Kelly in 2013, Lady Gaga reacted through a Twitter statement stating why he collaborated with the singer and said he was fully confident to the women who spoke in the documentary "Surviving R.

"I support 1000% of these women, I believe, know that they are suffering and feel strongly that their voices should be heard and taken seriously. All I hear about the charges against R. Kelly is absolutely horrible and unmanageable.
As a victim of sexual abuse, I made the song and the video in a dark period of my life; my goal was to bring something challenging and provocative because it was angry and I did not recover from the trauma that had occurred in my life.
The song was called "Do What You Want (With My Body)," and it is clear how distorted my thoughts were at that time. If I went back, I would tell myself to go to therapy to understand the post-traumatic situation I was in, "Gaga wrote.
