On Monday, author Sil Lai Abrams explained how her rape accusation against music mogul Russell Simmons and sexual assault charge against then – “Extra” host A.J. Calloway were allegedly killed off by NBC in 2018.

Abrams says Simmons, who has since moved to Bali, raped her in 1994. Mr. Calloway, who no longer works at “Extra” — which “airs in major markets on NBC owned-and-operated stations,” according to The Hollywood Reporter — allegedly sexually assaulted the author in 2006. Both Simmons and Calloway have denied the allegations.
