A growing number of women of color within the Time’s Up movement are demanding the music and entertainment industries cut all ties with powerful singer and producer R. Kelly, after a number of women of color accused R. Kelly of rape and sexual assault in cases that stretch back decades. Among those demanding RCA Records, Spotify, Apple Music and other companies cut ties with R. Kelly are television producer and writer Shonda Rhimes and award-winning director Ava DuVernay. And actress Ashley Judd has sued Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood mogul who is now facing multiple criminal investigations after more than 100 women accused him of rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment. Judd says Weinstein tried to sabotage her career after she rejected his sexual advances.
