I hope Surviving R Kelly wins.

i have one classmate who prides herself on how much true crime she watches, and she's convinced that mj is innocent. her (almost) exact words on why she doesn't believe the documentary's allegations: "i've watched enough true crime shows to know that child molesters don't just have two victims!" i pointed out to her that there have been many allegations re mj (much more than two), but that these were just the two who agreed to appear in the documentary. then she veered to saying how corey feldman thinks mj is innocent and that's when i knocked myself unconscious bc it was better than listening to her.

true crime docs have every dumbass believing that they're an expert in criminology, istg...

Damn, someone tell her that Corey retracted his hardened defence and said that although he wasn't abused by MJ that it doesn't mean others weren't; he came out and said he can no longer defend him after watching LN.

oh i didn't know that! good for corey though. i did tell my classmate that just bc corey wasn't abused doesn't mean others weren't bc child molesters don't abuse literally every kid around them.

tbh i prob shouldn't have bothered. at this point if you're defending mj then i can't believe you're arguing in good faith.

Yeah, tbh it does sound like no matter what you or anyone else said/says, she's not gonna change her mind. It's just so frustrating to have to hear these people though, because the subject is so serious and horrifying.

Surviving R Kelly really changed things. Lifetime may end up putting him away. It's important tv.

[insomniachobs]

Can just imagine how the MJ stans have reacted to that.

Both really important documentaries and if Lifetime gets R.Kelly put in jail where he belongs, all the better.

It horrifies me that so many people are still trying to poke holes in Leaving Neverland
