J.C. Penney Co. pulled a Russell Simmons menswear line after the media mogul was accused by two women of sexual misconduct.
The department-store chain introduced the Simmons-created Argyleculture line in September 2016. The collection of sweaters, polos and blazers was part of the chain’s push to attract more young men to its stores. The products were being sold on J.C. Penney’s website and at about 80 of the chain’s 875 stores, according to a company spokeswoman.
