R. Kelly latest: Petition urges RCA Records to drop the singer, while daughter disavows, lawyer defends him

Andrea Kelly/Courtesy of LifetimeIn the wake of the explosive Surviving R. Kelly docuseries, one high-profile personality after another has denounced the R&B crooner. Now, a petition has emerged calling for Kelly’s record label to drop him from its roster.

According to the Color of Change petition, Kelly’s alleged serial abuse of young women — without any serious repercussions — is “unacceptable.” 

“Despite Kelly’s decades-long documented coercion and sexual manipulation of young black women, including illegally marrying a 15-year-old when he was 27, countless civil suits and a trial for 14 counts of child pornography, he’s never faced legal or financial consequences,” the petition reads.
