Disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly has been catching some serious unabated heat and bashing from a section of industry stakeholders as well as some people in recent times for his alleged sexual abuse history.

The first part of Lifetime’s three-night documentary series, “Surviving R. Kelly”, was aired on Thursday detailing accusations of sexual abuse and pedophilia by the singer. Survivors, as well as witnesses, shared chilling accounts of their experiences sparking outrage on social media.

One of the most talked about parts of the documentary was his marriage to deceased R&B songstress Aaliyah when she just 15 years old. R. Kelly, who was 27 years at the time allegedly forged documents claiming Aaliyah was 18.

Take a look at how social media reacted to the first part of the docu-series below and share with us your thoughts if you watched it:
