It seem like everybody trying to gain attention off of r kelly. However, at least get your facts straight. You do know its possible that r kelly could be innocent🤷‍♀️. Stop being fixated on his past. After literally following this case from the beginning i can honestly say im glad i wasnt one to put him down sooo negatively. There are no victims in this case period and thats from Drea lying behind, sparkle who said she never had any personal dealings with r kelly when her ex husband earl from r kelly former group public annoucement said they divorced because sparkle cheated with r kelly, etc.... When it comes to that sex tape it magically appeared at sun times about two decades ago. The first person to touch that tape at sun times was jim derogotis. Jim claims he immediately handed the tape over to the police which was a lie. Sparkle said in an interview that a guy from sun times called her to come view the tape🤔. It didnt take a rocket scientist to figure out who made that call. The thing is how did jim know to call sparkle and why🤔. It is alleged that sparkle thought she was gone be number 1 however, became upset when she found out r kelly was married. So could she have lied stating that was her neice in the tape🤔 . after all they couldnt prove it was the neice let alone prove it was r kelly in the video🤔🤷‍♀️ijs. Did you know that lisa van allen and one or two other guys had something to do with allegedly staging that fake sex tape of r kelly then black maleing him with it🤔. In other words it was lisa van allen in the tape with who appeared to be r kelly( read the old trial) 🤔. Lisa van allen childs father said he even had something to do with sex tape( black male) he encourage her to do it. Google yul brown his interview should come up. I can go on and on and on, but i suggest you do your research. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2XZk4xjpch-jJo Free r kelly!

It's really sad , we are worse enemy. Why do we help them crucify our own. So I guess Robert has done nothing good throughout his life as well as his career. His heart is to BIG, even for those that are not in his best interest

Robert is Not The Man On the Tape..Check out prima donna llc She will show its 3 different men on those tapes..

A one sided doc w/ some scary music behind it is not enough for me to believe he is locking , chaining up girls. There is too much research out on this net that dispels that entire Lifetime documentary.

its amazing to me this man hasn't had one day in court and yet he is already convicted in public opinion on hearsay and gossip. You know were so hard on our own without knowing all the facts. Which is fucked up on so many levels its ridiculous.
