In the wake of Russell Simmons‘ sexual misconduct allegations, Oprah has removed the music mogul from her new latest book, The Wisdom Of Sundays.

The spiritual advice book features conversations between Oprah and her most famous Super Soul Sunday guests. Other motivational speakers, religious figures and celebrities also contributed. The 60-year-old’s excerpts, which talked about the impact meditation has had on his life, along with other key moments on health and wealth, will be scrapped.

The claims have since garnered the attention of the NYPD, who announced they were launching a full investigation into the music mogul. He has since created the hashtag #NotMe to defend himself against the allegations he claims are false.

Simmons’ ex-wife Kimora Lee Simmons spoke out last week, denouncing the claims from the various women.
