#MuteRKelly Is Taking Over Social Media and The Music Scene

Description

On Monday, Time's Up published an open letter announcing a #MuteRKelly protest. "We stand linked with our sisters and will no longer tolerate the predatory behavior of R. Kelly to go unchecked. This is a call to action to #MuteRKelly. His music must be turned down and the voices of these brave survivors must be heard." Jurnee Smollett-Bell, actress and member of the Women of Color committee within Time's Up It specifically asks for RCA Records, Ticketmaster, Spotify, Apple Music, and the Greensboro Coliseum Complex to end their ties with R. Kelly as all of those companies profit from his recorded music or concerts. In 1994, when he was 27, he married the 15-year-old R&B artist Aaliyah. The marriage was later annulled. He has also been linked to sex with minors, sexually harassing employees, and child pornography. In all of those cases, R. Kelly has settled them or been found not guilty. Most recently, a 2017 investigation by BuzzFeed alleged that R. Kelly ran a sex cult, which he denied. "The recent court decision against Bill Cosby is one step toward addressing these ills, but it is just a start. We call on people everywhere to join with us to insist on a world in which women of all kinds can pursue their dreams free from sexual assault, abuse and predatory behavior." Times Up open letter
