R Kelly manager goes on trial over documentary screening gun threat
22.07.2022 - 14:21 / completemusicupdate.com
The trial of R Kelly’s former manager Donnell Russell, on charges of threatening a cinema that was screening Lifetime’s ‘Surviving R Kelly’ documentary, has begun in New York.Attended by several of Kelly’s accusers, the screening at New York’s NeueHouse Madison Square complex was evacuated in December 2018 after someone called the police, fire department, New York City information service and the venue itself saying that they were going to “shoot up the place”. Although police did not consider these credible threats, they still called a halt to the event.Russell denies making any of these phone calls, although the trial focusses specifically on calls made to the venue itself.Prosecutors say that Russell made a number of calls to the venue on the day of the planned screening of the documentary, in an effort to have it called off.
In one call, it is claimed, he told the venue that by using R Kelly’s name the film was infringing the singer’s copyright. His final effort to have the event called off, it is claimed, was to make the call threatening violence.Russell’s legal reps argue that, as there is no recording of the incriminating call, there is no way a jury could say whether or not it was him who made it.However, prosecutors say that phone records show that Russell called the venue nine times on the day of the event.
He also sent a text message to a female accomplice who was inside the venue telling her that police may be arriving soon, shortly before they did as a result of the gun threat. He later asked the woman to delete that text, although she did not.This is not the only legal case against Russell, who was arrested alongside two other men in 2020, accused of attempting to intimidate witnesses in Kelly’s sexual

New York prosecutors want R Kelly’s jail money to cover unpaid fines
Prosecutors in New York are seeking to take funds out of R Kelly’s prison inmate account to cover outstanding fines in relation to his conviction last year of running a criminal enterprise in order to abuse women and teenagers.Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in jail earlier this year following last year’s guilty verdict in the first of several criminal cases against the singer, who – of course – has been accused of sexual and physical abuse by numerous women, and some men.In addition to the jail term, Kelly was also ordered to $140,000 in fines. As yet, no payments have been made, which has prompted prosecutors to request that the fines now be taken out of monies Kelly has accrued while in prison.That money sits in an account managed by the Bureau Of Prisons and can be used by prisoners to buy snacks and other items, or things like access to email or a phone, while incarcerated.

Bruce Springsteen’s manager responds to criticism about ticket prices

The system responds to demand and so increases or decreases prices in line with what “scalpers” – a person who re-sells a ticket for profit – would sell them for, keeping the money in-house for the seller and artist.The system also sees increase with demand for certain “platinum tickets”, which are placed throughout each venue.Now, Springsteen’s manager has responded to the backlash to the prices.
