Direct quote from Aaliyah's Mother

"The woman and so-called back up singer in the forthcoming "Surviving..." documentary that describes seeing, meeting or ever breathing the same air as my daughter, Aaliyah, is lying and is a liar. My husband and I were always on tour with her and at interviews and every place she went throughout her entire career. Whoever this woman is, I have never seen her before anywhere on planet earth, until now.

These lies and fabrications cannot be tolerated and allowed to be spewed from the forked tongues of saboteurs of Aaliyah's legacy. My daughter only wanted to realize her dream of sharing her talent with the world, and give her all performing on stage, and in front of the camera for the fans she adored so much. She realized that dream, thanks to those true fans who still love and support her legacy unconditionally to this day.

Shame on all those involved in this project who thought it kosher to drag Aaliyah's name into a situation that has nothing to do with her today. Once again, this will not be tolerated.

Sincerely,

Diane Haughton"

⚠️IMPORTANT MESSAGE⚠️

Hi Team Aaliyah, It has come to our attention that Aaliyah’s Mother Diane Haughton has reached out to a fan as a call of action for the 'Special Ones' (As she so lovingly calls us) with this direct quote in response to the “#Lifetime Surviving R.Kelly” Documentary.

Please forward this message and quote to anyone and everyone you know via all your social media platforms, websites, blogs etc… It is urgent that we do this ASAP as the documentary is set to air on the 4th January. ‘Lietime’ did it once, and yet again they’re still trying the most smh…🤦🏽‍♀️

With #Aaliyah not being able to defend herself, WE as a fanbase need to ALL come together and show them that we ain’t come to play, and neither has Mama Diane. With #Aaliyah in our hearts, let’s defend and honour her precious name, which they really need to keep out of their foul mouths! 💁🏽‍♀️

Here is the original source of what the documentary entails…
