Sony Corp.'s RCA music label has scrubbed R. Kelly from its lineup after a documentary series renewed the furor surrounding allegations of criminal sexual misconduct.

As of Friday morning, R. Kelly was no longer featured on RCA’s website. Billboard reported that the artist and Sony had agreed to part ways in the wake of the Lifetime series “Surviving R. Kelly,” which included accounts from his alleged victims.

Representatives for Sony didn't respond to requests for comment from Bloomberg, and R. Kelly couldn't immediately be reached.

Once a best-selling artist, R. Kelly has been gradually isolated by the entertainment industry.
