How R. Kelly may be paying a financial price for those "Sex Cult" allegations

Salon  

Following Buzzfeed's mid-July publishing of an accusatory article by journalist Jim DeRogatis and the public reaction to it, singer and producer R. Kelly has cancelled a number of stops on his "After Party" tour. If true, it marks the first sign that R. Kelly may be starting to pay an observable financial price for the allegations attached to the Buzzfeed article. A bombshell of sorts, the article by DeRogatis — who has long investigated and reported on Kelly's alleged sexual misdoings and possible crimes — alleged that the singer maintained a "sex cult" of young women in various residences throughout the country. Kelly, who has had a long history of disturbing claims of coercive sex attached to him in reports from DeRogatis and many others, did not fare well in the traditional or social media after the Buzzfeed article.
