Following the January 3 premiere of the Surviving R. Kelly docu-series on Lifetime, many were disappointed to discover that R. Kelly was benefitting from increased streaming numbers — including Jada Pinkett Smith.
The Red Table Talk host took to her social profiles on Sunday (January 6), asking her followers to try and help her make sense of it all.
“I’m having a really difficult time understanding why,” she said via video. “I think it’s important that I understand why … I really would like for you guys to help me understand what I’m missing — even if I’m missing something that I don’t necessarily agree with.”
She asked her fans to submit their take, promising that they would continue the conversation on Wednesday (January 9) at 5:00 PM via Facebook Live.
“I really don’t want to believe that it’s because black girls don’t matter enough … or is that the reason,” she wondered aloud as the video concluded.
Following the airing of the first two episodes of the controversial docu-series, a rep for Spotify indicated that the singer’s total streams had increased by 16 percent.
It’s simple Jada. He was never convicted of a crime, and all of those people on that documentary are saying unsubstantiated shit and heresay. You should try to understand why anyone would listen to your fruitcake, dress wearing son’s garbage music, with his bored out butt hole and semen breath. Wait, you don’t have to. No one listens to his shit.
You’re a pure moron
Just because you don’t have a conviction doesn’t mean shit retard. I could have killed somebody, nobody knows, no conviction….am I guilty?? Anyway retard, the facts are there. He married a 15yo kid, who does that? It’s fuckin revolting. And this piece of shit had child porn on his camera but got off on technicality because of the warrant. He’s into kids dumbass. But keep your head in the sand about all that….. retard.
Shut up if he ain’t convicted he innocent cuz the court ain’t Tryna put him away. He would prob use his angel wings and fly out of jail anyway
“Semen breath” and “bored out butt hole”? You sure like describing gay sex in detail, don’t you?
cuz any publicity is good publicity yo
Lmao jada shut your irrelevant ass up and your husband is a raging homo oh and your son. Hoes mad that kells is breaking records streaming right now and you bitter ass people can’t stand it
Yes she can’t stand a monster. Also it’s 2019 and you’re homophobic? LMAO.
Lol nah she needs to worry about her weird ass son in skirts pretending to be gay for publicity. Weird ass family prob has a tonnn of weird shit in the closet
Found a homo in the comments lmao!
Foh u phaggot
I wish this bitch would shut up.
People probably forgot how good R.Kelly was (as a musical artist) and this has reminded people that he still exists, and his music also still exists. He hasn’t been convicted. It’s the same way MJ had sales go up after he died. I don’t remember this outrage at the time, both were accused of messed up stuff so this feels hypocritical. Maybe she was angry at that time but social media hadn’t taken off yet, I don’t know.
she giving up that menace 2 society honey love sec scene with kain?
well his catalogue is amazing
i own most albums,no need to stream so i´m not putting anymore money in his pocket but i´m not done stepping
sorry
This is the last family needing to speak on family disfunction..
Cuz his music is great, while the best thing you’ve done is fuck Will.
That is a good question.
R Kelly been in the headlines like crazy. Pretty sure it’s all the late 90s and 2000s babies who dont know who R Kelly is who been streaming his music. They curious about his music.
Because his music is classic, grammy award winning,club bangers, late Saturday night sweaty fuckin music. Oh and its making money.
Love Letters was smooth as hell.
Hey Jada why do people listen to Michael Jackson?
Damn..say no more bruh
MJ was also found innocent. Moron. Tupac was convicted.
You know why bitch?? Cuz he got good ass music. Plus we don’t get anything worthy to listen to in today’s generation.
I love these fucking jerk offs. Because his music is good I hope someone sodomizes your mother to his trash ass music. Dumb fucks.
I f#c&ed your mother you dumb f#c& @$$ n!gg@.
Because he is amazing at making music and it’s none of your business
This is the same bitch who said a few years back that she had reconstructive surgery on her vagina so that it could be like a young 16yr old vagina. Jada your entire family got way too many skeletons in the closet so fall back before you get exposed unexpectedly.
