R. Kelly is reportedly under investigation in Georgia. According to TMZ, the probe is the result of Lifetime’s recent docuseries, Surviving R. Kelly, which saw survivors and former employees opening up about the abuse they experienced and witnessed.
The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office has reportedly reached out to a number of survivors who were featured on the show, including Asante McGee, one of the women who escaped Kelly’s home. A source told TMZ that investigators are also now working with the attorney for Joycelyn Savage’s family. Investigators were reportedly flooded with calls following the six-part series and are working to find contact information for others who have lived in Kelly’s home or may have direct information about the abuse allegations. R. Kelly has continuously denied allegations of abuse and sexual misconduct with minors.
