What We Know:

  • Keke Palmer struggles to take in the “other side” of alleged sexual predator R&B singer R. Kelly.
  • Palmer shared her thoughts and disappointments on R. Kelly as the documentary, Surviving R. Kelly, aired about him sexually assaulting women under the age of 18.
  • Palmer said, “I was surprised by the allegations that were brought to light in the series, That is not the person I worked with. That’s not the experience I had. Why didn’t you show them what you showed me?”
  • Palmer then continued saying she felt like Kelly was a friend to her, but seeing him hurt others hurts her too. “That’s not something you want to hear about somebody that you cared for.”

Kelly is now facing 18 charges for sexually abusing four women, three who were underage at the time.
