The Philadelphia City Council has unanimously voted to permanently ban R. Kelly from the City of Brotherly Love. Councilwoman Helen Gym revealed the news last week via Twitter.
“Today our resolution honoring the #MuteRKelly movement passed in @PHLCouncil,” Gym wrote. “Philly stands with survivors.”
The accompanying graphic reads: “We reject a system that silences black women and accepts black pain. We believe survivors. R. Kelly is not welcome in Philadelphia.”
Following Lifetime’s eye-opening Surviving R. Kelly documentary, the #MuteRKelly movement appeared to pick up steam. Although the initiative’s origins are in Atlanta, it’s become a national trend in the wake of the alleged victims’ harrowing accounts.
“This resolution is about fundamentally stating a public declaration that R. Kelly and sexual predators like him don’t belong in a public sphere, with public support,” Gym told CBS Philly. “This symbolic act of solidarity puts all sexual predators on notice.”
Despite the mounting evidence against the R&B star, Kelly maintains his innocence.
Dayum son he musta pissed off the wrong j-word this time.
Only a matter of time before we get to the point entertainers get banned just for difference in views. We need the govt to shut this trial of public opinion down asap
Wow. Law suit. The man has never been found guilty of anything and you are going to use hear say and gossip to ban him from a city? Lmao lawwwww suit
What kinda b.s is this? You can’t just ban someone based in hearsay and finger pointing. If he gets convicted for all his alleged improper behaviour we can have this discussion but even then how constitutional is it to ban someone from a city for criminal behaviour? Black people c’mon now we need to stop being pandered to, this shit is a circus now.
“behaviour”??? Is that you 21???
Finally, about time Philly decided to enforce immigration in the city, SMH.
Fuck r Kelly but how come he hasn’t been prosecuted but receiving bans already? For a country that believes in the rule of law this is bs. Next time any other man can be accused due to a couple of testimonies and his whole life changed before truth comes out he’s innocent. Do this the proper way.
Hmm but y’all cool with those killer cops tho….. Ok gotcha
Those cops are actually helping society, jackass. Less than 0.001% of cop shootings are questionable. You should have said “you’re cool with all those black people killing other black people, than being upset at cops for treating them like killers.”!would have made more sense. Smile emoji.
STFU you an idiot. Help yourself out
Being banned from the lowly city of Philadelphia is an honor. 2nd shittiest city behind Chicago.
Funny how this asian chick (whos married to a white dude) and these self hating feminist black bitches wont try to “ban” any of the white dudes who are accused of these types of crimes. Who gets banned from a city anyway??? American citizens can go anywhere in America they want to go. R Kelly hasn’t even been convicted of anything. smh If I were him I would sue because they’re trying to stop his money.
Right
But is Bill Cosby banned from his hometown of Philly?? Convicted IN PA as we speak
Are they going to ban priest’s now i don’t condone any of the accusations against R Kelly but Priest’s have been caught up in literally the same thing it just my opinion that when it comes to people of color extra mesure’s are takin Martin Sheen who was having unprotected sex with women knowing he had Aids but some how he became the face of HIV/AIDS how is that? that’s just my 2cents
Permanently banned? Who the fuck wrote this garbage? He’s not banned, some fat bitch just made a post saying he’s not welcome, it means absolutely nothing, dude can come and go to Philly as he pleases
Us black folks are so backwards. Ban R Kelley but allowe the blood and crips??
Allow the priest and pastors.
WTF.
Fuck all of them, I’m going home to play with my wife while playing feeling on ya booty
Best comment
R Kelly should roll up anyway. What are the these dipshits going to do about it? Everyone knows all city council members in every city is filled with thieves stealing from tax payers. Let’s vote to investigate this dumb bitch.
This site is so anti R Kelly it shows. Bias AF
I would buy a home. And they dont let him sue
This bitch would’ve stood by Nicki Yovino too.
Schools shutting down left and right, bodies dropping all ova the city ey night, and they worried bout some damn RKelly? ??♂️
Damn this whole thread full of pedophile protectors. Someone commented where’s the proof? He married a 15 year old girl named Allyiah and forged her documents to lie about her age to do it. FACTS!!! R.kelly married a 15 year old underage girl had to say it twice for these sick fucks to hear me. Marrying an underage girl is illegal and forging documents to do it is also illegal. This standard makes him a pedophile but, hey attack the city council woman for trying to protect little girls from this nasty bastard and if y’all so mad take him to your house with your kids,sick MFS!!!
