A recent article by The Village Voice asks if R. Kelly is getting a pass as a sexual predator and details the accusations against him in disturbing detail.
An excerpt from the article said:
“The [accusations] were stomach churning. The one young woman, who had been 14 or 15 when R. Kelly began a relationship with her, detailed in great length, in her affidavits, a sexual relationship that began at Kenwood Academy: He would go back in the early years of his success and go to Lina McLin’s gospel choir class. He would go to her sophomore class and hook up with girls afterward. Sometimes buy them a pair of sneakers. Sometimes just letting them hang out in his presence in the recording studio. She detailed the sexual relationship that she was scarred by. It lasted about one and a half to two years, and then he dumped her and she slit her wrists, tried to kill herself. Other girls were involved. She recruited other girls.”
R. Kelly responded while speaking with Big Tigger during an interview on Atlanta’s V 103 FM morning show.
“Well I feel like I got the football, man, I’m running towards the touchdown and stopping and looking back, mess around, I’ll get tackled,” Kelly said. “As you know, when you get on top of anything, it’s very windy up there.”
