She speaking out against this cesspool dysfunction. I respect her. Much love a support to Sparkle. I really applaud what she trying to do and tried to do. 🥰🥰🥰
What I love most about Sparkle is that she is real and genuine. Her character, her resilience, her courage are soooo Chicago. I am from Chicago as well as my mom, my aunts, my grandmother. We all have an attitude and behavior that is similar to Sparkle.
Sparkle is incredible and so real. She didn’t care about the money or fame. Once she knew about her niece, she only cared about protecting her family and doing the right thing. Everyone needs an aunt like Sparkle!
Really? I wouldn't want an Aunt like that. Wyd would anybody want an Aunt that would KNOWINGLY introduce there 12 yr old niece with a alleged pervert or pedifile????👿 she said she didn't know😒 oh ok well WHY would you get so upset when you seen her there alone if you didn't know anything or even suspect anything? Girl boo. Shut your LYIN ass up Sparkle. SMDH👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿
I respect Sparkle she was a real one for what she did. I’m glad they asked about the niece because nobody really discusses her. I pray she gets the help she needs

Non-judgmental Fact: Sparkle was born in 1975. Sparkle first met/worked with R.Kelly/Aaliyah in 1992. Sparkle was then 17 year old. Aaliyah (born in 1979 ) was 14 year old.
@@reallifebarbie1 SO MANY WOMEN WHICH APPEAR TO BE " R.Pee Pee's DickRiders" Came at me so MAD and SO PISSED because I keep standing up for ALL THE WOMEN who got ABUSED ... DAMN ! THIS CRAP and Manipulator AIN'T CALL HIMSELF "THE PIED PIPER " For no reason !!
@@Maddpill Work on the album began somewhere in 92.The album was released in May 94. If the b-day for Sparkle online is correct,she was a minor while she worked on Aaliyah's Album. That has nothing to do with the truth she speaks.
I think we all have an understanding that the niece is still dealing with him but if you listen to all of her accounts which ever made the same her family basically shunned her for our Kelly the mother and the father of this little girl when all of this broke so as an auntie when all of this came out what was she supposed to do when the mother and the father is allowing the situation to take place
This interview just showed up on my TH-cam feed. It hurts because I know how it feels to not be believed. I’m a mother from Chicago who has been trying to get help since 2019 (the past 5 years) regarding my missing daughter Mia who I have come to find was recruited by people that were in his inner circle. I’m a hurting mom. #WheresMia #Chicagomissing #UIC
I have said before that I have the highest respect for Sparkle. She did the right thing. She cared! Too bad many people around this girl (like her parents) didn't give a damn. Please, Sparkle, don't second guess yourself on your involvement. You had courage and a conscience in helping your niece. Everything will open up and prosper for you! God got you, girl. I'll keep you in prayer! Stay focused because the very best is yet to come. Peace.
There’s an interesting video that does an analysis in my playlists called "unreveling R Kelly is he brain damaged?" makes a lot of sense. Goes into depth about a potential condition.
I commend and admire you as well as all of the ladies for coming forward....It took tremendous strength and courage especially after years of being ignored.... The burning question in my mind is do you know where your niece is today? As a mother I can't even begin to Fathom the parents not stepping forward and Prosecuting Robert Kelly to the fullest extent of the law... Not only did they sacrifice their own child but they sacrificed other young girls as well.... It's just absolutely heart-wrenching...My heart goes out to the surviving victims - it bleeds for the young girls that he still has that God only knows what he's doing to them... I do feel deep within my soul that this will be the time that Robert Kelly as well as some of these family members will be brought down and finally brought to Justice....Dead or Alive.... Blessings Sparkle... Keep your voice alive and coming..
Why are so many people worried about who Sparkle slept with? Who cares about that? How does that overlook the fact that Robert slept with her 14 year old niece? That is the topic at hand. She’s stayed consistent with her story since day 1. Who cares about her ex hubby and if she slept with Robert. No one knows any of that but her. And even if she did, what justice would that do for her niece and the other victims?
@@tatucorreia I would of kicked my sisters (if it was her daughter) ass for allowing it....or my brother, I would of hit him with something. That's if our mother doesn't get a hold of her first..... And I'm not exaggerating.
She's said that her niece was a good rapper at 14...but at 14, I wouldn't have had her introduced to him still. Family present or not. I understand spreading the love..but baby niece wouldve been instructed to wait till Sparkle got alil more under her belt..then as niece worked on her craft and Sparkle gained more weight (ELSE WHERE) then Id take you with me..UNDER MY WINGS WITH MY EYES WITH MY CONNECTS. Not trusting others with MY NIECE!
She was born in 1975 and met Kells in 1989...so she was 13-14...1992 she was 17 🧐 I wonder why she doesn't give details about how old she was when she met R. Kelly.
