*When ever R. Kelly is involved, you can best believe that drama of some kind is almost always lurking close by. Such was the case at a screening of the upcoming Lifetime docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly.” The audience was forced to evacuate after a threat to the NeueHouse Madison Square was called in.
One of the guests at the Tuesday (12-04-18) screening was the founder of the #MeToo movement, Tarana Burke, who tweeted about the incident, according to Deadline.
“So…Y’ALL ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS! Tonight was a private screening of the @lifetimetv documentary #survivingRkelly where his survivors, parents of survivors, and folks featured in the doc were gathered and a BOMB THREAT was called in and the event shut down. #muteRkelly,” Burke tweeted
Actually, it wasn’t a bomb threat, but a gun threat. Either way, it was a threat to the venue. Burke added:
“The worst of it isn’t the threat though bc it didn’t appear to be credible but the survivors who had to endure his harassment. #muteRkelly

The docuseries, which premieres Jan. 3, is an investigation into the controversial R&B singer. Lifetime notes that his genre-defining career and playboy lifestyle have been riddled with rumors of abuse, predatory behavior and pedophilia. Despite damning evidence and multiple witnesses, to date, none of these accusations seems to have affected him. For the first time, survivors and people from Kelly’s inner circle are coming forward with new allegations about his sexual, mental and physical abuse. They finally are ready to share their full story and shed light on the secret life the public has never seen.
