“Running Russell Simmons” Features Simmons’ Vegan Confidante Simone Reyes (Video)
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 5th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Business, Film & TV, Food & Drink, Reality TV, Videos.
Russell Simmons has gone from founding a hip hop music label to creating an urban clothing line to now a reality TV show featuring the ins and outs of his daily life.
Running Russell Simmons premiers November 2nd on the Oxygen channel and chronicles Russell’s life and his staff, including one of his closest assistants Simone Reyes.
Reyes, like Russell, is a vegan and animal rights activist who’s used her publicity to draw attention to various causes, whether that’d be Tweeting about the delicious meal of tempeh hash, vegan frittata, soy buttermilk biscuits and tofu scramble from Sacred Chow restaurant to getting the message out about lost animals and yes, commenting on Lady Gaga‘s meat outfit. Read what Reyes had to say about it and see a sneak premier of Running Russell Simmons below.
From Global Grind (On Lady Gaga):
“IF you are talking about rights you must address the rights of ALL LIVING BEINGS- all who suffer. Meat= Suffering. Period. So if you are going to make a statement about not wanting to be treated like “piece of meat” then don’t disregard the plight of the animals that you have draped around your body.”
“Those were animals who had a family, a yearning for a life of peace, a natural instinct to raise her young, a desire to feel sunshine on her face and a plea to not be tortured and a trembling body terrified of being killed – all so that you can have a heart attack on a plate for dinner.”

Awww, how unfortunate. Did you bother to read the article about one of his assistants and her animal activism or did you just watch the video? Oh, and it’s “competent.”
