The December 2018 documentary premiere had a live panel discussion that was to include several women featured in the documentary. The phone threat of someone with a gun prompted an emergency call to police, who ordered an evacuation that forced the premier to be cancelled. In closing arguments, Assistant U.S. Attorney Lara Pomerantz told jurors that evidence of Russell's guilt was overwhelming.
She said phone records proved that a call to the small theater came from Russell's Chicago home after he'd spent the day trying to stop Lifetime's"Surviving R. Kelly" series from being shown. The effort included nine calls to the theater and a threat to sue, the prosecutor said.
