Taraji P. Henson clarifies perceived support for R. Kelly...
There is a growing movement online using the hashtag #ThemFirst where anytime Black celebs are persecuted for something them-firsters counter with white celebs who got away with the same things or worse.
In a #ThemFirst argument gone wrong Taraji P. Henson shared a video on Instagram Live attempting to find a #MuteHarveyWeinstein hashtag matching the same energy of #MuteRKelly.
Two things: First the #MuteRKelly hashtag was crafted specifically for R. Kelly referencing his music career. Second: Harvey Weinstein is a bad example because there are several documentaries dedicated to his sexual misconduct, Weinstein lost his business, power and prestige and he's currently on trial for rape.
After Taraji was accused of trying to justifying R. Kelly's actions she clarified her stance on Twitter.
