Self-described manager and advisor to R&B singer R. Kelly pleaded guilty Tuesday in a Brooklyn federal court to interstate stalking a victim in Kelly's racketeering case.  Donnell Russell, a 47-year-old Chicago resident, was accused of using "mail, phones and the internet" to "harass and intimidate" Kelly's victim along with her mother between November 2018 and February 2020, according to a statement released by the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. He could face up to five years in prison following his Nov.

R Kelly’s former manager Donnell Russell was found guilty on Friday of threatening physical harm by interstate communication in relation to a phone call he made to a New York cinema in late 2018 in a successful bid to stop a screening of the documentary ‘Surviving R Kelly’. The guilty verdict came at the end of a short trial that began last week in the New York courts.The December 2018 screening at the NeueHouse Madison Square complex was called off after an anonymous man made phone calls to both emergency services and the cinema itself to the effect that he would “shoot up the place” if the film was shown.

R. Kelly’s manager was convicted Friday of making a phone threat that gunfire was about to occur at a crowded Manhattan theater preparing to show a documentary about the singer’s sexual abuse of women and girls. The jury convicted Donnell Russell of threatening physical harm through interstate communication, but it exonerated him on a conspiracy count.

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.

The trial of R. Kelly’s manager began Tuesday over charges that he forced the cancellation of a 2018 screening of the "Surviving R. Kelly" documentary about the singer’s sexual abuse of women and girls by calling in an active shooter threat to the packed New York theater.  Donnell Russell is on trial for allegedly phoning the NeueHouse Madison Square on Dec.
