york, still awaiting charges of rape in a federal case in los angeles. i believe the eastern district of new york will turn around and indict some of these enablers, but, you know, is it going to be the people that should be held toaccount? jive records made by my account half a billion dollars off of kelly. jive no longer exists. it s founder sits on an island in the sun, having made billions of dollars selling the company. but they were sued by the very first girl who tried to bring kelly to account. she was 15 in 191. she s the first documented victim. before aaliyah, she was one of aaliyah s backup singers. they were sued for $10 million by this girl who only got $250,000. jive records knew. a lot of people knew. she sued them this happened before he married
aaliyah at age 15, but they kept her lawsuit came just after the aaliyah marriage. there were three backup singers who were best friends of aaliyah. they were all 15-year-olds. a girl from the south side of chicago who is suddenly behind her best friendamsterdam, and k sexually victimized all of those young girls and aaliyah and jive produced his records, year after year. kristen, this is one of the first major trials where a very powerful man s accusers are mostly black women and girls. and many weren t believed for decades. how huge is this moment? this is huge, stephanie. because not only is this very wealthy, powerful person being held to account, but as you and jim both pointed out, the accusers are all black women, pretty much. i m sorry, black women and men.

magazine. you had michelle obama speak yesterday, mary j. blige. but the fact that you have presidential candidates coming to this event and being able to speak on the stage, people coming and taking time out of the music and arts to listen to the presidential candidates, it s notable that you have that and they have that attention. this is an event that brings in hundreds of thousands of people into new orleans in this room alone i m told there s 7,000 people. so it was a big audience that many of these candidates were able to speak to and pitch themselves directly to. 7,000 people, pretty impressive indeed. the background there behind shaq says power and it shows the power of this music festival when you have so many people, so many presidential candidates there. shaq brewster, appreciate it. love your backup singers. thank you. joining me right now is kristin hahn, the democratic party strategist and former communications director for blue dog democrats, and dean obeidallah, host
