When Lifetime’s Surviving R. Kelly series premiered nearly a year ago, its collection of testimonies from women who say they were abused by Kelly set something off in its viewers and law enforcement that no new piece of reporting from the past few years had done. Despite the investigations, interviews, and public history of Kelly’s incidents with underage girls, it was only after Surviving R. Kelly that police in several states began to hone in on its allegations. Kelly currently faces charges for racketeering, child pornography, and sex crime charges in multiple states.
also highlight that the series’ first installment was just the tip of the iceberg, as more women break NDAs and come public. And Dominique Gardner, whose mother Michelle Kramer helps her leave Kelly in the first installment of the series, now tells her story.
The docuseries interviews Tiffany Hawkins, an aspiring singer who sued Kelly in 1996 for suffering “severe emotional harm” after he forced her to have sex with him starting at age 15. Hawkins ended up settling the case, but her lawyer says that she initially wanted to file a criminal case, and the Illinois state’s attorney brushed it aside. “I called and called and called the office of the state’s attorney, not a word back,” Ian Alexander, Hawkins’s lawyer, says in the series.
The show interviews women who spoke out about being abused by Kelly and the extreme consequences of speaking out, even as Kelly supporters claim they’re just doing so for fame and attention. Jerhonda Pace recounts an incident at the mall in which a stranger tried to instigate a fight after learning she was that “bitch from the documentary.” Faith Rodgers, who says she was told by R.
made on the series’ New York screening, Rodgers was approached by a young woman in her hotel who attempted to blackmail her with revenge porn. “Pull the plug or you’ll be exposed,” she was told.
