Drew Dixon’s legal war with Russell Simmons has become an international conflict, after the mogul was tracked down to his Bali resort and served with a lawsuit. Dixon, once a prominent executive in the Hip-Hop industry, filed a lawsuit against Simmons, accusing the him of defamation.
The lawsuit was triggered by Simmons’ remarks in a December 2023 interview in which he called Dixon a “liar” and suggested the harassment and sexual assault claims against him could be motivated by individuals seeking fame. Dixon’s lawsuit aims to hold Simmons responsible for these comments, which she claims have severely damaged her reputation and professional life.
On March 5, Simmons was served at the posh Gdas Bali Health And Wellness Resort, which he owns. A process server named Daniel John Ayoub arrived at the resort around 12:30 p.m. local time. Ayoub managed to get through two security checkpoints. Once he entered, he told staff members he was interested in the resort. He sat in the restaurant area and ordered some refreshments in hopes of spotting Simmons.
After waiting for an hour and not seeing him, Ayoub asked for a tour of the resort. But just a few minutes later, Simmons came up into the restaurant area and stood right in front of where Ayoub was seated.
“I recognized him as the person named in the service papers as Russell Simmons is a well-known celebrity and widely known in Bali, Indonesia as well as in the United States and other places,” Ayoub explained.
Simmons then sat down with a group of people and began conversing. Ayoub said he waited a few moments and then made his move.
“I said ‘Excuse me, Mr. Simmons, sorry to interrupt your meeting.’ I then handed Simmons the service documents in an envelope and said, ‘This is for you,’” Ayoub said.
Simmons, who was caught off guard grabbed the envelope from Ayoub and said, ‘What’s this from?’ I replied, ‘You’ve been served from the State of New York.’ Simmons then quickly dropped the envelope on the table and said, ‘Ah f###, s###’” Ayoub revealed
