The R.Kelly Movie on Lifetime

[Booker T Garvey]

I canceled R. Kelly 17 years ago.

What's all this new hubbub about? That nikka been a demon.

they're basically repackaging the shyt that's already been out there and putting it into video format

journalists from the 90's are on twitter pulling receipts too, they damn sure told everybody this was going on

none of that even if true makes up for fukking kids. A school shooter being bullied every day doesn't excuse murdering innocent people and rkelly being touched by his mother doesn't excuse him raping kids. Period. The only person who should give a fukk about it after the fact is his jail therapist for real. All monsters have sympathetic backstories and none of that excuses present day things they do.

But let me again state for the record fukk the lifetime channel they handled this shyt all the way wrong.

We can think and chew gum at the same time.

It is an imperative to condemn and where feasible, prosecute R. Kelly for his behavior.

It is also an imperative to make sure we're not excusing the abusive/incestuous environments for
children that produce an R. Kelly.

Are we to say that it is okay for an 8-year old black boy to be sexually molested -- that our only problem
with that is when he becomes an adult molester himself later on?

Nah, we need proof, not short-stories and make-believe tales. I will not agree with snitching and using unfounded allegations to put him unjustly in prison.

Here, have a cookie....

Nobody saw Rhianna until she was 17 going on 18. I remember 2005.

That is leagues away from a 15 year old releasing Age Ain't Nothing But A Number

You got a better case for using Britney Spears than Rhianna

She just turned 17 when pon de replay officially came out not turning 18 again we all automatically assume she was turning 18 or 18. I remember 2005 as well.

I am not arguing the age ain’t nothing but a number. I am just talking about how alot of young singer were sexualized at a young age we just happened to be teenagers so it wasn’t anything to us .

I think in addition to this everybody is ignoring the pink elephant in the room concerning the Aaliyah situation. Think of it like this - we know about a lot about Sparkles niece because Sparkle came forward and said something. The most recent incidents involving allegations that he is basically keeping women prisoner in his cribs in Atlanta and Chicago came to light because the girls parents were all over the news complaining.

Somebody tell me what have we have EVER HEARD FROM AALIYAHS PARENTS. They kept shyt on the low, likely because they knew of the importance Kelly played in her career. (probably is no Aaliyah without R Kelly to tbh)

I swear you can show people a documentary of their own life and they would be swayed by what they see.

Vibe

The old Vibe article on this from the 90s says her parents were furious and demanded he stay away from her - also got her on tour abroad to move her away

That's because they want ppl to think of these people as "monsters" and not as the people they love and trust everyday.

They don't want to accept the fact that they are in constant contact with someone just like him or worse...and it's all been passed down.

People forget that back in the day rural families started earlier and thus age of consent being 18 is a fairly new concept. Heck in many states right now it's still 16. Also remember it was common for rural people to only complete the 8th grade in the 1960s and starting families. You couldn't stay at the house past 18. You had to stop being a financial liability, get out the house and start ya own family.

How do you think all of these grandparents are having 50th & 60th weddinng anniversaries? They got married super young.

I wont even get into the "thot culture" saying it's OK for young girls to be sexualized as long as it's them doing it themselves and not directed by a man. Nicki's target fanbase with Barbz was who....young girls....and what did she rap about exactly? These gals not dressing and acting their age isn't helping anybody.

This is a multi-layered issue deeper than one sick man.

U came thru and killed with that comment

I'm not saying what happened to him should happen again on the contrary all pedos need to be shot on sight no trial. I'm saying his backstory don't mean shyt now considering he is a grown man reproducing the circle. How do I think we should stop it? Physical violence. That would fix alot of issues in the world. Touch a kid? Lose all your front teeth bare minimum before trial.

keep exposing yourselves

facts only expose those that deny.

I'm still at how many people continue to support him. I still change the radio station when his music comes on.....

Few years ago I used to be on that "We can separate his personal life from his music" shyt but fukk all that.

Especially when you realize that his personal life IS his music. He literally has songs inspired by his relationships with underage girls. nikka had a whole bed in his recording studio that he's raping these girls on in between tracks.

And for the record before anyone quotes me with some whataboutism shyt, I believe all pedophiles and rapists should be burned alive. I'm not in the business of defending fukked up people just because they're black.

Whole lot of adults failed those girls and were complicit. Sparkle with her crocodile tears was one of the worst. Been around this man since the beginning, know exactly how he gets down but still took your 12 year old niece around him because you were hoping he would make her a star

Jemele is such an idiot. She is the typical social media fool who shoots off at the hip and never does research.
