*Following the release of the recent Lifetime docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly,” music industry veteran Dame Dash has opened up about what his former girlfriend Aaliyah really thought about the controversial singer.
Dash claims he never supported Kelly because he left Aaliyah emotionally devastated after their taboo relationship. He also claims that, much like the women in the doc, it was hard for the songstress to talk about the R&B crooner and she described him as a “bad dude.”
“I watched some of it yesterday, and as a human I was tight. There was a girl and when she was trying to talk about it, she couldn’t,” Dash says during the interview. “And I remember Aaliyah trying to talk about it and she couldn’t. She would just leave it at ‘that dude was a bad man.’ I’ve been tight about this sh*t for years.”

In related news, R. Kelly responded to the Lifetime doc by threatening legal action last week, then he dropped a new song called “Born to My Music” on Friday, and on Monday sources close to the singer teased on a Facebook page that a forthcoming website called SurvivingLies.com “will attempt to expose all of his accusers as liars as well as reveal their true motivations behind their allegations.”
According to reports, the site posted a video that contradicted the allegations made by one of Kelly’s accusers and also included text messages allegedly between the Chicago-native and a young female who repeatedly called him “Daddy” – per msn.com.
But hours after it was posted, the page was taken down and Facebook explained why in a statement to TMZ: “The Page violated our Community Standards and has been removed. We do not tolerate bullying or sharing someone’s private contact information and take action on content that violates our policies as soon as we’re aware.”
