R. Kelly Accuser Given Priority Access to His Royalties


Three years ago R. Kelly lost a $4 million civil lawsuit filed by a woman claiming that he lured her to his Chicago recording studio with promises of a job, if she had sex with him, when she was 16-years-old [click here if you missed that]. 

A court has just given the accuser priority access to Kellz royalties...

The Illinois Supreme Court ruled that the victim in the R. Kelly harassment case would be given first dibs at the singer's royalties to help pay off the massive $4 million judgement against him.
Heather Williams filed a civil lawsuit against Kelly in 2019 alleging that when she was just 16 years old the platinum selling artist lured her into his studio and promised her a job if she had sex with him.
She ultimately won the case against the singer and was awarded $4 million, a payment Kelly has yet to pay up.
After assessing the singer's assets, the court decided on March 23 that Williams would be allowed to tap into the royalties Kelly earned through his music distributed at Sony Studios.
The artist's account was valued at around $1.5 million in 2020, before the Honey Love singer lost another $3.5 million in a ruling favoring his property manager in a case over unpaid rent for a Chicago studio.
Thursday’s decision upheld a lower court’s earlier ruling that Williams would be given "priority access" to the royalties because she was the first to properly demand the money from the music label.

Corey Holcomb interviewed the pied piper and gave the predator his flowers.
Just pathetic! No wonder he is where he is and never elevated in acting.

R was just at the wrong place at the wrong time doing the wrong thing to the wrong people. To many wrongs.

His mind was telling him no, but his body his body was saying yes.

He took advantage of an impressionable minor who could not give consent to sexual activity (under 17), it's what predators do and I'm glad she's finally seeing a measure of justice! What a different world we would have if men would act like the 'leaders' they claim they want to be and not blame their own choices and actions on girls and women.
