox and Russell sitting front row at a fashion show from years ago, and has the song “Solid As a Rock” from reggae artist Sizzla playing in the background. She addresses her support for her former boss in the caption.

“An open letter……….?,” she starts. “Attesting to the character of the man who, as a teenager saved my life. Salaciousness and scandal garners headlines. Cowards cower. But as inarguably, Russell’s biggest Def Jam female protege, (who birthed an era of overtly evocative stars), the man I’ve known and loved, was nothing more than the respectful, respected, gentleman and GODFATHER OF HIP-HOP we’ve all adored. In staunch support, Praying for you Russ!?. Let’s send our LOVE. ❤Fox @unclerush.”
