"Surviving R Kelly" is a Malicious act on one man and is not a docuseries that should reflect on his good life! I hate this show and Lifetime defamed Kelly's name! Also, I refuse to watch this GARBAGE its majority and pure fabricated because no indictments or convictions of wrongdoings have been found against Kelly! Brutal Witch Hunt! The #MuteRKelly CEO is a Nigerian ignorant woman who is manipulative and wants to make a name for herself. She concocted this movement against one person in 2017 who the world now hates! I hope she is sent back to Nigeria!! The Wife did not get her over $200,000 in child support and became a problem. Black Women lives natter is true but these women are SCORNED, most are GROUPIES, and parents are disgruntled that their child did not make it to stardom! FALSE and should not be sold nothing has been proven from this movie! These people all got paid for their 3 minutes of fame and the producer needs to be ashamed of himself for writing such "FILTH" that ruined R Kelly's life! This movie sparks HATRED in every decent person who watches it and it should never be sold! IT SUCKS FABRICATED and LIES told by people who got their 15 minutes of paid FAME!

These are all lies. He was talking to the elite when he said, " I gave ya'll 30 years." He tried to get out, but it was too late. Same as Michael Jackson, Left Eye, Aaliyah, Prince, Biggy Smalls and Tupac etc... Wake up America! This is bigger than what you can ever conceive and unless you do your research on the Iluminati, Satanic Rituals in the Industry, The Elite Families, Cloning, etc You will have no idea whats happening. Everyone is becoming witches and warlocks πŸ‘€πŸ’# Just watch!

Very well put together for a Lifetime production. Everyone knew R. Kelly was a pedophile, especially after marrying Aliyah when she was 15, but no one said anything because of his ability to make hits/money. The poor girls; however, their parents are partly to blame. Hopefully, this will be his fall from grace.
