Reading VC’s article regarding Aaliyah, I decided to watch the documentary “Surviving R. Kelly” to see what if I could find out about him. Not a follower or fan of either of their music, I vaguely knew about his involvement with Aaliyah in the ‘90s as well as the infamous tape with his “involvement” with a minor. Watching these segments, I could not believe the extent of abusive control over women, who were at some point, fans of his.
While I won’t go into too much into detail, I found some aspects that did stand out. Robert Kelly was sexually abused when he as a child, as was his younger brother, Carey. What astounded me is Robert’s legal team decided to throw Carey under the bus and claim that it was him in the sex tape video, not Robert! His older brother, Bruce Kelly, was also a piece of work! If you decide to watch it, or have watched the segments, you’ll know why. As seen in the documentary, he’s in a prison uniform - enough said.
His ex-wife, Andrea Kelly, I thought made a poignant remark. She said, “He wants to be perceived as the ultimate alpha-male when he’s really the runt of the litter”. Watching this, it becomes increasingly apparent as his (“alleged”) sexual demands and abuse are about control, developing a god-like complex. One psychologist said that a perpetrator might isolate an individual because they’re easier to abuse when they don’t have any resources. Interesting how the terms “social distancing” and “self-isolate” are part of the covid psy-op vernacular, isn’t it? Another psychologist also said that brainwashing is essentially psychological manipulation, which explains why many of these young girls seem to be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome because many did not want to leave, or went back to him after being rescued by family members. Behaviour and actions that are prevalent in cults, which is a two-way street. As someone said, when the "leaders" are never told no, aren't held accountable, no one believes or even cares about the victims, the cycle of abuse continues.
Below are the links to the first four and the last segments of the documentary (unable to find to episode 5). The last episode I thought gave good advice on how to expose corruption and putting pressure on other organizations to boycott the “who” or even the “what” is perpetuating the wrong. Tarana Burke, the founder of #meetoo and Oronike Odelene, co-founder of #muteRKelly began what appear to be grassroots movements that eventually sullied Robert’s name and boycotted his music. With that, the momentum and awareness grew about R. Kelly’s abusive behaviour, as celebrities eventually jumped on the bandwagon against him. Although, I did find it somewhat ironic that John Legend was being interviewed since there is increasing evidence against his wife being involved with Jeffrey Epstein.
To date, the trial against Robert is in it’s third week of testimony:
Let’s hope this case, like Harvey Weinstein’s helps bring down, or at the very least, exposes what’s behind the scenes of popular music and culture. As one mother said, “What is done in the dark will always come to light”.
