(Part 1 Streep-Polanski   Part 2 Streep-Weinstein   Part 3 Gaga-Kelly)  

 

 

Lady Gaga has apologized for her prior collaboration with R Kelly, after coming under fire for working with the embattled singer who is the subject of a scathing new docuseries about sexual abuse allegations. 

 

'What I am hearing about the allegations against R Kelly is absolutely horrifying and indefensible,' Gaga wrote in a statement on Wednesday apologizing for the 2013 single Do What U Want.

Yeah I don't think you can get away with that Gaga. It's not like you were a child. You were 27. A lot of people are parents at that age so you can't really pull the "immature" card. And none of these revelations are new. Everyone has known about R Kelly for years, and the underage tape was many years before your duet.

 

You just wanted controversy and were happy to manipulate it for money gains. Just like Jennifer Lawrence was happy to pander to Weinstein when it got her leading roles, but of course now is outraged by him

R Kelly and Hollywood, Then and Now     https://www.dailymai...g-services.html

 

Then: Hollywood celebrities embraced child-rapist Kelly because he was "edgy."

 

Now:  Hollywood celebrities run from Kelly to avoid the fallout. 

 

The Pussycat Dolls 'want their collaboration with R. Kelly removed from streaming services  

Celine Dion, 50, is also reportedly pulling the duet she recorded with the disgraced R&B singer 

Nick Cannon and Chance The Rapper have since gone on to apologise for working with him.   

 

Gaga and most of them were approached and asked to participate in the documentary and declined. Gaga remained silent after the documentary aired. Then when it started affecting her Oscars campaign, made a big crybaby speech that drew attention to herself as a victim so that she couldn't be criticized.

Allegations of music industry complicity        https://en.wikipedia...stry_complicity

 

The Washington Post ran a lengthy article in May 2018 alleging that music industry executives had been aware of Kelly's sexually abusive behavior toward young women for years but did little or nothing about them due to his success as a performer and songwriter. As early as 1994, the newspaper reported, his tour manager had urged Jive Records' founder Clive Calder to tell Kelly he would not release the singer's records if he continued to have "incidents" with women after every concert he gave. Calder told the Post that he regretted not having done more at the time, saying "Clearly, we missed something."^[139]  

 

Employees at the studios where Kelly recorded were required to sign non-disclosure agreements and not enter certain rooms, which they said they believed were where Kelly made the women stay while he worked. Despite the agreements, the newspaper was able to publish screenshots of text exchanges where women in the rooms asked Kelly's assistants to let them out so they could go to the bathroom or get food. The newspaper also published pictures taken after Kelly had concluded a six-week session at a Los Angeles studio, paid for by his then-current label, RCA Records, showing a cup of urine sitting on a piano and urine stains on the wooden floor of another room.^[139]

And yet she participated in an obscene, vulgar and highly offensive woman's march advocating abortion and degrading men.   Sicko and hypocrite.
