R Kelly,sex god or a sexual predator?
Two bands and a Radio sponsor pulled out of an Ohio music festival in protest of R Kelly being the headliner despite strong suggestions linking him with abuse of young girls.
As a result,Ohio’s Fashion Meets Music Festival axed R. Kelly from the line-up after local bands Damn the Witch Siren, Saintseneca and radio station WCBE 90.5 FM pulled out of the music festival. In a strongly worded statement to the media Saintseneca explained, “We feel R. Kelly’s selection as a performer ignores his very serious allegations of sexual violence and assault. “We feel it is an affront to all survivors, who are already often overlooked and forgotten in our society.”
Saintseneca also announced plans to perform at a benefit concert for survivors of sexual abuse on the same day as the music festival. Add that with the growing backlash on social media and R. Kelly was out. Event organizers said in a statement released today, “We wanted to make sure we heard the Columbus listeners… to make a statement and support the city we live in.”
Looks like despite the courts backing R Kelly's innocence,this underage sex abuse thing just will not go away!
