Russell Simmons is demanding a stop to the attacks on his friends after Taraji P. Henson became the latest of his celebrity friends to be criticized for visiting him in Bali.
The actress faced backlash over the trip due to multiple women accusing him of rape and sexual misconduct. However, Simmons, who denies the allegations, insisted he’s taken steps to clear his name and has never been investigated about the claims. Elsewhere in the video, Russell Simmons rattled off a list of his contributions to uplifting the Black community. Simmons said:
“Knock it off, I love you, I just don’t want my friends attacked and I wish you all the best. But just leave my friends alone. Don’t attack my friends for visiting me.”
