After the #TimesUp movement decided to start the #MuteRKelly campaign as a statement against his sexual harassment allegations, the singer is now coming after the media claiming it’s attempting to destroy his legacy.

In a statement Friday he says he’s “heartbroken” by the accusations and calls himself “a God-fearing man, a son, a brother, and most importantly a father.” He adds the media “has dissected and manipulated these false allegations.”

Kelly was acquitted of child pornography charges in Chicago in 2008, but speculation about his alleged sexual misconduct has continued.
