Simmons was charged with harassment by a journalist in December 2017 because of an interview a month earlier where, according to the woman’s reports, the singer fingered her and flirted inappropriately and unwanted.
“She sued him because she wanted to give a clear message that this behavior is unacceptable and that she no longer wants to see this kind of behavior,” the defense said in court.
According to the hostess, he tried to take her hands and put them on his knee and held her by the neck and made sexual comments while she interviewed him.
In the process, he was responding to harassment, gender violence, mistreatment and assault. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed to the press and Simmons denies the allegations.
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
