NEW YORK—HBO distanced itself from Russell Simmons and scrubbed his name from a standup comedy series he helped produce on the eve of its debut following a second sexual misconduct allegation. HBO has previously proved willing to sever ties with starry names amid allegations of sexual misconduct. I wanted to stay as contained as I could,” wrote Lumet, the daughter of filmmaker Sidney Lumet. He was married to TV personality and designer Kimora Lee Simmons from 1998-2009 and they had two daughters. Simmons is the latest figure in the entertainment world to have his career derailed by accusations of misconduct.
