In a Los Angeles Times piece published in November 2017, the co-founder of Def Jam Recordings is accused of carrying out sexual misconduct against women, including one alleged incident in which Brett Ratner allegedly watched as Simmons forced a woman to perform oral sex on him.

News and Ratner's attorney told the Los Angeles Times that the producer had "no recollection" of Khalighi asking him for help and denied witnessing her "protest."
A month later, the New York Times reported that three people accused Simmons of rape, while the Los Angeles Times reported that five additional women have come forward with new stories of alleged sexual misconduct against him. Simmons said in a statement, "I vehemently deny all these allegations. These horrific accusations have shocked me to my core and all of my relations have been consensual."
