Lifetime isn’t done with R. Kelly<\/a><\/strong>. The network announced the premiere date for Surviving R. Kelly Part II: The Reckoning<\/em> with a haunting new trailer. The three-night event kicks off on January 2 and will feature new interviews from a variety of perspectives, including new survivors, supporters, psychologists and experts.<\/p>\n

Investigative journalist and author Jim DeRogatis<\/strong>, Damon Dash<\/strong>, Mathew Knowles<\/strong>, Jimmy Maynes,<\/strong> #MeToo founder Tarana Burke<\/strong>, W. Kamau Bell<\/strong>, Sheryl Lee Ralph<\/strong>, Angela Yee<\/strong>, Jamilah Lemieux<\/strong>, Cook County State’s Attorney Kimberly M. Foxx<\/strong>, Gloria Allred<\/strong> and more are set for the sequel to the Emmy nominated series.<\/p>\n

In a press release, Lifetime said Surviving R. Kelly Part II: The Reckoning<\/em> will offer “more insights into the ever-growing saga of the R&B singer, who is currently facing federal and state charges.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“The three-night event uncovers new stories with revealing details and explores why the voices of the girls that spoke up decades ago are only now being heard,” Lifetime said.<\/p>\n

According to Lifetime, days after the debut of Surviving R. Kelly<\/em> in January 2019, calls to sexual assault hotlines increased by 35 percent. Seven weeks after the debut, the Cook County attorney’s office indicted the singer on 10 felony counts<\/a> of aggravated sexual assault and in July 2019, R. Kelly was arrested<\/a> and facing 18 federal charges. The singer has denied the allegations in the documentary and pleaded not guilty to all charges filed against him.<\/p>\n

The channel has also deepened its partnership with RAINN as part of Lifetime’s Stop Violence Against Women campaign. A new PSA will run during the airing of Surviving R. Kelly: Part II: The Reckoning<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
