The finale of Lifetime’s six-part documentary, Surviving R. Kelly, aired on Saturday (January 5). For three nights, it explored disturbing details of R. Kelly’s sordid past and sparked outrage across social media.
Prior to Thursday’s (January 3) premiere, Kelly’s lawyer Brian Nix reportedly threatened to sue the television network if the show aired. Now that it has, sources close to Kelly say the R&B legend is getting ready to “sue everybody who had anything do with this,” according to TMZ.
Despite not watching any of it, Kelly is allegedly “disgusted” by the series and believes those who participated in it have a “vendetta” against him.
Kelly also claims he didn’t know half the people who were interviewed for the show and insists the other half hates him for personal and professional reasons. He says there were various people who wanted to defend him, but the producers wouldn’t allow it.
Topics discussed in the docu-series included Kelly’s alleged inappropriate sexual relationship with Aaliyah. Former backup singer Jovante Cunningham said she caught the couple having sex on a tour bus while on the road. Aaliyah’s mother, Diane Haughton, denies anything like that ever occurred.
Kelly and the late singer were married August 1994. Shortly after the hotel room ceremony, Aaliyah’s parents had the marriage annulled. Although the Cook County Clerk Office couldn’t provide a digital copy of the marriage certificate, Deputy Communications Director James Scalzitti provided the details to HipHopDX.
“Our office policy is that we cannot share images of marriage certificates until 50 years from the date of the marriage have passed,” Scalzitti wrote in an email. “However, we can confirm the information.
“According to the marriage record, however: Robert S Kelly of Chicago DOB 1/8/1967 and Aaliyah D Haughton of Chicago DOB 1/16/1976 got their marriage license on 8/30/1994 and were married on 8/31/1994 in Rosemont, IL. Officiant was Elder Nathan J Edmond.”
“I don’t see nothing wrong, Showing this on Lifetime”
Nicely played, nicely played…
And who exactly are these various people defending him? Lol why haven’t they spoken in the media? Lifetime doesn’t own all media outlets so I’m pretty sure it would have been easy for them to defend him. Your on an island by yourself kellz!! You need to be castrated. You can’t even defend yourself!! Let those girls go and turn yourself in!!
Kelly can sue, dodge, keep performing to his idolatrous faithful… all the while degrading his soul to total dark, till there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Fear for the judgement that awaits him.
He didn’t do any of this
He didnt do nuffin!
..he banged a 15 year old Aaliyah
Not even true
Prove it.
This pedo sick fool thinks he is so untouchable
Meanwhile Sparkle released her new single last night…..
Mrs. Busy Body
Hello my name is Kadra. R. Gill
And I just decided to enjoy this page by reading good headings
R. Gill? Any relation to R.Kelly? If not stfu you skunk
How is it that there are more powerful and richer men than r kelly that went down for lesser charges and r kelly is still scotch free? Could it be that maybe its all been bs? I mean Harvey Weinstein was one of the most powerful men in hollywood and all it took was some accusations and he nosedived straight to jail, same with kevin spacey and many more, r kelly isn’t nearly as influential as Weinstein and plus he is black, if he did just a portion of the stuff they say then there’s is no way he’d be free, but he is so shouldn’t that make you question the validity of these accusations instead of being so quick to declare him guilty?
But you see, that’s what made the biggest headlines out of all of this. The reason Weinstein is locked up and not R Kelly is because he was doing all this too black girls. If it was whites girls he would’ve been locked up along time ago. But you’re right, at the end of the day these are all accusations… except that marriage license to an underage girl. So the rest really isn’t that far of a stretch.
Harvey Weinstein not locked up.
The higher ups decide when certain people gotta fall
R kelly is inocent. Fake bitches
KELLSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Lol @ all these angry black ladies lashing out at anybody and everybody who doesn’t give a fuck
A lot of yall are mixing up defending R Kelly with not giving a fuck. Let all that hate for your fathers go and stop acting like your bitter scorned mothers lol.
Wateva they say he did he did that
Great! He’ll have to EXPOSE THE TRUTH and Prove His Innocence Which he CAN’T! Too Many Victims! Tell it to The JUDGE you child rapist! They gonna F*CK YOU UP BigTime in Prison! #KarmasAB*tch
You’re ridiculous. You NEVeR have to prove your innocence. He was never convicted of the crimes they say he commuted. End of story. Idiot. What is this China? Prove your innocence? I can’t wait until your Dindu ass gets pulled over.
R.Kelly should sue. This mockumentary was some straight B.S. and Lifetime should be ashamed of themselves.
“a serial child rapist”? but his alleged victims are women. some advice for the brother… relax, ignore it, let the storm blow over.
Kelly makes me SICK.
it could say something about the bigger picture of this.
Then prove it. Until then stop talking about speculation as if it’s bona fide fact.

Lifetime shouldn’t have aired the documentary with out a conviction.
