R. Kelly is a Monster

[troutman]

Read the "Stomach-Churning" Sexual Assault Accusations Against R. Kelly in Full

This story is so troubling on many levels. It says a great deal about racism, celebrity and music journalism.

Rapes, plural. It is on record. Rapes in the dozen. So stop hedging your words, and when you tell me what a brilliant ode to ##### Black Panties is, then realize that the next sentence should say: "This, from a man who has committed numerous rapes." The guy was a monster! Just say it! We do have a justice system and he was acquitted. OK, fine. And these other women took the civil lawsuit route. He was tried on very narrow grounds. He was tried on a 29-minute, 36-second videotape. He was tried on trading child pornography. He was not tried for rape. He was acquitted of making child pornography. He's never been tried in court for rape, but look at the statistics. The numbers of rapes that happened, the numbers of rapes that were reported, the numbers of rapes that make it to court and then the conviction rate. I mean, it comes down to something minuscule. He's never had his day in court as a rapist. It's 15 years in the past now, but this record exists. You have to make a choice, as a listener, if music matters to you as more than mere entertainment. And you and I have spent our entire lives with that conviction. This is not just entertainment, this is our lifeblood. This matters.

The saddest fact I've learned is: Nobody matters less to our society than young black women. Nobody. They have any complaint about the way they are treated: They are "bitches, hos, and gold-diggers," plain and simple. Kelly never misbehaved with a single white girl who sued him or that we know of. Mark Anthony Neal, the African-American scholar, makes this point : one white girl in Winnetka and the story would have been different.

No, it was young black girls and all of them settled. They settled because they felt they could get no justice whatsoever. They didn't have a chance.

All I can think about when I hear R.Kelly's name is this



But yeah he's a pretty sick ####.

The man was a midget...midget...midget...midget...

The only thing that's for sure is that my client is a exceptionally talented author

and possibly a scientologist

[kipperfan]

Saw him @ Bonnaroo this year, it was a very odd experience, he comes across as a very odd person. Released a whole bunch of junk into the air at the show, like paper doves and whatnot - the whole experience was actually kind of surreal, not someone I ever dreamt of seeing live.

Finally charged

Now he's going to learn what it feels like to get peed on.

[troutman]

Some are saying this is related to video tapes provided by Avenatti.

If the cops are looking for him they should check the closet

[Matata]

The documentary was pretty horrifying, somewhere out there, there are women who have to ask R Kelly for permission whenever they want to eat or use the washroom.

[troutman]

Upon being released from jail on bond, R Kelly promptly went to the same McDonalds that he preyed on underage girls at for years and proceeded to meet and take pictures with underage girls in violation of his bail conditions.. @MichaelAvenatti

[Northendzone]

seems to me that there have been allegations of this nature towards r. kelly for something like 20 or more years.

will be interesting to see how this plays out

R Kelly's staunchest supporters have always been young black women, which just sends this whole thing into another stratosphere of ####ed up.

No shock, he's a sick person who will feed his habit no matter what. Only life behind bars can protect girls from this monster.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Also could be trying to run game to make himself look "mentally ill" as a defense. Because what kind of person, other than one who is extremely mentally ill, would go right back to resuming normal pedo activity?

[Northendzone]

^ someone who thinks he is smarter than the law, or someone who is so consumed by his hobby.

he's been Teflon for many years. probably thinks this will also just get brushed aside.

[Manhattanboy]

I had never heard of him.

What happens when R. Kelly comes up against a woman who he cannot intimidate, dominate and control?:

I can't wait to watch this full interview. Gayle King is awesome!

[Senator Clay Davis]

Gayle King deserves a ton of credit for just staying calm and asking the questions while Kelly is trying to manipulate like mad. Also, does he have a publicist? Cause what publicist would allow this to happen?
