R. Kelly Bomb Threat Victims Awarded $10 Million


Last year R. Kelly's manager was sentenced to one year in prison for calling in a bomb threat at the 'Surviving R. Kelly' private screening for his accusers [click here if you missed that]. 

Now the accusers are set to receive $10.5 million in restitution...

From TMZ
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, 6 of the disgraced singer's victims are getting a total of about $10.5 million from Kelly and his former manager, Donnell Russell. The women had sued Kelly and Russell for their successful effort to shut down a December 2018 NYC screening of 'Surviving.'
They alleged the defendants waged a campaign, starting back in May 2018, to intimidate the women, A&E/Lifetime and the producers to stop screening the docuseries. When those efforts, including legal threats, failed ... they claimed Kelly's camp called producers on the night of the NYC screening and said someone was "going to shoot up the place."
The fake mass shooting threat worked, as the event was shut down -- and according to the victims, it all opened up past trauma and resulted in them suffering PTSD and panic attacks.
The judgment against Kelly and Russell means each of the 6 women should get anywhere between $1.1 million and $2.25 million. The question is will they ever get a dime of that?

He has no one to blame but himself. Hopefully, he's learned his lesson.
