Exclusively - John Legend Defends His Decision To Appear In R. Kelly Docuseries by mykomini(m): 3:52pm On Jan 04, 2019
John Legend appeared in Lifetime's much-hyped docuseries Surviving R. Kelly , which aired on Thursday night. Legend took to social media late Thursday to comment on his appearance after the first two episodes aired.
"To everyone telling me how courageous I am for appearing in the doc, it didn't feel risky at all. I believe these women and don't give a f*** about protecting a serial child rapist. Easy decision."


He continued:


"Also I'm happy to support the work of people like my friends at @ALongWalkHome who have been speaking out on behalf of the survivors for a long time."
Legend also thanked the series director and producer dream hampton on Twitter, writing:


"We should all thank my friend @dreamhampton for her very necessary work to create #SurvivingRKelly. These survivors deserved to be lifted up and heard. I hope it gets them closer to some kind of justice."
Legend was the only bold name celebrity who agreed to appear in the docuseries.
"It was incredibly difficult to get people who had collaborated (artistically) with Kelly to come forward," hampton told the Detroit Free Press . "We asked Lady Gaga. We asked Erykah Badu. We asked Celine Dion. We asked Jay-Z.
