Kirk worked on R.'s third lp on the song "Trade In My Life" (1995)

Kirk came public with his addiction a while ago and has been in magazines and on TV a few times talking about it. I really just think that going on O was a way to not only to help let some skeletons out of the churches closet,but also for publicity. Just calling it like I see it. I'm a huge fan of his and I'm about to pick up his new CD this weekend.

Sorry, lost all respect for Kirk! So what he watches porn, who the hell hasn't? His whole confessional begs the question...what the hell did you do while getting your porn on, that made it necessary for you to go on national tv and confess?

Don't get me wrong, I do know that confession is good for the soul, but I have to question WHY this confessional needed to be broadcast worldwide!!

kirks thing was that he got ADDICTED and was ho'in around with this person and that person. he felt he was being a hypocrite, he preached the church teachings and morality and all that, but he wasnt neciserily following it. also he knows as a man of God that he's not alone in this and wants to help people

Oh, so that's the reason he came forward with this on Oprah's show...

I didn't see the show, and I've never been a fan of Kirk -- and I don't think this'll make me one. I just don't find him that interesting.

But I have much respect for him for going public with this. Effective ministry entails a certain human empathy and vulnerability, and no one who is perfect -- as some believers try to paint themselves -- could possibly have it. Bless him.

Honestly, y'all. Kirk is successful enough without having to dredge that up to sell some more CDs. Movie soundtracks, guest songs on other artists' albums, guest hosting shows, ministering at megachurches.

Kirk needs an Oprah confessional to be successful like Oprah needs to buy a Pontiac G6 on credit.

Adisa said:

And actually at this time (1995) Kirk & R. kelly we're the best of buddies.

My ch for Oprah was out so I never got to watch it. So what does he feel bad about liking PORN? It's not like he's a MOLESTOR and stuff. I cannot see anyone watching PORN for 8 hrs though....

I love that song "Looking For You" I JAMMED to that today!!

ThreadBare said:

So, why did he go on her show with his new CD coming out around the time of the appearance? Sounds like a product tie-in to me...

ThreadBare said:

ROFLMAO!! You yourself said he'a about "pushing the envelope". I already said dude came public with this a long time ago. So, why is he still talking about it, and on "Oprah" on top of that? You go on Oprah to tell your story to billions of people, and maybe because she'll give you a car.

JesseDezz said:

But being a gospel singer, this could actually HURT his CD sales. It isn't like he's a member of Motley Crue, he's a preacher/singer. Saying he's addicted to porn could wind up being a career ender.

All I kept thinking was, "look how small he is on that couch next to Oprah He looks like he's 12 "

JediMaster said:

I doubt it will hurt his sales. All he has to do is sing about it and people will love that shit. Nothing better to convince people of the power of God than a sinner who overcame something like an addiction.

RepoMan said:

Ah, but so many Christians demonize anything to do with sex, to the point that they almost find those things unforgivable. It SHOULDN'T be this way, but it often is. A man can destroy his life, and that of his family, with drugs and alcohol, and when he finally gets rehabilitated it's all good. If he does the same thing with sex, then they place a scarlet letter on him and run him out of town.

I still admire him for doing this. It could destroy his reputation, but he is choosing to put it out there for other's to learn from. I've never really been a fan of his, but I think he's got guts.

Zelaira said:

it wasnt that he felt bad about LIKING it, its that he got ADDICTED and he was fucking everything on legs as a result and then when he got married it almost fucked up his marriage

Moonwalkbjrain said:

I really believe that's BS. I have a porn addiction but I'm not out fucking everything with three legs. Dude's a sex addict.

JesseDezz said:

Co-sign on this. When I heard this was his "big secret". All I could think was well whoop-te-doo. Now if he said someone had him on video tape f*cking a goat that would be different.

Stymie said:

Exactly. That's what I said earlier.

Ifsixwuz9 said:

lawd...what a world we live in when having a "porn addiction" is nothing and you have to sleep with goats to get attention.....


lawdy lawdy.....

Adisa said:

Because it will provide a platform for him to deal with it on a larger level. It's a widespread problem within the Church and it's obvious he feels called to address it as a ministry.

My perspective is a little different than the folks who say he's in it for the record sales, because I saw Kirk minister at my church's youth summit a few months ago. He has a heart for helping people -- especially young people -- be free of the things that would hinder them from walking in their God-given destinies.

Does he want to continue to be successful in the entertainment arena? Absolutely. Could there be some residual effect from his Oprah appearance. Of course. Millions of authors want an Oprah endorsement. A good friend of mine wants to appear on Oprah, so she can launch him in his respective field.

But, again, I don't think the material benefit is Kirk's chief concern.

And, I just heard about Kirk's porn addiction a few months ago -- old news or not.

Ya'll remember when he fell off the stage? I think he was in a coma too. That was crazy as hell.

ThreadBare said:

I feel you. As you may now know, Kirk comes to Cashville about twice a year for youth "stuff" which includes free concerts. Several kids at my church helped form the youth choir that backed him. I saw him on the "Nu Nation" tour. Not only was it one of the most funkiest concerts I attended (on the same level with JB and Prince), it was also one of the most powerful worship experiences of my life....for real.

ThreadCula said:

I don't think he should have kept quiet--exposing hypocrisy is always good--, but you have a point about the women. . . .

Adisa said:

I believe ya, bruh.

Moonwalkbjrain said:

I missed the show. . .he was CHEATING, too????

NuPwr319 said:
