Imagine if God judged us the way we judge others.... Everyone deserves Grace, Thank you❤️

[Mychannel-tkkl]

She’s one of the authentic artists that I’ve ever seen that stood up for something we should have all be doing, ,,,we all need to be forgiven Rihanna did and she moved on, ,,love you Kelly ❤

Your forgiveness is not for Chris Brown or anyone else, It’s for you and you only. If we can’t forgive others then we cannot expect God to forgive us.

Wow!!! Not a fan of Chris Brown but she was on point. We all fall short but so judgmental of other people when they do. Like she said, it wasn’t right what he did but it was so 14years ago and people should move on from it. How long do people have to dwell on the past? Rihanna has moved on and people should do same too

She spoke very calmly and purposefully. She said it well, we all need grace and remember to be human. We all truly fall short no matter what

[darrylwilliams]

She's so correct we all make mistakes ain't nobody perfect in this world but forgiveness goes a long way and if you can't forgive others how can you forgive yourself

[chanaragaskins]

She is a vessel that has spoken for an Angel that has fallen a few times .. on earth we make mistakes that’s what makes us human

[Ready]

Thank you, Kelly … The world needs more people like you ❤

[dorisdiggs]

Amen!! Speak Kelly. People are so quick to point a finger at other people’s mistakes. God said, “Forgive, so you can be forgiven.” Not forgiving can hinder our prayers. We need God’s covering over us and our family.
Lord, I repent of my sins known and unknown. I ask for forgiveness on this 11-22-22 day. I thank You for Your grace and Your mercy which is new everyday!

Why I'm not buying this?
1) She never stood up for Rihanna's abuse all these years, yet she did for Chris Brown's performance.
2) Remember that Kelly is best friend with Beyonce and there were rumours for beef between Bey and Rih. And, all of a sudden, she stood up for Chris Brown that hit Rihanna. If he hit a woman of her circle would she have the same "grace"? I smell lies and double standards.
3) That gives me the impression that they don't like Rihanna at all for some reason.
4) Ciara didn't have a beef with Rihanna? And suddenly she is standing up Chris Brown? Anyways both of their careers combined don't get to where Rihanna is.

Why do people act like Chris has ONLY assualted Rihanna. How many settlements has he paid since Rihanna? He also discriminated against black women saying they don't have good hair in his own lyrics. I don't care why Kelly cares so much. Karrueche even said he pushed her down the stairs. Their neighbour said she would hear Karrueche screaming and crying.

Preach Kelly♥️
I’m not even a huge Chris Brown fan but what she said was all facts, everyone deserves some grace and Rihanna forgave so please let us all learn from this

[MrKorayDugencili]

She’s truly an amazing person and artist

[galwaygirl]

Always said always will this women is truly a angel!

[gaila.]

All this has made me love Kelly Rowland even more.

[danielleraymond]

Dude is an abuser and not just Rihanna. It’s disappointing how easily people put aside the horrible things celebrities do just because they have fame and people idolize them .

[MsPedrojobim]

AHhH next! Not another black women forgiving a man that has not hit her! the audacity of saying he needs to be forgiven. Damn. She sounded like a pastor who takes money from people and laughed at their backs.

[reddnewmillennium]

She speaking Bible! I love Kelly never thought I’ll say that lol but everyone deserves grace and forgiveness she’s right.

[anthonygoudy]

I like the way she stood up for Chris 🎯

[jhordanjones]

She’s not lying in this day an age we’ve seen worse by those who AREN’T FAMOUS and THEY’RE BEING “PROTECTED”. Let that man grace us with his talents! Billboard please give this performance the light of day it DESERVES!!!!
