Episode 130: Geek Girl Reviews Surviving R. Kelly: What a Piece of Sh*t
Surviving R. Kelly is a documentary about the literal decades of abuse from the rapper – and the total lack of prosecution. This is our review of the 6-part documentary of horrors.
Content Warning: This entire episode deals with sensitive topics. Sexual assault, abuse, pedophilia, child pornography, pornography, and more. Please protect yourselves, listeners. If these topics are too heavy for you right now, please check out another episode of Geek Herring
After watching Surviving R. Kelly, we can say with 100% certainty that Robert Kelly is indisputably a piece of shit.
We witness in this documentary Robert’s interest in young girls start way too early in his life. It’s all come out about his relationship and marriage to Alliyah – when she was only 15 fucking years old and he was 24!?
But that’s nowhere near where these decades of abuse ends. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to watch these girls and young women be seduced by this master manipulator for years. Even when women came forward about his abuses, Robert “somehow” seems to avoid any jail time.
Spoilers: he just makes too much money for the record company. So naturally, he can do whatever he wants – including assaulting young girls.
We also talk about how everyone in his life is claiming total ignorance and innocence to his crimes – and we call absolute fucking bullshit.
