Lifetime partnered with RAINN to show the hotline number on-screen to encourage sexual assault survivors and their loved ones to seek help.
New installments of Lifetime’s searing documentary series “Surviving R. Kelly” led to a 40% increase in calls Friday and Saturday to the National Sexual Assault Hotline, according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, which administers the counseling resource.
“It’s amazing to know the documentary has encouraged important and necessary conversations to happen and we are extremely proud of our survivors for their courage, who by standing up for themselves, stand for so much more,” Brie Miranda Bryant, Lifetime’s senior vice president for unscripted programing, said in a statement Tuesday.
Last week’s follow-up series explored the impact of the initial series, and told the stories of women who have come forward in the last year.
