"HBO will be airing All Def Comedy as planned," the premium cable network said in a statement. "However, Russell Simmons will not appear in the new series and we will be removing his name from the show moving forward.” Earlier today, the hip-hop mogul announced he was stepping down from his various businesses after Rachel Getting Married screenwriter Jenny Lumet alleged he raped her when she was 24 years old.
