The whole Aaliyah scandal had me shook the most. Every adult around her failed her..especially the one dude who’s literally on tv admitting that he helped make this illegal marriage official by forging her age. I CANNOT. (Side note: I wish she was still here 😪)
He looked nervous too! But still tried to brush it off in some weird, "they always made each other laugh" kind of way. I think he should be locked up to for altering legal documents and trying to protect the fact that RK impregnated an underage girl. He didn't want to stop that flow of money. Aaliyah even gave him a look as in "help"... but he chose $$$$ and to hide his reputation. Lock him up
I broke down crying because it never crossed my mind that he might have had sex with her. I knew about the marriage and everything but sex never crossed my mind. I just didn’t want to think of babygirl like that smh
@@applechik04 Same here that's what I was trying to explain to someone in my original comment. I didn't want to believe those two had sex. And what had me so shook last night was the fact that he took advantage of Aaliyah and had sex with her just like all those other girls.
Obviously Aaliyah mom wasn't around 100% of the time. Her uncle was her Manager and would drop her off to the studio to work with R.Kelly. Mama can zip it if she was so involved where did he get the chance to marry her under age child.
I’m giving her mom the side eye! Leaving your 12 year old daughter with a random man (R kelly & other producers). The type of songs she was singing at the age of 15 or 14 was not normal. Any sane mother would never let there underage child sing a song called “Age ain’t nothing but a number”.
Michelline Pierre idk why she thinks that people are trying to damage Aaliyah’s legacy. She was a victim, that grown man was taking advantage a 15 year old. I understand she’s still mourning and wants to protect her late daughter, but she’s kinda the doing most. (I wish we could go back in time & stop her from getting on that lil bitty ass plane so she could still be here blessing us with her presence & music, but also so we can get her side of the story).
I believe Aaliyah was abused and not by just r kelly alone but he's was the worst to her, after watching this documentary I know now for sure this is what was going on.
@@Princess-yr2tj yes yes yes. Then he said o well i should have said something ...when she have that look if help. So u wait 20 years later but u had no issue signing the papers as a witness... goodbye sir
It’s honestly my favorite episode because it was all facts, some of us will scream that he’s trash as hell and others will just continue to support his because or what he’s doing for money
Boondocks writers must've been privvy to so much to end the episode that way. Cause look at now. With all this info, Robert's music is STILL being streamed.
That's my thing. They think they doing something. They allowed it to happen and helped. So how is this making R Kelly bad? Imo. It makes them look worst. They were the adults. They basically were pimps.
@@alamoja I'm glad you brought up that point because they were pimping out some of those girls to other dudes after he was done with them and then those girls who get too old will actually teach the younger girls how to please him it's sad.
That makes me wonder if someone had tried to say something about what he was doing but they shut them up threaten them to make their life a living hell and people they knew, all of that money, what people would do for money.
Purple Bunny yes the hell they do,I was just astounded how all these ppl was around this man knowing full well what was going on and didn’t say or do anything and more importantly WHERE WAS THE PARENTS of these young girls
Isabella Veras yes he was and he should be held accountable too,how in the entire hell did he let this happen in the first damn place is completely beyond me
Girl same. I'm 25 and as long as I'm living with my mum, she still knows who I'm with and what I'm doing. When I was younger, I couldn't go to sleepovers, if I was home from school too late without a good reason, I knew what time it was
Same! If a friend had an older brother or father figure in the house I was never allowed to stay over night. I didn't get it then but I absolutely get it now.
For years the black community has been protecting monsters like this. From uncle Chester to the pastor to their favorite celebrities or athletes. It’s always swept under the rug 🧹 and locked away. People think because he was found Not Guilty in a court of law that he’s really Not Guilty, but they failed to realize that Kelly has money, power and influence. SMH all of these women was failed and everyone who watched and stayed complicit should be held accountable too. That is all 😒
DAMNIT!! I was NOT ready. I am 38 years old and I have heard a lot of these "allegations" in the past. I felt like I knew the story pretty well but DAMNIT, I had no idea Lifetime was about to do this documentary on this level. Lifetime don't EVER need to do another damn movie but they can definitely do a documentary. I am glad they are breaking it down into 6 parts and not rushing it. Also, Aaliyah's mom needs to shut up, immediately! She knew damn well her daughter was f'in that grown ass man.
My Heart is Kap I’m 39 and I’m like dude, I was in high school when he married Aaliyah and she was born in the same year as me. I was in the 10th grade. He was almost 30.
Yes, I'm from Detroit and 36. I remember all of this happening. I even remember the radio station breaking in as we were getting ready for school to confirm that Aaliyah had married him. I thought I knew it all but this documentary blew me away.
Alexislaney it really did open my eyes. I remember being in undergrad and seeing the sex tape. A friend of mine boyfriend brought it to us and asked us if we thought it was him. We were all like yeah, that’s him. I was so shocked when he wasn’t convicted.
What really had me confused was when Sparkle said R. Kelly was jealous, controlling, and possessive with her and his wife (Andrea Kelly), but then you turn around and introduce your 12yr old niece to him???? Makes no sense!!! I’m pretty sure she heard the stories about R. Kelly messing with young girls, I wouldn’t be surprised if she introduced him to her niece to find out for herself.
The situation with Sparkle and her niece is exactly why R Kelly has been able to continue to work unscathed in the music industry for decades. People knew he was a sexual predator but were more interested in how they could personally benefit by collaborating with him; Sparkle thought he would make her niece a star.
Sparkle gave her niece up for a record deal...Kelly fucked sparkle... but didn't want her .. he wanted her niece ad sparkle knew it. Sparkle gave her niece to a hungry wolf for fame ok??!
