    All these people saying “why didn’t you leave if he was abusive” have no idea of how abuse works. Abuse doesn’t start outright with physical violence, otherwise leaving would be easy. It’s a sinister long con of isolation, gas lighting, taking away means of leaving such as checking phones or keeping tabs on money. It’s about making you lose your sense of self worth, intimidating you. People should educate themselves on abusers tactics and victims stories rather than calling victims fools or money hungry. Smh.

      Also threat's. People like R Kelly manipulate, plan their vicious attacks. It's a form of brainwashing. Especially if a couple have kids together makes it extremely hard to leave. They threaten to harm or kill kids so it's not easy to leave a domestic violence situation because domestic violence is not just physical it's mental abuse emotional abuse. It's like been stuck in a maze with no light's. Trying to escape...but there is an end to a maze. Even getting out all bruised and damaged it is possible to leave it's just extremely difficult.

It was sad and sick at the same time...he reminded me much of my abusers who coerced me into enjoying the sexual desires that they themselves had and wanted me to feel and experience them as well, didnt care if I was 11, 12, 13, or 14😭😭..for YEARS my mind was indulged in things that a child should NEVER have been exposed to, but I didn't know any better, I grew to love it, and became numb to the pain..the more I embraced it,the more I felt power from it SMH!!! As sad as it sounds, it's TRUE and to overcome as I have at this point in my life, I can only say, it was GOD Almighty!!!

      It must be nice, being so oblivious. So his wife is lying, all the women and children he abused are lying... Hell, I guess he’s lying too, when he first said, “they shoulda done something 30 years ago!” Like he was untouchable... This man is abusing women and teenage girls. She was with him for 13 years... She isn’t lying. Her eyes aren’t darting all over the room like his eyes were in his latest interview. She’s not screaming and escalating the situation and talking about how SHE is a victim, SHE IS THE VICTIM. *R. KELLY IS NOT THE VICTIM. STOP PLAYING LIKE HE IS.*

You don't owe your life to anybody not even your parents , all i am saying is you have 1 life to live .... so live!! Get away from what ever is holding you back. If you are afraid ,for fear is a tool many abusers use , think about it, even if this guy is stonger than anybody you know he still has fear or he would not have put fear in your heart. Now go when he is not there take what you need nothing more and go to family or police and ask for help . Any way you can . It will be a bumpy ride ( i know i was 7 when my mom took us away from our horrible father). But it soooo worth it. I am 43 now but he would have killed us if my mom did not leave .

The man that ever did this kind of a thing to my sister, I made sure, I arrested me. I will never in my life support domestic violence, expecially with one's significant other. But, then, Robert already told us, he isn't perfect. I put up a defense for him few months ago because I am a fan of his. I love his music. He his versatile man. For, every woman going through an ordeal of this nature, accept my emphaty and love. No, woman should ever be hitten, no matter the circumstances. To, our women, I implore you all to make it easier for the men. Never at any point be tempted to drain their images or give false revelations. I am saying this, because, we have handled cases of such nature. Dre. I offer you my shoulder to lean upon and I pray that Robert will become stronger in his area of weaknesses.

      You missing the point. It's a real simple story. A famous singer with money. And young girls loving the fame and having sex with men because of the lifestyle. No sin is greater than the next. Everybody guilty. So r kelly the only monster. He didn't put a gun to know one. Where are the parents

      alicecapone I have found most women are afraid because they don’t know how they will make it financially and protection orders don’t guarantee the spouse or boyfriend will leave them alone. A lot of women that get orders just piss off the boyfriend or spouse and either are killed or they still get to them and beat them making them to go back. It’s a sad situation either way.

      Patrick Finley - your post shows how young and naive you are. If indeed, you are older, I am in shock with your inability to understand a mother's position in an abusive relationship.You believe Andrea should be further punished, and banished to the corner with a different name.
      My friend's 1st husband was an unemployed, junkie LOSER! After she left him, she refused to run away from her legal family name. She also did not fill her kids heads with all the crap and abuse her ex had done to her and instead, let her kids arrive at their own conclusions. Sure enough, after several years of sporadic visitations, the kids just couldn't believe the hell she clearly went through. They are 100% supportive of their mother, and proud of her strength.

      evang reid - clearly r kelly's story has touched you in a personal way which is why you are yelling at all the women he's abused. You are saying that if the abuser is talented and wealthy, than the survivors of the abuse are jealous because they are now replaced by younger women? I hope YOU are fully aware that you will also reap what you sow given your poisonous and nasty posts. You too will reap a karmic outcome, and you have only your own closed mind to blame.
