Last week, R. Kelly’s ex-girlfriend, Lisa Van Allen, sat down with Vlad TV and claimed R. Kelly told her he had a secret affair with the late singer Aaliyah’s mother.
According to TMZ.com, insiders from R. Kelly’s team say the rumor is a flat out lie.
“Sources close to R. Kelly say he absolutely denies he and Diane Haughton had anything but a friendly relationship,” TMZ.com said. “We’re told Kelly believes the only reason Van Allen made those claims in the Vlad TV interview is to further smear his name and grab headlines for herself.”
In other R. Kelly news, a judge ruled on Friday that that cameras will be allowed during the trial and pre-trial hearings for R. Kelly’s case. Accusers can’t be filmed or photographed without their permission.
The next hearing is set for March 22.
