R. Kelly has reportedly threatened to sue the Lifetime Television Network for the Surviving R. Kelly docu-series that premieres on Thursday (January 3). According to TMZ, the R&B star wants the series pulled or he will take legal action.
Attorney Brian Nix, who fired off a legal letter, alleges Surviving R. Kelly is brimming with lies. Nix plans to file a federal lawsuit Thursday if the network airs the show.
Over the past year, Kelly has been accused of running a sex cult and having several inappropriate sexual relationships, all of which he’s denied.
The six-part series will dive into Kelly’s controversial past and include several interviews with his alleged victims, family members and former employees. One of those employees, backup singer Jovante Cunningham, claims to have seen Kelly having sex with Aaliyah who was just 15 at the time.
Surviving R. Kelly is already shrouded in controversy. During a private New York City screening of the series last month, someone made an anonymous call to NeueHouse New York where it was being held and issued a bomb threat.
NYPD arrived on the scene and evacuated the building. It was later proved to be a non-credible threat.
The series is expected to debut at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday night.
can’t sue for true life details asshole. this clown thinks he’s above morals & ethics. we all shoulda chided his ass when he was bangin an underaged Aaliyah. fucking child molester. burn him.
You are so right, if it was their child they wouldn’t be saying that. He just a fucking worthless person better know as a punk!!!
Somebody called the private screening and issued a bomb threat? Don’t that sound like a episode of Trapped in the closet? Lmao
Hope he wins. The entertainment industry and media think they are above the law. More examples need to be made of them.
i dunno why a doc like this would even have a screening with red carpet …
Aaliyah´s mom has already called them out for lies ,i really hope whoever produced this double checked the people talking
Kells is a predator but sadly some people are willing to add lies just to have more exposure
I don’t condone any of the things that he is accused of doing. But what bothers me is Aaliyah has been gone almost 20 years, and we bringing her into this AGAIN. Just like I said with the whole Michelle movie (that made her look like a straight thot imo) where was all this energy years ago when it was fresh and happening? That’s my major problem with all this. Who the fuck is interested in this 25+ year old shit? Smh
If all of what these ladies say is true. I hope they get justice. But trust and believe somebody is behind the scene wanting to take R. Kelly down. He has an enemy somewhere.