@chris banks look..if u believe that "I just brought my niece to meet r. Kelly becuz she wants to be a child rapper" BULL SHIT if u want to than ok...SMH then the kkk really don't exist 🙄🙄🤚🏾😒. Please ppl sell kids all the time. I know it when I see it cuz it happened to me..u let sparkle play YOU then...but I can tell she knew exactly what was up
In regards to Aaliyah. I do not like that people are saying that her legacy is ruined because of this R Kelly story At the time he was allegedly with her she was only 15 years....a child. I still think of Aaliyah in a positive light because of her beauty and talent. It wasnt her fault that R kelly prey on her and took advantage of her whether it physically, sexually, emotionally and/ or mentally.
There's so many people that was around when all of this was happening that need to be in jail also because there's no way NOBODY knew about it.... but the industry is known for all this stuff that don't get reported R Kelly,Bill Cosby are just the 1st that got caught.....example drew Barrymore,usher,mya,Kyle n kim Richards let's not pretend this shit dont happen
@@davidanthony604 I'm looking at her with 👀👀👀👀 because you was married to him and never reported him took her happy ass on that show and still didnt say shit about any of this for 3yrs later for to be freaking crying about what he did when u have a platform u didnt say anything I'm sorry but foh
So many people failed the survivors. Money is the root of ALL evil for some, not everyone. They turned a blind eye to what was happening. Just sad on all levels.
I love having money, you can do so many good things with it. You can change lives.. And not be evil... People need to be held accountable for making terrible decisions.
Something is wrong with our society. R Kelly should have been cancelled back in the mid 90s when it was revealed that he was married to Aaliyah - who was 15 years old at the time (FACT)...yet here we are.
Nah...something is REALLY wrong with black people...How many of ya'll are gonna stop going to his concerts, buying his music? Ya'll have nothing to say because you know you gonna be "I can't do that!!!!!!"
Yeah it baffles me how black people continued to jam to his music even after the marriage to Aaliyah, even after the child pornography case. Like wtf is wrong with people? It’s sad. People really don’t give a shit about young black girls.
@@thesupreme950 Where I drew the line with R Kelly was TP2.com and him refusing to acknowledge or ask for forgiveness in 2001 when Aaliyah died. People asked me if I liked "Step in the Name of Love", I told them, Nope. People asked me what I think of "Contagious" and "Chocolate Factory", I told him, "R Kelly is a Chester Molester" and everybody knows that. How did I find out about it? I had been hearing rumors about it in High School throughout the late 90s.
@@plawson8577 Well if the claims that his music sales have gone up since this docu aired then it's gonna take a lot more than a few people who stopped buying his stuff a few years ago. It's gonna have to take an entire generation to rewire their thinking and to actual learn what empathy is, what it means to hold people accountable and to stand by what you say. This shit is ridiculous...Music is just music...your life will be fine if you stop lining one artists' pocket and enabling their shady behaviors...though in all honesty, it's gonna be a bunch of folks in the industry as well as the record companies.
His music teacher called it out yearsssss ago. She knew from his music back then and he was younger. She knew he had problems and what would happen if he continued.
It was a lot, but the part with him and Aaliyah on bus, I gasped. I mean we all know they were sexually involved, but just to hear it 😨. He took advantage of a lot of young girls.
Did he really take advantage of them? Or did they see a celebrity with money and did what they thought they had to do to be next to him like most of these women do? Was he a predator yes but he wasn't a master manipulator he was a celebrity and they wanted to be next to him so they did what he asked. At the end of the day it's a choice. He should be in prison and they should also learn a lesson for their decisions
@@Honesty_iznever_popularwhat girl at that age wouldn't be enamored by a celebrity. When I was a teenager i remember putting posters and pics on my wall of celebrities I loved. I think he did take advantage of them by promising some of them he would work with them on their singing careers, but his real motive was just to take their body and record them. Girls at that young age dont know any better, but r.kelly was grown and knew what he was doing
@@Datgirl0922 it's not at girls that age that's women at all ages look at the girls posted on the shaderoom now. All these baby mamas fighting over these little sound cloud rappers and RUclips stars talking about being beat and abused and threatened and cheated on and they still arguing with the next woman over them and they ain't even r.kelly famous. That isn't just for girls that age.
@@jlobryan6566 I think you know the answer to this question all of them really. They all most likely was fucking these girls to. A Entourage of niggas a party full of girls most of which under age and you think only r.kelly was fucking? Of everything you know about the industry just from the outside looking in does that sound plausable to you? Either that or they knew dummy didn't know how to read and didn't know what he was signing so they wanted to keep him occupied while the robbed him blind as he owns little to no royalties to his music
Dee Xscapes girl I know and John Legend said it best R Kelly’s music was the soundtrack of our lives and now I can’t even listen to them the same anymore
I’m in the UK & have been following on twitter. Just reading about what’s been said & it’s so sad. If true, it’s shocking so many people were around & part of it.
@@zaxiaqueen1506 lol girl. what kind of comment is this? On one hand you're probably complaining that no one is paying attention to this, and then in the same breath you're gna go and tell this person not to worry about it because they're not American? okay
I remember when Aaliyah first came out, I told my husband that something is too grown about her. The way she moved and carried herself. She's my son's age and he was still a little boy. Next thing I knew, she married Kelly! I don't believe her mama was watching her.
Celine Dion got with her then Mgr turned husband when she was a teenager. There are interviews where Rene used to say how he gor her English lessons and he was in love with her but he waited until she was of age to bring it public. Rene's children was older than Celine and they had an issue with it because Celine was young.
