The R&B star was criticized this week after losing his temper backstage at a TV show, which led to him throwing a chair and smashing a window.
Chris has since apologized for his actions and now Russell has spoken about the negative attention the Yeah 3x singer gets - urging for people to "give him a break".
In a blog post on Global Grind Simmons wrote: "Chris is suffering from the same thing that almost every young star has gone through, including the Disney kids.
"Having lost control, some of these young artists, sometimes, do an unspeakable thing at a moment in time. And they pay the price. But... what's not fair is artists paying the price of the sins in their young lives for the rest of their lives. Again, and again, and again.
"Disney kids are allowed a little bit more of a break. Sometimes you have to even feel sorry for them. Not that the media didn't continue to drive Britney Spears freakin' crazy. Not that the media doesn't mess with Miley Cyrus every day. Not that the media doesn't stalk Lindsay Lohan.
"I'm just saying, give this man a break... I know how good of a young man he is. He's having the same type of struggles that all those other Disney kids have and all the other people who have instant fame... and because of that one regretful incident, no one will give him a break."
