Im glad he finally got caught and now there is repercussions. But I do feel bad for his wife and kids.
Just to be clear, I haven't heard anything about him being sexually abusive. Everything I've heard is about him being physically abusive and racist. He repeatedly hit a costume designer during a project because she kept "touching him". It was because she was trying to get him fitted and dressed. She was the one that reported it and she ended up being transferred to another project which he stayed. Crews have claimed that he's very verbally abusive and a bully.
That doesn't mean that he didn't also do something creepy in addition. That's just what I've read.

Federal prosecutors recommend R. Kelly be sentenced to more than 25 years in prison
Federal prosecutors in New York recommended that disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly be sentenced to more than 25 years in prison, citing his "decades of crime" and a "callous disregard for the very real effects that his crimes had on his victims," according to a sentencing memorandum filed Wednesday.
They also recommended Kelly should be fined between $50,000 to $250,000, according to the document.
Kelly, whose full name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, was convicted in September of racketeering, including acts of bribery and sexual exploitation of a child, and of separate charges of sex trafficking.
In their filing this week, prosecutors argued Kelly showed no remorse for what he did, and that his actions were fueled by a belief that his "musical talent absolved him of any need to conform his conduct -- no matter how predatory, harmful, humiliating or abusive to others -- to the strictures of the law."
I thought he was already incarcerated long ago. Just shows you how much I pay attention to celebrity stuff other than things like the Depp vs. Heard trial.
My heart bleeds for him. Oh wait, no it doesn't. I'll never forget how this asshole acted during the whole Dixie Chicks/George W. thing. Sorry, not sorry for not caring about him.

Ryan Grantham, the Canadian actor who pleaded guilty to killing his mother earlier in 2022, also allegedly plotted to kill Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, according to the CBC.
On March 31, 2020, Grantham, 24, who was featured in Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Riverdale, shot his mother, Barbara Waite, in the back of the head while she was playing the piano.
The day following the murder of his mother, Grantham loaded his car with guns, ammunition, Molotov cocktails, and printed directions to Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, where Trudeau lives with his family.
According to Complex, the actor drove to Hope, British Columbia but changed course and turned himself in in Vancouver.
?Mr. Grantham said, ?I killed my mum,? Crown prosecutor Michaela Donnelly said, as reported by Complex. ?Police immediately arrested him.?
He pleaded to second degree murder, which carries a life sentence, the British Columbia Prosecution Service told PEOPLE.
The CBC reported that Grantham rehearsed how he would kill his mother on video and recorded footage immediately after the shooting where he confessed to murder.
?He put the crosshairs on the back of her head, closed his eyes, and pulled the trigger,? Crown prosecutor Michaela Donnelly said during the trial, Complex reported.
Grantham?s sister, Lisa, found their mother on April 1.
"She was vulnerable, and Ryan gave her no chance to defend herself. It pains me to know he was a danger to her life," she said, according to Complex.
US Weekly reported that during the trial, Grantham apologized for his actions.
?I cannot explain or justify my actions. I have no excuse,? the former actor said while reading a statement. ?It hurts me to think about how badly I?ve wasted my life? In the face of something so horrible, saying sorry seems so pointless. But from every fiber of my being, I am sorry.?
During the trial, Grantham?s attorney argued he was experiencing an ?intense period of clinical depression? leading up to the murder, according to the CBC. Grantham was having thoughts of violence and allegedly killed his mother to ?spare her from seeing the violence he intended to commit?.
According to the BC Prosecution Service, a second-degree murder carries a mandatory life sentence. According to the CBC, under the Criminal Code of Canada, a person convicted of second-degree murder is eligible for parole after a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 25 years.
