R. Kelly gained a victory in his trial Monday as the judge denied testimony from a child therapist. Her goal was to show that the girl’s denial of being on tape was classic behavior of a child-abuse victim. A setback like this proves the theory that the trial will go in favor of Kelly.

    R. Kelly is a musical GENIUS, and if given the oppourtunity, I’d probably work with him( musically)…but He is a disgusting man! He married a 15 year old for goodness sake..when he was in his mid twenties! I don’t wish harm on anyone, but this man needs to pay for what he did and is probably still doing. He has to learn that this unacceptable behavior.

    Amazing…I saw he had a personal blog on Interracialchatting.com with hot pictures and blog, a private site for diversely ethnic singles. The blog is updated very often. I think it may be ture.

    Not going to happen! Kels is a talented artist but, a freaking nasty ars perv. He may not go to jail, but in the end he’ll be face up with a hot dog in his ass!!! RIP Aaliyah!

    Not saying the R. Kelly is innocent because I think he’s guilty as sin, but did ever occur to them that maybe they do have the wrong girl. Here’s a theory: it’s him on the tape with a different chick.

    It’s sad that he will get away with this and even sadder that black people trivialize statutory rape.

  • I called you out!

    they was right to throw the therapist out. The girl’s denials are not the result of an abuse victim…they are denials due to the fact that Robert Kelly paid her ass to shut the hell up bout him pissing in her damn throat!

    You all should really be ashamed of yourselves. Although, to say I am surprised by people’s apathy on this board would be a lie. Black people (especially, black women) will sit back and allow this man to terrorize our young girls instead of doing everything in their power to help this girl get justice. Now, look how we could all band together to blackball Karrine Steffans and Melyssa Ford, but none of us can join up to destroy R. Kelly.

    Reality: Crimes against black women happen more often by black men. This is not propogation, but fact. If other black people would step up and fight against this man, be it with our dollars or by boycott, watch how QUICK he will meet his untime fate in prison.

    But we would rather see him sing a damn song instead of put him behind bars. Then, have the audacity to get pissed when the national media and FBI don’t try to help find justice for our abused children.

    Black women have always put their daughters in harm’s way by dealing with trifling black men. Why don’t you just exile these fools out of our commnities instead of preaching on their behalf.

    No support from the community equals no justice. She was a kid and she didn’t deserve what he did to her. Instead we made it into a multi-million dollar profit.

    And, I’m not even going to talk about how R. Kelly’s actions further villify the vested belief by all other races that black men are monstrous preditors. This case concerns you because in every black man stepped up and said, “enough is enough! You will not make us all look like cold-hearted savages,” then you will see how quickly the community will change. How quickly the child abusers and molesters will be begging to return to prison so they can find anyone to prey upon.

  • Lady Architect

    this is sad…..I can’t believe the judge would dismiss that…I bet he’s being paid under the table.

  • Becky

    Typical…always grabbing their crotches. Oh look at me…I’m a tough black dude with a big penis. NO ONE CARE SO STOP GRABBING IT. douchebags

  • Dalia (Take That Pic Of Lil Kim Down!)

    I guess that those of us who don’t support R. Kelly will now be called Uncle Toms, Sambos, and slaves.

    If this wasn’t R. Kelly, everybody would be howling for his head. But, because he has money, he’s going to get away with what he did.

    Just like Michael Jackson. That’s right. I sait it.

    Don’t vilify the child. Make this grown ass black man accountable for his crimes. Yeah, crimes. Cause you know that he has does this creepy mess before.

    All of you R. Kelly supporters can go to hell along with him.

  • Dalia (Take That Pic Of Lil Kim Down!)

    Oops…”said it”.

    Correction:

    “has done this creepy mess before.”

    Whew, my proof reading is waaaaaay off today!

    So, them having experience makes it right?I don’t judge women on that basis because I don’t know their story. Stop making excuses for him… thats our problem. We need to black ball him and stop him from ever making a living as a public figure. You wouldn’t have said that statement if it were Karrine, Beyonce, Ki-Toi or some other black female. We would have been trying to destroy her name and call her everything in the book.

    He’s a child molestor and get no respect from me. I don’t care if she was a prostitute on the streets.

    I hate to bring whites into this, but do you see how they are acting over their misbehaving celebs? Jamie gets pregnant and white people are outraged. Lindsay sniffs the snow and they loose their minds. We need to have the same amount of disgust for these people that stand as examples for our children.

    This is why sexual abuse is so unreported in the black community; the young girls have been scared and shamed into silence.

    Keep letting these fools go and watch them come after your children.

    who tore down all black men?

    I tore down molestors and preditors.

    Letting R. Kelly go when he know what he did shows that the community doesn’t care about their own kids or taking crime out of the neighborhoods.

    That in itself is tearing down black men.

