Both Arline and Williams pleaded guilty in the case.<\/p>\n<p>It was also alleged that the defendants knew about Kelly\u2019s abuse of women but didn\u2019t do anything to help them, \u201clikely to protect the R. Kelly brand, name, reputation, image, and continued fame, success, and financial benefit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The suit added;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefendants were also aware of and acted in furtherance to engage in acts to intimidate, silence, threatened and physical (and sexually) assault women who disclosed Kelly\u2019s misconduct.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit further claimed that Kelly and his companies should have known what Russell was capable of and should have protected the women who were coming forward with their stories of abuse. Kelly and his companies were however accused of fostering \u201can environment where criminal misconduct was a normal course of agents\u2019 \u2026 performance obligations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The singer&#8217;s lawyer Jennifer Bonjean however told Page Six, \u201cthis lawsuit in no way connects Mr. Kelly to the alleged intentional acts of Donnell Russell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are just allegations and when the facts are demonstrated, what the public will learn is that Mr. Kelly had no role in directing harassment or intimidation of any potential witness or individuals.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Embattled singer, R.Kelly and his manager, Donnell Russell have been charged by his sex abuse accusers for allegedly trying to intimidate them with tactics that include calling in a shooting threat to a theater premiering a documentary about the singer.
