John Legend Defends Photos with Harvey Weinstein, Regrets Working with Him

Sometimes silence is better than trying to be a hero.

Digging up old sh*t and using it out of context irks my damn nerves!! The internet and social media is the devil's playground.

Keep the focus on the criminal. Let the criminals get full accountability.

Not people in photos. We all take pics with criminals addicts and spirits not knowing full pasts.

John legend the boy know to not run his mouth about a jew man terrorizing women but a dark skin black man is fair game. and Hollywood been knew Weinstein was no good..Barry Obama’s sent his daughter into the room with him and Oprah hooked him up all the time with prey

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

John Legend is boring. He has been boring so I'm not sure why anyone would care. He should focus on his family rather than supporting the media's persecution of a peer. His goals should include making music that won't put us to sleep and balancing the aggressiveness of his wife.

This is very hypocritical of Mr. Legend. While we're at it, no one is talking about Weinstein's charges being quietly dropped here and there. Glad this picture was dug up. Kuddos to the person that did so.
It's good to have a voice, but then again sometimes it's just better to stay in your lane and keep your mouth shut.

She storing fertilized embryos in this cheeks!

And the playground and only platform for mufugas who don't have shyt else to look forward to.

He tweeted, "It didn't feel risky at all. I believe these women and don't give a f--k about protecting a serial child rapist. Easy decision."

LOVE Mr. Legend’s courage!

Translation: you’re a tap dancing c00n who only cries foul when it’s one of your own

?

Personally, I think we need to stop giving coverage to what celebrities are or aren’t against R. Kelly. Let the legal courts decide Kellz’s fate. None of us have a heaven or hell to put anyone in, and we need to stop acting like judge, juror, and executioner in some court of public opinion.

Had his ass been just as boring as his music and be quiet he wouldn't be in this position.

What did he do to turn you on? (yuck btw) lol

"Had his ass been just as boring as his music." Wooh.. I thought it was just me.

He brought nothing to the documentary.
he talked about 3 mins in the whole 6 hours.

I think he just looking attention.

The bottom line is Hollywood is a very small place, even if the man (HW) had not been indicted at the time, John heard about the man and his deplorable reputation and behavior.

I love him too

I am wondering why all these celebrities love to protesting against corruption. However their same industry is marred with the same corruption drugs, sex, violence, perverts, pedophilia, love to force their believes or agenda on the masses ( if they don't accept their agenda the coin a word to label these people). John your wife quoted " I am force to like because she a child actor Quvenzhané Wallis. I wonder if we are force to like both of you children too because they mix Hollywood standard.

Im not angry at John Legend. But know when WE (people of melanin) raise our hands to volunteer ANYTHING, help ANY cause, etc...That THEY (mayo people of LESS melanin) WILL be digging up every damn piece of dirt you have ever HAD in your LIFE. Even if its for issues that JUST relate to US (again people of melanin). So be ready. John's team wasnt ready. Had to issue an additional statement etc. They may as well issue one for every predator he has worked with. Make sure there are no murderer's. People who ran a red light in the past 5 years. Make sure that nobody bullied anyone and so on and so forth.

Ain’t that it . It’s Crazy. I don’t understand our black at times.

He looks real sweet and soft. Real bitch like ?????.

I like John. But see above sentiment under Brick's comment. Like be ready or stay your ass at home if you trying to save folks sans preparation.

Right

I appreciate John Legend’s courage in standing up for victimized black women. And I am not a fan of his music, his voice and style just not my cup of tea.

I don’t agree with boycotting R Kelly. I believe community leaders should be pushing him into a treatment program. The goal is for him to stop targeting and harming black girls and women.

I don’t believe that white women or white people in general care about black girls and women and that the me too movement is only concerned with furthering their own agenda of the rights of white women. The R Kelly married Aliyah and then his trial were decades ago and the disingenuous feminist movement did not give one single fk about those black girls.

R Kelly is a symbol of what happens to black boys who are victims of inadequate inner city public school education and sexual abuse and molestation. They grow up to be damaged illiterate predators lashing out at their own community.

A few years ago a man named Africa Bammbattah who is said to be the founder of rap music was exposed for using his position and influence to molest and rape boys.

There also needs to be a me too movement for abused inner city black boys to stop these cycles of abuse. Healing is neeeded all around.

Well said.

Nope since old blog I said he makes me want to slit my wrist and at best go to sleep.

For black people. Yes. Yes it will be. Sorry. Those are the breaks. Explain or stand to lose something. Even something small. Even if its a small portion of your audience. A gig. Something. If you can afford to stand up etc without losing anything that you value, then go for it. If not then get ready to get those lips ready. I dont like it. But its how it goes. It needs to change. But it hasnt.

????