THAT PART....Crazy how SPARKLE NEVER MENTIONS HERE MARRIAGE TO EARL AND HIS LEAVING THE GROUP BEING CONNECTED TO SEEING RKELLY fuking kid ass Aaliyah...👀☕side eye and sippin slow
@@Mrsgreene82 She stated she never saw RK and Aaliyah do anything inappropriate.Where did you get that from? Her marriage to Earl has nothing to do with her niece and RK so why spend an hour talking about her failed marriage?
Because it doesn't matter. She did in fact say in another interview when she meat him that she was much younger than 16 when they met and she met him through a female friend. But she never got to sing for him that day. She sang for him the second time she met at age 17.
I am a firm believer of what is done in the dark shall ALWAYS come to the light. I know in the 90’s I seen R Kelly at the UIC pavilion in Chicago and I never forgot it. I was only like 11 or 12.. all of my family far as my aunts, cousins, brother and his girlfriend went to the concert. It was Xscape,Salt abs pepper and R Kelly. I remember his performance because he had a bed on stage and he was acting as if he was having sex on stage. I didn’t truly understand why but as a parent now. I realize certain artist kids SHOULD not be aloud to listen to or see. I am grateful for Sparkle staying true to herself
Oh my Nica B, that crazy so I live in London and went to see him in 2000 / 01 and he did the same thing in his London show and my too was like really, did I need to see that and I was look 16/17 at the time. Like you I've never forgot that show also, especially that part.
I need someone to hurry up and ask Sparkle if she was married to Earl from Public Announcement when she met Robert Kelly...I’ve always admired and commended Sparkle for being the first person brave enough to go after him but I reeeeeally need to know why she won’t acknowledge her marriage to Earl 🤔
On a serious note, she's right. Everybody got a friend or family member that's an R Kelly which is extremely disturbing that so many feel like if you keep your child away from that person it will be okay.. That doesn't save the next child...
I believe everything Sparkle says except when she lies by omission: R. Kelly former band member says Sparkle left her husband and moved into the studio and was sleeping with R. Kelly. He also says that R. Kelly sleeps with ALL of the artists he grooms and produces. That sounds about right to me. He also said Drea was sleeping with R. Kelly, along with other dancers, on the tour bus; then he said R. Kelly chose Drea and then he only slept with her from then on. However, she omits that part in HER story. They need to tell the whole truth or sit down and shut up, because then people think they are lying about everything, which I know they are not. I respect Sparkle, she did right by her family, and she didn't take the pay off. She is a woman of great character.
Exactly. She has absolutely not reason to lie. Nothing to lose. Her family already turned their back on her just for defending her neice. So I say fuck them. She should continue to speak up just to piss them off.
I wonder if Toni Braxton saw some ish when they worked together? You mean the world to me is one of my favorites by her......ooohhh I'm bout to watch the video now. :)
No she does not. She even said in the interview that them taking down his music means taking down some of her music that she sang and also the ones SHE wrote for him. And she is like "so be it", if that is what they have to do to mute him that that is what it is. She is making more music now so it doesn't matter.
I feel everything that has happened leading up to the new LIETIME docuseries and Dateline...BBC interviews just highlights that as members of the black community, we need to do better. We don’t look out for one another. We don’t protect our OWN children. All the greed and money and hope for a “career” in music became more important than other’s lives. If I saw Drea Kelly was experiencing DV, I would work to help her. If my niece was being sexually assaulted, I would help her. Find a way not a excuse.
If yall looking for the extra tea check out TH-camr Nique at Nite. Apparently, Sparkle was married to one of the guys in Public Announcement during this time. When she started working with R Kelly she never went back home.. Oh yeah her niece is allegedly still one of his girls..
She has always been making sense. Her story hasn't changed for the last 20 years. You should have listen to the first time she said the same shit 20 years ago in that court room
I believe her completely. However I still feel like they're ulterior motives somewhere. This could be all about someone behind the scenes trying to take his music from him. All these big record companies been knew about these allegations when they allowed him to to record and write for these huge artists.
her marriage to RKELLY'S group member ended because he caught her cheating on him with RKELLY. She had a full blown 3 year affair before getting caught. Her niece is still with him now..... Why isn't anybody asking about that?
WHY has she not disclosed that she was Married to a member of Public Announcement at that time and SHE LEFT Him For RKelly. We think Sparkle was mad at the fact that RKelly was with her and her niece. Do more research guys. Folks need to tell the ENTIRE TRUTH. We do not condone any of RKelly's alleged actions.
He was 100% wrong. We know it, he knows it. However, in America we can not legally go against the courts ruling when he was found not guilty, so we have to move past that in our minds, but it's difficult to do because it was a visual. He's guilty in the public only, but here's what stumps me...the majority of 'us' viewers were not even thinking about the pee tape until the Surviving R. Kelly aired. We were still listening to his music on the radio, stepping in the name of love and all, so because we have been reminded of his 'evil' ways we wanna say, 'Oh, that's right I remember R. Kelly peed on a girl and did other other things that's mind boggling, so lets stop playing his music....better yet lets bring him down because we can reach masses through social media. I just don't get Why Now? Why Go Back? Why Rehash? It's too late. And, I can't believe how the women want to relive this ordeal. It's ludacris.
