On Thursday, the supermodel wrote an emotional post where she slammed the disgraced R&B singer as a “predator” who is “far worse than [fellow alleged abuser] Harvey Weinstein.”

The 26-year-old exclaimed:
“I finished the Surviving R Kelly documentary last night and I am so shocked and outraged at how long this has gone on. My heart goes out to all the victims of his emotional and physical abuse and their families.
This man is a predator that feeds of power and in my opinion is far worse than Harvey Weinstein and needs to be held accountable. I am not trying to compare the two, my point is, Harvey is being investigated and R Kelly is not.
We have ourselves to blame in this situation, I knew of the allegations but failed to try and understand the severity of the situation. I still continued to listen to his music. Stop separating art from the artist, just because he sings like an angel, doesn’t mean he is one.
I still want to applaud @johnlegend @keke @vincestaples @chancetherapper @jadapinkettsmith @ladygaga for continuing the conversation. I really hope that more musicians stand up against this monster #MuteRKelly #MeToo #blackgirlslivesmatter”
[It’s important to note that following the premiere of Lifetime‘s Surviving R. Kelly, the singer is currently under investigation in the state of Georgia.]
The next day, the Paper Towns actress revealed she lost social media followers after her anti-Kelly post — a LOT of followers. But she isn’t sweating it too much.
While posting a pic presumably from the set of her 2017 movie Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, she wrote:
“This is me realizing I lost more than 50,000 followers yesterday after posting about @rkelly Every time I say something real, something I truly believe, something others may think of as controversial, something that makes people think and ask questions, I lose followers. The followers I lose clearly don’t agree with what I have to say, people that support the ideas and actions of others who are moving backwards and not forwards.
In 2019, I want to be more confrontational. Confrontation IS NOT VIOLENCE btw, it’s communication. Something I still struggle with. I have always been taught to avoid confrontation at all costs, which caused me to be silent most of my life, silence causes suppression and suppression causes sickness. Not anymore! Goodbye silence and backwards followers, hello confrontation and forward thinkers. It’s going to be a loud year xxx #MuteRKelly”
50K followers?? Wow. That is a lot of people standing by R. Kelly.
The musician, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, has denied all allegations of misconduct.
All gazillion of them.