Thank you. No one seem to know talk about all the young black boys getting molested ?????

sounds crazey but its true all folks in hollywood know what kinda guy hw and what kinda ho chrissy is legend is just decoration for her

His voice was very deep and melodic https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c03c20ddd14d51f51dc6a5bdb5844aee5e7ecaa2f304c069cbaacdf05dc87c17.gif

Was just starting to tolerate Diddles and now I am mad at him over Justin's birth certificate. Like BOOM. Just like that.

He can sing to me any day! Lol...

Johnny come lately, why don't you and your pie faced wife keep that same energy for your close friends that you did with RKelly. Why must they have special circumstances for the predators they hang around? Pie face has seen a lot in the modeling industry and so has Johnny come lately.

Speak!

LMAO I side eyed that as a teen but was easy for me to overlook because Misa ain't no fool. She made damn sure she had her very own lane and was theeee stylist for all our loves in the 90's.

Bloop, no but they will have all the black celebrities eat their own while the whit man continues to rape and pillage Hollywood. Rkelly is a street thug compared to Weinstien and co and what hey do on a daily. DO you know what slavery s then go to Hollywood and you will look at Rkelly and shake your head. They have them on drugs and stung out by the time they are finished with them they are junkies.

Look at you looking at the 55 inch 4k TV vs the 13 inch fatback TV

Big screen vs small screen and finding the point.

So John's child-bearing hips turned you on, huh?

Do tell ??

?

Maybe hero was too strong but some people praised Legend for participating in the docu-series.

Same in some households when they know a family member has molested one of us. It's swept under the rug after they try to convince you that it didn't happen, you were dreaming, maybe you misunderstood. No misunderstanding when a dyck is in your face and a finger in your drawers at 4 to 10 years old.

maybe he's waiting for the "docuseries" on Harvey to come out, Lol!

(what i want to know is, where is Kanye? he has an opinion on EVERYTHING, but i haven't heard a 'peep' outta him...)

He too busy getting dck, supremacy and silicone. No time for R

R Kelly has been given the benefit of doubt for over twenty years. Even though there's clear proof, not speculation, that he's a pedophile. He illegally married a child, is on tape raping and urinating on one, and child pornography was found in his home. These are all facts not hear say. But we shouldn't pass judgement on this sick man SMH

look at you out here saving lives, LOL!!!!!

He shouldn't say anything since he was so amused about Tyga getting with Kylie to make sure nobody else got her first.

I'm telling y'all Legend aint squeaky clean... He has ulterior motives and I cant quite put a finger on it, in due time will tell..

For the record, I don't like either one of them. I don't see the significance of either of them. Johns music is just ok, truthfully I only like one song of his "Best You Ever Had" and that's only bc of the scene with Taraji in Think like a man...

John Nobody said to throw your a** in the fire of all of this. You and your wife just crave attention. That's what hanging out with the Kardashians will do to you.

He wasn’t outspoken while Tyga was around Kyle oh I forget his boss Kanye West so he’s silent.

Well said. He was made to be submissive as a victim of childhood molestation. As an adult, he ensures he is always the dominant one in the relationship by selecting submissive (adolescent girls, weak minded adult women) partners. That's the pathology at the root of his behavior but the masses thrive on sensationalism, gossip and innuendo.

My 2 cents: I’m cool with his John. His music is boring AF and his wife annoys me for some reason. But the truth is that there isn’t a looooong line of Black male celebs that are standing up for Black women right now. So I’m not gonna hate on the very few who are. Besides his foooish collaboration w/ Rick Ross (a man who degrades women for sport), John can have a seat at the table (sans Crissy).

Don't take that bait

They were victim shamed too

Id be messy like superhead , quincy, and pam grier and tell everything

Meanwhile John legend is busy breeding the black out of himself:/

Let Crissy have a seat. She can throw down in the kitchen. LOL

Barcoding black dysfunction so whites get paid ain’t commendable period.

i'm just laughing at chrissy's face lol

Master P’s comment was a little strange only becasue he said he didn’t know what R. Kelly did, it wasn’t his concern and he’s not going to pass judgement, but then insisted that he would never allow a daughter around him. This “on the fence” mentality is part of the problem. I don’t think he should have even bothered to say anything at all.

Exactly. Master P is a scumbag.

First john album is classic.. sorry

Whoever found this old pic and captioned it should be ashamed! All men that are predators are sickos. The unfortunate thing is they don't walk around with a Scarlet Letter on their chest to easily identify them. Now if the pic was taken yesterday that would be different. Get a job and quit digging up old useless bones!

