On this episode of The Joy Reid Show we look back at the 1990's. Many of us have fond, nostalgic memories of that era, but for countless people who had aspirations of someday becoming famous, it was a time of exploitation, abuse, and sexual violence.
Our guests for the night are Katie Phang, Paul Butler, Lev Parnas, Ellie Leonard as well as Reshona Landfair, the then 14-year-old-girl in the child pornography video that ultimately led to R. Kelly's arrest. Reshona joins us to discuss her new book "Who's Watching Shorty?" A copy of which can be purchased from our shop: https://shop.thejoyreidshow.com/products/whos-watching-shorty-reclaiming-myself-from-the-shame-of-r-kellys-abuse
