Williams admitted that she saw R. Kelly two more times after that and saw multiple young women there as well. Williams decided she’d had enough, however, when she woke up one morning and heard him beating on another woman.
When the investigation was launched following the explosive Lifetime documentary “Surviving R. Kelly” in January 2019, she contacted authorities to share her experience.
“I realized it was my opportunity to help anyone who’s been hurt by him. There had been so many other instances where I had been abused by men that my mentality [at that time] was of an abused person and that it was okay for me to be treated like that.”
At first, Williams was too embarrassed to share her pain with her family members. Eventually, Williams told her mother what she’d experienced at R. Kelly’s home.
“It’s not something you want to tell your mom, because my mom is a very strong woman and she did her very best in raising me. And I think for any woman or man who’s been in an abusive situation, you don’t want to tell your parents because you don’t want them to think that they had let you down in any way. I don’t want her to think that she had done anything wrong. And so I took it upon myself.”