But the circumstances behind him being found not guilty where because people got on the standing light and when I say people I mean the parents and I don't know if you've ever been through any assault as a child and then becoming an adult and looking back and realizing that you had no adults at that time to fight for you you don't just move on because he was found not guilty that doesn't mean he's innocent because there were interviews with the jurors and they made it very clear the only reason that they could not convicted him because they felt it was him on the tape they felt he was guilty but they could not confirm the age of the young lady in the tape that is the only reason why he was found not guilty and sometimes bringing something up means you deal with it because when you leave it buried in this ugly nasty place it doesn't go away and it's easy for us looking on and say what they just need to let it go we don't know what type of mental anguish some of these young ladies have dealt with and once again I say this and not knowing if you've ever been abused but those things don't just go away and those young girls at the time of being underage and should have been protected by adults should have had somebody speaking for them protecting them so they have every right now so whatever type of Justice they can get yes they have that right in the black community has played a huge part in this disgusting Behavior the industry all of the parents all of the managers producers promoters all of these people that knew these things and never spoke on it
He had alot to protect and he had an army....i wish everyone would stop judging these girls.... it wasnt like this happened with horns blowing and some dramatic music and the light from above shined down on the parents permission slips and they had 5 seconds to decide if they wanted to be a star.... this was methodical narcissistic abuse.... these girls didn't realize what they were getting into!
@@MrsKeepItReal4life Age Aint Nothing But a Number is also the name of Aaliyah's first album. She said she didn't know about the song, but if you look up the album, Sparkle is credited as a vocalist.
@@MrsKeepItReal4life @toomuch4em is referring to the album itself which is titled "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number." Sparkle knew nothing about that particular song at the time, but did sing background vocals on the album.
Question..Is there Anything happening Now about the documentary that's happening that you wish wasn't happening that you wish would just stop? Noooo Mmm Yeah.. Com on Now you can't be straddle the fence like that😕
What the hell is your dumbass talking about. That girl wasn't her neice. That girl was some other chick r Kelly was holding captive. Her neice or her sister wasnt in the doc series at all.
Okay I want to know her age then and her age now. Because she has changed that part. She said she was 19 at the time but it was mentioned that she was currently 43 now - which means she was 13 14 at the time. So how old she now????? I am so confused! This is just a whole ghetto mess.
check on youtube she has done about 5 interviews in the past week! im telling yall she is riding the gravy train she is down to earth but all of this is a set up for her new album...im tired of them if the nigga abused yall get healing and keep it private interviews is not going to heal emotional wounds...these women are in it for money im telling yall!
Everyone who knew need to go to jail. When ask on every interview “Andrea Kelly, R. Kelly's ex -wife, do you see or noticed anything she repeatedly stated I was his employee I was there to do a job. Now no matter where you work in life if something is going on you will notice and eventually you will see the shits that’s going down. Andrea Kelly, R. Kelly's ex -wife was being well paid and did a Bird Box and she did that for a long time. And when she no long can handle that Man she desperately wanted and got the nightmare she was not expecting she left so now if she say yes I noticed, I knew she will go down if jail time is to come. That man money brainwashed them not the Man... sparkle is full of BS if the right price is given we will no longer hear from her ass about him anymore. She said what else can she have done ✅ I said a lot mor more lady a lot more. She stopped because she was feeling the hurt that they had put on her career... now to all the females who have really been hurt by him our prayers are with you all let us work on healing.....
I dont listen to shit andrea says. She was so far up Kelly's ass she only tells use what she WANTS us to hear. I feel like he did much worst to her that she revealed. Her ass is muted to as she wants to come clean after all this time. The only one I'm listening to is sparkle and the victims as sparkles sotry has been consistent for 20 years back when no one had her back.
Sparkle has holes 🤥in her story why hasn’t anyone bought up the FACT that SPARKLE was 14 years old when SHE met R. Kelly 😵in the studio with Billy Ocean (1989), she was supposed to sing that night -but she didn’t 🤭so what did she do🤔her and her friend?? 😯fast forward to 1992 when she is only 17 years old she meets up with R. Kelly again This time she sings --does anyone else see something wrong with this🙄??????🤔🤔🤔🤔 That’s why when she was asked how old she was, she acted like she could not remember, did anyone else catch this besides me ????🤯 SPARKLE WAS BORN MAY 13, 1975 💩😳🤔
R Kelly regretted not getting her the first time by the second time she already had a boyfriend and was not willing to give him up for no record deal. A strong woman despite being 16 to 17 at the time.
