Documentary revealing R. Kelly’s sexual abuse history heightens rage against him

To everyone telling me how courageous I am for appearing in the doc, it didn't feel risky at all. I believe these women and don't give a fuck about protecting a serial child rapist. Easy decision.

All these enablers knew what was going on, they just didn’t want to see. They didn’t want to be cut off from R. Kelly’s money, fame, access, whatever. #SurvivingRKelly

This R. Kelly thing is tough to watch, but it paints a very clear picture that R. Kelly, like all serial abusers, has a whole network of protectors. Both those who directly enable him and those who bear witness but choose to ignore what’s happening right in front of their faces.

So, Bruce Kelly thinks being attracted to minors is a "preference" and not statutory rape. Hence, why he is being interviewed from prison.#SurvivingRKelly pic.twitter.com/m5mB2pPulX

It should go without saying that Black girls should matter more than good music & a musical gift; that a minor should not be maligned as a manipulator of a man. Let’s teach boys that girls’ bodies are not theirs to molest & misuse. Not theirs to do anything with. #SurvivingRKelly

Aaliyah, baby, I’m SO sorry. I’m so sorry that every single adult in your life failed you. Every. Single. One. This is breaking my heart. #SurvivingRKelly

What bothered me the most about this part of the documentary, is the fact that ALL these men they interviewing said something like "I knew something wasn't right about that" or "I felt uncomfortable when…" ? BUT NONE OF Y'ALL SAID ANYTHING #SurvivingRKelly

We should all thank my friend @dreamhampton for her very necessary work to create #SurvivingRKelly. These survivors deserved to be lifted up and heard. I hope it gets them closer to some kind of justice.

So proud of the women telling their truth tonight. It's finally time for the music industry to be held ACCOUNTABLE.#SurvivingRKelly https://t.co/IDZkLJot8V

Dear @METROFMSA @kayafm95dot9 -you really cannot ignore the child predator that is R Kelly in this way. #SurvivingRKelly has demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that the man is monstrous & has sexually violated countless black girls.
Please, in 2019, do better. #MuteRKelly

While I was watching #SurvivingRKelly I had a thought in my head. Everyone was riding Michael Jackson on child molestation little boys but not R. Kelly on little girls? pic.twitter.com/eArnjCwYrM

Had a hotep in a bow tie on IG try the old “You coming for R. Kelly but do you have that sane energy for the white man” razzle dazzle ?

Look here: The reason I go after dudes like Kelly is because guys like him have preyed on Black women & girls for decades. #SurvivingRKelly

The whole Aaliyah situation should’ve let everybody know the type of sicko R Kelly was. Him producing this album for her. Him posted on the cover. Then marrying her at like 15-16. He’s honestly been a creep. And it’s sad how swept under the rug it’s been for him #SurvivingRKelly pic.twitter.com/nUkXlKyx1Q

Aaliyah was 12 when she met R. Kelly & passed away at 22. So in a 10 year span:

She signed a shady record deal with her uncle Barry (Blackground Records) was molested, pregnant & married R. Kelly at 15 & then passes at 22.

Her family feels that guilt. Tragic. #SurvivingRKelly

I’m not understand how Aaliyah (RIP) mother is more outraged and vocal about Jovante Cunningham than she is about Demetrius Smith admitting to forging documents for RKelly to prey on her child !!!! Somebody help me understand please #SurvivingRKelly

If you are NOT 18 you are underage . If you are a grown man going to a high school to find HIGH SCHOOL girls you ARE pedophile and a sadistic sorry excuse for a human being . Let’s argue . #SurvivingRKelly
