    I have met with some of R. Kelly’s victims. The man is lying. I lost count of the lies he told in this interview with Gayle King. It’s in the dozens of lies. He is a disturbing sociopath.

        Dude had Jungle Gym Fever since day one! He literally produced a song called "Age Is Just a Number" with a 15-year old girl named Aaliyah, whom he illegally married. Everyone knows about this. Why would anyone believe him about anything?

        The better question is, women who knew all of this STILL OFFERED THEMSELVES to him. Why do we ignore that? The media plays both sides simply for profit and the public falls for it all the time. Everyone was cool with the Aaliyah movie exploiting her relationship with him...

        My thing is he hung at a McDonalds where high school kids went to, we have to remember these are kids who aren’t old enough to make sexual decisions, and he knows that. Ever have a convo with a 15 year old? If a grown man has a sexual relationship with a 15 year he is a monster

        Yes, he hung out where teenagers are. He met and flirted with two of my classmates in a mall in 2001, and they were 17 and flattered. Thankfully nothing happened, but I believe the victims.

        For u to believe someone based on someone else being flirted with isn't logical. That's like believing I robbed a bank cuz u seen a few other guys rob a bank before that wasn't me. We cannot decide guilt in that manner.

        He absolutely deserves due process, anyone who is accused does, but I have my opinion. He’s got a history of this.

        I'm confused as to why Gayle King or anyone else is entertaining his side of the story.

        No. It’s called broadcast journalism. The accused have been interviewed since like, the beginning of broadcast journalism in 1947. It’s not about your morals. It’s news, it’s her job, period.

        DR.Kelly isn't news anymore. He isn't news until he 1) Goes to Prison or 2) is Aquitted. Until then they are just enjoying the circus and making that $$$

        Why? Why is he one of the biggest stories in Circulation? The US just ended their Missile Agreement with Russia effectively beginning the Cold War all over again. Why is this more important than that? #manufacturingconsent

        He’s a public figure. Millions of people have his albums. He has contributed to our culture as a whole, and he’s symbolic of rape culture in America, how black women are treated, and how narratives are shifting. This is about way more than R Kelly, and you want to simplify it.

        Yeah but what does talking to HIM do about any of that? We know what he did. We know he's going to trial. This was LITERALLY Pointless and just something that will keep their clicks up while they avoid talking about #RealNews

        I was scared when he lost it during his interview w/ Gayle. If he got like that w/ Gayle and in front of cameras, can you imagine in front of a defenseless young girl? I do not believe anything from him.
