Surviving R. Kelly

It's amazing to watch and try to understand the network that must have been created around this man to allow him to continue in what he has been doing and still does. The denials of the American public and manipulation. Absolutely shocking documentary

Wow! If this is true, I'm appalled at how disgusting this man is. I like R.Kelly's music but this was jaw dropping. The truth is in the eye of the beholder but it's hard to ignore the volume of accusations. The show may exaggerate the claims but the volume of claims is hard to ignore.

Charlamagne Tha God stated he believes the public refuses to acknowledge these crimes because the victims are young black women. I think R.Kelly's situation is very close in comparison to the (alleged) sex crimes against young white males committed by Michael Jackson.

Not to say racism didn't play a part but the real problem is the status we hold celebrities up to instead of judging them by their character. The worst thing you can do to our community is enable those with drug and/ mental problems. But to give them social power? We are the ones creating these monsters.

I saw the pee tape and if anyone thought that girl was over 14 would be lying, she had the body of an 11 or 12 yr. Old I literally got frightened by watching it, It was truly a disturbing horror film. It's sad after all this evidence people are still calling these young ladies liars who all have the same story and this man continues to do him. I was the biggest Kelz fan before the tape and afterwards I admit I wanted to forget what I saw and forgive and pray he got his life back on track. But now after knowing and realizing he is a serial pedophile predator we have to ban anything and everything he tries to do. He won't stop because he can't and he trys to ask for support from the black community meanwhile he's abusing our young queens. Starvation, Desolation, Slapping, Verbal degrading. He's a monster and anyone pushing back against that reality is complicit in aiding a deceitful predator. It's never ok but it's one thing to treat grown woman a certain way because they will process your sickness faster and figure a way to get away from the madness, but under age girls haven't got a chance most will fold under those pressures. This docu-series was sincere and very well crafted the only person who should feel shame to tell this story is the one who is denying it. Robert Kelly who shows no remorse admits it on a 19 minute song but then says he's not a pedophile on the same song. He married a 15yo. When he was 27. Case closed.

To everyone who didn't feel any pain from this documentary, shame on you. Empowering the predator. I am embarrassed to say I was a fan. He is most definitely a monster and karma is coming for u R. Kelly.

I hardly know how to review this documentary but that these idiots who gave 1 star are so naive (or just don't care) about domestic abuse, brainwashing, grooming children, and victimization infuriated me. This is a documentary trying to desperately reach out to inform people and get support to stop an extremely sick, abusive, sexual predator who has gotten away with his perverted and vile behavior for over 25 years because he's famous and chart-topping songs. Yes, this piece can get a bit repetitive in the 6 1-hour segments of interviews and maybe it could have been cut in half, but I found this show very informative and necessary as a voice for the survivors/victims. Similar to Harvey Weinstein, Kelly seems to continually get away with crimes even though people around him knew/know what's going on. What's worse is Kelly's victims were more often underage girls (12-17-years old). Hearing from survivors, people in the industry, friends and family of Kelly, psychiatrists, and the families of girls still caught in R Kelly's web is informative and heart-wrenching. It is so sad that people turn their back or are even complicit in helping these narcissistic, bullies just because the perpetrator is famous and people don't want to loose their friendship, risk their job or just don't want to get involved so it goes on and on and on creating more and more victims and more and more pain and brokenness. It's also shocking at how many people so easily don't want to believe that a smooth voiced, smooth talking, charismatic, handsome musician would "do such a thing" when the damning evidence and witnesses are plentiful (I mean sex tape people!!) Finally, after all these years, people in the music industry are starting to stand up for these victims and let Kelly know they won't condone this disgusting behavior and treatment of girls/women and it's because of courageous people like the ones who made and spoke out in this documentary and the #MuteRKelly movement. Why do we let people harm others? Harvey Wienstein, Bill Cosby, OJ Simpson, R Kelly...maybe this film will help us open our eyes and recognize these predators, encourage us to stand up for victims (instead of judging, ignoring, or accusing them) and also maybe we can get these predator the help they need... hurt people, hurt people.
