The World Was NOT Kind To Aaliyah

[@Sara-iy3oz]

I managed to watch it until the end, wow very informative and in depth!! The disrespect that this girl went through, the sexualizing, the abuse and how much everyone used her, i can not believe it, how innocent she was and how good and well behaved she was even though she was not supposed to when talking with ppl this low, she accomplished all of this only by living 22 years old, it does not take a smart person to think about where she would have been now if she was alive, i think she would be as famous as Rihanna AND Beyonce combined (if not more!), RIP AALIYAH! Thank you VERY MUCH for the coverage, no one did her justice as you are doing rn

Aaliyah was called home by GOD to protect her from the evil that was to come. She was truly a good person mixed up and abused in a tainted industry. It truly shows who was truly low vibrational. Aaliyah had what most people didn’t have nor could be bought! She didn’t want to follow the industry’s requirements for success, riches, and fame. She wanted to go the classy route. She truly was humble and didn’t deserve the abuse she took.

Her being booed is why R. Kelly got away with his crimes for so long. The community is quick to pain Black girls as grown and blame them for their abuse. I remember people saying I was mature for my age, which really was me being reserved and polite. I still didn’t have wisdom or maturity of an adult. She was a child period!

I mentioned them in my other episodes on Aaliyah. This is Episode 5 of the Aaliyah series on my channel.

[@marquistf1996]

I just watched the part at 2:50 and wow. To think he would ever say a 15 year old child was more in control of a clearly absuive situation than the nearly 30 year old man is insane. It goes to show that we really dont see things in life clearly we see them through whatever lens were told too. How could people think she was the perpetrator and not the victim???!!! Just watched the rest and i have to say i didn't know she was being tarnished left and right like this as i was 5 years old when she died. This is just so difficult to listen to people say these things. I can't imagine how she felt. Thank you for sharing. I hope she is at peace now.

[@yageshabazz3456]

It’s a shame that *she* was the one being vilified by people after it came out that R Kelly groomed her. I don’t understand why she was the one who was blackballed and not the grown man who was messing with an underaged minor

[@trini2DBone134]

bc people still don't want to see black girls being taken advantaged of as victims

[@Princess97895]

i had a dream about her years ago where she said she was glad she left earth because the world was so cruel

[@brooklynbrixton]

Aaliyah’s parents and uncle failed her the most with Gladys as an aunt they were fully aware of the manipulation tactics of the music industry

[@name9601]

Just because Aaliyah was smarter more mature than all them grown men don't make it right if she 15.

[@kemartini]

I remember ppl wasn’t here for Aaliyah when she was alive. People truly started respecting her once she died, which is so sad.

[@Robsparks413]

They talk about you when you here an they talk about you when you not, so you might as well do all you can an be all you can be. F🤬 haterz get money! Rest in paradise Aaliyah 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊 I still bump your songs in my whip MAJOR LOVE 1

[@TheLoveBellows]

Shaq TRIED it 🙄

[@brittnykeahnnah]

Thank you so much for posting this and your courage to do so. We greatly appreciate you. Sending love and light to you King Jeury!!!💫💫💜💜

[@cherrycoke6253]

The journalist's backlash after writing that article showed him to be wrong when he inferred that Aaliyah was insignificant and unworthy of the send-off she received. This clearly demonstrates his ignorance and lack of research.

[@justifiedbyjeury]

And he’s still unapologetic about it. He’s more upset at the backlash than anything.

[@Marc-King777]

Yup. Out of this whole video that Rob Dreher part bothered me the most. Like, who does this guy think he is? The funeral police?

[@TheNumeroUno]

Wow, really? He gotta be kidding us. He must not know anything about Aaliyah

[@Manchild331]

The journalist and Howard stern are Ashkenazi Jews who have no sympathy or empathy for black people historically.

