Hollywood actress Taraji P. Henson might want to go offline for a few days. Everyone’s favorite “Empire” star is catching serious heat after comparing disgraced singer R. Kelly to controversial film executive Harvey Weinstein.

In since-deleted Instagram posts, the actress pointed out the lack of posts calling for the muting of disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein ― who is set to stand trial in May for some of the sexual assault allegations against him. The MuteRKelly hashtag has flourished on social media after the R&B singer was accused of serial sexual predation and abuse by multiple women in a new Lifetime docu-series, “Surviving R. Kelly.” (Huff Post)

Lifetime’s “Surviving R. Kelly” executive producer dream hampton even addressed the situation on social media.
No idea why Taraji Henson wouldn't know that there are not one, but two projects abt Harvey Weinstein. But this is an oft-invoked deflection. While I care abt the Hollywood stars Weinstein abused, I care more abt Asante, Kitty, Jerhona, Lisette, Azriel & Joy & others, even more.
