Famous entertainers all make so much money that they hire someone else to manage it and 99% of the time that guy they hired skims millions from them because they have all of their financial information and the Star never notices it because they have no idea how much money they actually make or have.

Regrettable posted:Keep kicking those goal posts down the line. You balked at the idea that he's broke, then did some math to try to prove it but now you're talking about his social value to cover up the fact that you were wrong and he already lost/spent it all and is in massive amounts of debt. gahahahhahahaha he's a 1%er in terms of raw income no matter what way you slice it dude let me refer back to my original post: Coolguye posted:lmfao no you tripled down on this idea that oh no he's broke, you can't whine about me pointing out that r. kelly has been an institution unto himself for actual decades. idk what your point was of bringing it up in the first place but he's definitely going down in spite of being rich and famous, not because he stopped being those things.

We've all been wrong about R Kelly before. There's no shame in it. He's a mysterious man that evokes something primal in all of us. It's no excuse to quote yourself.

Lol, yes, the singer who is notoriously bad with money and had his royalties frozen is definitely collecting millions from ? The question was whether or not he's broke and the answer seems to be that he most likely is. I'm sorry you're so upset about this.

Does anyone remember how this story completely blew up when buzzfeed published an incredibly long and detailed article about R Kelly having a sex cult? https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jimderogatis/parents-told-police-r-kelly-is-keeping-women-in-a-cult#.ab33d0LDD

This news is really weird to me because I could have sworn I heard about this guy getting busted back in like the late 90s or early 2000s. People were straight up using "R Kelly" as a synonym for pedo. Is this one of those Berenstain Bears moments? Why is this happening again now?

Alright, I have some free time so I might as well pop back in to say that the argument that R Kelly is in his current situation despite being extremely wealthy seems predicated on R Kelly still being wealthy. This is not to say he wouldn't wield influence through his popularity or ties he may still have but that it would be diminished, potentially to a great degree. If he were sitting on several million dollars he would have greater means to influence people, including potentially his victims, whether through harassment and intimidation, attempts at monetary compensation, or likely both. He would have greater means to make their personal and professional lives more of a living hell than he already has, or maybe he could try to pay someone to lose some evidence, or try to agree to steep fines to receive a lighter sentence. And he would have greater means to influence the general public, including to keep giving him money so he can perpetuate his abuse. That it appears he is no longer wealthy means we are most likely seeing what's happening when he doesn't have most avenues available to him, or at least the degree to which they are available is lessened. I'm not saying that he would see zero repercussions if he were still sitting on massive stacks of cash but that he may not have to pay as dearly for what he's done. It's also not an attempt to downplay what his victims and the people who supported them have accomplished because it's still pretty incredible considering the popularity and influence he does have. And while it does feel nice to think that he was taken down in spite his wealth it also feels nice to think that his ability to target his victims has been lessened and his life will be much less comfortable from now on than it could have been, even in prison. IMO

The tv documentary called Surviving R Kelly is where it really picked up steam.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-40635526 So it looks like in 2004, right as it was all coming to a head, some brain genius judge not only dropped all charges against Kelly but even denied the request for a search warrant due to lack of sufficient evidence, despite literal photographic evidence of an underage rape taking place provided by one of the victims Very cool Devils Affricate fucked around with this message at 09:06 on Oct 4, 2021 |

Could be, or it could be half the world is filled with broke brain morons. Seriously, sit on a jury sometime, I'm surprised anyone gets convicted honestly.