He aint speak live on Weinstein tho

John legend betrer not make songs with any of these rappers that degrades women

BULLSCHIT!!!!! LIES!!!! This is what makes me angry about this rkelly bs coming out again now. Deflection! First off...just like kelly, weinsteins proclivities have BEEN KNOWN!!! I worked for one production house and I was instructed to stay clear of him and to not engage him outside of anything absolutely necessary. This not only came from a colleague but my boss who was also a piece of u know to most of the women in his life. My boss wouldn't even let me bring him water or coffee if he asked...that's how well known it was, that he was a dirt bag.
I'm not absolving him and I stopped supporting kelly long ago...it's just white men get away with much worse. If child predator that married his adoptive daughter at 17, and then his own bio daughter comes forward saying he was diddling her too, still goes on to have an illustrious career with out all this public scrutiny, then we shouldn't be talking about kelly either. Don't you see that we will crucify our own for them??? We need to take a page out of this white mans book and show some solidarity.
I am not saying that kelly should continue to prosper or not have consequence, I'm saying let this schit play out the weinstiens schit is, quietly.
I worked with a facility that provided re-entry services for parolees. There was a yak there who went to prison for letting her then bf have sex with her THREE MONTH OLD DAUGHTER and she participated in the act as well. Do you know she did less than a year????
So let's call out, do docu series on, and demand justice on them all.

And this is why so many rappers, singers and producers who worked with R Kelly, despite knowing he was a scumbag did not want to participate in Surviving R Kelly. Look at how y'all chewing John Legend out, then you cry wolf when Jay Z or Swiss Beats didn't speak up in the docuseries. SMH. Make it Make Sense guys! you can't have it both ways.

They are all also guilty of being perverts! Liking and messing with young girls is bad enough, but were they serial offenders purposely praying on young women? Maybe, Idk. Did they mistreat these young girls/women to the point of almost torture, beatings, withholding food, made them do sexual things so degrading that they can't even speak of, brainwashing, etc. Black or white mofo needs to be locked away and deal with those sick mental issues.

There is no such thing as the "Black Community". The community is where you live not every "Black Person" is American born or have the same mindset. Bringing race into the Criminal justice system is an American Black thing. I never had an issue with the Criminal justice system. You do the crime do the time period. Making everything about race and fake outrage is an American Black thing. Where was the outrage when R Kelly was actually on trial now your mad.

Allayiah family could of had him locked up. All of this could of been avoided.

Where was was the outrage when R Kelly was actually on trial? I did not see the so-called Black Community say anything. Now people want to have the fake outrage when this has been known for years and never once told radio to stop playing his music.

This comes from Black people who want an apology for everything example Roseanne and Megan Kelly. Black people are on social media more than anyone example the negativity which is Black twitter. Black people I am a victim started this.

Just because white folks do it doesn't make it right...wrong is wrong no matter who does it but black folks like to say well i did the same thang and I got mo time dan de white folks...black people look how foolish you sound with white folks its stupid with back folks its black and stupid. Just do the right thang and live ya best life!

"Where was the outrage when R Kelly was actually on trial now your mad." why is everyone saying this? how old are yall? it was ALOT of outrage during the time of his trial. and people have always been vocal about r kelly. its only so much the general public can do

John needs to stop apologizing for working Harvey (who helped him!) and R. Kelly....pleez! stop it. Trying to clean up mess....too late.

Radio stations still played his music R Kelly still had a career which should of been over a long time ago. The general public has to do what the so-called black community did not.

I do not subject to " from our own black men" way of thinking.

Honey keep reading then.. im not changing my words for ur feelings...

I’ve never really been a John Legend fan but I truly respect him for speaking out...We all know the industry knew what was going on with R Kelly!?
R Kelly really thinks he’s untouchable...He’s not...They’re going to burn his a** this time because white people are uncomfortable ?

What a joke! Everyone including Oprah and the Obamas who sent their daughter to intern at Weinstein's company knew he was a rapist and molester. They knew about the payoffs and the high profile actresses who had shared their stories long before last year. Legend and the others CHOSE to work with a known rapist. John acts like he knows everything but he didn't know about Weinstein? He can kiss my azz. He hates black people...ask his relatives and he's the first to put another black man down.

That's what I'm saying. We only want to condemn our own when white men are far worse predators.

Furthermore...I don't need John Legend to defend me... a black woman as long as he has that whore he slept with on the day they met on his arm. Who sleeps with a video model after the shoot and then wife's her up? When you date or marry a decent black woman...then you can defend me. He needs to get off his pedestal. He sits back and critiques everyone but is messier than most.

Legend getting bold in these tweets. I LOVE IT. He is right!

I wonder is weinstein's fat azz going down for his transgressions or is it just for the black man?

I am not a Black American. I don't believe in the woke crap Black Americans created stop it with the fake outrage and victim mentality.

Chrissy wears her beard well

Legend is a racist hypocrite. And he’s married to a drunk.

I agree!!!

Troll.

Told you he was a Bitch! It doesn't make you a hero when you pick and choose who you come for. It's OK to go after RKelly. The question is why didn't he go after and publicly condemn Weinstein also. GTFOH. Old school we called that a Weasel. Now days he just a lil Bitch!
