According to an account by the BBC website Ms. Lumet, an accomplished screenwriter now, was forced to have sex with Simmons back "around 1991."

The article further states she asked Russell's driver to take her home but Simmons told him "no" on a number of occasions and took her to his residence where a fearful Ms. Lumet was coerced to have sex with him. Mr. Simmons responded to the press "her memory of that evening is very different from mine."