EVERYBODY in Chicago knows about him being at Kenwood! And I'm friends with another 1 of Sparkle's nieces. Sparkle used to sing with my dad back in the day. It is saaaaaaaad
R. Kelly should've been in jail a long time ago. He preyed on and groomed all of those young girls. I truly do believe he paid off Sparkle's family. The saddest part of the documentary for me was seeing the footage of Aaliyah with her predator watching intently how she conducts herself being interviewed. That let me know Aaliyah had already been groomed and coached by R. Kelly. Also, the adults failed Aaliyah. They knew what R. Kelly was doing to this child, but made a conscious decision to remain silent because they wanted their paycheck. Andrea's story is a sad one. He pulled a Rapunzel move on her - and she didn't see it coming at all. I would go out of my mind being locked away and guarded daily. He isolated her from her family and for the most part human contact. The woman is still traumatized by her ordeal. I hope she's getting the help to recover.
My Baby don't go NOWHERE without my knowledge...PERIODT! And 99% of the time, either her Father or I are present. And that 1% is with my sister, Aunt or Mother. WHERE WERE THE PARENTS?????Not victim shaming at all because it's sad AF. I know kids can be sneaky as all get out. But the extent of these liaisons are too murch for me to believe the parents didn't know something was going on.
souliscious1 I thought I had the worst mom in the world, because I could never go anywhere until I was about a senior in high school. All sleepovers, parties, EVERYTHING either had to be at my house, or I didn’t go. Even family members my mom didn’t fully trust. I thought I was missing out on SO much, but I’m grateful and I understand now. I have a son of my own now, and I act the same way, maybe even more so.
My daughter is 10 and she's with me all the time because I'm a stay at home mom. Sometimes I would love some time alone but I don't trust anyone. When my husband is home, he's with her. It's sad that the black community has let so many little black girls down by turning a blind eye to rape, molestation, etc. We tend to blame the young victims by saying she's "fast" or she wasn't "raised". We must do better. Lastly, if you see something please say something. God Bless.
It was definitely a whooollleee lot. But I'm glad they are giving it the full time it needs and that they didn't skip over Aaliyah like it didn't happen. Tell it all.
Stockholm Syndrome is Real. I saw the footage of Sparkle's niece in a music video with kids group she used to be with and heart hurt this young lady was being manipulated and groomed then and what he did to her! It's sad! These parents took their children to him for a check! For what?a CHANCE at stardom?! the producers and his handlers were at fault too! This man needs to be handled and I thought that Facebook Live footage when he said they should've got him years ago would've been the nail in the coffin! They need to put the Pissy Pied Piper under the jail!
When they mention that he thought he got Aaliyah pregnant. I was like WTF but people will still defend him. In his song, shes got that vibe. He said, "lil cute Aaliyah got that vibe". She had to be around 12. Smh
Is that the reason he was in a scramble to marry her? Quick wedding. Wonder what happened to that baby? Miscarriage or abortion since her career was taking off? Or abortion to hide that he impregnated her at such a young age.
@@Mommabear30 Probably so her mom is denying it. Saying "She and her husband will travel with her". She also said she was always around Aaliyah. Which we know that isn't true. Claiming to not even know the lady. Her parents and other adults failed her.
Brought up an excellent point Ashley regarding the 90s and the young singers being soo young singing about sex, and love,, etc... Talking about my man or my woman and they still teens! Smh
*_Sparkle's niece was with her and she introduced him to her.She didn't know that her niece would be around him by herself,now remember the victim's father was his bass player...._* *_Don't blame Sparkle because she is not the predator and she even her severed ties with him.. Even the girl/her mother and the her father said "she was not the girl in the tape" while Sparkle said it was._*
One interviewer asked her why she wanted to keep the last name. According to her and i quote " I worked for my name with blood,sweat, and tears. Literally." I guess..
Ashley, the tour manager Demetrius, put all this in the book he released a few years ago. It just flew under the radar. As far as all the young artists singing about sex, well honestly and sadly, most of these 14 yr olds outside of the industry are already having sex. I feel like older men have been taking advantage of young girls. In the hood, it’s somewhat normalized.
What really bothered me was the man who was there when R. Kelly and Aaliyah got married. Why would you allow a grown man to marry a 15 year old? You’re just as sick.
What R Kelly did, is prevalent in the entertainment industry. When you see all these start committing suicide, or on drugs, it is a reason for it. Also it is not always suicide. Mark my words, the heat is coming on Kelly hard. He knows others with the same " preferences" in the industry, and to keep him from talking he will turn up dead. As a community we need to start holding these men like this accountable. Whether they are preachers, teachers, policemen, entertainers and otherwise. We also need to stop sexualizing young boys and girls.
Agreed. People need to understand that R. Kelly is not an anomaly. The entire entertainment industry (music, film, fashion, tv) is one big playground for sexual predators. Corey Feldman been trying to tell yall...
I have stayed wondering when the MeToo movement would evolve into the ThemToo movement. Them too being the children because everyone has been real quiet in Hollywood and the government about kids being abused. That's real odd.
Sparkle ya girl however some of what she wasn’t making sense because she said she had been there since the beginning.. yet u know some shit wasn’t right yet u brought your niece around anyway ?? It’s crazy man
sheniqua davis supposedly another young lady I watch googled Sparkle. She said Sparkle actually met Kelly in 1989 when she was 14!! Before Aaliyah , before Andrea and before she brought her niece to him. I’m gonna go research it myself but this young lady I watch is very thorough so I have no reason to not believe her.
yeah sparkle was talking in circles. It was like she was more upset with r kelly 4 filming than the pedophilia. like her embarrassment came before her neice's trauma. js
She definitely knew some weird stuff was going on. That's why she said that she planned to only take the girl to the studio whenever she was going and how she was so surprised when she walked in one day and saw that the girl was there without her
I remember listening to R. Kelly at all the family functions. My mom even named my sister after Aaliyah from his song Vibe. As I got older I always was curious why he said “little cute Aaliyah’s got it” Never was I dumb tho. I knew there was something odd there but back then that was before anything was suspected or odd.
