Weeks after he was charged with 10 counts of criminal sexual abuse, another VHS tape of R. Kelly engaging in sexual acts with underage girls has surfaced.
Attorney Gloria Allred, who is also representing other R. Kelly accusers, held a press conference today (Mar. 10) with the man who found and submitted the tape, Gary Dennis. According to TMZ, Dennis said he discovered the tape while going through his own collection of VHS tapes. He said he watched it and saw a man that strongly resembles R. Kelly engaging in sexual acts with multiple teenage girls, He claims to have no connection to Kelly and has no clue as to how the tape ended up in his possession. Dennis said it looks like it was filmed in the 90’s.
“I thought it was a recording of an R. Kelly concert. I watched the sports on the tape and then continued to watch what I thought would be an R. Kelly concert,” Dennis said during the press conference. “To my shock and surprise, R. Kelly appeared to be on the tape but not in concert. Instead, he was sexually abusing underage African American girls. He was telling them what to do and what to say, and it appeared that he was in control of the camera. In addition, he was engaging with these children in sexually abusive acts. He appeared to be in command of the girls and they looked as though they were just saying and doing what he told them to do.”
Allred has turned over the tape to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York.
Attorney Michael Avenatti of Chicago already submitted two different tapes of R. Kelly allegedly engaging in sexual acts with underage girls, one of them which led to his recent indictment.
Kelly was arrested and charged on February 22nd and was later bailed out a woman named Valencia Love three days later. He returned to jail days later due to owing over $161,000 in child support. He was released yesterday (Mar. 9) after an anonymous person paid his outstanding balance. The 52-year-old will return to court Wednesday for his child support case while he is due in court on March 22nd for his criminal charges.

If you were making a list of the all-time great female captains in science fiction, then Kate Mulgrew’s Captain Kathryn Janeway could easily earn a top spot. The brave commander of Star Trek: Voyager took to Twitter to show support for Brie Larson’s turn as Captain Marvel.
To #captainmarvel from #captainjaneway – we know a thing or two about saving the galaxy, don’t we? My best to @brielarson on her trailblazing role. Enjoy going Higher, Further, Faster. Great to see a female-led superhero movie today of all days. Warp speed ahead! 💫🌟🚀🌠 pic.twitter.com/CVqhChsic5

I’m in shock thank you!!

Mulgrew, who just wrapped the final season of Orange Is the New Black , was a major role model and heroine to a generation of geeky girls (and boys). It’s delightful to see her passing the torch from one Captain to another. Janeway was the first ever female captain in the Star Trek universe, with Voyager running for seven seasons on UPN (remember UPN?!) from 1995-2001. Janeway was last seen in the 2002 feature film Star Trek: Nemesis, where she had been promoted to admiral.
Now that OITNB is finished, and CBS All Access continues to launch new shows set in the Star Trek universe, it’s time for a Janeway spin-off series. After all, if Picard can get his own show, why not give Janeway a shot?

Is your stock imagery suffering from a lack of diversity? Adobe has a solution. The company recently teamed up with three stock agencies; TONL, Mocha Stock, and Diversity Photos to help expand their catalog of diverse stock photos and images. This was done in an effort to replace pictures containing harmful stereotypes with depictions of people of color (POC) that are more nuanced and inclusive. Their hope is to amplify these agencies’ collections dedicated to authentically portraying all ethnicities and cultures.
“Photographers see the world in ways that are unique to their own diverse experiences, and those perspectives are incredibly valuable,” Debbie Grossman, manager, strategic business development, Adobe Stock Premium told BLACK ENTERPRISE in a statement. “We focus on sourcing diverse content for two reasons: one, because it realistically depicts the world we live in, and two, because customers demand it. Customers have been asking for diverse content for years, but the content that gets produced doesn’t always speak to both diversity and authenticity. Unfortunately, it tends to be tokenistic. But at Adobe Stock, we care particularly about sourcing content from a diversity of creators who can represent their own communities in more genuine and positive ways.”
When asked why they decided to partner with Adobe, Karen Okonkwo, co-founder of TONL replied that, “access is crucial for imagery to reach everyone. By having our images on Adobe Stock, it allows POC working for various organizations to see a credible outlet hosting our imagery, which will enable more consumers to use our images in their professional work settings and hopefully beyond that.”
The partnership came about when Adobe became familiar with TONL’s work and reached out to them to collaborate. “We valued Adobe’s approach and their level of professionalism and authenticity,” continued Okonkwo. “Additionally, we are users of Adobe’s creative tools, so it seemed like the perfect partnership to embark on.”

Adobe admitted that sourcing diverse content can be extremely difficult, thus this is why these partnerships came about. “We are lucky in that, in part because of Adobe’s commitment to both diversity and creators, we are able to partner exclusively with diversity-focused stock companies such as Diversity Photos, TONL and Mocha Stock. These are all enterprises which are focused on improving diversity and representation in stock,” said Grossman.
