R. Kelly‘s alleged efforts to groom, molest and control underage girls have done little to scar his brand…until now.
For, after his brother Carey Kelly urged him to seek help for his “problems”, Kelly now finds himself drowning in the depths of despair after the world learned of his “sex cult.”

Now, his label is under pressure to slice him out of its roster.
R&B singer R. Kelly has preyed on teenage girls for the past 25 years. It’s time our society stops his cycle of abuse. Join us in telling Sony to #DropRKelly for habitually preying on teenage girls for the past 25 years!
In 1994, R. Kelly illegally married 15-year-old Aaliyah, and in 2002, he was indicted on 14 counts of child pornography. He was acquitted six years later because neither the alleged victim nor her parents were willing to testify, but more than 40 others took the stand to confirm that the girl in the video was the 14-year-old girl.
Recently, disturbing reports have surfaced from parents and former entourage members who allege R. Kelly is holding multiple women in a sex cult in which he controls their every move, physically and emotionally punishes them if they break his rules, and films his sexual encounters with them to share with his friends.
Despite all of this information being on the public record, Kelly continues to tour, release albums, collaborate with artists like Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga, and be honored at events like BET’s Soul Train Awards. R. Kelly should not profit while he continues to victimize women.
The parents of Jocelyn Savage, 21, say she “is being held against her will” in R. Kelly’s “cult” and that they haven’t seen their daughter since Dec. 2016. And three former members of Kelly’s inner circle — Cheryl Mack, Kitti Jones, and Asante McGee — say six women live in Kelly’s rented properties in Chicago and the Atlanta suburbs, where he controls their entire lives: dictating what they eat, how they dress, when they bathe, when they sleep, how they use their cell phones, and how they engage in sexual encounters that he records.
R. Kelly often pays out his victims before they file charges. A Chicago attorney told BuzzFeed she has negotiated “numerous” settlements, including a recent one involving a 17-year-old aspiring singer.
Care2 members have routinely spoken out loudly to stop serial sexual predators to whom society has given a pass, including Bill O’Reilly, Bill Cosby, and Dr. Luke. It’s time to speak out just as loudly against R. Kelly.
We must not let habitual abusers float above justice simply because they are rich and famous. Let’s work together to turn R. Kelly into a symbol for victim’s rights, reminding abusers everywhere that no one is untouchable. Join us in telling Sony to #DropRKelly for habitually preying on teenage girls for the past 25 years!
Drop him!
Why is it when men in the media always get away with this b*******, why is this man not in jail. If this was a normal dude he would be in jail!
But Madonna is allowed to date 19 year old men at 57 years old? But Chris Stokes/Marques Houston are allowed to M***** the boys from B2K (raz b, omarion, lil fizz) all Molested. This is Crap….. Very 50 shades of Grey which is NOT against the law
In most countries the legal adult age is 18, anyway, where is Madonna’s 19 years old toy boy?…..Can’t believe you are actually defending this man, says a lot about you.
I think this is also known as “sister wives” ? But he’s just not the right shade. Get the f outta here with this b*******
Leave him alone!
These girls are of age. So if they want to get sl*tted out then let them..
Leave him alone? Seriously? He’s a f****** p********! He should’ve been in jail a long time ago!
These women are legally adults.
People defending this man, smh ?♂️
Quite the opposite. The article says he runs a s** cult without any actual evidence or criminal charges filed against him so obviously the “people” are biased against him and not biased in defending him.
You just mad he won’t fukkk you.
Good for Kelly if they drop him and good for Sony if they keep him. Kelly could stand to make millions of dollars from Sony if they drop him because he has not been criminally convicted or even charged with anything.
Once a PISSY CHEATER always a PISSY CHEATER!! The laws are built for those who have money ? ???!!
