*We bet actress Taraji P. Henson wasn ‘t ready for the incoming she received from B lack Twitter all because she seem to question why R. Kelly is being held more accountable than Harvey Weinstein.
Via her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, she shared a a series of videos … the first was of her looking up the hashtag and fan pages under “Mute R. Kelly.”
And of course she found several.
So she repeated her search — only this time she looked for similar pages and hashtags about Harvey Weinstein. Guess what? She didn’t find many.
At that point, Taraji shared an emoji and the word “hmm,” suggesting she was confused as to why there was backlash for one and not the other.
Well, that’s when things went left for her.
Taraji is dumb ass bricks. She really tried to compare mute R. Kelly hashtags to Mute Harvey Weinstein! News flash, Taraji, Harvey is about to go to trial. There are people willing to testify against him. His businesses and career are DONE! R. Kelly is still out here functioning!

Finally, Taraji will be glad to know that while people are using a hashtag begun by Black women– @SuiteLadyOro & @LegisEmpress–who’ve been strategic & clear with their demands, enough ppl support R Kelly to make him chart. Which I found heartbreaking https://t.co/vo6T07aH8K
