I forgot that crazy ass GMA interview with Robyn(robin?) until just this moment, and how everyone was asking if she was ok because it was such a violent outburst.

I have seen too much peeps. I won't be able to let go of the breath I'm holding until the jury says "Guilty." Hell maybe not even until the judge says he sentences Bob to decades.

But the admiration I have for these women in speaking up, in some cases for years, is huge. they wouldn't go away. and as much as lifetime is happy to break their own arm patting themselves on the back, i'm glad they too gave these women a big platform to tell their story.

For all the jokes about Lifetime, they did what so called "legit" news orgs *cough*nbc *cough* wouldn't, they nailed an abuser to the wall.

it's outrageous that he was found not guilty in his first trial tbh

That was Gayle King and she was calm as fuck when he was tripping out.

I will definitely be watching this. No doubt about it.

I remember being glued to my seat (well, more like my bed since that's where I was watching the whole series from) and just watching the whole series within hours. Even though it's almost been a whole year, there's a lot of the material and things that were said that VERY much still stays with me ever since and just alone remembering the obvious pain and torment and resentment these women were obviously still experiencing really was horrible to watch. he really is a straight up monster who shouldn't be walking the streets or be near anyone.

Do y'all have any opinions on what Andrea Kelly said about about the Surviving R. Kelly series, and threatening to sue?
Lisa Van Allen has also criticized Lifetime iirc.
I watched all of the first one, but idk how to feel.

What's happened? What did Andrea say?

[queencersi]

She's upset about them including her in the Part 2 trailer when she has nothing to do with it.
Also worth noting "She says she got a lot of negative backlash from the public after the series aired, but on top of that, she has many grievances with the network and production company. She says her requests to not contact her kids and family members about 'Part II' were ignored, and there has been a general lack of support, security and aftercare for survivors who participated."

I know TMZ is garbage, but she gave them a statement: https://www.tmz.com/2019/12/11/drea-surviving-r-kelly-part-2-reckoning-did-not-participate-promo/

Oh, wow. What a mess :( Thanks for the info. The suits really don't gaf. I'm upset for her.

Diarrhea stain's still alive and still has supporters, so the fall out wasn't big enough.

The first part was a though watch. The industry really did allow that pedophile to hurt all these girls and women, while the public (even after the tape leak) continued to bop to his music and make jokes out of it. Disgusting af. I hope all his survivors eventually find peace.
