RAPPER NELLY BRINGS OUT CLEVELAND KIDNAP VICTIM AMANDA BERRY ON STAGE WITH HIM

It's so good to see that she is getting back to living, One of three women held captive in a Cleveland home for a decade appeared on stage at a concert yesterday alongside rapper Nelly - her first public event since her rescue, which came a day after her abductor pleaded guilty.

Amanda Berry made a surprise appearance at the day-long concert RoverFest in Cleveland on Saturday night, walking on stage with her family and waving at the cheering crowd before reemerging later again to join rapper Nelly.

Wearing sunglasses and dressed in jeans and a black T-shirt, Berry smiled broadly while acknowledging the applause, but she didn't address the crowd. 

Her appearance was notable at least on a symbolic level: Riding a pair of monster hits, Nelly's star was burning brightest just before Berry's sudden disappearance into captivity at age 16 in April 2003.

"He said, 'Everyone, here's Amanda Berry,' and she came out with a friend, another young woman," concertgoer Kayleigh Fladung told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "She didn't say anything, but she was smiling and happy. She waved to the crowd, everyone went crazy cheering, and she went backstage. Nelly did his set, four or five songs, and then he brought her out again and everyone cheered."

Berry, now 27, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight disappeared between 2002 and 2004 when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. 

The possibility of Berry participating in a grueling trial was voided Friday as Castro accepted a plea bargain for life in prison without parole plus 1,000 years -- a sum intended to ensure that Castro, 52, would die behind bars. The death penalty was waived as part of the deal.

In comments to a judge Friday,  piece of SH**T Castro blamed a pornography addiction and mentioned being sexually abused as a child.

The women didn't attend the court proceeding but said in a statement that they were relieved by the conviction and looking forward to the end of the legal proceedings.
