Outrageous.
The glorious Cara Delevinge has revealed that she lost 50,000 followers on Instagram for speaking out against R. Kelly.
Having watched the documentary, Surviving R. Kelly, the model shared her opinions through a post on her feed.
She wrote:
“I finished the Surviving R. Kelly documentary last night and I am so shocked and outraged at how long this has gone on. My heart goes out to all the victims of his emotional and physical abuse and their families.”
“This man is a predator that feeds off power and in my opinion is far worse than Harvey Weinstein and needs to be held accountable.”
She continued:
“I am not trying to compare the two, my point is, Harvey is being investigated and R. Kelly is not. We have ourselves to blame in this situation, I knew of the allegations but failed to try and understand the severity of the situation.”
“I still continued to listen to his music. Stop separating art from the artist, just because he sings like an angel, doesn’t mean he is one.”
AMEN SISTER.
Cara Delevinge went on to applaud the celebrities who also spoke out against R. Kelly.
“I still want to applaud @johnlegend @keke @vincestaples @chancetherapper@jadapinkettsmith @ladygaga for continuing the conversation. I really hope that more musicians stand up against this monster.”
And the result of this post? Cara lost 50,000 followers. Madness.
Cara shared the update with her followers about what had happened, somewhat seeing the funny side to it.
Along with three hilarious snaps of herself, the model wrote:
“This is me realising I lost more than 50,000 followers yesterday after posting about @rkelly. Every time I say something real, something I truly believe, something others may think of as controversial, something that makes people think and ask questions, I lose followers.”
“The followers I lose clearly don’t agree with what I have to say, people that support the ideas and actions of others who are moving backwards and not forwards. In 2019, I want to be more confrontational. Confrontation IS NOT VIOLENCE btw, it’s communication.”
“Something I still struggle with. I have always been taught to avoid confrontation at all costs, which caused me to be silent most of my life, silence causes suppression and suppression causes sickness. Not anymore! Goodbye silence and backwards followers, hello confrontation and forward thinkers. It’s going to be a loud year.”
She’s a bloody icon, tbh.
