The R. Kelly documentary series is shocking the world. Although, maybe it shouldn’t seeing as these allegations have been around for a number of years. The simple truth is this: this predatory behavior needs to end and the only way for it to stop is to let the truth be free.
Sadly, there is a majority of the entertainment industry that is still staying silent about this even after the docu-series aired but here’s a list of celebrities who did speak up regarding Surviving R. Kelly.
We should all thank my friend @dreamhampton for her very necessary work to create #SurvivingRKelly. These survivors deserved to be lifted up and heard. I hope it gets them closer to some kind of justice.

To everyone telling me how courageous I am for appearing in the doc, it didn't feel risky at all. I believe these women and don't give a fuck about protecting a serial child rapist. Easy decision.

#SurvivingRKelly was a very well put together series and I commend the bravery of those victims. There was another documentary produced a few years ago called An Open Secret that exposed a network of white pedophiles in Hollywood, but the media buried this film. I wonder why? pic.twitter.com/1D1giKkwMV

I hate seeing people blame the victims instead of the grown ass man who was using his status and manipulation to do what he KNEW was wrong. Love to all the strong women who are #survivingRKelly

People need to understand that abusers are charming, persuasive, manipulative and saavy. These are not people in dark alleys, or white vans. You go to church, and school with them. They are people you think are so upstanding #SurvivingRKelly