@@sharonmckenzie6807 Exactly. If I was a 40 something year old woman and someone as me how old I was a certain year, I wouldn't fucking remember either. I'm 26 years old and if someone asked me how old I was 2004 hell I'm going to a few seconds to calculate my exact age. But I can do like sparkle did and give you ans estimate. She did say she was much younger than 16 in an interview. I can tell you I was about middle school age but dont ask me my exact date. I dont freakin know of the top of my head. People think someone is going to sit there and do the calculation in their head. Nope. If they know they year she was born, which we all do, they wouldnt need to ask; they can do the math.
Baby girl if you were meeting the average Joe then you probably wouldn’t remember how old you were (you could just not want to Disclose your real age) or your probably lying!....but the fact of the matter is when you meet someone famous (Like R. Kelly or anybody on superstardom status) and you’re in the studio with someone else famous like Billy Ocean I am pretty damn sure you Would remember how old you were and there is a difference between 14 years old and 17 years old...Being so young and being in the presence of superstardom people of that statue would be a mile stone for anybody that would be 14 years old and has been singing their heart out since before then... Who in the hell wouldn’t remember that!If you have any accomplishments at such a young age I’m pretty sure you would remember them and how old you were when you accomplished them... And the opportunity to come on the show was to speak facts and tell her TRUE story... After all the lies in the documentary and from different individuals we don’t need ballpark figures we want FACTS!!!!!
That female dog cheated on her husband and stayed with another man While Married I don’t give a damn what she did when she was 17...strong? And you idolize this?.....she acted as a grown whore! For that record deal.
I've seen every interview and not once was she ever inconsistent. You're full of shit. You just don't WANT to beleive her. That perverted man was caught red handed. Get over it.
I don't believe sparkle , she had to have known something if not about her niece she had to know R Kelly had a lot of women. Sparkle is trying to protect sparkle she may never tell her true truth because she was used by R Kelly herself. And I bet her and R Kelly's wife are not cool .
She speaking out against this cesspool dysfunction. I respect her. Much love a support to Sparkle. I really applaud what she trying to do and tried to do. 🥰🥰🥰

Non-judgmental Fact: Sparkle was born in 1975. Sparkle first met/worked with R.Kelly/Aaliyah in 1992. Sparkle was then 17 year old. Aaliyah (born in 1979 ) was 14 year old.
Awesome Sparkle! It was a calling nothing you could do other than be the ONE to call it!! Thank YOU!!!!
Sparkle was treated unfairly point blank period and I loooooooove Kendra G she is the bizness
Word for word Sparkles story never changes and she owns up to her part 🙌🏽
God bless you Sparkle. Her niece still be around kellz🤦🏾♀️
@FLAWLESS : Like I always say SPARKLE is my definition of REAL and HUMBLE WOMAN . I Believed in her since day one !
KENNY PHOUN she fighting and speaking out for her niece 🙌🏾💖
Flawless By Lola right her niece is brainwashed it’s sad
@@reallifebarbie1 SO MANY WOMEN WHICH APPEAR TO BE " R.Pee Pee's DickRiders" Came at me so MAD and SO PISSED because I keep standing up for ALL THE WOMEN who got ABUSED ... DAMN ! THIS CRAP and Manipulator AIN'T CALL HIMSELF "THE PIED PIPER " For no reason !!
Her story been the same for bout 20 years
Wow. I was a teen when I found out about the r Kelly thing but I didnt look much into it.
Y’all don’t understand Sparkle was 14 when she met him in 89 she recorded Aaliyah album at 16 she recorded her debut album at 23
Well if she sung at 16 for Aaliyah. Then she was of age.
Cortez Miller
No, she was not. It’s 18.
14- 1989 Aaliyah came out 94/95 that’s 6-7 years bra 🤦🏿♂️
@@Maddpill Work on the album began somewhere in 92.The album was released in May 94. If the b-day for Sparkle online is correct,she was a minor while she worked on Aaliyah's Album. That has nothing to do with the truth she speaks.
Sparkle is beautiful
@SheaFLG Yep indeed, SHE IS
I know. I want a chick like her. They only get better with age.
This lady is telling the truth!!!
My mind is still blown how that 14 year old girl was not protected. I still can't get over it.
I love and respect Sparkle she’s a beautiful woman inside and out much ❤️and prayers 🙏
CC Orleans SERIOUSLY wow she fed her niece to RK
@CC Orleans : SO DO I
The song is Dope!!
Why haven’t anybody ask her about the niece still being with him!???
Yes talk about something New like is she With him Still or Not ??
denise wilson the answer is clear . If you watched the documentary
denise wilson Allegedly she trains all the girls
I dont think she wants to put her niece on blast any more than what she has.