[@sicksadwrldgrrrl]

I was OBSESSED with Aaliyah as a little girl. I wanted to look, sing, and dance just like her. It broke my heart when she died. Rest in peace baby girl ♥️

[@stephanierandall1170]

Same here

[@missmohaynes]

I would only wear my hair like hers when I wore it down in middle school 🥰

[@3mi3mi]

“Sure, her death was tragic but this is too much”?? Who the fuck says that?? The media was a lot crazier back then.

[@Kenny-bu4uv]

Brandy , the issue is , no one would WANT to see you dressed like Aaliyah ! I knew she wasn’t acting on Moesha , the producers and writers knew EXACTLY what she was so they wrote it into the script ! Big Mean Girl energy! Very nice insightful video , it’s ashamed to see how abused and used she was in life , but fake “mourned” and missed by the same people who aided in her undoing.

[@ayeasten]

this was a hard listen , it broke my heart to hear all the things she went through before her death and the disrespect after. i literally thought that everyone knew n the whole world loves aaliyah smh but one thing about her, she was ALWAYS a class act. always respected herself. even as a teenager ❤

[@britonyabanks]

Aaliyah was too classy for this world. People really do suck.

[@maloneaqua]

Isaiah Washington is wild

[@AbouttheMusic729]

They need to check into his history smh

[@restlessfae2407]

They blamed Aaliyah for R.Kelly. Instead of blaming him. R.Kelly knew better.

[@nathanmedina2809]

No they didn’t

[@GaryreunaGandy]

​@@nathanmedina2809 yes they did

[@AVIONNEFLY]

The fact she did no wrong makes it worse.

[@Cusp_of_magic]

Those are the ones who get treated the worst! 🤦🏾‍♀

[@sigmasiren7]

​@@Cusp_of_magic facts cuz when u harmless, ppl look at u like prey.

[@awesomestar7597]

The funeral her family planned. It was really beautiful she was their baby. Aaliyah was def apart of music history

[@TTatitalks]

The doves especially!

[@jadem2788]

I am a big Aaliyah fan & did not know about some of these horrible things people said about her. That funeral was beautiful & it’s not anybody’s place to say that someone doesn’t deserve a nice funeral. May she continue to rest in peace 🙏

[@mmisterio7631]

The fool that said that about the funeral is a lowlife racist.

[@ChosenChild-j9i]

They were so jealous of her. God created her the exact way, she was supposed to look and he gifted her that beauty.

[@ceciliawitcher2196]

No one protected her, especially her parents😢

[@santelaneal5374]

Some of the people that were cruel to Aaliyah have had some trying times in life since then. None of this matters now… Aaliyah was beyond this world she’s transcended to a better place.

[@keishawnlight]

Its crazy how Aaliyah, even when she was alive, how she was synonymous with Airplanes. Even at the MTV NYE party, they joked about her flying everywhere and she would have unlimited miles. Its all too eerie! Great Job as always Jeury! Your research skills is crazy good and such a talent!

[@mialiok4489]

Very

[@ThompsonStreet-wz6ie]

When magazines and society were trying to push Ashanti as the Princess of R&B after Aaliyah died was supremely insulting; it was as if the title was something easily attainable. The industry really did a lot to discredit that young woman, even AFTER death.

[@bellarene7228]

Brandy was always problematic and insanely jealous of Aaliyah. Even today, she still has a hateful attitude toward Monica that she can't let go of.

[@northerncapeprovinciallegi2427]

Yep, she has insecurities

[@rorys4084]

I heard about Brandy and Monica. I noticed Brandy wasnt at Aaliyahs funeral. Monica,Mya and all Hip hop royalty was.

[@notready6472]

Uhh YALL do know she has a damn song called Bipolar….and she has always been very truthful and upfront about her insecurities and what drama was real and what wasn’t….hello even Monica confirmed this! Get off her! Neeeeoow!

[@Desiree12342]

I knew there was a reason I never really liked Brandy. Never knew she didn’t like Aaliyah. It’s a damn shame men and women were very jealous of Aaliyah

[@perdybirdie]

Brandy was jealous of all the girls near her who were more beautiful and talented...which was almost all of them. It's karma that she ended up being where she is today.
