R. Kelly says surviving childhood abuse has not affected his behavior

In his first interview since he was jailed last month, R. Kelly says the charges of aggravated criminal sexual abuse are all lies. The singer spoke with "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King for nearly 80 minutes Tuesday. He strongly denied having sex with underage girls or doing anything illegal. King asked Kelly about his rough childhood and his story of surviving years of sexual abuse. He also discussed how the allegation against him could affect his personal life and career. Jericka Duncan, who has covered the allegations of abuse against R. Kelly, also weighs in.

The parents are not in the clear here. There are NO allegations of kidnapp about R.Kelly not one ever. That's not a coincidence. So that means the parents of these underage girls are at fault also in my eyes. They know what they were doing. Not like he took your daughters. The parents had to approve of their daughter being with R. Kelly initially. That's R.Kelly an individual that already had a pass with these types of allegations and you (the parents) gonna let your child be alone with him. 🤯🔫

Yeah, this is really sad. I can’t even be mad or make fun of him at this point. He was abused by his older sister from age 7-15 years old. It clearly destroyed him mentally, and created a anger/need for power and control over women. He became famous and rich, and it got way out of control.

[@Kenya.Kay.MBA...]

@@BeeetchImStacia Unfortunately in this age the of 24 hour news cycle, they will be hard pressed to find jurors who haven't heard of this case, previous cases against him, allegations, documentaries, or this interview. Just so you know, a potential juror may not be stricken simply because they've seen this interview or heard of this case. They will be asked if they can set aside what they've seen and heard and make a decision based solely on the facts presented in evidence. I understand how the voir dire process works. You clearly don't. Both sides have a limited number of peremptory challenges (eliminating jurors based on a hunch about their percieved bias) therefore the goal is not to remove EVERY person whose heard of this case, but to ensure impartiality in the minds of the jurors. So...It's not as simple as some here have suggested. He's clearly a narcissist who believes he can convince people of his innocence, hince this disaster of an interview. So yes, this interview was a terrible idea. Prosecutors can use this footage as evidence, even if he never takes the stand. This is testimony, any good lawyer would have advised against this. However, it's still his choice to speak out. What does he have to lose at this point? He wants sympathy.

R Kelly should not be conducting any interviews, or, speaking to the press, or reporters, period. They don't need to hear your side of the story, keep your mouth, shut.

Sad when the abused become abusers themselves. It does not justify it in my opinion. Being abused can show you who you truly are, either you rise above it and discover you're genuinely a good person. Or you lose the good part of yourself, your humanity and become an abuser yourself.

[@jessicarenae5107]

*You can lie, deflect, deny for as long as you possibly can but when you do such horrible things to ppl, the truth will come out eventually!! And when you experience abuse growing up, you learn from and you make your own choice to either follow that behavior or to never allow yourself to!! I'm blessed to never have gone through this kind of abuse, so I can't understand completely. But, I have been through other kinds of abuse and bc I know the amount pain and torture that is, I couldn't dare ever putting anyone through that!! I feel blessed in a big way, bc of the things I've been through, that I am a very empathetic person and I can't stand seeing ppl being hurt!! It's just a choice you've gotta make!*

[@porchiaporchia5518]

I pray he gets help! He has some serious issues! The reality is he is going to prison and now he sees it based on his actions in his present and past.

[@DivineDisciple7]

All this is. Is a man with two girl friends of legal status in an open world and relationship. Chicago dating is 17. The girls testify. Then its a wrap. There is no proof that he has mistreated these women by physical abuse. Manipulation and all that non physical stuff is not going to fly in court. People get used and manipulated every day. I thought he was going to say he beat them and threw them in a basement. Smh bye This is not exciting

[@johnlarson9246]

If Convicted He’s going to Prison. He’s going to get all the help he needs. Tree jumpers get special treatment from other convicts. I hope that he gets a cell next to Jarred from Subway. Another piece of Human Debris.

[@kkibela]

Wow prison... Well...

[@lopezcrys404]

People will sometimes try to convince you of things you might not have done and when they are persistent... its they much harder.

[@73ehu]

The difference in his behavior now on interviews compared to before....he’s more emotional and less arrogant/not walking out of interviews....is that it’s about to get real and he knows that he’s facing eminent jail time and he’s powerless resource-wise. Desperation can force the most arrogant amongst us to be humble.