    Letting him go tears down black men.

    punish him with words and with your dollars.

    1. Legally speaking, there is no excuse/defense for statutory rape. Even if the girl jumped on him with a Driver’s License showing she was 18 and her mother co-signing in the closet that her baby was legal, ARRUH would still be guilty of statutory rape (it’s called strict liability).

    2. That the evidence was found inadmissible probably means that her theory had not been accepted in the scientific community. The judge can’t decide the facts of a case.

  • Kesha

    But it’s crazy how people are praising him like he was a lyrical genius when he’s been recycling the same d*mn three songs for the last 10 years.

    WHY ARE YOU ALL SIDING WITH THIS MAN? How did she ask for it? Would a four-year-old with a dirty diaper be asking for it when “daddy” decides to linger too long with her stuff? Would a 67-year-old grandma be asking for it if the 25-year-old perv down the street broke into her home and rape her? I guess she was baking special cookies just for him…

    No one asks to be raped. How would you like it man told you that you asked for it? Here you are, going to work, going to church, being a good citizen and someone just used you or your child for their pleasure… would you be asking for it? Were our ancestors asking for it when whitey jumped her from behind or took the young slave girl’s virginities? No one ask for rape of any kind.

    This type of prevalen thinking is what keeps black women at the top the the list of victims when it comes to rape.

    For christ sakes…. you are MOTHERS or future mothers?

    OMG…. this is just sick.

    ^^^^^^^110% in agreement .. why does he get a pass because he’s a celebrity or because ignorant people wanna say the girls should have known better. he’s a predator

    PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    This was a theory that was brought up about this case. Sad to say, but there are black women who are actually JEALOUS of this girl, and that could be the reason why they support him.

    They actually see her as a vested threat! This is the reason why its so hard to stop rape in the black community, because when boyfriends and stepfather, or fathers would rape the young girls… they women would feel anger and resentment towards these females. Thats where the whole, “she asked for it” notion developed. Like, somehow, this girl is someone to compete with over this fool? C’mon now…

  • http://www.hairsmystory.com LeAnne@hairsmystory

    No one is taking it too far. no one is buddying-up one you, but there are women who genuinely feel no remorse for a girl.

    You sound insane. Who said that it was all black men? Thats the argument that many women use whenever it comes to putting these types of guys behind bars. These men are NOT representative of the black community and they need to be locked for for their actions. You can be his fan, but he still going to want to have sex with little girls, not grown women such as yourself.

    Sad to see you get so up in arms about a predator. Seriously, man exploited a 15-year-old girl and people boo-hoo when they try to put him in jail. How does she ask for it? Because she is mimicking what she sees grown women doing or because some sick perv told her to act a fool on camera? WTF? So, now she’s being held responsible and label “fast”? There is nothing “fast” about her as much as there is something wrong with him. A grown man has no business with a little girl her age. I could understand 18 or 21 ( if legally, its allowed), but 15? C’mon. You’re got 16-year-olds that won’t even touch a 15-year-old, but a 40-something man thinks sexing one is okay?

  • jimjones

    I woulda pissed on her

  • serene

    He ain’t going to jail. come on…did anyone think for a minute his azz was going to jail?! Its whatever, I’ve been done with his a$$ for years now.

  • T-Real

    When was the last time we saw R. Kelly with a woman his age, a few years younger, or older? Yes, this child was clearly a “firecracker” which I myself have been back in the days (well, not that young). But anyway, when he looked at her, the only thing he should’ve seen was 15! She’s a baby for God-sake.

    If he wanted to do something for her, he should’ve sent her home. If not home…he should’ve showed her the door. He’s the adult and he should’ve taken on a responsible role with her regardless of how hot in the tail she was or is. It is rape. It’s statutory rape whether she consented to it or not and he needs to be prosecuted.

    Yes, he makes good hit records and has done so from the very beginning of his career but that shouldn’t excuse his behavior. As an artist, he should be applauded for his accomplishments, but as a grown man, he should be faced with charges and forced to register as a sex offender. He had a social responsibility to turn away from this child and he failed.

    All these women in this world who would roll over and do tricks for him and he chooses a child. Come on, now. He has an off the record history of being a predator of teenage girls. They are not thinking with adult minds…they can’t because they are children. How would he feel if someone did this to his 15 year old niece, sister, cousin…etc? Like I said, I feel he should’ve looked at this baby, saw 15 and walked away.

  • NubianGoddez

    This pedo is not going to fry.

