R. Kelly Threatens to Sue
Lifetime Over Documentary The channel intends to air a 6-part
documentary titled, 'Surviving R. Kelly.' The docuseries claims
to feature people
who know Kelly, coming forward with new
sexual, mental and physical abuse
allegations against women. Kelly claims that the allegations made
against him are false and that the
accusers are merely seeking fame. According to TMZ, the R&B singer also claims to have audio recordings proving Lifetime knew "some of
the girls are lying, but that the
budget was too high to turn back now." Brian Nix, Kelly's lawyer, sent the
network a cease and desist letter,
stating their production is filled with lies. If Lifetime goes through with airing to documentary, Nix threatened to file a federal lawsuit. The three-night-event is
scheduled to air on January 3, 2019.
