Last night the highly anticipated documentary 'Surviving R. Kelly' premiered on Lifetime despite R. Kelly's threats to sue the network if the doc aired [click here if you missed that].
Producer Dream Hampton admits she was turned down by nearly every celebrity she asked to participate...
Dream tells Shadow and Act
“John Legend was the only one. I asked Jay-Z, I asked Mary J. Blige, I asked Lil Kim, Erykah Badu, Dave Chappelle...I mean, most people just don’t want to touch it. I remember Ahmir [”Questlove” Thompson] was like, ‘I would do anything for you but I can’t do this.’ It’s not because they support him, it’s because it’s so messy and muddy. It’s that turning away that has allowed this to go on.”
