Kelly sits in jail over alleged unpaid child support while King's interview with the singer and his live-in girlfriends, Azriel Clary and Joycelyn Savage, airs.
By Elahe Izadi Elahe Izadi Pop culture writer Email Bio Follow March 7 at 8:51 AM Hours after the world watched singer R. Kelly explode during his first interview after his arrest for sex abuse, the embattled R&B singer sits in a jail cell.
“How could I pay child support if my ex-wife is destroying my name and I can’t work?" he said."How can I work, how can I get paid, how can I take care of my kids?” In 2017 BuzzFeed article by journalist Jim DeRogatis — who has chronicled Kelly’s alleged behavior for years —former girlfriends and other associates described Kelly as controlling the movements and lives of a group of live-in sexual partners, including when they could eat and use the bathroom. The parents of the women said they believed their daughters had been brainwashed, with one parent describing the situation as “a cult.
“Both our parents are basically out here trying to get money and scam, because they didn’t agree on what happened, you know, with music or whatever it could be," Savage said. “And they’re just very upset.” “We have never received a penny from R. Kelly. We never asked R. Kelly for money," Clary’s parents said in a statement released Wednesday through by their lawyer, Michael Avenatti."And we never ‘sold’ our daughter to him or anyone else.”
