R. Kelly Opens Up - Wide!
Filed under: R. Kelly
OMG!!!
Did you see it????
R. Kelly is finally speaking out about the child pornography trial he endured a few months ago.
On Tuesday, BET aired a pre-taped interview with the troubled singer.
BET news journalist Toure didn't hold anything back and asked him about his alleged weakness for teenaged girls.
Here's how the exchange played out:
Toure: Let me ask you something real that millions of Americans are thinking about and wondering about you. Do you like teenage girls?
Kelly: When you say teenage, how old are we talking?
Toure: Girls who are teenagers.
Kelly: 19?
Toure: 19 and younger.
Kelly: I have some 19-year-old friends, but I don't like anybody illegal if that's what we're talking about, underage.
Toure: Uh-huh. Some people think that you like underage girls. What do you say to that?
Kelly: Those people don't know Robert. They don't know me. I usually don't get into what people think about me, because all my career — even before the trial — people had their opinions about Robert, you know. That's probably because, it had a lot to do with me kind of shying away from the crowd, ’cause I'm always in the the studio, digging deep into the basement all the time of my house, creating music. So when people don't know you, they can't touch you like they could someone else. They seem to form opinions or have thoughts about you that they like to, you know, think.
Toure: Some of the people who've worked with you have said there's an issue here. Your former manager has said publicly there's an issue of concern here. Your brother Carey has said there's an issue of concern here.
Kelly: Issue of concern? What do you mean when you say issue of concern?
Toure: They said that they're concerned that you like underage girls.
Kelly: Let me put it to you this way, man. It's unfortunate that people who don't work for me says that the people that do work for me don't say that, and the people who don't work for me were fired. If you have someone work for you and they're mad ’cause they're not working for you anymore and used to getting a certain amount of money or a certain amount of fame because they work for you, because you're famous, and all of a sudden they mess you around and you let them go — anything that comes up about you, they're gonna run and say, "Yeah, he did that to me! I knew this, too, about him." But you really can't, you know — I don't want you, I want my fans: Do not list to the people that was fired. Don't even listen to the people that was hired. Listen to the facts, and get into what you think and make your own opinion. If you're gonna have an opinion about me, have your own opinion of what you think about me. What you definitely don't do is go by somebody that was fired and mad and pissed off about you because they were fired.
Toure: But your brother Carey was not fired. He's your brother.
Kelly: He was fired.
Toure: But he's still your brother.
Kelly: Doesn't matter. He's still my brother, but if he's so my brother [then] why'd he get fired?
Toure: Why did he get fired?
Kelly: I can't get into that. … Unfortunately, it's like this: When you're me, when you're R. Kelly, everybody wants a piece of you, and if you don't give 'em a piece they'll find a way to get a piece of you one way or the other. I've been blackmailed a billion times in my career — before the trial, during the trial, after the trial — I've been sued for stuff that … ridiculous things. At one point in my life, I was an ATM machine. People would come up and push whatever, and if it don't come out they'll go tell somebody this or they'll go run and say this, run and say that. I'm used to that. I'm, you know — you don't get used to it. Let me take that back. I'm not used to it, but I'm used to the fact I know people will do this, sometimes even your own family members. I don't hate no one of 'em, but I know a lot of people will be out to get me ’cause I'm very vulnerable, man, especially during a seven-year trial.
Toure: So there's no issue here? They're all wrong, there's no issue here — that's what you're saying?
Kelly: It depends on who you say "they're all," and what they're saying.
Can you believe he said all that shiz???!!!!
R. Kelly also said that he wants everyone to lay off of him since he was found innocent. "If you were charged with something and found innocent, then you can't be found guilty for being found innocent."
The law says he's "technically" innocent, but we can't help feel so skeeved out by him!

He is so disgusting. I hope he gets hit upside the head. Ne-Yo Forever!!
HE'S DEFFINETLY A PEDOPHILE!
R. Kelly is quoted as saying, "If they are old enough to pee, then they are old enough for me!!"
that made me have to go pee.
Careful what you say about R Kelly. He might pee on you.
Isn't that almost an admission of guilt? Too bad they can't re-arrest him. What a sick pedophilic perv.
Young girls!!!! STAY AWAY!!!
Man. It's bitch day on here, huh? Where are the boys?
He's gross.
i still don't get how he was found innocent.
Everybody wants a piece of him? He's a has been.
And he speaks about himself in the 3rd person. That effed up.
Go away, weirdo…hush now.
perez.. where is the clip? his body language is completely erratic to me. that's something to see.
Re: mama of 2 – LOL! THAT CRACKED ME UP!
I can't believe this guy could even get a woman.Must be some woman out there more fucked up than he is !!! Guilty !!
