Lady Gaga has apologised for working with R&B star R Kelly.

Lady Gaga has apologised for working with R&B star R Kelly, she has vowed to remove their duet from streaming services.

This comes after the broadcast of a new documentary about Kelly which details sexual and physical abuse against women and underage girls over several decades. Lady Gaga called the stories “horrifying” and “indefensible” also mentioning: “I stand behind these women 1000%”.  Kelly denies all allegations against him.

His lawyer also dismissed the documentary as another round of stories being used to fit in TV time. However, film-maker Dream Hampton said the film depicted how Kelly had “build an ecosystem around his predation” after three decades of alleged attacks on young and vulnerable women.

Gaga has been put under pressure ever since the allegations started against Kelly as she collaborated with him on Do What U Want. The song was controversial from the outset and stories about Kelly’s personal life had already been widely reported. Kelly stood trial on charges on tapes of an underaged girl.

In 2013, Lady Gaga defended the collaboration by saying: “R Kelly and I have sometimes had very untrue things written about us, so in a way this was a bond between us.”

“I apologise to all of his survivors for working with him and for taking this long to speak out.”
