Shortly after the episode aired tweeps took to their timelines to vent at the lack of protection and support provided to R Kelly’s alleged victims.
“An entire generation glorified that man. Protected him. Made excuses for him. Supported him. From parents, media outlets, teachers, fans etc. Straight trash. Don’t ever complain about millennials,” one user wrote.
Last year the Backyard Party hitmaker released a 19 minute song in which he confessed to sleeping with young girls and revealed he was raped as a child.
According to COS, Lady Gaga, Dave Chappelle and Jay-Z where amongst a number of artists invited to take part in the docuseries, but only John Legend agreed to be part of the exposé.
