R. Kelly's ex-wife Andrea Kelly has received backlash from critics and people doubting her claims that her former husband abused her during their marriage, which she addressed in the Lifetime docu-series, "Surviving R. Kelly."
She took to Instagram to address the claims by writing, "Though some want 'expose' the pain-filled, scared, abused women I was.....STOP! I AM No longer afraid. No longer willing to silence my PAIN AND SUGARCOAT THE ABUSE I ENDURED because of how my abuser and his LEGAL TEAM were THREATENING to come against me if I 'didn’t choose wisely.' NO MORE! Don’t speak about MY GROWTH OR JOURNEY especially if you have NEVER BEEN ABUSED."
This comes after celebrities including John Legend and Jada Pinkett Smith have spoken out against R. Kelly in light of the controversial project.
