Embattled hip-hop exec Russell Simmons goes on the defensive after actor Taraji P. Henson was criticized earlier this month for visiting him at his Bali resort.

Russell Simmons has gone on the defensive after critics called out actor Taraji P. Henson for spending time with the embattled hip-hop impresario and entrepreneur at his Bali resort. Simmons, 66, told them to 'knock it off' in the wake of backlash that was sparked when Simmons posted a photo of himself with 'The Color Purple' star in Indonesia. Many voiced their grievances with Henson for hobnobbing with someone who has been accused of sexual assault.

'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 !!!' While some of Simmons' followers praised their photo, others launched personal attacks on him and Henson.
