RF23 - Just Bad

Okay by now everyone has seen the Aaliyah biopic produced by Wendy Williams and although Williams may have wanted to do something to remember the singer, who lost her life at a early age of 22.  It was bad.  Real bad, so bad that I might have to cancel the Frasier shows that appear on the Lifetime channel bad.  I'm not going to touch on the content, because  I read one positive feedback on the movie and the rest were negative. I wanna touch on the issue of R-Kelly.   Most of you don't know, but I just start putting his music back on my Ipod or phone.  I think he's a sick man, I think he's a child predator and I have no problem with him serving a prison record.  He wouldn't be the first, we all had to see the image of Rick James going to prison, so Kelly doing the same perp walk would not be shocking or heartbreaking, especially for a man that preys on young girls.   The show romanticized his crime, the show made it seem like it was a Romeo and Juliet play, when in fact, it was a crime.   Williams should have pounded and made R-Kelly exactly what he was/is...A child predator.  It failed to do that and R-Kelly got off unscathed and Williams is taking the brunt of all the criticism of putting on a bad biopic.  And that's unfortunate, because not only did Aaliyah have the beauty, the talent and business sense to take chances...We could only guess where others like Beyonce' would be if she had lived...
