In December, he was hit with accusations of sexual misconduct, rape, and assault from a group of other women in exposes published in the New York Times and Los Angeles Times. However, following the publication of the articles, Simmons vehemently denied the allegations and stated that he would present evidence to prove his innocence. He also revealed he was creating a new movement called #NotMe – in response to the #MeToo initiative created to encourage sexual assault victims to come forward. Simmons has allegedly taken a polygraph test in response to the claims he sexually assaulted model Khalighi and claims the results prove his innocence. According to the music mogul’s attorneys, he plans to repeat the polygraph test for allegations made by four other women – and he’ll release the results once he’s completed all the tests.)