Now I see maybe why the " Best of Both Worlds Tour" didn't survive. JayZ pulled out that nonsense. Oh and dont forget Diana Ross and the Supremes, Tammy Terrell were hanging around Motown around the age of 14. Aretha Franklin was young and around predators. This been going on before we were born yall.Doesnt make it right though.
What I could not understand was why did his backup singer - who saw what was going down - bring her 13 year old niece up there. WTF was wrong with her. Now she sitting up there crying.
Her parents especially her mother has a guilty conscience... Her parents left her under the care of her Uncle. They were grooming her, her Uncle knew R. Kelly and Im sure he knew about his charades with young girls yet and still Its so sad!
Yup! The mother came off as very defensive in her statement, she knows that she failed her daughter and have to continue to live with that for the rest of her life.
This was just too much. And to think I literally loved him up until a few years ago. I feel so bad for all these women. And even if you don’t believe those women, the way the road manager and the light skin guy with the ponytail the way their legs were shaking and the way they were so detailed about what they saw, I believed every word they said
@@jaffiepeters1337 I'm with you these men had all these reservations when getting paid from this man who has a shit load of teenagers getting fucked in his studio.
How could Aaliyah's uncle enable r kelly and laugh about forging stuff so they could gel married? No one protected these women when they were young girls? This is a lot to hear and watch but these women when through and survived all this sh*t. I knew something was up with r kelly when I heard Age Ain't Nothin But A Number and when he said cute little Aaliyah's got it in a song. His interview with Toure'. Sparkles's niece 💔. I'm angry and heartbroken about all of this they went through as young girls. The adults who saw and know things need to go to prison with him. They're all trash. Bruce needs to stay in jail. These women have my love and support. I believe them.
You are so right! I've been in denial about R.Kelly's perversion for years but the other day I listened to Khia read that book 'daddy's little freak' and watched all of these videos from his victims and now I see the light. He is sick and needs serious help. So disappointing. And all of these people are not lying. Yep a lot of our faves are fucked up. They're humans just like the rest of us. Great review.
Yes, Destiny’s Child was 16- 17 asking men to pay their “bills”. What significant bills does a 16-17 year old have? Beyonce even said she cheated on her bf and smashed a man who had a Jeep and they talked all the time on Confessions. She also talked about giving it up in the song Stay on TWOTW album. They were fast af.
Knowing what he went through does explain his behavior & attitude toward sex. Lisa’s story was too much for me because he turned her into a pedophile too.
Ashley Thank you so much for speaking out and being honest about these horrible events on this riveting docuseries. I always appreciate your perspective and how you use your platform to speak truth. Your so smart and funny. Eventhough this topic isn't funny. You definitely shed light on it. To all victims/ survivors of abuse.. sexual, psychological and physical. My heart goes out to you. I was a victim of abuse and it stays with you for ever. Everyone deals with abuse differently. I pray for comfort and healing to all who struggle with coming to terms with being victimized.. It wasn't/ isn't your fault. May you find peace of mind and continue moving forward in your truth.
"It came out today or yesterday that R Kelly camp is going to sue if they premiere the documentary ------------"Lifetime said Bitch sue..cuz they premiering it" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 i was dead...great reaction!
When that guy said it's just a preference I thought the same thing as Ashley did. what!!!! A preference? No dude a preference at the very minimum involves 2 consenting adults. And what u would perfer about another adult adult is the key word
It was weird that they all called him Robert throughout the whole thing...why was that? 🤔 like they didn't want to connect the monster with the artist.
that's what they knew him as they are trying to convey the fact that they knew him on a deeper level .. just like if ya man had a hood name but your his girl so you would prally call him by his government name cause u not his "little hood friends" plus they also say "Robert" and "rkelly" were like night and day
No girl, didn't know anything about this documentary and came across it last day and watched ALL PARTS 1-6. I Needed several drinks!!! and I don't drink.
Sparkle...out of revenge because kelly fucked her..but wanted the niece too..sparkle sent her niece in to please Kelly for sparkle to get on..she didn't g.f about her niece
@@nicolestarr733 I saw the damn tape...SMH tbh I thought that was a grown ass woman the way she was fucking Kelly ..at the time I didn't believe that was a 14 yr old ...she looked like she had been fucking
TiDubbzz Wheatley Like honestly I can’t even sleep...I can’t wait to see his response to this documentary. He probably won’t respond. I can’t wait to see Tami Romans response and others who have literally degraded these girls for telling their “truth”.
Two parts made me actually cry. Also, I had to get me a glass of wine. When Sparkle said that she heard a knock on the door. Then the women asked if she could get something to eat. He treated her like a dog. The second part was the threesome that made the women cry. After that I played and old gospel hymns to get my strength back.

I called bullshit as soon as I seen what she said. You can’t be with your child 100% of the time and you can’t say who she do and don’t know.

I believe Aaliyah was abused and not by just r kelly alone but he's was the worst to her, after watching this documentary I know now for sure this is what was going on.
This needs to be discussed! It's time black people stop sweeping sexual abuse use the rug. He was preyed upon and turned into the predator!
TheSaintb23 Well said! Our community means they don’t want to deal the dark secret of sexual abuse.
Exactly!
TheSaintb23 thank u 👏🏾👏🏾
Agreed. Our black families need to take responsibility and protect our children from monsters.

was that the manager that said he forged the marriage paperwork

That's my thing. They think they doing something. They allowed it to happen and helped. So how is this making R Kelly bad? Imo. It makes them look worst. They were the adults. They basically were pimps.
@@alamoja I'm glad you brought up that point because they were pimping out some of those girls to other dudes after he was done with them and then those girls who get too old will actually teach the younger girls how to please him it's sad.

