    Big rush of victims coming out about some even worse stuff he did, on a documentary called Surviving R. Kelly. Which is fair enough in one sense, but its just bizarre how people are acting shocked about it, like you said its been known for close to two whole decades that he is a horrible scumbag (a quarter century if you include marrying a 15 year old in 1994, but the 2002-04 stuff was worse and got a lot more airplay).

    There is likely no floor with this guy, they will find something even worse again in 10-15 years... and by the looks of it, people will be shocked!!!! again then, as if this never happened.

    How could he marry a 15 year old? Must watch that documentary

    It's legal in many US states, if I'm right some have no age limit at all. 200,000 minors were married (mostly to adults) between 2000-2015. It's amazing to me how it has not just been outright banned to be honest.

    Seem a lot of these R Kelly stories are fiction. I think he treated a lot of his GFs very badly, but they were in relationships with him. He's a player for sure, going from one lady to the next and using and abusing that relationship.
    There is a documentary coming out at Sundance Film Festival that is going to absolutely slaughter Michael Jackson, so I expect after that sees the light of day everyone will be saying same about MJ, a man who had the FBI, LAPD & CIA throw everything they could at him and he still walked free. Usually in sexual abuse cases proof is so easily obtained, it's why those who are guilty and actually see trial never walk free, evidence speaks volumes. People like Rolf Harrs and Gary Glitter get convicted easily, as the evidence is clearly there.

    I always wonder about MJ. What happened back then. You couldn’t be normal after the childhood he had.

    Never have.

    Although I hope some day someone will test Mr. Kelly's theory that he can fly.

    Preferably from a very tall building.

    he's reportedly been dropped by Sony records, but no official statement

    just heard the song he had with Lady Gaga on the radio yesterday, not bad...

    Sure why not listen to his music, innocent until proven guilty.

    There has been all this uproar, outrage and backlash over the last few few weeks with the latest revelations about him... but that's the thing: the LATEST revelations.

    If people were willing to forget that R. Kelly was literally pissing on 14 year old Prostitutes SEVENTEEN F*CKING YEARS AGO, and married a 15 year old Aaliyah (who he met when she was 12...) 24 years ago, they will forget about this too in time. Fifteen years ago he got done on having a fair stash of child PORN (and only got off because of a technicality, bogey search warrant).

    Seriously, wtf is up with how 'shocked and appalled' people are claiming to be about this? We knew what he was, and anyone pretending that - this- is what stops them listening to this dirt bag is lying, if not to others then to themselves.
    What's this "we" carry-on about? Speak for yourself. Not everyone knew what he allegedly did years ago. And why the assumption that the "shocked and appalled" isn't genuine?
