Oprah Winfrey Takes Her Name Off Documentary About Russell Simmons

Oprah Winfrey recently decided to step down from serving as an executive producer on a documentary that explores sexual assault allegations made against music mogul Russell Simmons. Oprah said Simmons tried convincing her to back away from the film, but she made it clear his request had no bearing on her decision. She says she had issues with the film long before Simmons made his complaint, and made it clear that she still supports the women interviewed.
