Lisa Van Allen, who appeared in the documentary Surviving R. Kelly, says she has doubts about recent posts attributed to Joycelyn Savage, a woman publicly linked to R Kelly. Van Allen shared her thoughts on TMZ Live on Monday.
On Friday, an Instagram account in Savage’s name said she was ending a two year break from social media and had partnered with Patreon to share her story in a series of posts. The caption said, “I am risking my life for many others.” The caption also warned that the story was for a mature audience.
Van Allen told TMZ Live that parts of the posts did not add up to her. She questioned who would be managing Savage’s finances now that Kelly is in custody, and said it seemed strange that Savage had still not contacted her family after claiming Kelly had kept her from them. According to Van Allen, those points made her wonder whether Savage is truly speaking freely.
Van Allen added that she does believe Savage was mistreated, but she questions whether the posts reflect Savage speaking for herself.
Kelly has denied the allegations made against him and has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges. Baller Alert has not independently verified who is behind the Instagram account, and Savage had not responded to Van Allen’s comments at the time of publication.