Same! If a friend had an older brother or father figure in the house I was never allowed to stay over night. I didn't get it then but I absolutely get it now.
For years the black community has been protecting monsters like this. From uncle Chester to the pastor to their favorite celebrities or athletes. It’s always swept under the rug 🧹 and locked away. People think because he was found Not Guilty in a court of law that he’s really Not Guilty, but they failed to realize that Kelly has money, power and influence. SMH all of these women was failed and everyone who watched and stayed complicit should be held accountable too.
That is all 😒
Candie P that uncle Chester so real 😔
Curly Court 😞🙏🏾
Yes ma'am
DAMNIT!! I was NOT ready. I am 38 years old and I have heard a lot of these "allegations" in the past. I felt like I knew the story pretty well but DAMNIT, I had no idea Lifetime was about to do this documentary on this level. Lifetime don't EVER need to do another damn movie but they can definitely do a documentary. I am glad they are breaking it down into 6 parts and not rushing it. Also, Aaliyah's mom needs to shut up, immediately! She knew damn well her daughter was f'in that grown ass man.
My Heart is Kap I’m 39 and I’m like dude, I was in high school when he married Aaliyah and she was born in the same year as me. I was in the 10th grade. He was almost 30.
Yes, I'm from Detroit and 36. I remember all of this happening. I even remember the radio station breaking in as we were getting ready for school to confirm that Aaliyah had married him. I thought I knew it all but this documentary blew me away.
Alexislaney it really did open my eyes. I remember being in undergrad and seeing the sex tape. A friend of mine boyfriend brought it to us and asked us if we thought it was him. We were all like yeah, that’s him. I was so shocked when he wasn’t convicted.
What really had me confused was when Sparkle said R. Kelly was jealous, controlling, and possessive with her and his wife (Andrea Kelly), but then you turn around and introduce your 12yr old niece to him???? Makes no sense!!! I’m pretty sure she heard the stories about R. Kelly messing with young girls, I wouldn’t be surprised if she introduced him to her niece to find out for herself.
The situation with Sparkle and her niece is exactly why R Kelly has been able to continue to work unscathed in the music industry for decades. People knew he was a sexual predator but were more interested in how they could personally benefit by collaborating with him; Sparkle thought he would make her niece a star.
Sparkle gave her niece up for a record deal...Kelly fucked sparkle... but didn't want her .. he wanted her niece ad sparkle knew it. Sparkle gave her niece to a hungry wolf for fame ok??!
My though process exactly. She was his handler. She gave up her niece for a record deal smh
@chris banks look..if u believe that "I just brought my niece to meet r. Kelly becuz she wants to be a child rapper" BULL SHIT if u want to than ok...SMH then the kkk really don't exist 🙄🙄🤚🏾😒. Please ppl sell kids all the time. I know it when I see it cuz it happened to me..u let sparkle play YOU then...but I can tell she knew exactly what was up
She did introduce them.
In regards to Aaliyah. I do not like that people are saying that her legacy is ruined because of this R Kelly story
At the time he was allegedly with her she was only 15 years....a child. I still think of Aaliyah in a positive light because of her beauty and talent. It wasnt her fault that R kelly prey on her and took advantage of her whether it physically, sexually, emotionally and/ or mentally.
he needs to be in jail period!!! He’s disgusting 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
reshaun jhannet I agree!
There's so many people that was around when all of this was happening that need to be in jail also because there's no way NOBODY knew about it.... but the industry is known for all this stuff that don't get reported R Kelly,Bill Cosby are just the 1st that got caught.....example drew Barrymore,usher,mya,Kyle n kim Richards let's not pretend this shit dont happen

Who’s here 3yrs later because you love Ashley’s reviews so much that you had to rewatch. And the first 30 seconds does NOT disappoint! 🤣🤣.
Something is wrong with our society. R Kelly should have been cancelled back in the mid 90s when it was revealed that he was married to Aaliyah - who was 15 years old at the time (FACT)...yet here we are.
Nah...something is REALLY wrong with black people...How many of ya'll are gonna stop going to his concerts, buying his music? Ya'll have nothing to say because you know you gonna be "I can't do that!!!!!!"
She got more hate than he did, back then. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Yeah it baffles me how black people continued to jam to his music even after the marriage to Aaliyah, even after the child pornography case. Like wtf is wrong with people? It’s sad. People really don’t give a shit about young black girls.
@@thesupreme950 Where I drew the line with R Kelly was TP2.com and him refusing to acknowledge or ask for forgiveness in 2001 when Aaliyah died. People asked me if I liked "Step in the Name of Love", I told them, Nope. People asked me what I think of "Contagious" and "Chocolate Factory", I told him, "R Kelly is a Chester Molester" and everybody knows that.
How did I find out about it? I had been hearing rumors about it in High School throughout the late 90s.
@@plawson8577 Well if the claims that his music sales have gone up since this docu aired then it's gonna take a lot more than a few people who stopped buying his stuff a few years ago. It's gonna have to take an entire generation to rewire their thinking and to actual learn what empathy is, what it means to hold people accountable and to stand by what you say. This shit is ridiculous...Music is just music...your life will be fine if you stop lining one artists' pocket and enabling their shady behaviors...though in all honesty, it's gonna be a bunch of folks in the industry as well as the record companies.
Aaliyahs mom is a dam lie. My sister was a record promoter at the time and working with Aaliyah and her mom and dad were no where around.
His music teacher called it out yearsssss ago. She knew from his music back then and he was younger. She knew he had problems and what would happen if he continued.
Sparkle telling her nieces story is what sealed it for me 😮. I don’t need to see anymore.