I think we all have an understanding that the niece is still dealing with him but if you listen to all of her accounts which ever made the same her family basically shunned her for our Kelly the mother and the father of this little girl when all of this broke so as an auntie when all of this came out what was she supposed to do when the mother and the father is allowing the situation to take place
This interview just showed up on my TH-cam feed. It hurts because I know how it feels to not be believed. I’m a mother from Chicago who has been trying to get help since 2019 (the past 5 years) regarding my missing daughter Mia who I have come to find was recruited by people that were in his inner circle. I’m a hurting mom.

Oh snap. Will check this out. I haven't heard from her in a long minute.
I have said before that I have the highest respect for Sparkle. She did the right thing. She cared! Too bad many people around this girl (like her parents) didn't give a damn. Please, Sparkle, don't second guess yourself on your involvement. You had courage and a conscience in helping your niece. Everything will open up and prosper for you! God got you, girl. I'll keep you in prayer! Stay focused because the very best is yet to come. Peace.
There’s an interesting video that does an analysis in my playlists called "unreveling R Kelly is he brain damaged?" makes a lot of sense. Goes into depth about a potential condition.
I commend and admire you as well as all of the ladies for coming forward....It took tremendous strength and courage especially after years of being ignored.... The burning question in my mind is do you know where your niece is today? As a mother I can't even begin to Fathom the parents not stepping forward and Prosecuting Robert Kelly to the fullest extent of the law... Not only did they sacrifice their own child but they sacrificed other young girls as well.... It's just absolutely heart-wrenching...My heart goes out to the surviving victims - it bleeds for the young girls that he still has that God only knows what he's doing to them... I do feel deep within my soul that this will be the time that Robert Kelly as well as some of these family members will be brought down and finally brought to Justice....Dead or Alive.... Blessings Sparkle... Keep your voice alive and coming..
The point that she makes at the 25:07 mark, though....*sips tea*
Great interview.
Her Story Never Change She Say the Same Story on Every Interview
Why are so many people worried about who Sparkle slept with? Who cares about that? How does that overlook the fact that Robert slept with her 14 year old niece? That is the topic at hand. She’s stayed consistent with her story since day 1. Who cares about her ex hubby and if she slept with Robert. No one knows any of that but her. And even if she did, what justice would that do for her niece and the other victims?
If that was my niece. I've would of been a helicopter aunt or watching her like a hawk. I would of never left her alone.
Yes but if the parents are involved giving Rob's permission and against you, aside than warning them and call CPS not much you can do...
@@tatucorreia
I would of kicked my sisters (if it was her daughter) ass for allowing it....or my brother, I would of hit him with something. That's if our mother doesn't get a hold of her first..... And I'm not exaggerating.
She did not, she called and about an hour or so later the brother n law came. She never left her
She had parents tho
She's said that her niece was a good rapper at 14...but at 14, I wouldn't have had her introduced to him still. Family present or not. I understand spreading the love..but baby niece wouldve been instructed to wait till Sparkle got alil more under her belt..then as niece worked on her craft and Sparkle gained more weight (ELSE WHERE) then Id take you with me..UNDER MY WINGS WITH MY EYES WITH MY CONNECTS. Not trusting others with MY NIECE!
Sparkle Much Respect!! #MeToo
Sparkle , God has your back , you’re a strong , courageous woman. “Light shall shine out of darkness”
Someone please tell me how is it these ladies cry on some show, and not on other laughing and joking about it?
Sparkle 💖
She was born in 1975 and met Kells in 1989...so she was 13-14...1992 she was 17 🧐 I wonder why she doesn't give details about how old she was when she met R. Kelly.
THAT PART....Crazy how SPARKLE NEVER MENTIONS HERE MARRIAGE TO EARL AND HIS LEAVING THE GROUP BEING CONNECTED TO SEEING RKELLY fuking kid ass Aaliyah...👀☕side eye and sippin slow
@@Mrsgreene82 She stated she never saw RK and Aaliyah do anything inappropriate.Where did you get that from?
Her marriage to Earl has nothing to do with her niece and RK so why spend an hour talking about her failed marriage?
Because it doesn't matter. She did in fact say in another interview when she meat him that she was much younger than 16 when they met and she met him through a female friend. But she never got to sing for him that day. She sang for him the second time she met at age 17.
@@niterida380 Exaxtly. Where the fuck are the getting their information from?
I am a firm believer of what is done in the dark shall ALWAYS come to the light. I know in the 90’s I seen R Kelly at the UIC pavilion in Chicago and I never forgot it. I was only like 11 or 12.. all of my family far as my aunts, cousins, brother and his girlfriend went to the concert. It was Xscape,Salt abs pepper and R Kelly. I remember his performance because he had a bed on stage and he was acting as if he was having sex on stage. I didn’t truly understand why but as a parent now. I realize certain artist kids SHOULD not be aloud to listen to or see. I am grateful for Sparkle staying true to herself
Oh my Nica B, that crazy so I live in London and went to see him in 2000 / 01 and he did the same thing in his London show and my too was like really, did I need to see that and I was look 16/17 at the time. Like you I've never forgot that show also, especially that part.
