Yes! Glad to see this happening!!



Sony and R. Kelly have agreed to part ways, sources tell Billboard. The news comes on the heels of the Lifetime documentary Surviving R. Kelly, which detailed allegations of sexual misconduct against the singer.

Reps for Sony and R. Kelly could not be immediately reached. Kelly has also now been removed from the RCA website.

This morning, I saw another interview of a woman who came forward saying she had sex with R Kelly at the age of 16 and was paid $250,000. It is interesting that these women are no longer afraid to come forward after signing NDA's.



Did all the others that came forward before a big spotlight was shined on it have a NDA? I don't know, I'm kind of letting osmosis work here as far what info gets in my head. I keep hearing in various places that these rumors were circulating for years.

Time keeps on slipping into the future...


This moment is all there is...

I am sure the ones that threatened a lawsuit, or filed a lawsuit, or left the fold, all had a NDA's.

I still cant get over the fact he married Aaliyah when she was 15 yrs and her parents are still protecting him. How did I not know this for so many years?

Nah that's not the reason, he is just f'd up. He really should be in jail. Those girls weren't only underage, they were and some are still, sex slaves.

We need to take race out of this and not say he was allowed to get away with this for so many years because the females involved were black. Black women know how to stand up for themselves when matters are involved that they are interested in. If this had of been a white male doing the exact same thing to black girls/women, his career would have been done a long time ago and probably would have been in prison by now. Black women stood by and said nothing for all this time because he is R. Kelly, they think he is sexy and they love his explicit music. It took a docuseries to bring this to the rest of the world. That's why we have not seen the outrage until now.



[Edited 1/8/19 8:16am]

I strongly disagree. It may have taken a docu series to shed a larger light, but this has been discussed and reported on for decades.

And do you seriously believe that if that video tape was of RKelly pissing in the mouth of a 14 year old White girl, he would have been allowed to continue on with his life and music career unaffected? The race of those young girls most indeed played a factor.

Thank you!! Race definently plays a role in this situation. R Kelly would be under a jail right now, if any of the girls were white. Anyone who says different is being dishonest and naive. It sickens me to say this, but, there are people in the black community who accept this because these girls are black and they say it’s the parents’ fault, or these girls were “fast” or they are there because they want to be. Bullshit, can you image those same people saying this about white girls or blaming their family. Btw, white people would be ready to lynch R Kelly, if this happened to their own. Let’s be for real, none of the people supporting him would be doing if the girls/women were white, and that’s the bottomline. cool

Iyanla Vanzant turns down R.Kelly’s request to appear on her show

Iyanla Vanzant turns down...Sunday Sun

A lot has been going on with R.Kelly since the release of “Surviving R. Kelly” docuseries aired on Lifetime.

He is currently under criminal investigation, being denied permits to perform at concerts, and now he has recently been rejected to be a guest on “Iyanla Vanzant: Fix My Life.”

Kelly reportedly reached out to Vanzant asking her to help him and his alleged victims, but was turned down because he didn’t meet the prerequisites of the show.

Vanzant explained to Candice Williams of ABC News what some of these prerequisites were. “Are they willing? Are they ready? Do they have the capacity to do the work? He didn’t have it, the emotional capacity, he just didn’t have it.”

Many of her fans are reaching out to her asking her to help him and his victims, but Vanzant claims that there is nothing for to fix. “What’s the fix? There’s no fix other than them doing their healing where they get to the place where they can recapture their worth, their innocence, their dignity to the point where they can forgive. They ain’t there yet.”

My daughter loves Gary Glitter. My brother played his songs at her birthday party last year for a laugh and she loved it.

Apparently Erykah Badu got booed at her own concert for defending R Kelly. If that continues, or more likely, her audience dwindles, you can be sure that her opinion of R Kelly will change.

I'll give it up to Da Brat for getting a real job to support her lack of real talent and real violent tendencies, maybe Robert can be the new host on that network gossip show with her.

IMO, there's no one, I don't care who you are, that can defend R Kelly for what he did, period! There is no defense for what he did to those women, both young and old!

Her father Micheal Haughton is deceased.

And her mother knows and was complicit in more than she claims to.

It's actually rather disgusting.

Allegedly.

THAT drove me crazy.

"Where are the parents?" Da Brat asked.

Most of the time they are on the outside yelling up at the windows of wherever their daughters are being held captive. neutral

R Kelly’s victims are at an intersection of race, class and gender.
Poor black girls are always going to struggle to gain empathy.

She speaks the sentiment of how I feel. I feel that this guy needs help. The parents are partially to blame as well.

HOWEVER, you can post all you want to and I don't think you are going to sway anyone's opinion. I am DONE buying his music (if he ever releases anything again). I am also done streaming his music. Only because my mind starts to wonder who and what he was thinking about when he wrote a song.

Ottensen

He's heading over to Germany to tour in about 8 weeks...it should be noted that the legal age of sexual consent here is 14. I've been mentioning that very fact to my friends, all educated, accomplished people AND parents (many of teenagers), many of which are music lovers and music MUSIC MAKERS, and this is a story they are not familiar with, and even the consent law is something they didn't know. I've shown them the doc and told them, "hide your daughters, and ANYONE ELSE who happens to look like they might be under 18".

The man is truly disgusting! He has zero remorse and takes no blame whatsoever, his blatant arrogance about everything is just plain evil, just like he is!
