I don’t think R Kelly is a rapist at all. I think he does have a problem, in my opinion, but I also don’t think it’s as simple as that.

Majority of the girls on the video met him at 17, 19, or as a much older adult. The direct did a good job at making the viewers have empathy early on by starting with Aaliyah. What you have to understand is that it’s not uncommon for high school girls to date men in their twenties. Is it right? HELL NO In my opinion, but that does not make him a rapist. Aaliyah went along with the entire thing.

Jocelyn Savage, she has stated she is okay multiple times and even says this when R Kelly isn’t present. I don’t think she is being held against her will.

RKelly could possible be abusive, but again that doesn’t make him a rapist.

I believe he prefers petite women. Yes. I believe that he even likes women teen women.... Not 13-14, but for sure 17+.

I don’t believe the women and parents are being held accountable by the industry. As quietlas it’s kept we must teach young women to aspire to be more than a baby mama to a rapper or ball player. Some of these girls went into this situation to be discovered, but from the beginning he never knew you sung.

One of the main women sharing her story admitted that she lied and said she was 19, but in reality she was 16. She later admitted this to Kelly during inter course per her statement in the documentary.

Another thing and this does go back to Aaliyah. Being from the South... I’ve seen first hand women who are 12-15 years younger than their husband. My great grandma was married at 15 and that’s just how things were done back in the day. I say that to say that RKelly is not the first to do this and he will not be the last.

This is probably the furthest thing from rape. I do feel that the documentary has started lots of conversation, but I feel that a lot of people aren’t smart enough to separate emotion from reality.
