      "You Are Not Alone," performed by Michael Jackson, was written by R Kelly about Lizzette, the underage girl he was abusing at the time, soon after she had a miscarriage of his child. #SurvivingRKelly

      Lizzette caught mono from R Kelly that went untreated. She was in ICU for 2 1/2 weeks, was paralyzed and nearly died. R Kelly gave Lizzette's mother $1000. That's it. Kelly was having unprotected sex with all of these victims. Dozens of girls. #SurvivingRKelly

      Sparkle knew about R Kelly abusing young girls AND his wife, but still introduced her 12 year old niece to him. Because she believed he could make his niece a star. It is Sparkle's niece that is on the infamous tape. She was 14. #SurvivingRKelly

      R Kelly had multiple bedrooms *in* the music studio. He was sexually abuse young girls in between song takes. But y'all want to "separate the art from the artist." #SurvivingRKelly

      R Kelly was having sex with underage girls downstairs while his wife Andrea was upstairs. Andreas states that she had no idea he was sleeping with anyone, much less underage girls. #SurvivingRKelly

      The infamous pee tape was discovered by Lisa, one of his victims, in R Kelly's bag. She took the tape from his bag and eventually gave it to another artist. R Kelly would show the videos to other men. #SurvivingRKelly

          There was a series of lawsuits brought by young women who claimed that they had sex with R Kelly while they were underage. So when you ask "Why didn't they come forward?" they did. They actually sued him. Most were settled out of court. #SurvivingRKelly

          R Kelly used non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to keep the young girls and women quiet after he settled out of court with them. There were five and six figure settlements. #SurvivingRKelly

          Lisa told R Kelly that she took the infamous pee tape. R Kelly made Lisa and the guy who had the tape take a lie detector test. The guy lied and said he hadn't made any copies of the tape. Lisa heard the sum $250K to get the tape(s) back. #SurvivingRKelly

          A copy of the infamous pee tape was dropped off anonymously to the Chicago Sun Times. Journalists called Sparkle, who was able to identify both her niece and R Kelly on the tape. Kelly denied it was him, as did the girl's family. #SurvivingRKelly

          I want y'all to hear what the coach said as well. Sparkle's niece came from a two-parent household; her parents seemed responsible, supportive & active in her life. R Kelly was a predator, showing up at her basketball games in his early 30s. She was a sophomore. #SurvivingRKelly

          Sparkle said at the beginning of the tape, you can see R Kelly giving her 14 year old niece money. And then he sexually abused her. According to @toure, you can hear someone yelling R Kelly's name on the tape. #SurvivingRKelly

          R Kelly performed at the 2002 Winter Olympics. While the infamous pee tape and all of the related allegations were circulating in the press and in the streets. Unbelievable. Sparkle's niece was on the basketball team coached by a retired police officer. #SurvivingRKelly

          Child pornography charges were filed, not statutory rape charges. They decided to do this because it would be easier to prove since dates couldn't be ascertained. R Kelly had a sing along with Chicago schoolkids the very same day he pled not guilty & left court. #SurvivingRKelly

          21 counts of child pornography and absolutely nothing changed in R Kelly's life while he was awaiting trial. He continued to tour, make money, and abuse young girls. He was arrested a second time in Miami on additional child porn charges. Photos were found. #SurvivingRKelly

          The Miami case was eventually dropped because the Florida judge determined the cops didn't have probable cause to search his home, making the photos impermissible. R Kelly dropped Ignition, the Remix, during this time. #SurvivingRKelly

          R Kelly intentionally delayed his trial because they preferred to have a 20 year old (an adult) on the stand telling her story, and not a 14 year old girl. The trial was delayed six years. Once it began, R Kelly said it was his brother Carey on the tape. #SurvivingRKelly
