Russell Simmons is apologizing for a
Harriet tough man comedy skit that was posted
on that you to page that see %uh basically controls
and it was meant to be a joke it was meant to be funny
up with the contents of the video were very offensive to
many people which is why he ultimately ended up apologizing for
basically featured a woman dresses Harriet Tubman
I getting a friend of hers to film her
having sex with a her owner and of course she's a slave
and the reason why she did that was so she can get leverage to convince him
are the slave owner to work on the Underground Railroad
okay so I i watch the video yeah
yeah and and so russell's actually on the outer skin yesterday and we talked
to about time we get back live in a second
out but when Ian mention it during interview I thought that seems pretty
racy and I told them that is your about the same but I thought like
draw some is impossible that of all right yeah I went back then later and
watch it on all deaf digital
which is still up there was like yeah food scandal uncomfortable
their definitely having sex in sissies the
master and I know there haha they're screwing him over at the end
buzz like men as pretty ballsy
it's done in the name of comedy and you know how we are we what we like to give
I you know a pass to comedians
and if it's done collar but at the same time you watch it and it makes a mockery
out of Harriet Tubman
and so I did are you going to watch the video judge for yourselves but with that
said trigger the first video
yes so I rustlers hey bro love in our interview with him yesterday
so want to give you half as we know this before he apologize it became
the cover will become a media storm right after the interview so this is
what he said before
Harriet Tubman sex diaries on today beginning today the hair
for Harriet you think that are the lot Prime Minister
I could but that up by you can watch it but I've been up to will you make that
she makes you end up
you know cheap cheap you know is a another a big you too but based on the
cloud as a slave he's filming
and get the the slave owner she's damn that's a serious play smash hit as he
tells the
this label and maybe get to dig in a href the day the
the underground rail for the slave owner yeah because the sex tape
okay now i at the time I NY said
and I'm thinking ross-simons knows what he's doing reflected
and like I said there's like I Q I couldn't remember your %uh simmers
as you do whatever you want but JR didn't kinda turn out that way
part of his apology was that he's what is it always there or NAACP
yes so the NAACP was highly critical love this kid and
Russell Simmons decided to apologize to them he says I'm a very liberal person
with the ex get my first impression of Harriet Tubman piece was that
it was about what one love up what wanna the actor said in the video
162 years later they're still tremendous injustice
and with Harriet Tubman outweighing the slave master I thought it was
politically correct
he continues to say silly me I can now understand why so many people are upset
I've taken down the video lastly I would never condone violence against women in
any form
and for all those I offended I'm sincerely sorry
so Jr a well you're black or not
this is a still way out about yeah it doesn't
um but %uh but it was a very clever I guess
because I guess at what he is doing like I wonder what this is I didn't see it is
and what he brought up with you as well in the interview was
you know because the rape love African slaves
for a systematic among slave masters and
so this is kinda harking back to that what you could have done it was done and
all that stuff but
then you making like over horrific systematic rape
other people I mean this the
if if a writer me know when to soon comes up it's always too soon
even if you think it's and she's getting the upper hand cuz then there was the
mami
look love hate olman she look like you know it was
it was the is a mix of of the kitchen a mess all of the kids
it is dats day was ok not rely on his
so Neve in here's a part where to their chairs alluding to an area
and even as Russell was saying this during the interview
its fell a couple because as a comedy thing
but look at the serious point he was being in the middle to hear what you can
tell the harried maybe catch on Harriet Tubman
a sex tape yeah lol I
I'm not sure that was for dearie him but it's for something that's what certainly
thought they had been on TV if not any nudity
a to leave the area if you have a closer well no but you can't see anything
if okay as slavery on every tune their routine Lee raped
the slaves themselves anyway she filmed and she makes them to fit
UK yeah it seems like a in Russell Simmons agrees that it might not have
been the best idea
you seem uncomfortable in that interview I have to be completely honest with you
yes interesting well I mean look he sell me that Harry Thomas having sex in the
video whether
a slave owner and I'm that's an uncomfortable topic that you know but I
thought I me he knows what he's doing right
so I had seen the video at that point I'll but to
but again I'm outlook I I wanna give the benefit as much as possible
Russell Simmons been on the show three times I like ima be on him being on the
show cares about that
he really struggle for the guys on occupy
I remember a Bloomberg was makin nah says excuses about all know it's a lot
of money to clean up
Parker whatever us in a stepped up and said op pay the money to clean up the
park
as long as you keep them there right so he's a great guy in that sense it defies
follow the right battles
and then people in the video by the way other than day storm
sly guy who's who's a who love whose %uh Park trigger on our network so I mean I
love everybody involved a
and a storm's great and I wanted to be funny just turned out
having Jarius Wright they just they took a risk and it didn't turn out well
