Buzzfeed: R. Kelly Is Holding Women Against Their Will In A “Cult,” Parents Told Poli

R.Kelly situation: America, "they all sound willing. I like his music, is there proof?"

Tom Cruise/Scientology/Kate: "WOW, Free Katie and Siri!!"

Yeah, like 4 people here saying that is equivalent to America en masse. Also I don't know if you noticed but nobody ever brought charges against Tom Cruise or Scientology so you're stumping for impotent internet outrage basically. I'm sure that'll really solve the problem.

Agree with those saying wtf with the parents letting her go with him.

If he was joe schmoe they would have done differently.

Just a messed up situation all around.

I mean he's been a creep/pedophile for years. Somehow he hasn't gotten the Cosby treatment yet which is sort of odd in this online era.

R Kelly has a fucking Harem..... I wonder has he gone full cult leader or is it the money that is keeping this afloat
 
So. One of his captives speaks out. The creepiest shit happens near the end you see a hand shadow waving at her when asked certain questions like where she is. http://dlvr.it/PWL8Dt

This is insane.

Yeah, girl is clearly conditioned to give those responses. Hearing about how she talks about her family, that's textbook. Look at where her eyes look before she answers every question. Listen how she describes her life. She thinks her parents, her FAMILY, are her enemy.

And the TMZ "reporter" is fucked up, dude is damn near laughing when he brings up all the accusations. Like "lol it's R Kelly these people are stupid".

Hate that trash rag.

yooooooo what the fuck. She's clearly lying in the video out of fear. She's stumbling over her words, won't answer basic fucking questions like "where are you at right now", painting her family as enemies towards Kelly. This is insane
 
What the fuck. She is clearly lying

R Kelly was charged with possession of child pornography and performing a sex act with a minor with video evidence and wasn't found guilty.

He will need to be old, fat and dying like Bill Cosby before this stuff finally breaks into mainstream consciousness. If that.

R Kelly isn't Bill Cosby. He may have made us believe we could fly and may have made Trapped in the Closet but he's not Bill Cosby. It won't break into the mainstream

Can we get Hannibal Buress to just bring up R Kelly at all of his stand ups? Worked last time. And honestly for people 30 and younger R Kelly is more relevant than Cosby was for them in 2015 or whenever that little snippet from his stand up went viral.

Or are we just gonna wait till he is irrelevant and ugly so we can try to send him away?

Is it legal to spank women in public? The story also mentions him doing that when they break his rules, like laughing at another man's jokes.

Also, it's an additional layer of bizarre that he refuses to let his women be looked at by other men or communicate with other men outside of strict restrictions, but he's willing to show his friends the sex tapes he films of them. Like, generally when I've met jealous guys they're also hostile to the men for looking. The only way I can make sense of it is that it's purely about possession. He likes being able to show off what he "owns" to his friends but he doesn't want to share (by letting them communicate normally with other people).
 
So Brittany Packnett had a interesting twitter thread about all of this from about August.

Reading replies from black Twitter about R Kelly, Chris Brown, and Bill Cosby is always so frustrating. I had a gf about 15 years ago on the same MO: "I don't care what he did, I'm a fan of his music, stop being a hater."

This kind of entertainer worship against that staggering level of evidence is pretty reminiscent of a certain elected celebrity.

McGruder got a lot of flack for this, other criticisms of the black community, and his less than enthusiastic view of Obama.


They were invested in her success and blinded by the implications of their daughter's career blowing up due to Kelly's influence.

Yeah but history has kinda proven mcgruder right. I like Obama as a president but the belief that everything was going to change for the black community cause he got in power was a huge dream that never panned out (like that episode of the show) and similarly with the r Kelly situation. He sometimes has harsh realities he tries to tell his community but they want to brush him aside or worse, think he is an uncle ruckus

Here comes somebody on Gaf reframing my posts to say something I never said but what they want me to say.

It never fails.

No ability to disucss any nuance, only extremes.

This happens in nearly every thread in here. You either carry a pitchfork with the rest or you're consorting with the enemy.

Fucking turned on the radio this morning and they were playing "Hotel." Then of course right after the morning hosts start talking about R Kelly and the woman says the whole thing is disgusting. Then of course the guy is like "I don't believe it, it's R Kelly." Come on son.

That's a sexism problem not a racism one.

Misogynoir.
The ' Not everything is about race!!!1 ' card is so fragile and tired.
Intersectionality or bust.

how people are choosing to react to this topic and the language/rhetoric they're using reveals how deep-seated misogynoir is.

Ftfy

This is how sexual predators with money function. This is how sexual dominants who never learned morality or boundaries act.

R Kelly is a sexual predator, he's conditioned these girls over time to be more and more receptive of his control and abuse. This is classic abuser behavior.

Honestly I find the jokes kinda fucked up. This is a man using his wealth and status to brainwash and kidnap women then hold them hostage and use them as objects for his amusement. It's not funny.

Trying to use comedy as a coping mechanism but, it's coming off pretty disrespectful instead.

I read that Village Voice article and I'm ready to have R. Kelly's ' pipe ' on a platter.
 
bruh, I watched that video with Jocelyn, and I think this is real. This is really fucked up. I know he has a past and I'm an idiot for thinking that's all there was to it, but dude, I didn't realize it was like this. I'm a big fan of a few r. kelly songs that I play all the time but I don't know if I can anymore if this all pans out. Somebody arrest that dude and find those fuckin girls if this thing is for real.
 
People still dealing with R Kelly after all that's happened? I thought this was some Kissed the Girls shit but it seems like they with it and it wouldn't be the first time Kellz has had willing participants in his fuckery.

Well, funny enough the woman on the radio yesterday was the one defending him saying how the women impriosned are there of their own free will and Kelly is doing nothing illegal. I really hate this fucker and it bothered me that so many people were gushing over him after that trapped in the closet shit.

It's usually women that defend him in my anecdotal experience IRL. Same thing with Chris Brown.

Nah the girls just need to be white.
 
He can afford that? How much money can he possibly have, he hasn't been relevant in forever.

Among all of his hit songs, he has produced hit songs from everybody from Michael jackson to Celine Dion.

When you write and produce that's a lot of revenue receives through licensing and publishing.
