Nah the money and fame really might have had a big part of it. Also different times of course. Once Kelly started getting in trouble with the IRS and s*** is when all this really began to crumble. As the times changed and people felt that he should face something for this he kinda "exiled" himself to his own weirdo s***cult s***. More and more started to come out and his former collaborators would distance themselves from him so he was really on his own to deal with it for once.

No doubt it's wrong and many of the people he was frequent collaborators with should also be called out but chances are that ain't gonna happen

It always was weird how R Kelly's nastiness has really always been known and people would frequently make fun of him for it and call it out. Dave Chappelle, The Boondocks, etc. I think another reason why he was able to "get away with it" for so long is because after that initial trial which was back in...2003 or 2004? The case ended because the victim refused to testify and so the courts couldn't do anything but find him not guilty on all the counts they had against him.

Pretty much became a "We know he did it, but the courts called him not guilty so he's a free man" kinda thing. Which is why I always say just cause a nigga is found not guilty or the case is dropped it doesn't automatically mean that the nigga didn't do the crime. Especially when there is a mountain of evidence that proves the case against them. The American judicial system is a joke and its easy to cop pleas and get away with s*** if you got the money for it.

This nigga a f***in freak

Spatulaaa

Outside of f***in young chicks and forcing others to be his slave or w/e, half the s*** ain’t really illegal. It’s not against the law to shove a d**** up your ass if that’s what you like. Some of this s*** they bring up in court is just character assassination and irrelevant

They're just explaining the details of what happened - no one said it was against the law to get a d**** shoved up your ass my man

Genius idiot

This stuff about Aaliyah is just sad

This really just leads me back to the many threads I've seen recently with niggas saying "Why don't these women just speak out against their abusers" and these dudes refuse to believe that some of these women forreal be traumatized by the s*** and would just rather move on from it

Some of you find any way to defend this guy

“Outside of f***in young chicks and forcing others to be his s***slaves or w/e”

You say this so casually

What’s crazy about this is Aaliyah was actually 12

Genius Idiot definitely on an FBI watchlist somewhere

2:00

F*** R Kelly

I’m not defending him, I’m saying to talk about what’s relevant. He won’t get any jail time for d****s

Yes, all I’m saying is talk about what’s relevant. D****s won’t put him behind bars and that’s the point of this case

It’s against the law to have a 16 year old shove a d**** up your ass if you’re a grown ass man

Second half of ur name checks out

straight trash human

nigga i never thought I'd see a sentence like this in my life

triple entendre don't even ask me how

... however this is only illegal in some states in America.

moral of the story Kelly Shoulda moved to a different state.

Guess you didn’t see the first part of what I said. I’m sure your local community college has English classes

and there’s a lot more than we realize smh s*** is disgusting

The most fascinating thing about all of this is how many people had to be complicit in Kellz actions, that are not standing trial.

This is a hundreds of thousands of dollars operation for sure in which runners, managers, assistants, etc. were all involved and I'm positive knew of his deeds and transgressions.

In particular, the Aaliyah thing is WILD. I still can't wrap my head around it.
