Harvey Weinstein and Russell Simmons accusers joined forces at Athena2020 to talk about the need for the entertainment industry to support sexual misconduct survivors.
's executive film editor Tatiana Siegel that since she spoke out "not a single black person in the music industry" has contacted her to ask if they can work together on music. Dixon has produced hit records for Carlos Santana , Aretha Franklin , Whitney Houston , Estelle , Lauryn Hill, Monica, Deborah Cox, Method Man, the Notorious B.IG., Q-Tip, Mary J. Blige, John Legend and Kanye West.
Asked by Siegel about Weinstein and Simmons' far-reaching financial influence and whether the "prioritization will shift from protecting the moneymakers to doing the right thing in this new era," Masse said "I don't think until the people making the money off of the predators realize they can make money off of people like us that it will shift. … It's a business; people care about bottom lines.
Dixon highlighted the "loyalty conundrum" around Simmons, since the Def Jam co-founder has "created a lot of wealth for black people" and helped black men and women become entrepreneurs in TV, fashion and other industries. Indeed all of the women — including Weinstein accuser Jasmine Lobe and Simmons accuser Sheri Sher — indicated that despite this possible lack of industry support, socially there's been an effort to call out bad behavior, which Dixon argued should continue.
"Be the safe space and help them understand that there is a second crime happening every single day that they don't let it go," Dixon said. "Create the space, support people. Understand that it is really life-changing to be free of a secret. Make yourself available to people so that they can let it go.
