    Surviving R. Kelly! Who’s watching?

    Anyone else watching this documentary on Lifetime! It’s been quite a show so far. I’d been giving Kels a pass for years, but the sex cult allegations was the straw that broke the camel’s back! Except for the stuff he did for other artists and “I Believe I Can Fly”, I cannot listen to him without cringing anymore!

    Robert Sylvester Kelly is a pedophile, child molester, abuser and rapist... straight up.

    Also go back to the lyrics of his music, he was never coy about raping teen girls. He gave VERY subtle hints...

    That’s why it’s hard to listen to it now! If you’re familiar with the character the Pied Piper, it makes sense why he would call himself that.

    When I read about it shortly after he gave himself that nickname, I was like "this motherf..."

    He's complacent in his criminal behavior. And because of the girls he targeted, he knows he'll get away with it. UGH...

    Some artists you COULD separate the man from the music but this one, you simply can't. It's totally impossible.

    I saw some of this last night - the part about his marriage to Aaliyah when she was underage and I gather, some forgery that allowed it.

    A comment was made about rock n roll and how there is a history of this and they mentioned Jerry Lee Lewis and then Elvis Presley's marriage to Priscilla.

    But they made no mention of Aretha Franklin having two children by the age of 15 and what it did to her.

    I've been off of his bandwagon for over a decade. These allegations have been around him forever and the jury that let him skate used spurious logic to make its decision, from what I understand. The technology necessary to paste a man's moving face on a video back then was too expensive and hard to obtain for someone to use it to frame him.

    Sadly, his music downloads have spiked similarly to the way New Edition and Bobby Brown's did after their biopics on BET. His fan saw these shows and actually decided they wanted to support this animal. SMH. And on Facebook, I have a cousin who posted a meme asking why we're "attacking" R. Kelly but "looking the other way" on Trump's indiscretions. Who's looking the other way? And why can't we hold both accountable?

    Aretha's first two kids' daddies were teenagers themselves allegedly. Think Edward's father was [[not sure about Clarence's). But yeah being a teen mother definitely did a number on her. Also her being allegedly turned out by Sam Cooke [[not sure if I believe that fully but it's believable).

    Folks are just racist. I blame black and white celebrities who have credible evidence against them for being pedophiles and rapists. People making this a racial issue need to cut it out. We need to confront the rampant pedophilia that was always normalized in our community just like pedophilia was normalized for years in other communities. Both Robert and Trump are guilty as sin.

    Sir:

    1. I think Aretha's second child was born when the lady was 14.
    2. 'Ree got some serious evil eye; watch yer'self bay-boy!
    3. Canadians. I just can't.

    Dude emptied his bladder into the mouth of a minor AND thought it was a nifty idea to film it. If 'ya ask me, 'I Got Pee On My Fly' isn't all that ...

    I regret this is an easy question to answer. Evangelicals are largely a racist, homophobic and nationalistic batch of white supremacists, as is djt. Ergo. And the evangelical leaders are quite frequently on-the-DL philanderers. As is djt. So he is their best bet.

    Arguing with a cousin about this on Facebook. He says that this is all just a plot to bring down a powerful black man. He ignores my question when I ask him why he sides with the black male celebrity over the dozen-plus young black victims. When I ask if they're black like he is, he accuses me of being a sheep who's believing what white people want me to believe. He felt the same about Bill Cosby.

    What amazes me with these people is that they completely see women and girls as being less valuable then men, black or not.

    They truly don't. They think our girls are "fast" and "got what's coming to them". That sh*t is so messed up. No wonder they don't speak up!

    R. Kelly's daughter recently came out with a post on Instagram [[I think) basically confirming to anyone with sense that R. Kelly was a monster and never was a father to her and she saw her mother being abused. That adds another element to how evil he is.

    I have inner peace which comes through my faith but lets just say im doing a lot more praying these days with the unstable orange one who is unfit to lead. Yours, with every good wish. Roberta

    And they dont get the #MeToo movement. Wall Streets answer is to hire less women. Its all messed up but one by one predator and sexual abusers are getting caught.

    I cannot believe the number of people defending him or deflecting onto someone else! Making excuses because the public first found out about R. Kelly 25 years ago and he's been able to avoid prison, etc.

    In this #hashtag era there is something called the “cancel” culture . Ali, and Marvin Gaye are on the list for either dating/marrying/ or sexing minors- allegedly. Many of our favorites are on the list, for either sexual assault or physical abuse.

    The most outrageous example of this was when someone posted a photo of Donald Trump with the caption "Why are you all attacking R. Kelly but THIS GUY gets a pass?" That one was really not worth shaking my head over because it was so stupid.

    I am so tired of all the deflection that goes on these days in our society. Excuse anything and anyone by pointing the finger at someone else's wrong doing! It's sick.

    I’m finally getting a chance to actually see this miniseries; I’m nearing the end of the 5th episode and am utterly drained. What a flipping monster he is. dream hampton really aced this project; it’s stellar work by a novice to film/TV production. I’m gonna take a long, hot shower at the end of this...with holy water.

    Presuming you have completed your Silkwood shower, holy water rinse, Janet Jackson enema and Gwenyth Paltry toxcicity cleanse, may I presume you thought the reporting was honest? I don't have access to Lifetime so YOU become my voice of truth!

    Very credible, with first-hand accounts and even primary footage of parents being reunited with their daughters...and heartbreaking footage of some parents trying and failing. Completely unsettling.

    They need to cut that ish out. Neither Ali nor Marvin was as depraved as Robert. They basically wanna be like "if y'all can cancel Robert, can you cancel..." hell to the naw...

    And the dirt they claimed to find on Marvin was not even confirmed so they can keep it. Only thing they can bring up is Janis and that's not even a scandal at this point. Like what?

    Dump his ass. His music is full of subliminals and downright sledgehammers and should be kicked off the airwaves.

    He's funny. He says anybody who believes the stories about R. Kelly is "sheep" and just turning their backs on a black man because we've been conditioned to hate our people. My brother and I have been tag teaming on him with some of the most hellacious trolling and he's ignored me for a couple of days. Nothing like a "woke" bruh who is walking around sound asleep.

    People acting like R. Kelly is a genius musician like Marvin Gaye or Donny Hathaway and they use that as the excuse they can't shun his music. Like his music is pretty darn basic IMHO.

    He's not even the greatest artist to come out of Chicago, that title belongs to Sam Cooke. Whatever "genius" he had, he sullied years ago trying to be some rapper. Eff him and his "music".
