Ladies, don’t bring your girl to me please cuz I’m a flirt– R Kelly
The docuseries Surviving R Kelly has found himself shrouded in a child rape mess. The singer who is one of the most successful R and B singers of all times despite threatening to sue Lifetime if they aired the show has become the subject of the #MeToo campaign.
The young women were naive and stupid. They don’t deserve any blame. They were literally kids. It’s the grown people around the situation who belong on the ass whoopin list with R. Kelly.

The big story here isn’t simply R. Kelly’s attraction to underage girls. It’s the collusion of the adults who facilitated his access to these young women for fame and fortune. If we’re going to tell a story let’s tell it ALL. There’s enough shame to go around.

John Legend who appeared in the final episode of the six-part docuseries made it clear via his Twitter account that he was not interested in protecting a “serial child rapist.”
The show’s producer Dream Hampton also mentioned that she reached out to the likes of Jay Z, Celine Dion, Lady Gaga and Erykah Badu but only Legend showed up.
“It’s because it’s so messy and muddy. It’s that turning away that has allowed this to go on,” she told Shadow and Act.
