Angela Rye is catching heat for defending her friend and radio personality, Charlamagne Tha God, after a rape accusation from 2001 resurfaced last week. When a fan asked for her opinion about the accusations she had this to say on Instagram:
Since you opted to post about TWO different incidents and described neither of them accurately on my Jesus conference post, sure.
My BROTHER is neither a molester nor a rapist. He never drugged anyone. He never touched the girl. Read more about the incident from 2001 in his book Black Privilege and note that he regrets having a party where underaged folks were drinking when he was young and dumb that’s the ONLY thing he pled to…why? Because there was no physical evidence connecting him to the girl. Why? Because he never touched her.
I truly pray for her piece of mind. Truly. However, she will not “come up” on my brother off a lie. I stand for truth before I stand for anything else. God bless you and your family.
Twitter users are now criticizing Angela for taking up for her friend instead of believing what his victim had to say. Take a look at some of the reactions below.
The sad part about Angela Rye caping for Charlamagne is that she's the one more likely to face consequences for siding with him than he will for his self-admitted abusive and criminal behavior.

Sometimes it’s better to shut the fuck up instead of leaping in the fire wit a mf. Angela Rye shoulda did just that

Is Angela wrong for defending her friend? Or do you think she should’ve stayed out of it?
