Surviving R. Kelly!

The Lifetime documentary could trigger a state and federal investigation into R. Kelly.

The curtain is about to fall on the piped piper of R&B.

Lifetime's docu-series Surviving R. Kelly proved to be successful. Nearly 3 million people tuned in to the controversial documentary addressing Robert Sylvester Kelly.

Lifetime debuted the bombshell documentary series, "Surviving R. Kelly," in a special three-night-event to strong fanfare.

In the ground-breaking documentary series "Surviving R. Kelly," women are emerging from the shadows and uniting their voices to share their stories. Celebrated as one of the greatest R&B singers of all time, R. Kelly's genre defining career and playboy lifestyle has been riddled with rumors of abuse, predatory behavior, and pedophilia. Despite damning evidence and multiple witnesses, to date, none of these accusations have seemingly affected him. For the first time ever, survivors and people from R. Kelly's inner circle, are coming forward with new allegations about his sexual, mental, and physical abuse. They are now finally ready to share their full story and shed light on the secret life the public has never seen.

With over 50 interviews including civil rights activist Tarana Burke, musicians John Legend and Sparkle, talk-show host and former DJ Wendy Williams, ex-wife Andrea Kelly, ex-girlfriend Kitti Jones, brothers Carey and Bruce Kelly, and many others, the true story of R. Kelly's controversial past will be revealed beginning in 1970 through present day, shedding light on the R&B star whose history of alleged abuse of underage African American girls has, until recently, been largely ignored by mainstream media.

"Surviving R. Kelly" is executive produced by cultural critic, filmmaker and passionate activist Dream Hampton, Tamara Simmons, Joel Karlsberg and Jesse Daniels for Kreativ Inc. which has a production deal with Bunim/Murray Productions (BMP), and Brie Miranda Bryant from Lifetime. This program falls under Lifetime’s commitment to provide a platform to give women a voice where they have previously been unheard to bring awareness to the abuses and harassment of women.

Known for making hits, the 51 year old entertainer has face a backlash for allegedly enslaving women in his mansions.

Do you believe R. Kelly sexually abused women? (Expect trolls to pick the dumbest answers)

Yes. I believe he's been doing this for years. He has shielded himself as the "crown" of entertainment. Now it's time for the curtain to fall.

No. I believe that many of his accusers were willing to sleep with him. They are often upset that he's move on past them and now they seek to ruin a good man's reputation.

Yes. I believe the accusers. At first, I didn't want to believe the accusers. After watching "Surviving R. Kelly," I have to reconsider that my favorite musician is a rapist.

No. This is celebrity gossip.If you're so concerned with R. Kelly, why don't you focus on Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Donald Trump. They have accusations of sleeping with underage girls. No documentaries about them. I want real proof.

I have no comment on R. Kelly. I want to see how this play out before I pass judgement.

There's allegations that he forces women to perform sex acts on him. The women are forced to be locked in private rooms (packed with entertainment). These women are told when to leave and speak to their families or the junk food media.

The MeToo Movement and Time's Up movement have started a Mute R. Kelly protest.

The entertainer is often forced off concert tours and has his music slimmed down on many mainstream radio stations.

In one of the recording studios, a cup of urine and semen covered stains on the floor.

Many of his current and former associates are talking about his love for the young. Allegations stemming all the way back to the 1990s. R. Kelly had allegedly molested and raped teenage girls since his rise.

The rumored brief marriage to Aaliyah also became a topic of discussion.

The program has also a feature from the EGOT award winner John Legend. The entertainer said that he believes the accusers. Legend, who appears in the final installment of "Surviving R. Kelly" on Saturday, spoke out against R. Kelly's actions.

Members of R. Kelly's inner circle, his alleged victims and their family members were also featured on the program, but it was reportedly hard for Detroit author and filmmaker Dream Hampton to find any other musicians who would discuss the allegations on camera.