I’ve watched you for years and have never seen you take a drink with a stressed look 😲 Exactly why I couldn’t watch.
Thanks for the review 🤗
Joycie Johnson the brothers interview is worse I had to click out if it
Joycie Johnson you need to watch because it's very important for black culture
His younger brother Carey said that they were all abused(sexually) by their older sister so that's probably why Bruce likes older women.
WOW.
Noooo! What?!
Bruce did say that and Bruce was wild saying Kelly likes what he likes.. I was so upset
Bruce didn't gaf he was happy to have visitors
Yeah, I saw that interview on Tasha K
It was a lot, but the part with him and Aaliyah on bus, I gasped. I mean we all know they were sexually involved, but just to hear it 😨. He took advantage of a lot of young girls.
He was doing the same thing with his back up dancers who JUST teens themselves. 😨
Did he really take advantage of them? Or did they see a celebrity with money and did what they thought they had to do to be next to him like most of these women do? Was he a predator yes but he wasn't a master manipulator he was a celebrity and they wanted to be next to him so they did what he asked. At the end of the day it's a choice. He should be in prison and they should also learn a lesson for their decisions
@@Honesty_iznever_popularwhat girl at that age wouldn't be enamored by a celebrity. When I was a teenager i remember putting posters and pics on my wall of celebrities I loved. I think he did take advantage of them by promising some of them he would work with them on their singing careers, but his real motive was just to take their body and record them. Girls at that young age dont know any better, but r.kelly was grown and knew what he was doing
@@Datgirl0922 it's not at girls that age that's women at all ages look at the girls posted on the shaderoom now. All these baby mamas fighting over these little sound cloud rappers and RUclips stars talking about being beat and abused and threatened and cheated on and they still arguing with the next woman over them and they ain't even r.kelly famous. That isn't just for girls that age.
@@jlobryan6566 I think you know the answer to this question all of them really. They all most likely was fucking these girls to. A Entourage of niggas a party full of girls most of which under age and you think only r.kelly was fucking? Of everything you know about the industry just from the outside looking in does that sound plausable to you? Either that or they knew dummy didn't know how to read and didn't know what he was signing so they wanted to keep him occupied while the robbed him blind as he owns little to no royalties to his music
It pains me that all of these songs has a dark history behind them 😥

Zaxia Queen Girl. Delete this.
Oh Lord. The documentary got Ashley taking shots!!!!
I remember when Aaliyah first came out, I told my husband that something is too grown about her. The way she moved and carried herself. She's my son's age and he was still a little boy. Next thing I knew, she married Kelly! I don't believe her mama was watching her.
Triggered all my childhood trauma. It's too much
Yes ma'am I had to say my psalms and cry and pray.
Yup I didnt even watch it but based on comments....👀
Same 😔
Same here
Mine too! I'm having trouble sleeping.
Celine Dion got with her then Mgr turned husband when she was a teenager. There are interviews where Rene used to say how he gor her English lessons and he was in love with her but he waited until she was of age to bring it public. Rene's children was older than Celine and they had an issue with it because Celine was young.
Sharice Brown good point because Rene was friends with father I believe
Yes Rene was old as fuck and still was old as fuck when she married him. So yeah grooming and preying on young women has always been a thing.
Welcome to Hollyweird where all debauchery is normal! Parents must low key stalk your children to keep them safe, both boys and girls.
Very true
Ughhh why are men so gross.

R. Kelly should've been in jail a long time ago. He preyed on and groomed all of those young girls. I truly do believe he paid off Sparkle's family. The saddest part of the documentary for me was seeing the footage of Aaliyah with her predator watching intently how she conducts herself being interviewed. That let me know Aaliyah had already been groomed and coached by R. Kelly. Also, the adults failed Aaliyah. They knew what R. Kelly was doing to this child, but made a conscious decision to remain silent because they wanted their paycheck. Andrea's story is a sad one. He pulled a Rapunzel move on her - and she didn't see it coming at all. I would go out of my mind being locked away and guarded daily. He isolated her from her family and for the most part human contact. The woman is still traumatized by her ordeal. I hope she's getting the help to recover.
No doubt he paid them off
My Baby don't go NOWHERE without my knowledge...PERIODT! And 99% of the time, either her Father or I are present. And that 1% is with my sister, Aunt or Mother. WHERE WERE THE PARENTS?????Not victim shaming at all because it's sad AF. I know kids can be sneaky as all get out. But the extent of these liaisons are too murch for me to believe the parents didn't know something was going on.
I was thinking the same thing , like where were their parents at ?
souliscious1 I thought I had the worst mom in the world, because I could never go anywhere until I was about a senior in high school. All sleepovers, parties, EVERYTHING either had to be at my house, or I didn’t go. Even family members my mom didn’t fully trust. I thought I was missing out on SO much, but I’m grateful and I understand now. I have a son of my own now, and I act the same way, maybe even more so.
My daughter is 10 and she's with me all the time because I'm a stay at home mom. Sometimes I would love some time alone but I don't trust anyone. When my husband is home, he's with her. It's sad that the black community has let so many little black girls down by turning a blind eye to rape, molestation, etc. We tend to blame the young victims by saying she's "fast" or she wasn't "raised". We must do better. Lastly, if you see something please say something.
God Bless.
Spoken like a true momma that actually cares about her kids! Notice i said momma not mother!!
souliscious1 I’ve been asking that exact same question where was the parents
Every song is about a woman he victimized.. every one of them songs............
You remind me of my Jeep...a possession. 🤦🏽♀️
Sooo fucking sick bro.
@@nessydelight470 shows ur music taste is rubbish
@@tamiltiger4923 that is your opinion, I don’t listen to R. Kelly anymore.
I don't know if I can watch it. It may trigger too many things for me.
