John Singleton is weighing in on the R. Kelly controversy, claiming that comparisons between Kelly and Bill Cosby are simply not fair.

Singleton told TMZ that Kelly was “not misunderstood” and seemed to downplay the story, saying, “He has a bunch of girlfriends. You know, a lot of people have a bunch of girlfriends.”

He continued on to say, “The women that he’s with are adult women, and they made decisions to be with him. You know they know what they’re getting into, so I don’t see what the controversy is really about.”

He said that Kelly does not deserve to be treated like Cosby “at all” and said “that’s a whole different situation.”
