(CNN) Allegations of abuse and sexual misconduct against R&B artist R. Kelly are in the spotlight again as a six-part documentary series reignites public outrage. The three-night Lifetime series, "Surviving R. Kelly," brings together Kelly's accusers and inner circle to detail the artist's life that the network described as "riddled with rumors of abuse, predatory behavior, and pedophilia." Thursday's premiere episodes revisited the previous accusations against Kelly through interviews with accusers, witnesses and those who were close to Kelly. "The allegations against Mr. Kelly are false, and are being made by individuals known to be dishonest. "The survivors who bravely sat with me for this docuseries know all to well what R. Kelly is capable of, every one of them has stories of being abused and controlled by him."
