Kelly’s mental state.

    Jennifer Bonjean, Kelly’s representative, argued with the jury that the decision should not be based on “inflamed emotions”, but instead the nature of the charges. She also advocated that Kelly was sexually abused as a child and lived in an unstable environment. During trial, six women testified about their experiences with the convict.

    To Sum it Up a Little

    It is unfortunate to see African American men in positions like this, in a system already in place to destroy them. For Black women, this is a slippery slope. Imagine being a fan for years to find your favorite artist is a predator? In matters like this, Black women are split between supporting and admonishing a Black man. For women who choose to continue appreciating his talent still may be subject to social scrutiny. For those who admonish Kelly, will lose respect for such great talent.

    Above all, HypeFresh is happy that the law is listening to Black women. Stay tuned for updates on R. Kelly’s mental state.