The 3XL, sir!😂😂😂
I don't think R. Kelly was doing this by himself...I think the people around him was participating in these acts as well
#SurvivingRKelly imagine if Aaliyah was alive and have to answer these questions on the breakfast club sway or hot 97 bruhhh
It was definitely a whooollleee lot. But I'm glad they are giving it the full time it needs and that they didn't skip over Aaliyah like it didn't happen. Tell it all.
Exactly. Everything needs to be told.
Was it said if she was pregnant or not
@@sosincere564 yes they did say. That was why they got married.
Stockholm Syndrome is Real. I saw the footage of Sparkle's niece in a music video with kids group she used to be with and heart hurt this young lady was being manipulated and groomed then and what he did to her! It's sad! These parents took their children to him for a check! For what?a CHANCE at stardom?! the producers and his handlers were at fault too! This man needs to be handled and I thought that Facebook Live footage when he said they should've got him years ago would've been the nail in the coffin! They need to put the Pissy Pied Piper under the jail!
When they mention that he thought he got Aaliyah pregnant. I was like WTF but people will still defend him. In his song, shes got that vibe. He said, "lil cute Aaliyah got that vibe". She had to be around 12. Smh
Is that the reason he was in a scramble to marry her? Quick wedding. Wonder what happened to that baby? Miscarriage or abortion since her career was taking off? Or abortion to hide that he impregnated her at such a young age.
Being older now... seeing how young Aaliyah looked. I almost couldn't take it.
@@Mommabear30 Probably so her mom is denying it. Saying "She and her husband will travel with her". She also said she was always around Aaliyah. Which we know that isn't true. Claiming to not even know the lady. Her parents and other adults failed her.
Simply Nya who care
@@jaffiepeters1337 clearly a lot of people
You know the video is gone be goodt when Ashley starts with a sigh pause sigh pause and pours a drink lol
Brought up an excellent point Ashley regarding the 90s and the young singers being soo young singing about sex, and love,, etc... Talking about my man or my woman and they still teens! Smh
Sparkle knew how he was and brought her niece to meet the predator... mmkay 🤦🏾♀️
Simone X definitely still gonna blame Sparkle. She even blamed herself. sh*t, so do I. 🤷🏾♀️
*_Sparkle's niece was with her and she introduced him to her.She didn't know that her niece would be around him by herself,now remember the victim's father was his bass player...._*
*_Don't blame Sparkle because she is not the predator and she even her severed ties with him.. Even the girl/her mother and the her father said "she was not the girl in the tape" while Sparkle said it was._*
I’m sorry but when Ashley took that drink I died. Great video Ashely!
I don’t understand why Andrea is keeping his last name even now. Well...
Wants to be known n feel important because she has no self worth that's why
She wants to profit of off the last name.
She got 3 kids by him..she never got alimony from him EVER
One interviewer asked her why she wanted to keep the last name. According to her and i quote " I worked for my name with blood,sweat, and tears. Literally." I guess..
right!
I'm really thinking about his lyrics to all his songs and I'm disgusted
Who else remembers that episode of Boondocks where Rkelly starts singing in the courtroom?
Sums up a LOT!
Ashley, the tour manager Demetrius, put all this in the book he released a few years ago. It just flew under the radar. As far as all the young artists singing about sex, well honestly and sadly, most of these 14 yr olds outside of the industry are already having sex. I feel like older men have been taking advantage of young girls. In the hood, it’s somewhat normalized.
What really bothered me was the man who was there when R. Kelly and Aaliyah got married. Why would you allow a grown man to marry a 15 year old? You’re just as sick.
What R Kelly did, is prevalent in the entertainment industry. When you see all these start committing suicide, or on drugs, it is a reason for it. Also it is not always suicide. Mark my words, the heat is coming on Kelly hard. He knows others with the same " preferences" in the industry, and to keep him from talking he will turn up dead. As a community we need to start holding these men like this accountable. Whether they are preachers, teachers, policemen, entertainers and otherwise. We also need to stop sexualizing young boys and girls.
Agreed. People need to understand that R. Kelly is not an anomaly. The entire entertainment industry (music, film, fashion, tv) is one big playground for sexual predators. Corey Feldman been trying to tell yall...
I have stayed wondering when the MeToo movement would evolve into the ThemToo movement. Them too being the children because everyone has been real quiet in Hollywood and the government about kids being abused. That's real odd.
@@anahnnemus5187 Yeeesss! Children are the most vulnerable in the industry, wheres the outrage on behalf of them???
I had your exact reaction...it was alot to take. We knew it was true, but to hear first account details, especially about Aaliyah! 😧
Sparkle ya girl however some of what she wasn’t making sense because she said she had been there since the beginning.. yet u know some shit wasn’t right yet u brought your niece around anyway ?? It’s crazy man
sheniqua davis supposedly another young lady I watch googled Sparkle. She said Sparkle actually met Kelly in 1989 when she was 14!! Before Aaliyah , before Andrea and before she brought her niece to him. I’m gonna go research it myself but this young lady I watch is very thorough so I have no reason to not believe her.
MizzShron Yea wow man it’s crazy
yeah sparkle was talking in circles. It was like she was more upset with r kelly 4 filming than the pedophilia. like her embarrassment came before her neice's trauma. js
She definitely knew some weird stuff was going on. That's why she said that she planned to only take the girl to the studio whenever she was going and how she was so surprised when she walked in one day and saw that the girl was there without her
I cried like a baby when Aaliyah died. It took years for me to be able to even listen to her music again. I was in the 10th grade when she died. UGH
Kissed by the Sun yes I was heartbroken too and I was in the 9th grade.....around Ashleys age
How did I know you were gonna open this review with a deep sigh😂😂😂
I remember listening to R. Kelly at all the family functions. My mom even named my sister after Aaliyah from his song Vibe. As I got older I always was curious why he said “little cute Aaliyah’s got it”
Never was I dumb tho.
