A former backup singer for Kelly named Jovante Cunningham sat down for a emotionally driven interview for the documentary that will air during the first episode. Of the many thing talked about during her interview the biggest topic was her account of R. Kelly's involvement with the late singer Aaliyah.
"She truly was a beautiful young lady. We used to sneak Aaliyah out of the hotel room & take her all over the place." says Cunningham
She later went into detail about the environment during the time they were all on the road touring where they had bunk beds on the tour bus that only had curtains to help conceal privacy.
"So, it just so happened we were all laying in our bunks & the curtains are open, everybody's communicating, laughing... When the door flew open on the bus. Robert was having sex with Aaliyah."
"Things that an adult should not be doing with a child. I can't stress to you how people are still suffering behind things that went on 20 years ago."
After hearing the allegations made by Cunningham that surfaced on social media Aaliyah's mother Diane Haughton released a statement calling the woman "a liar". Diane claims that both her & her husband were always with Aaliyah while she was on tour & says that she has never met Cunningham.
