Two of at least 12 women alleging sexual misconduct against music mogul Russell Simmons, actress Natashia Williams-Blach and musician Sherri Hines, shared their stories live on Megyn Kelly Today.

Kelly set the stage, telling viewers the claims made by women include five allegations of rape. Hines, who is among those – her claim dates back to 1988 – told Kelly, “I just couldn’t believe I was violated like that.”

Simmons vehemently denies the claims, and has said the various allegations against him “range from the patently untrue to frivolous and hurtful claims,” insisting he has “never been violent or abusive to any woman in any way at any time in my entire life.”
