Ok everyone hold the gently caress up, let's first hear what Bill Cosby has to say on this matter before wait how am I not making this up


https://www.bet.com/celebrities/news/2021/09/29/bill-cosby-r-kelly-verdict-comments-railroaded.html

quote:

Sometimes silence is indeed golden. In a Sept. 28 interview with the New York Post, a spokesperson for Bill Cosby said the comedian feels that the now convicted R. Kelly was “railroaded” in his recent sex trafficking trial.

According to Cosby’s representative Andrew Wyatt, the 84-year-old believes that Kelly “was screwed” and “wasn’t going to catch a break” in his federal trial that ended Sept. 27. A Brooklyn jury found the singer guilty on all nine counts of racketeering and sex trafficking.

In 2018 he said he released a song because he couldn't make rent, was evicted from two properties in Atlanta because he couldn't pay $31k in back rent, supposedly couldn't pay $161k in child support, and had an ex-landlord sue for his music royalties because he owed $171k in back rent in Chicago. This is all just the last 3 years.

e: Oh, and according to court documents he owes the IRS $2 million in back taxes.

One of those points you mentioned directly conflicts with the narrative of him being broke and it’s pretty great that you posted all that and didn’t see it.

How can he owe 2MM in back taxes without that being, at maximum, 35% of his income? That’s if every red cent he made was counted as regular income, the highest tax rate you could end up paying. To actually have it end up this way would mean that he is the dumbest motherfucker to ever earn a dime but it can give us an idea of how much he is making.

The math there tells us that he made at absolute minimum 2MM / .35 = 5.71MM in that taxation time frame, absolute bare basic minimum. The idea that he “can’t make” 130k of rent is ludicrous. He chooses not to, because he thinks he is invulnerable. Just like he chose not to stop preying on children, because he thought his money and fame made him invulnerable. This is a very rich man who makes extremely poor decisions and is now paying for it. In social costs, not monetary.

I'm not gonna say anything one way or the other about him specifically being broke but uh, by already have not been paying taxes when he still was making money, that's how.

They're called "back taxes" because you owe them on things that happened in the past. Otherwise they're just "taxes".

Right, same definition for back rent and crap. Over whatever time period that tax bill ran up, he made at least 5.71 million. Probably a lot more, rich people are the ones who care about dodging taxes and poo poo so it would not surprise me in the least if his real income was double that or more. He chose not to pay a lot of that stuff, mostly because as a rich and famous person something like eviction doesn’t matter to him. He can go pretty much anywhere else he wants and get a place to sleep and abuse children because he’s R effin Kelly.

It’s coming back to bite him now in various ways because he literally pissed a lot of that money away onto little girls. Period. Hard stop.

Regrettable
Jan 5, 2010



The man is illiterate and, as you just said, makes extremely poor decisions that are now coming back to bite him. R. Kelly himself said he only had about $350k in the bank about a decade ago when he should've been worth about $100 million.

e: That landlord I mentioned that originally wanted $170k from him managed to secure a $3.5 million judgement against him. Sony was forced to freeze his royalties and give $1.5 million to them. He also owes one of his victims $4 million. And his label dropped him in January of 2019 which is probably not something they would do if the thought he was still valuable in any way.

So, going by your numbers we know he probably made around $6 million over a few years in order to owe that much in back taxes but he owed the IRS, his landlords, and just one of his victims nearly $10 million.

It’s the entire point that he’s gotten all this money is the point in my mind. This isn’t some swaggering techbro talking about how his app is gonna make him king of Silicon Valley, he actually made this money. We can agree that he has made more millions than the 99% will see in their entire lifetimes by the time he was halfway through and has actively chosen to make terrible and malicious decisions and even from a social capital perspective he’s easily one of the most famous (and therefore rich) people of the last 20 years.

So he’s 1%er with money, at least a 1%er with fame, and we come in here and go “oh won’t someone please think of the poor broke rappers under legal indictment”? Laughable. Kelly is going down in spite of his millions and his fame, not because they’re suddenly absent.

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.

the crazy thing to me is how that's even a thing, like child brides are totally legal in america if the parents are on board, so that basically means rich dudes + lovely parents = completely legal pedophilia.

At some point you kind of wonder why they bother going through other routes, they can just do it in the open if they feel like it.
