The Good: Her Strong Stance on People Defending R. Kelly
Seales did not hold back when it came to people defending R. Kelly. When she was interviewed on The Breakfast Club in January of this year, she stood firmly for boycotting the crooner after Surviving R. Kelly aired. She said she does not give any comedian a pass to joke about R. Kelly without clearly renouncing him. She could not separate the art from the artist considering the art was inspired by violence against underaged Black girls. And she won’t look past anyone defending him, no matter who they are.
“What are you really defending?” she asked. “Are you defending your own villainy? Are you defending the denial of your own victimhood? Are you defending your own willful ignorance at this point?”