This is what I’m saying! She and Will got a whole lot of shit going on too that’s been circulating for years! Homosexuality, wife swapping, and their “open marriage” relationships on some real freaky shit. Is it true? We don’t know but if somebody wanted to ruin them, it’s enough out there to cause an avalanche of controversy. She needs to be quiet like she was when everybody kept bumping Me Against The World after Pac’s conviction…
I wish the Black community valued its women the way that others value their own…..Unfortunately, history dictates otherwise. Slave culture and mentality continues to win, as the the Black woman has never been given the “pedestal” appreciation that other women have. It’s taken YEARS for Black women to be seen as symbols of beauty in more than one shade….and not just sexual objects to be degraded and misused. (which unfortunately continues to be the prevailing theme of the “hip-hop community”). The good news: we’re now seeing powerful Black women wearing their natural hair again (which is quite beautiful, by the way), and people paying a lot of money to have those infamous Black girl curves….And yet….still not respected enough to challenge the “so-called” Black male icons of music, sports, and entertainment…who either exploit Black women, like R Kelly has done repeatedly and without reomorse; leave them – usually with children and all of the responsibly that entails; or ignore them entirely – opting instead for the “other” woman. It would appear that those who value R. Kelly seemingly support the depths of depravity revealed with his sick sexual proclivities. If you listen closely, it’s all in the music…at least in the songs that don’t proclaim a higher level of spirituality. So what’s been lost here….the usual: the power and beauty of the African goddess, who once again has been left out the cold to fend for herself. We’re living in the “b*tches & hoes” millennium, where the swagger of the “BSD” and talent “Trumps” Black mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, and friends. Praying for a community that should have flushed this guy down the toilet years ago…..
Just like 2pac and Michael Jackson! There music is great and all have been accused of shit that we don’t like to acknowledge.
NOT LIKE TUPAC, LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON! Tupac was convicted of sexual assault and forced sodomy. MJ and RK were never convicted of a crime.
This old thot is out of her mind. Tupac was actually found guilty of the shit R Kelly is being accused of, why didn’t she speak put on him? Coz he was piping her? Gtfoh R Kelly hasn’t been found guilty of anything this why Hillary lost, you people think you can b.s out your ass and if you say it enough times then eventually everyone will accept it as truth. Why yall acting like hoe culture isn’t rampant in Hollywood around these guys? As if there aren’t parents who happily offer their children in hope that it break them into the industry? Do you know how dirty that industry is? Do you know how many actuall pedophiles and predators are lurking on billboard charts? Do you know what you need to go through to win a fvckin Oscar? Fvck all this shit nobody cares, I don’t give a fvck about any of this b.s I don’t believe any of these thots.
It’s funny she asked why we listen to r Kelly’s music. The same reason why you and Caine was listening to it on menace to society!!! Ijs
a lot of these commenters sound real tough dissing jada pinkett smith. If you pull up on them I bet they the nicest people smh
I bet you are angry at your father for leaving and have taken on your mothers bitter, scorned persona in life.
Same reason why Aaron Hernandez jerseys were selling like hotcakes and people were wearing OJ Simpson and Bin Laden Halloween costumes. Controversy sells.
Because he is the king of RandB, makes great music and hasn’t been convicted of shit. Hastag Nikki Yovino.
If you pretend the article is about the movie Girls Trip, it becomes hilarious.
“I’m having a really difficult time understanding why,” she said via video. “I think it’s important that I understand why … I really would like for you guys to help me understand what I’m missing — even if I’m missing something that I don’t necessarily agree with.”
Of course she throws in bc its ‘black girls’. How about it taking this long for the black community to stick up for the young black girls. 20 Goddamn years!!!
What started as a respectable statement turns into a blame the white man rant.
Man you have a point. As a black person, though, I don’t even think this is a “black issue.” This is a social issue that’s dealt with in all races. But I Cosign the fact that she’s making it into a black/white blame game. Because I don’t agree with that either.
Funny how’s she’s not asking about why anyone is still streaming and bumping Tupac’s music. Guilty of three counts of molestation (of an adult) and one count of sexual assault. Strange.
LOL this skunk is madddddd. Just another angry black woman. Ima go stream some r kelly right now. Jigga, Kelly, not guilty!
For real, for real, try hanging ten then look at your man and praise Jesus.
Just because R. Kelly has not been found guilty of anything yet does not mean he’s not a pedophile. I stopped listening to this fool years ago because he is a pedophile and should be locked away somewhere. His time is coming, he ain’t Elvis Presley and this isn’t the 60’s.
This fake outrage is getting tiresome. I have heard some real foul swinging stories about Will and Jada that people would judge them unfavorably too if it ever went viral. Stones. Glass Houses. Protect your family and stop worshipping celebrities. R Kelly ain’t the only celebrity fucking young girls. Do your research.
Ooh? I am amazed he is now considered the average man….a real jerk. From L.A., Cali girl/lady V.Mathews
All publicity is good publicity. Period.
R Kelly GOAT that s why
