According to reports, the singer and his legal team have filed a motion to disqualify jurors who have seen any portion of the 2019 documentary ‘Surviving R. Kelly,’ which detailed the singer’s crimes from the point of view of his accusers and their families, as they fear that those who have seen the docuseries present some sort of bias in the case.

The court document states, “Any potential juror who has watched any portion of this docuseries must be disqualified for cause on whether they can be fair, too great a risk exists that such a juror would base their verdict on matters not introduced into evidence in the courtroom.

Any potential juror who has seen any portion of Surviving R. Kelly is prejudiced where there’s no scenario in which an individual exposed to the contents of Surviving R. Kelly can be impartial.”

Just so you know, R. Kelly is facing child pornography and obstruction of justice charges for his alleged sexual relationships with underage girls.

The ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ docuseries uncovered those crimes, as young women alleged the singer held them hostage in his home and forced them to perform sexual acts with him on camera.

If you would recall, R. Kelly is already serving a thirty-year prison sentence after he was convicted of all nine counts in his sex trafficking case in June.
