Last year six women were awarded $10. 5 million after successfully suing R. Kelly, and his associate Donnell Russell, for shutting down the private premier screening of 'Surviving R. Kelly' with a bomb threat [click here if you missed that].
Now the incarcerated R&B icon is disputing the judgement because he wasn't aware of the proceedings...
From TMZ
R. Kelly is firing back against a huge judgment leveled against him in a lawsuit involving women who claimed they were victimized by him ... he says he didn't know about the suit and shouldn't be held accountable.
Here's the deal ... six women were awarded $10.5 million in August after suing him and his former manager, Donnell Russell, claiming they were responsible for an effort to shut down a December 2018 NYC screening of the 'Surviving R. Kelly' docuseries with a mass shooting threat.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Kelly claims he would have defended himself against the lawsuit if he knew about the darn thing.
The disgraced singer claims his head is already spinning over his various criminal cases and prosecutions ... and he's been sued so many times lately he can hardly keep up with it all from his prison cell in North Carolina.
Kelly also claims he's also shuffled legal teams since being locked up ... and he says this lawsuit must have slipped through the cracks, or not have been delivered to him behind bars at all.
Even if the lawsuit had been received, Kelly says he wouldn't be able to understand it or distinguish it from any other legal documents ... saying he relies on his lawyers to explain things to him because "I cannot read or understand words beyond that of a grade schooler."
What's more, Kelly claims Donnell was never his manager as the lawsuit claimed ... and he says he had no idea Russell was trying to stop the 'Surviving' screening.
Kelly says he didn't ask Donnell to do so and says if Russell did make a mass shooting threat to stop the screening, "he did that for his own reasons."
There's still a question if the women will see a dime of the $10.5 million judgment ... but it’s clear Kelly doesn’t think he’s responsible for this one.

He didn't do this. Stupid people did it in his name. But that doesn't mean he's not going to lose that money anyway when it pays off some of those women he destroyed.
I dunno about Kelly being innocent or clueless about this incident. I remember when he shut down the ‘Best of Both Worlds’ tour when he thought he seen a gun pointed at him from the audience at MSG. I also remember the time he had a stunt double perform in his place, but his fans knew it was a fake, and shut that show down…so I whole heartedly believe he set that bomb threat up.
He can't read so how does he know.
Hot mess
This predator has been in the slammer for a long time. He could have learned to read 10x over by now. I don’t think pretending you didn’t know about a whole lawsuit is going to fly.
That Pissy NWord Can Read Play ✔️ Pause ✔️
& Record 💯
Ignorance Of The Law Does Not Excuse Crimes-
He Got Until December 21, 2045 To Figure IT OUT LOL
Somebody read the words “you are broke and in jail for life” to him. It might as well be life, because he’s going to be a very very old man when they finally free him. And unlike OJ he has no pension to fall back on, so his pedo chronicles of “life in the prison closet” ain’t looking too good. 🎯
