We havent really seen Ms. Kiely Williams very much after the last Cheetah Girls Movie. So on Tuesday the singer/actress premiered her video Spectacular.
In the video, Kiely is shot at a bar taking shots with a suitor whom she ends up having a shameless one-night-stand. The lyrics—written by Williams— include lines such as: "Last I remember I was face down/Ass up, clothes off, broke off, dozed off/Even though I’m not sure of his name/He could get it again if he wanted." The video and song gained Williams plenty of backlash from critics who thought it to be too strikingly salacious, advocating promiscuity and unprotected sex.
Williams also went through a list of other female celebrities who she feels created controversial art with metaphoric meaning. "Are Lady Gaga and Beyonce advocating murder with the 'Telephone' video? Of, course not. Was Rihanna encouraging suicide with 'Russian Roulette?' No. Was Madonna suggesting that young unmarried girls get pregnant with 'Papa Don’t Preach?' I don’t think so. Is Academy Award winner Mo'Nique a proponent of incest because of her portrayal of Mary in the movie 'Precious?' Clearly, the answer is no." she says. "I wrote 'Spectacular' and made the video to bring attention to a serious women’s health and safety issue. Don’t shoot the messenger."
