Last night, many were tuned into their television screens as Lifetime’s “Surviving R. Kelly” docuseries made its debut. On the first episode, singer, John Legend, made an appearance as he spoke on R Kelly’s beginnings, and legacy as a producer, singer and songwriter. Legend was praised for his appearance but he made it a point to make one thing clear:
We should all thank my friend @dreamhampton for her very necessary work to create #SurvivingRKelly. These survivors deserved to be lifted up and heard. I hope it gets them closer to some kind of justice.

To everyone telling me how courageous I am for appearing in the doc, it didn't feel risky at all. I believe these women and don't give a fuck about protecting a serial child rapist. Easy decision.

Also I'm happy to support the work of people like my friends at @ALongWalkHome who have been speaking out on behalf of the survivors for a long time.
