Rewatching Surviving R.Kelly part 2 on @netflix is truly bringing up some terrible times. At my previous job, one of my supervisors started liki every pic on IG dated back from 2010 on and then found me on FB making inappropriate comments on my pics and posts.
I thought at first I was bugging so i just ignored it and deleted them. Then after a while he would message me some outlandish shit. Now mind you, the man was married for 15 yrs and had a 2 daughters. One 18 and the other 17...I was 23 at the time.
Immediately starting talking to my “friends” & most of them was like oh you know how he is. Just playful...NAH THATS NOT PLAYFUL. I felt so uncomfortable and thought I did something wrong but then I remembered the lessons my mother taught me & took some action.
Screenshot every message, I never replied, I walked the other way when he came around & went to a manager there to speak w. him. This man, I looked up to as a mentor. YALL AINT GONNA BELIEVE THIS NEXT SHIT!!!!!
Started crying and pouring my https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart"> out. Told him everything before i could utter the name he knew who i was talking about. So this must’ve been going on for years I thought. To the end of this part, my manager, the man I looked up to did nothing I was devastated & heartbroken
But that definitely didn’t stop me! I immediately hated him afterwards & never spoke to him again. I then went around the office and asked the ladies if they had issues and a lot of them mentioned the same thing I was going through. Asking for dates, and sexual innuendos.
I had 3 women write statements and sign the docs I made, walked my black ass over to HR & had a meeting. One woman was white and the other woman was black. Yet again, getting emotional I poured my heart out showing them everything I had!
The white woman, let’s call her Karen spoke the whole time. She basically told me I shouldn’t have initiated a conversation & her words of advice was to block him. My eyes darted to the black woman, let’s call her kisha...kisha said nothing.
I walked out. Didn’t let anyone finish speaking...OH YALL THOUGHT I WAS DONE?! I went to the VP of the floor & at this point I’m pissed. Speaking w. him, the supervisor was fired, the manager already found a new job that week so couldn’t fire him & kisha quit because of karma
Anyway the point I’m trying to make is don’t ever let anyone silence you. What has happened was never your fault and don’t ever stop from getting justice.