How you remember specific years, but not your age?🤨
LOL!! I'll help her out...she was about 16 in 92.
She also remember how things took place 😅😅 but ok I'm just here to hear her out 😕
B1g Dev.77 she was 14
SantinaJohnson1
Sparkle is 50 years old. In 1992 she was 24 years old.
You never forget traumatic events.
Can yall speak on that juror from the show who said he didn't believe the witnesses because of how they dressed?
Yeah that was b.s.!
@@jannysmart8011 nobody is bringing up that juror. He said that shit like he a sexual predator himself.
Yes OMG!!
There is speculation that Sparkle’s niece is still with him, is this true anyone?
I need someone to hurry up and ask Sparkle if she was married to Earl from Public Announcement when she met Robert Kelly...I’ve always admired and commended Sparkle for being the first person brave enough to go after him but I reeeeeally need to know why she won’t acknowledge her marriage to Earl 🤔
I Respect mrs Sparkle.
On a serious note, she's right. Everybody got a friend or family member that's an R Kelly which is extremely disturbing that so many feel like if you keep your child away from that person it will be okay.. That doesn't save the next child...
Every time she does an interview she leaves off the fact that she was sleeping with R. Kelly her own husband stated this
dionne Jones yes and her her husband (x) is super reliable.
What does that have to do with him sleeping with her 14 year old niece?
@Kessa r she said she was never in a relationship with him she didn't say she didn't sleep with him did you hear the interview
@@helloworld-zr6un Exactly
@Mike Carter lol
I definitely support Sparkle
I believe everything Sparkle says except when she lies by omission: R. Kelly former band member says Sparkle left her husband and moved into the studio and was sleeping with R. Kelly. He also says that R. Kelly sleeps with ALL of the artists he grooms and produces. That sounds about right to me. He also said Drea was sleeping with R. Kelly, along with other dancers, on the tour bus; then he said R. Kelly chose Drea and then he only slept with her from then on. However, she omits that part in HER story. They need to tell the whole truth or sit down and shut up, because then people think they are lying about everything, which I know they are not. I respect Sparkle, she did right by her family, and she didn't take the pay off. She is a woman of great character.
Sparkle AINT Lying
Exactly. She has absolutely not reason to lie. Nothing to lose. Her family already turned their back on her just for defending her neice. So I say fuck them. She should continue to speak up just to piss them off.
Does the husband know for sure, that sparkle and R. Kelly was sleeping around? He could’ve just been an insecure man.
He was insecure. Probally why she divorced his insecure ass.
Sparkle i admire you
I wonder if Toni Braxton saw some ish when they worked together? You mean the world to me is one of my favorites by her......ooohhh I'm bout to watch the video now. :)
I still listen to SPARKLE she has a beautiful voice. She is a strong black woman for the things she's been through. Hands down for her🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Also does sparkle still perform the music he wrote for her?
No she does not. She even said in the interview that them taking down his music means taking down some of her music that she sang and also the ones SHE wrote for him. And she is like "so be it", if that is what they have to do to mute him that that is what it is. She is making more music now so it doesn't matter.
Sparkle 💖I believe her they parent's is at fault
Only on one speaker
I feel everything that has happened leading up to the new LIETIME docuseries and Dateline...BBC interviews just highlights that as members of the black community, we need to do better. We don’t look out for one another. We don’t protect our OWN children. All the greed and money and hope for a “career” in music became more important than other’s lives. If I saw Drea Kelly was experiencing DV, I would work to help her. If my niece was being sexually assaulted, I would help her. Find a way not a excuse.
That’s what’s up Braxton sisters 👯
Aaliyah's mother and sparkle were FUCKING R KELLY TOO!
What organizations are "some" of the proceeds going to? Why aren't you shouting them out by name?🤔
If yall looking for the extra tea check out TH-camr Nique at Nite. Apparently, Sparkle was married to one of the guys in Public Announcement during this time. When she started working with R Kelly she never went back home.. Oh yeah her niece is allegedly still one of his girls..
Damn Sparkle
The paths that were crossed, smh. The comings and goings surrounding the very places where these awful deeds were done.
His old manager says that Sparkle had a fling with Kelly but won’t speak on it smh🤷🏽♀️
That information is irrelevant so why would she bring it up?
Sparkle look like Diane Ross
No. Donna Summers.
Now she's making sense in this video
She has always been making sense. Her story hasn't changed for the last 20 years. You should have listen to the first time she said the same shit 20 years ago in that court room
She was like the Joan of Arc in this crusade of truth against evil
Has it been said if Sparkles brother is her niece's father or if the niece's mother is Sparkle's sister? Did I miss that? Sorry.
I belive you
Sparkle looks like she smokes sparkles.
