“I am 1000 percent behind these women, believe them, and know that they are suffering and in pain,” commented Lady Gaga. Their voices should be heard and taken seriously. Lady Gaga called the allegations against the singer “terrible” and “unforgivable”.
The singer released “Do What U Want (With My Body)” in 2013. “As a victim of sexual assault, I made songs and videos during a dark period in my life,” she said. Her intention was to create something “extremely defiant and provocative” because she was “angry” and had not yet processed her own trauma. The two appeared together on the late night show “Saturday Night Live” and at the American Music Awards.
After serious allegations, the US judiciary is investigating allegations against R. Kelly. Now the singer is said to threaten one of his numerous plaintiffs and her family.
Sex with minors, pornography, sex slavery – the list of allegations against RB singer R. Kelly is long. Now another scandal is said to have come to light. A woman who has sued him for sexual offenses is said to have been threatened and intimidated by the musician.
“Attempts at intimidation and retaliation”
Faith Rodgers was exposed to “attempts of intimidation and retaliation” by Kelly after filing her lawsuit, said well-known women’s rights attorney Gloria Allred. The woman’s parents are also threatened by their own account. “Mr. Kelly, you could soon find yourself in line with Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein,” said the attorney, referring to the actor and ex-producer who fell for sexual assault.
The 20-year-old accuses him of, among other things, sexual assault and knowingly contracting a sexually transmitted disease, an incurable herpes virus. Rodgers also testified in the documentary “Surviving R. Kelly,” which aired on US television in early January, in which several women weighed heavily on the singer.
According to Rodgers ’lawyers, after the documentation, R. Kelly and his team set up a Facebook page aimed at discrediting Rodgers and the other women. Facebook deleted the page.
R. Kelly asks for evidence
In addition, according to Rodgers ’team, Kelly wrote to one of their lawyers saying he would seek medical evidence to verify the STD claim. He also wanted to challenge their version of what happened through male witnesses who would testify under oath about Rodgers’ sex life. R. Kelly’s attorney Steve Greenberg told the AFP news agency that the alleged letter was “a complete fake”.

According to media reports, the label RCA, which belongs to the Sony Music group, is said to have ended its collaboration with the singer R. Kelly. Old allegations of abuse were raised against him again.
This was reported by the magazine “Billboard” and the “New York Times”, citing an insider who was not named. On the RCA website, where Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Usher are listed among around 130 artists, R. Kelly no longer appeared on Friday.
All allegations denied
In the past few weeks, old abuse allegations had been raised against the 52-year-old, triggered by the documentary “Surviving R. Kelly” on the TV broadcaster Lifetime. The musician has so far denied all allegations and declared to be the victim of a character assassination campaign.
Spokespersons from RCA, Sony and R. Kelly were initially not available to comment. The website “Variety” reported that RCA did not want to communicate the move to the outside world. Open questions should be resolved “responsibly” and legal consequences avoided.
Released four albums on RCA
Kelly had released four albums with RCA since 2012, most recently the Christmas album “12 Nights of Christmas” in autumn 2016. According to information from “Variety”, he would actually have to release two albums there according to his contract.

The US singer R. Kelly is back at large. The 52-year-old has been released from custody three days after his arrest on allegations of abuse.

Deposit of the equivalent of 882,000 euros
The lawyer also said the bail was too high, Kelly couldn’t afford that amount, and wasn’t as wealthy as it appeared to be. On Saturday, a judge set a bail of one million dollars (882,000 euros), of which Kelly had to deposit ten percent. How the deposit could be paid is unclear.
Allegations of abuse in ten cases
R. Kelly is accused of serious sexual abuse in ten cases. Four women are affected, three of whom were minors at the time. The musician turned himself in to the police on Friday and has been in custody ever since.
Known from hits like “I Believe I Can Fly”, the musician has been accused of abuse of underage women for decades. In 2002 he was charged with child pornography, but was acquitted six years later.

Despite all the allegations, the singer remained successful. However, the tide turned after an explosive television documentary last month. In the six-hour series on US broadcaster “Lifetime”, several women accused the singer of having sex with girls under the age of 16. Other witnesses said he kept women like sex slaves.

There was talk of the “sex cult” and underage women with whom R. Kelly is supposed to have relationships. For a long time there was no statement. But now he comments on the allegations – in a 19-minute musical plea.
R. Kelly has come under pressure over abuse allegations. Now the singer has released a 19-minute song on Soundcloud. In the track entitled “I Admit” (in German roughly: I admit), he goes straight to the allegations. The 51-year-old speaks of a “damn big conspiracy” and describes his fans as a “blessing”. He also addresses allegations of sexual coercion, emotional abuse and an alleged “sex cult”.
“Damn, that’s absurd shit”
“I admit I’m not perfect / I never said that I was perfect / To say I abuse these women / Damn, this is absurd shit,” Kelly sings. “You brainwashed, really? / You kidnapped, really? / You can’t eat, really? / Honestly, that sounds ridiculous.”
The allegations arose in July 2017 through a report on the “Buzzfeed” website. It says that the musician dictates to several women how to dress, when to wash, when to sleep and when to have sexual acts with him, which he records. “What’s the definition of a cult? / What is the definition of a sex slave? / Look it up in the dictionary / Let me know, I’ll wait here,” Kelly sings.
“I make out with all the ladies”
Kelly also addresses allegations of alleged relationships with minors. “Admittedly, I make out with all the ladies / Both older and younger ladies / But to call it a pedophile for that reason / That’s crazy,” says “I Admit”. Kelly also asks if he should “go to jail or lose his career” for such views.
The streaming service Spotify had deleted all of the RB singer’s music from his playlists in the course of the allegations. Kelly refers directly to this as well and sings: “I am not convicted, not arrested, but my name was dragged through the dirt.”
Criticism from colleagues
Several musicians reacted to the title, some with contempt. “I want my 19 minutes back,” wrote rapper Questlove on Twitter. Rapper Talib Kweli described Kelly’s questionable self-perception as “awful”. The song itself is also “terribly written” and the lyrics are “crappy”.

At the age of 41 Mimi Fiedler got naked for the second time for “Playboy”. A well-toned stomach, perfect bosom and a flawless complexion: Yes, many women would probably kill for such a body.

However, there is also a lot of criticism in the second show. The celebrity couple is out of step with the Cha Cha Cha video
But in fact, the actress owes her appearance in places neither to nature nor to good genes – but to the cosmetic surgeon. Her bosom is new and the Croatian-born woman has had a touch of bottom fat injected into her face to counteract her dark circles.
“I think gentle interventions are completely ok,” she confesses in an interview with t-online.de. “It’s not about stopping the aging process, but rather delaying it a little bit. Without disfiguring yourself.”
“Free Ambassador of Botox Culture”
In contrast to other stars, the 41-year-old stands by her interventions. “For many, cosmetic surgery is still associated with shame,” says Mimi. “But when at 50 you look at some point as if your face was ironed hot, then the rabbit is buried somewhere else anyway.”
However, she does not see herself as a “free ambassador of botox culture”. “There are so much more important things in life than the stars’ cosmetic surgery. Friendliness, affection, moral courage and compassion for other people.”
