Original Story (March 5): R&B superstar Usher’s recent trip to Bali is being condemned online.
Social media users have been sharing their disappointment that the singer is associating himself with Russell Simmons, seeing as the entrepreneur still has not answered to several allegations of abuse.
As we recently covered, Russell Simmons expressed his appreciation for his “baby bro” Usher yesterday (February 4th), uploading a series of pictures of the two connecting on the Indonesian island. The Def Jams co-founder gushed about their relationship and praised the Super Bowl Halftime performer for being at his side even during low points in his life.
While the union seemed innocent enough, social media users were not at all amused. Many called out Usher for seemingly ignoring the fact that Simmons appears to be in Bali so he doesn’t have to answer to abuse accusations he’s facing in the states. If you recall, the 66-year-old was sued back in February of this year by a former Def Jam exec who says Simmons sexually assaulted her back in the 90’s.
Over the past decade, Simmons has faced several other allegations of sexual assault and abuse. He’s continued to deny any wrongdoing but also seems to be waiting the situation out by remaining in Bali. Despite not facing the charges personally in court, social media users have not forgotten about the allegations. Several slammed Usher for spending time with the music mogul as it seems he’s being “complicit” to his alleged abuse.
It does not appear that Simmons nor Usher have responded to the backlash at the time of this writing.