I believe her completely. However I still feel like they're ulterior motives somewhere. This could be all about someone behind the scenes trying to take his music from him. All these big record companies been knew about these allegations when they allowed him to to record and write for these huge artists.
her marriage to RKELLY'S group member ended because he caught her cheating on him with RKELLY. She had a full blown 3 year affair before getting caught. Her niece is still with him now..... Why isn't anybody asking about that?
LIES!
There's no need to be negative and start name calling anyone. Keep it cute and moving.
@@gloriaortuno5784 Agreed sister Gloria...moving on.
What was interesting about that stories that you still didn't leave you set there you could have left interesting
I think she is classy.
Preach sparkle your telling it like it is!
Sparkle real a F!!!!! She don't care lol
WHY has she not disclosed that she was Married to a member of Public Announcement at that time and SHE LEFT Him For RKelly. We think Sparkle was mad at the fact that RKelly was with her and her niece. Do more research guys. Folks need to tell the ENTIRE TRUTH. We do not condone any of RKelly's alleged actions.
no sound
I'm just like 😒🤔👀🤓😟🤐. I believe half 60% of what she said at face value. The rest 🤷🏾♀️🤒
jc2007rose “Half 60%”? The fuck kind of math is that? 😂
One day that young lady is going to say something she just not ready though but r Kelly his day will come God don't play about his children
When is she going to admit to sleeping with Kells also?
THE NEICE IS STILL IN THERE. SHE IS A MADAME NOW THE TRAINER (GO TO GIRL) !!!
Sweet Tee do you know the niece name?
@@Followyourdreams2012 Reshonna Landfair
The volume on this video sucks! Beside that I believe sparkle 100%!
Vera Logan I turned my phone side ways to enlarge the video, and the volume got louder if that helps.
Kendra obviously still supports R. Kelly.
He was 100% wrong. We know it, he knows it. However, in America we can not legally go against the courts ruling when he was found not guilty, so we have to move past that in our minds, but it's difficult to do because it was a visual. He's guilty in the public only, but here's what stumps me...the majority of 'us' viewers were not even thinking about the pee tape until the Surviving R. Kelly aired. We were still listening to his music on the radio, stepping in the name of love and all, so because we have been reminded of his 'evil' ways we wanna say, 'Oh, that's right I remember R. Kelly peed on a girl and did other other things that's mind boggling, so lets stop playing his music....better yet lets bring him down because we can reach masses through social media. I just don't get Why Now? Why Go Back? Why Rehash? It's too late. And, I can't believe how the women want to relive this ordeal. It's ludacris.
But the circumstances behind him being found not guilty where because people got on the standing light and when I say people I mean the parents and I don't know if you've ever been through any assault as a child and then becoming an adult and looking back and realizing that you had no adults at that time to fight for you you don't just move on because he was found not guilty that doesn't mean he's innocent because there were interviews with the jurors and they made it very clear the only reason that they could not convicted him because they felt it was him on the tape they felt he was guilty but they could not confirm the age of the young lady in the tape that is the only reason why he was found not guilty and sometimes bringing something up means you deal with it because when you leave it buried in this ugly nasty place it doesn't go away and it's easy for us looking on and say what they just need to let it go we don't know what type of mental anguish some of these young ladies have dealt with and once again I say this and not knowing if you've ever been abused but those things don't just go away and those young girls at the time of being underage and should have been protected by adults should have had somebody speaking for them protecting them so they have every right now so whatever type of Justice they can get yes they have that right in the black community has played a huge part in this disgusting Behavior the industry all of the parents all of the managers producers promoters all of these people that knew these things and never spoke on it
He had alot to protect and he had an army....i wish everyone would stop judging these girls.... it wasnt like this happened with horns blowing and some dramatic music and the light from above shined down on the parents permission slips and they had 5 seconds to decide if they wanted to be a star.... this was methodical narcissistic abuse.... these girls didn't realize what they were getting into!
He got them young to exert power and idc if they all make millions off of this..... how much is someone's life worth?
But Did Life time give Y'all a check see you missed\ left that Answer Out 😕👀👀👀
This world crazy, sparkle testified saying that’s her niece on that tape. Wwwwhhhhyyy are u all made at her
FYI Stephanie Edwards AKA Sparkle was 14-15 When SHE met Kelly back in 89'
18- 19 when She did Background vocals on Age ain't Nothing but a Number....
She said she didn't know anything about Age ain't nothing but a number In this Interview....
@@MrsKeepItReal4life Age Aint Nothing But a Number is also the name of Aaliyah's first album. She said she didn't know about the song, but if you look up the album, Sparkle is credited as a vocalist.
@@toomuch4em I know That but if you pay attention sparkle said She didn't know Anything about that Song
Well this is why she said she didn’t respond to his advances. Knowing she was 15 that year when she said he liked her
@@MrsKeepItReal4life @toomuch4em is referring to the album itself which is titled "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number." Sparkle knew nothing about that particular song at the time, but did sing background vocals on the album.
