*Tarana Burke, the woman who created the #MeToo hashtag to call out sexual harassment and assault, was recently overheard taking a stand against accused sex cult leader R. Kelly.

Burke was attending a TV-industry party on Sunday hosted by entertainment attorneys Nina Shaw and Gordon Bobb at Harlem’s Red Rooster restaurant.

According to a spy who ran to Page Six, everything was going fine – until the DJ threw on R. Kelly’s song “Fiesta.”

“She told the DJ, ‘No R. Kelly!’ and shut it down,” the witness said, as Lupita Nyong’o and Tiffany Haddish mingled with other stars in attendance.

Kelly’s music is no longer promoted on streaming services Spotify and Pandora in the latest wave of protests against the singer’s multiple allegations of sexual assault.
