Russell Simmons responds after his “friends” face backlash for visiting him in Bali.
We previously reported that actress Taraji P. Henson took a trip to Bali to visit Simmons. He shared a video via Instagram of the two and captioned it “people when u have friends like this, you are truly blessed!!!!”
The post continued: “Everyone comes to Gdas for healing, some people exude healing energy You @tarajiphenson are one of those You make everyone happy just with your presence love you baby girl.. Glad you are back home safe now but already you are missed until we meet again darling only love ps you mean so much to so many people keep inspiring us all !!!”
Russell Simmons Speaks:
Following the visit, Henson faced online backlash. “Let’s not forget why he outta the country and has no plans on coming back” commented one Instagram user.
In response to the backlash- Simmons declares his innocence against the allegations made against him. “Still today, I have never spoken to a policeman about anything,” he stated. “I have never spoken to a judge, civil or criminal, about anything. From what I can tell Joe Biden, Bill Clinton and President Trump all have more credible claims against them that I do.”
“Again, I’ve never been charged,” he said. He then explains that he “took nine lie detector tests, seven of which from the Chairman of the Polygraph Association.”
“Knock it off,” Simmons continued. “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.”
