The documentary on R. Kelly’s sexual escapades, ‘Surviving R. Kelly’, has shaken the world.
The six-part documentary features interviews with young women who allege to have suffered sexual, mental, and physical abuse from the R&B singer as well as music industry professionals, journalists, former employees and R Kelly’s family members.
Here is a chilling summary:
ZBC’s Power FM has taken a stance against the king of R’n’B, Robert Kelly. The Station’s manager Rumbi Moyo, is quoted by the Chronicle saying, “In as much as R Kelly has done so much in the music industry we can’t turn a blind eye on the allegations peddled against him through the docu-series. As a radio station we have to take a stand and as such we aren’t considering his music on our playlist.”
“If anyone has watched the docu-series they would start questioning his music. There’s no smoke without fire and up until there comes a time that he is acquitted, his music won’t be considered.”
Upon, watching the documentary, one Zimbabwean lady @_liberateHazel asked in a tweet, “Ladies, why did you stay even though he was treating you like sh*t and he was sh*t?? (its a safe space ?) …. l just need honesty.” The responses were overwhelming.
Here are some responses:
Being with him was easier than opening up to a whole new person who he’d convinced me who’d never understand me the way he did

Am not a lady,but one thing I know is that logic and feelings do not correlate ??when you’re in love, mst of the decisions are made based on how you’re feeling at that moment .*people will never remember what you did for them but people we always remember hw you made them feel

I stayed because I thought it would get better. I saw the potential in him to be great but then he got controlling/abusive

He told me he was depressed and I genuinely wanted to help him through it.
Depressed was a metaphor for another girl
