AIBU to be shocked about R Kelly?

[Sparklesanddiamomdsforever]

I read an article from his ex wife about his domestic violence towards her, and then read his Wiki page. I didn't realise his history of under age girls and abuse .

I used to love his music, but according to his Wiki page Spotify, Apple etc won't advertise or play his music any more as his reputation is so terrible

It's quite well known. Always posts about him on agcblinds.

I had no idea he was married to Aaliyah though.

pretty old news.

Documentaries about it on bbc iPlayer

He’s a total perv 🤮

yeah - he's terrible. Its been going round for a few years now (this whole underage girl thing) the ex wife coming out today was first ive heard of it though - not surprising.

Ugh!! Vile

Christ, R Kelly was at it before Weinstein was! Grotesque perv of the first order. I think his marriage to Aaliyah was more ceremonial than legal, but it was totally gross whichever way you slice it.

I’m more shocked you hadn’t heard of it!

Old news YABU to be shocked

Really?i thought the allegations of his proclivities were widely known

Why on earth hasn't he been prosecuted?! Is it a big cover up?

Kitty it was, or would have been, a legal marriage. Aaliyah’s age was altered to make her over 18. It was annulled. The marriage certificate has been online for a while.

I’m mid 30s, it was common knowledge when we were growing up.

Sparkles he spends a lot of money paying off the girls and their families.

So it's all come out today or it's old news?

there needs to be affidavits,evidence etc. Currently no formal proceedings
But what’s apparent from Weinstein is this predatory behaviour is rife in entertainment industry

That’s reminded me that her album was called “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number”. Presumably sketching the preamble of Kelly’s defence. Bleurgh.

He is disgusting, I heard about it years ago and if I ever hear a song of his I turn if off. Same with backstreet boys, I loved them as a teen but I always switch the radio over if one of their songs come on.

Whats the backstreet boy issue?

What have the backstreet boys done?!

It's very old news.

He even made a video of him getting an underage girl to pee on him.

I have been continually shocked that he's had any sort of career over the last 20 or so years. He's a total scumbag.

@Minniemooseishere

What you on about with the Backstreet Boys?