I knew there was something odd there but back then that was before anything was suspected or odd.
Tour manager is really what garage are made of
Now I see maybe why the " Best of Both Worlds Tour" didn't survive. JayZ pulled out that nonsense. Oh and dont forget Diana Ross and the Supremes, Tammy Terrell were hanging around Motown around the age of 14. Aretha Franklin was young and around predators. This been going on before we were born yall.Doesnt make it right though.
What I could not understand was why did his backup singer - who saw what was going down - bring her 13 year old niece up there. WTF was wrong with her. Now she sitting up there crying.
Ashley’s initial reaction is hilarious 😆 but that shit was deep AF great review Ashley
Her parents especially her mother has a guilty conscience... Her parents left her under the care of her Uncle. They were grooming her, her Uncle knew R. Kelly and Im sure he knew about his charades with young girls yet and still Its so sad!
Yup! The mother came off as very defensive in her statement, she knows that she failed her daughter and have to continue to live with that for the rest of her life.
This was just too much. And to think I literally loved him up until a few years ago. I feel so bad for all these women. And even if you don’t believe those women, the way the road manager and the light skin guy with the ponytail the way their legs were shaking and the way they were so detailed about what they saw, I believed every word they said

How could Aaliyah's uncle enable r kelly and laugh about forging stuff so they could gel married? No one protected these women when they were young girls? This is a lot to hear and watch but these women when through and survived all this sh*t. I knew something was up with r kelly when I heard Age Ain't Nothin But A Number and when he said cute little Aaliyah's got it in a song. His interview with Toure'. Sparkles's niece 💔. I'm angry and heartbroken about all of this they went through as young girls. The adults who saw and know things need to go to prison with him. They're all trash. Bruce needs to stay in jail. These women have my love and support. I believe them.
Nada07able Barry Hankerson is her uncle. He didn’t do the forging.
You are so right! I've been in denial about R.Kelly's perversion for years but the other day I listened to Khia read that book 'daddy's little freak' and watched all of these videos from his victims and now I see the light. He is sick and needs serious help. So disappointing. And all of these people are not lying. Yep a lot of our faves are fucked up. They're humans just like the rest of us. Great review.
Wow! This is so much worse than I thought. I guess what makes it sooo bad was that so many people saw it and did nothing.
Yes, Destiny’s Child was 16- 17 asking men to pay their “bills”. What significant bills does a 16-17 year old have? Beyonce even said she cheated on her bf and smashed a man who had a Jeep and they talked all the time on Confessions. She also talked about giving it up in the song Stay on TWOTW album. They were fast af.
I will say they had to learn that from somewhere. They had to have been groomed.
That wasn't Beys story Kandi Burruss wrote that whole DC album lol
When I first heard the “My Body’s Callin’” Remix with Aaliyah, I was sick to my stomach. I cannot listen to that song ever again.
Girl I believe grandma. Why would that old lady lie?
Knowing what he went through does explain his behavior & attitude toward sex. Lisa’s story was too much for me because he turned her into a pedophile too.
I really could not believe sparkle introduced her niece to that guy. And Craig just thought EVERYTHING was strange. WOW!
Ashley Thank you so much for speaking out and being honest about these horrible events on this riveting docuseries. I always appreciate your perspective and how you use your platform to speak truth. Your so smart and funny. Eventhough this topic isn't funny. You definitely shed light on it. To all victims/ survivors of abuse.. sexual, psychological and physical. My heart goes out to you. I was a victim of abuse and it stays with you for ever. Everyone deals with abuse differently. I pray for comfort and healing to all who struggle with coming to terms with being victimized.. It wasn't/ isn't your fault. May you find peace of mind and continue moving forward in your truth.
It makes me sick and sad that everyone saw all this stuff going down and no one stepped in to stop him!!

I'm all in my feelings after watching this show. Lordt!
Me too
When that guy said it's just a preference I thought the same thing as Ashley did. what!!!! A preference? No dude a preference at the very minimum involves 2 consenting adults. And what u would perfer about another adult adult is the key word
Good review. The documentary was disturbing. To many adults involved. I don’t understand why no one called the authorities.
It was weird that they all called him Robert throughout the whole thing...why was that? 🤔 like they didn't want to connect the monster with the artist.
Orrr bc that's his name. Like Beyonce calling Jay Z Shawn -_-
@@xokree I'm dead 😂😂
that's what they knew him as they are trying to convey the fact that they knew him on a deeper level .. just like if ya man had a hood name but your his girl so you would prally call him by his government name cause u not his "little hood friends" plus they also say "Robert" and "rkelly" were like night and day
That's what I thought. Make "Robert" troubled and "R. Kelly " a musical genius

Honestly....I’ve just finished watching everything in just one day. I wish I had taken time or a break to watch things because honestly I’m sicken!
yeah it's too much to binge watch. After day 1 all I could do is sit in silence. Tried to tell my husband about it but all I could say was wow.
TiDubbzz Wheatley Like honestly I can’t even sleep...I can’t wait to see his response to this documentary. He probably won’t respond. I can’t wait to see Tami Romans response and others who have literally degraded these girls for telling their “truth”.
Girlllll you GAVE this review. 😮😲😲 I feel like we just got off the phone or better yet FaceTime talkin 'bout this!
Whew Chile!! I haven’t even watched yet . This sounds so disturbing
Two parts made me actually cry. Also, I had to get me a glass of wine. When Sparkle said that she heard a knock on the door. Then the women asked if she could get something to eat. He treated her like a dog. The second part was the threesome that made the women cry. After that I played and old gospel hymns to get my strength back.
