@cbsnews: Reshona Landfair, known publicly for years only as “Jane Doe” in the R. Kelly trial that took place in Chicago, is sharing her story in her own words for the first time. In her new memoir, "Who’s Watching Shorty?" — and in her first TV interview on @CBS Mornings — Landfair describes how a relationship with R. Kelly, when she was just a young teen, turned into years of abuse, manipulation and silence. Landfair says grooming and fear kept her from telling the truth earlier, and that watching her trauma become a public spectacle left her feeling exposed and mocked rather than protected. Now, she says, speaking out has allowed her to finally reclaim her voice and continue her healing journey. R. Kelly was found guilty of sex trafficking and sex crimes in 2021 and 2022. #news #rkelly #court #crime

a 14 year old black girl is not seen as a child by larger society. they classify us as grown very early. because passing around child *orn like it's just a movie is absolutely WILD. People should have gone to jail for that

i remember as a little kid the bootleggers were selling it right along with all the other movie DVDs, as entertainment. literal child p just passed around and laughed at. so many stand-up routines and pop culture references like this little girl was a joke🫤

She’s allowed to tell her story. At the end of the day she was a child controlled by everyone around her, victim of extreme abuse, and exploited in front of half the world

A minor cannot be in a “relationship” with an adult.

Her parents really didn’t protect her at all. All of them had the nerve to be mad at Sparkle when she was the only one fighting for her niece. SMH

Never in my lifetime did I think she’d come forward. So proud of her for having the immense courage to tell her story, in all its complexity. Go Reshona 👏🏾

She was 14... She was 14... She was 14... He knew she was 14... Even if she chased after him (not true but), he should have been like 'man, watch out shorty'.