  • Teezy

    Mabey I’m wrong, but I’m I the only one who thinks these girls want money. R Kelly is not hanging outside of junior high schools looking for girls. So these girls are places where they shouldn’t be, just like the girl that was grinding on Akon at that concert. If they would stop acting like women and act like girls, they wouldnt be in the position to be taken advantage of. When I was 14 girls dated guys that were 20 and no one cared. But because he(R Kelly) got money he aint right? These parents need to be more aware of there childrens whereabouts and things like this wouldnt happen. If you sneak in the club and run into somebody like R Kelly who fault is it? His? Kids now days want to be grown, so they end up in grown folk situations!

  • JOY

    I WAS IN THE MALL THE PAST WEEKEND…WALKING THROU AND R-KELLY WAS IN FOREVER 21 SHOPPING???!!! WTF??!!

    THAT IS A STORE FOR MOSTLY KIDS / TEENAGERS. NOT TO SAY HE CANT SHOP THERE…BUT DAG…LOL

  • and another one…….

    Kellz is a chester – BUT as I said before he will get away with it because he is 1. rich 2. mad talented 3. He made untold dope albums 4. So many babies are made to his music it would affect the population if they were to lock him up. 5. How can Pedo incest homo Chris Pokes be free and Kellz locked up?

  • Kesha

    @ kzzmerghtthere

    I see you. Trying to recreate that Boondocks episode here because you’re bored on the job?

    I have no interest in seeing the flick or starring in one… My Reply *to no one in particular* is simply that consent (“she wanted it” or “she looked like a pro”) even fraudulent (“she said she was 30″) isn’t a defense to statutory rape. It doesn’t matter how people justify it (and why are we trying?), if the female in the tape was under the statutory age limit – it’s a crime.

  • circa-81

    I saw the tape and that girl is clearly no victim. I can’t get women my age to ride me like she was doing him. Now let me put this out there: he definitely should have not touched her but she wanted him to. Obviously yall’ either forgot about your hood/highschool days or haven’t been back to visit. But, those young girls go chasing older dudes, point blank. They act and want to be grown. I’m a dude and I went chasing/slept with girls that were 21 and up myself. And believe me I haven’t been innocent since I was 14. That’s the truth in the matter. These kid’s are growing up way faster. I remember being young and how my conversations with girls and dudes my age centered around popping bottles in the club, making money, wearing nice clothes, looking for our own apartment, and driving nice cars by the time we were 15/16 years old. And some of us figured out how to do it by becoming strippers and hustler’s. And that is the way it is spoken to you by someone who grew up in the in the inner city. But, ofcourse they are “victims” and “innocent” until they got a gun pointed at ya’ head while they going through your pockets. The problem is a way more complex than what you all try to perpectuate.

  • circa-81

    She is a victim by U.S.A. guidelines, but not my eyes or apparently her’s.

  • 2cents

    Are u serious??? Sister 2 Sister magazine is reporting that the girl in the video is now 23 years old & LIVES with R Kelly. What the Hell?? Obviously nothing is going to happen in this case because she’s not going to cooperate. Let’s be real.

  • Just asking

    @ circa-81

    I completely agree, everyone is all like she was young and innocent but if the story that she had murdered her neighbor or something then 15 would become grown as hell wouldn’t it?

  • circa-81

    @ Just asking

    I’m a realist. I grew up in it and witnessed it first hand. In my eyes I haven’t been a child since I was 13. And like some of my peers we proved it. One thing that I can tell you about a teenager is when they start thinking for themselves and mouth the words “I’m grown”; their mind is made up there is nothing you can do about it.

  • Shawn08

    Well, what about the 17 year old girl R. Kelly ended her virginity and impregnated her, then forced her into having an abortion…then later paying her off to close the court case???? I guess she asked for it too…

  • Shawn08

    How about the 2 high school girls he would buy reeboks, and promised a singing career after visiting their school of arts program. But, all he did was talk them into having threesomes…He paid one of those girls off as well.

  • Shawn08

    What about having a full blown relationship with Aaliyah at the age of 15, including marriage? I guess she asked for that as well…

  • Shawn08

    But here’s something interesting….what about the number of teenage girls that have not come forward… I am sure there are plenty out there!!! And what is the biggest shame is that he has daughters of his own. And what you do will come back on you and yours….I just hope no one does this to his girls…

  • Whatchaknoaboutdat?

    Yeah,this case has been over but he better keep his nose clean and leave the youngsters alone. If he doesn’t leave the young girls alone he is gonna be in some deep deep doo doo!

  • http://pinkmingle.com pinkdate

    see her new profile at Pinkmingle.com ,and think she is juat a little gal, and doesnt fit for the society!

  • Me

    it is rape, no he did not beat her over the head with a brick, but statutory rape IS rape. that she was ‘experienced’, or because ‘all the girls in high school act grown’ or that she is ‘no victim’ is no defense for this behaviour. R Kelly commited a crime. furthermore as the ADULT in the matter he had the responsiblity of acting in an acceptable manner, not having sex with her just because she ‘wanted him to do it.’
