Surviving R Kelly (documentary)

Big Fat Sam · January 20, 2019

Anybody watched this?

His career has been plagued with allegations of him having sex with underage girls and controlling, abusing and terrorising women, even going so far as keeping them as slaves at his home and requiring them to ask his permission to even use the bathroom.

The documentary provides an insight from those who've been around him throughout his career, as well as many of those who are allegedly his victims.

Lady Gaga has removed a song she collaborated with R Kelly on from online streaming services, saying she supports and believes those who are speaking out about him and regrets even singing with him.

John Legend has spoken out in support of the women, going as far as to call Kelly a "child rapist".

Very very hard to believe his claims that he's an innocent victim of gold-digging women after a big payday from him.

He's always been a predator, don't know why people are suddenly waking up to the fact

Everyone in the industry knew what he was and ignored it.

It's well documented that people in the industry chose to look past it as long as he was writing them hit songs.

Can't say 15 years later that suddenly people are shocked when the allegations were made back then

Absolutely. My next post was to say I can't believe these people (not the alleged victims, but like his bodyguards, tour managers, etc) are only speaking now. Awful.

Exactly the same as Harvey Weinstein and the people around him.

Aye. I don't know what will come of this, but finally a big spotlight is on him like never before.

Justice would be nice. But who knows. He's a very powerful guy.

He is even worse than Weinstein - people knew about Aaliyah and what went on there at the time, and yet nothing was done.

I think there's been a few documentaries on what he got up to, and I'm sure I watched one on BBC1 last year. After all the evidence and the witness' that came forward, I just can't believe that there were people on it who wouldn't have any of it, and were backing him to the hilt.

It just shows how corrupt show business is. They let him get away with it, but now that #metoo is more politically relevant, he will get called out for it.

Shameful

The same man had a sex tape leak about 15 years ago where he was pissing on an underage girl, all these celebs like gaga getting on their high horses can't all of a sudden acted shocked now, hypocrites
