The writer took exception to critics

[Bassim]

I am wondering if my sentence is grammatically correct.

The writer took exception to critics who suggested he was a plagiarist, without providing a concrete proof.

The comma makes this version read as if the writer was the one who failed to provide proof. I mentally inserted another comma after "writer" because the comma made it seem like you had omitted one there.
