R Kelly is being hounded for millions of dollars by six victims who claim he isn’t paying out an expensive judgment against him, TMZ reports.
According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, six alleged victims say they scored a $10.3 million judgment against R Kelly in 2023, and the problem is, they claim he’s only paid them a fraction.
Lizette Martinez, Lisa Van Allen, Kelly Rogers, Faith Rogers, Roderick Gartrell and Gem Pratts claim they’ve received less than $500,000 … and they say R Kelly is still on the hook for more than $9.9 million.
As you know, Kelly’s victims came forward in the Lifetime docuseries, “Surviving R. Kelly” … and they’re going after the disgraced singer and his former record label, Universal Music, for the money after claiming he shut down a screening of the doc in 2018.
The judgment was leveled against R Kelly in August 2023, but he pushed back and claimed he didn’t even know about the case and shouldn’t be held accountable.
Kelly is currently serving a 30-year prison sentence and, frankly, there’s always been questions if the victims here would ever see a dime. They say they’ve gotten some money, but it isn’t all of what they say they’re entitled to.
R. Kelly’s current lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, tells TMZ … the default judgment was entered against Kelly before she joined his legal team, and his appeal is pending.
