Surviving R Kelly (Warning: Possibly triggering)

Has anyone else managed to watch this? I managed to find a website to stream it (not sure if I can say it here but I can message you if you'd like details of where to watch).

It was one of the most disturbing, shocking & harrowing documentary series' I have ever watched. The depravity and lack of remorse of the man knows no bounds and he seems to be untouchable (more than likely paying witnesses off or intimidating them). He was allegedly sexually abused by his sister from a very young age & although this is certainly no excuse it possibly lead to his very very warped & sadistic treatment of women (sexually and otherwise).

Hopefully the tide is now turning on him though........

Warning it is distressing but this is a worthwhile podcast - Washington post have also done some good reporting.

I hope the enablers of r Kelly go down also.

It's so frustrating to keep hearing these stories where rich men get away with doing sick things because they have the power. The authorities are either too scared to investigate or the victims aren't looked after

Stuff came out years ago about him, didn’t it. Like in the nineties? I’m sure there were horrible alternative lyrics to I believe I can Fly about his abuse of young girls. If it’s all coming out again now, it’s not been a cover up - he’s blatently continued and allowed by so many openly.

I don't get why the police can't be used to take the women to a separate location to interview them and get help.

I don't understand why nothing can be done for the remaining women?

They have had their lives restricted so ofcourse they could be just saying they are ok.

Also I don't get why the police can't go to the studios and how he was able to allow women to live at commercial premises?