Question..Is there Anything happening Now about the documentary that's happening that you wish wasn't happening that you wish would just stop? Noooo Mmm Yeah.. Com on Now you can't be straddle the fence like that😕
That's the same girl that was seen on TV leaving with her mom. She returned. He didn't force them to be there.
What the hell is your dumbass talking about. That girl wasn't her neice. That girl was some other chick r Kelly was holding captive. Her neice or her sister wasnt in the doc series at all.
Okay I want to know her age then and her age now. Because she has changed that part. She said she was 19 at the time but it was mentioned that she was currently 43 now - which means she was 13 14 at the time. So how old she now????? I am so confused! This is just a whole ghetto mess.
check on youtube she has done about 5 interviews in the past week! im telling yall she is riding the gravy train she is down to earth but all of this is a set up for her new album...im tired of them if the nigga abused yall get healing and keep it private interviews is not going to heal emotional wounds...these women are in it for money im telling yall!
Everyone who knew need to go to jail. When ask on every interview “Andrea Kelly, R. Kelly's ex -wife, do you see or noticed anything she repeatedly stated I was his employee I was there to do a job. Now no matter where you work in life if something is going on you will notice and eventually you will see the shits that’s going down. Andrea Kelly, R. Kelly's ex -wife was being well paid and did a Bird Box and she did that for a long time. And when she no long can handle that Man she desperately wanted and got the nightmare she was not expecting she left so now if she say yes I noticed, I knew she will go down if jail time is to come. That man money brainwashed them not the Man... sparkle is full of BS if the right price is given we will no longer hear from her ass about him anymore. She said what else can she have done ✅ I said a lot mor more lady a lot more. She stopped because she was feeling the hurt that they had put on her career... now to all the females who have really been hurt by him our prayers are with you all let us work on healing.....
I dont listen to shit andrea says. She was so far up Kelly's ass she only tells use what she WANTS us to hear. I feel like he did much worst to her that she revealed. Her ass is muted to as she wants to come clean after all this time. The only one I'm listening to is sparkle and the victims as sparkles sotry has been consistent for 20 years back when no one had her back.
Sparkle has holes 🤥in her story why hasn’t anyone bought up the FACT that SPARKLE was 14 years old when SHE met R. Kelly 😵in the studio with Billy Ocean (1989), she was supposed to sing that night -but she didn’t 🤭so what did she do🤔her and her friend?? 😯fast forward to 1992 when she is only 17 years old she meets up with R. Kelly again This time she sings --does anyone else see something wrong with this🙄??????🤔🤔🤔🤔
That’s why when she was asked how old she was, she acted like she could not remember, did anyone else catch this besides me ????🤯
SPARKLE WAS BORN MAY 13, 1975 💩😳🤔
R Kelly regretted not getting her the first time by the second time she already had a boyfriend and was not willing to give him up for no record deal. A strong woman despite being 16 to 17 at the time.
@@sharonmckenzie6807 Exactly. If I was a 40 something year old woman and someone as me how old I was a certain year, I wouldn't fucking remember either. I'm 26 years old and if someone asked me how old I was 2004 hell I'm going to a few seconds to calculate my exact age. But I can do like sparkle did and give you ans estimate. She did say she was much younger than 16 in an interview. I can tell you I was about middle school age but dont ask me my exact date. I dont freakin know of the top of my head. People think someone is going to sit there and do the calculation in their head. Nope. If they know they year she was born, which we all do, they wouldnt need to ask; they can do the math.
Baby girl if you were meeting the average Joe then you probably wouldn’t remember how old you were (you could just not want to Disclose your real age) or your probably lying!....but the fact of the matter is when you meet someone famous (Like R. Kelly or anybody on superstardom status) and you’re in the studio with someone else famous like Billy Ocean I am pretty damn sure you Would remember how old you were and there is a difference between 14 years old and 17 years old...Being so young and being in the presence of superstardom people of that statue would be a mile stone for anybody that would be 14 years old and has been singing their heart out since before then... Who in the hell wouldn’t remember that!If you have any accomplishments at such a young age I’m pretty sure you would remember them and how old you were when you accomplished them... And the opportunity to come on the show was to speak facts and tell her TRUE story... After all the lies in the documentary and from different individuals we don’t need ballpark figures we want FACTS!!!!!
That female dog cheated on her husband and stayed with another man While Married I don’t give a damn what she did when she was 17...strong? And you idolize this?.....she acted as a grown whore! For that record deal.
Go back and listen to every interview you will hear the inconsistencies.she told on herself.
I've seen every interview and not once was she ever inconsistent. You're full of shit. You just don't WANT to beleive her. That perverted man was caught red handed. Get over it.
I don't believe sparkle , she had to have known something if not about her niece she had to know R Kelly had a lot of women. Sparkle is trying to protect sparkle she may never tell her true truth because she was used by R Kelly herself. And I bet her and R Kelly's wife are not cool .
