Twitter goes crazy over #SurvivingRKelly documentary

American singer R Kelly was a highlight of the 80s and the 90s with his hit songs and a voice that stole the hearts of many.

His music career has, however, been brought to a standstill by allegations of molestation, rape and sexual relationships with under-aged women.

In a new documentary, some of the alleged victims came out to speak about the ordeal in his hands. The reactions on social media have not fallen short of expectations as several people have expressed their shock at the extent of his alleged misdeeds.

Many Twitter users have used the hashtag #SurvivingRKelly to express their opinions.

Read some tweets below.

We gotta kill this "Well those girls were fast" narrative. KILL IT #SurvivingRKelly

I don’t think many men understand that they’ve been taught to see sex as coercion rather than consent. That’s why I see #OnHere, so many problematic men failing to understand why R Kelly is trash. #SurvivingRKelly

It should go without saying that Black girls should matter more than good music & a musical gift; that a minor should not be maligned as a manipulator of a man. Let’s teach boys that girls’ bodies are not theirs to molest & misuse. Not theirs to do anything with. #SurvivingRKelly

Now that I’m actually thinking about the lyrics to Bump n Grind, “My mind is telling me no but my body is telling me yes.”

It sounds like we’ve been singing along to a song about child molestation the whole time.

Aaliyah, baby, I’m SO sorry. I’m so sorry that every single adult in your life failed you. Every. Single. One. This is breaking my heart. #SurvivingRKelly

R. Kelly know he bogus as hell. He met Aaliyah at 12 years old and was already lusting over her. Even had her singing about wanting a grown man at the age of 14. That's manipulation at it's finest. #SurvivingRKelly pic.twitter.com/j8UvxqSBeD

I won’t watch #SurvivingRKelly because I’m not mentally able to wrap my mind around the reality. So I’m relying on Twitter and even still, it’s a lot.

1. R Kelly is a paedophile

2. Paedophilia is a crime

3. The victims parents/guardians are accomplices to a crime (Paedophilia)

4. They should all be in jail. Case closed. #SurvivingRKelly

”There are no big paychecks for these women. We can't pay them to be in a documentary. There are no endorsement deals. This kind of exposure doesn't lead to some great something. I admire them so much and have all the respect in the world for them,” @dreamhampton #SurvivingRKelly
