Last month prison officials confiscated $30,000 from R. Kelly’s prison commissary account to satisfy court costs and victim restitutions. Kelly has been ordered to pay the victims he infected with herpes.
While his superfans have been donating money to the troubled convicted singer, $30k is not going to be enough.

He is is awaiting sentencing after being convicted on child pornography charges in Chicago and is also awaiting trial in Minneapolis after being charged with one count of engaging in prostitution with a person under 18 years of age and one count of hiring a person under 18 years of age for sexual purposes.

Megan has been open about her own Mental Health Journey for some time, speaking about how the death of her mother in 2019 of brain cancer, the death of her father as a teenager, and the lost of her grandmother shortly after her mother died, propelled her to seek therapy. In an interview during an appearance on Taraji P. Henson’s Facebook show “Peace of Mind with Taraji” Megan shared intimate details of her thoughts on Mental Health. “Now, in this space, I’ve lost both of my parents. So now, I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, who do I talk to? What do I do?’ And I just started learning that it’s okay to ask for help. And it’s okay to want to get therapy.” Adding “As a Black person, and when you think of therapy you think of ‘Oh my gosh, I’m weak,’ you think of medication, and you just think the worst,” explained Megan at the time. “That’s kind of what you see on TV too; like, therapy wasn’t even presented in the media as something that was good. Now it’s becoming safe to say, ‘Alright now, there’s a little too much going on. Somebody help me.’ We look forward to seeing all the amazing things that Megan will do and to supporting this fantastic platform.