So he's saying the people that work for him are paid to lie about him. All the people he doesnt pay to lie about his character and sexual desires tellt he truth. Priceless admission.
child molester — I saw the tape.
R. Kelly is in his 40's. He shouldn't be having 19 year-old "friends".
He makes the guy define what he means by "teenage girls"!!??! GROSS!! This dude is such a sleeze bag - He'll be back in court for the same shit again - no doubt in my mind.
Who are YOU to talk, Perez. You have a thing for Miley Cirus, she is also a underage teenage girl. You are just as skeevey!
disgusting. he's like "19 is great. but I don't touch 17 year olds." WTH. A 19 year old is not too much different than a 17 year old. They're both wayyyyyyy younger than he is.
What a disgusting pedophile pig!!! Hey R. Kelly– OJ was found "innocent" too! That doesn't mean shit!
he's a baby fucker… plain and simple. "you can put lipstick on a pig……..
You're a dirty little pervert, live with it!!
Perez you're a gay man and you are pedophille you pray on Ryan Sheckler, Jonas Brothers, and Zac Effron
CAN'T U find someone your own age?
Guys like you sicken me with your infatuation of youth.
People need to leave him the fuck alone… Hes been found innocent. I know how some of these little girls are. they are dieing to get FUCKED and will lie about their age.
Dive on a spike already PERV !
Disgusting pervert
so funny! what's the difference betweeen 19, 18, and 17 and 10 months…there shouldn't be much of a difference for a 40+ year old man!! he's so gross. when you have sex with someone young enough to be your granddaughter, you've got a problem. i think it's abuse…he's abusing his power to take advantage of girls who have way less life experience than he does. he's naaasty!!!
he is a sick fuck….i honestly hope his children never meet up with a perv or he never touches his own daughter. the interviewer shud of asked what about aaliyah u knew her age when u married her or what about all the underage porn found in ur house in florida that they cudnt charge u for ???? hes such a sicko ps. perez i adore u ur the shit! fuck the haters!
I heard R.kelly likes them 11 and under.That is fucking sick!I heard there was a video.
when you look at his face closely he looks like a pedophile.His eyes are too close together.
He's a fucking pig of a disgrace and we all know that he was indeed guilty of the crime. And why does he speak of himself in the 3rd person?? I hate anyone who does that. He's a scummy fucking sleeze douchebag.
He's talking so much mess I don't even think he really says anything. Guilty. Innocent people talk about facts.
OMG….WHAT IN UNINTELLIGENT ASSHOLE. He sounds so damn ignorant its ridiculous!
I heard R Kelly
is doing a "very special"
version of the song
"Chocolate Rain".
R Kelly should
go on tour with Gary Glitter,
they have so much in common…
Is R Kelly holding April flowers?
No wait, those are May flowers.
.
Golden showers
bring may flowers…
Guilty!
He cant even put together one proper sentence. this guy is ignorant beyond belief, and a complete liar. the only reason he was found innocent is b/c he paid the girl to deny allegations. that man should be stoned. its sooo obvious that he's pervy.
Blah. He's gross.
fuck thatshizzz, he is a fucking pedophile and there is an issue of concern, i saw that tape and R. Kellys ass was pissin on that lil girl, buti will still dowload his music, i fricken love his music
I guess everyone forgot that Aaliyah was 16 when he married her????????
R KELLY IS SO FING DISGUSTING AND HAS ENOUGH MONEY TO AT LEAST TO COVER UP HIS DISGUSTING SIDE ACTIVITIES
OK, let's get one thing straight…in a court of law you are never declared INNOCENT, you are declared NOT GUILTY. And not guilty does not equal innocent. It means that the state could not prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that he was guilty. He still could be guilty of the crime but this could not be proven within the guidelines of the law. It's like he has the OJ Simpson syndrome where he can just pretend that he didn't do anything wrong because it couldn't be proven. You know what you did R. Kelly. Not guilty does not vindicate your from your conscience.
What an arrogant asshat. GROSS.
R. Kelly is a liar and a child molester! I live in Chicago (his hometown) and my friends and I used to see him at the "Rock n Roll" Mc Donalds" (tourist attraction in downtown Chicago) in the car he used in the "You better be Careful" video. He always had a car full of extremely young girls with him and his posse. It is a well-known fact for years that R. Kelly hung out with jailbait on a regular basis here. This may have changed since the trial, but a leopard does not change his spots.
The finding was "not guilty as charged" meaning the jury didn't think the DA proved this specific case beyond a reasonable doubt. It doesn't mean the defendant is innocent, this is something people mix up, especially fans of a defendant. There is no such thing as a court verdict of innocent. We also don't have to legally say "allegedly" except in court, people can have any opinion they want, that is protected by law. In court the rule is to presume innocence whilst the case is going on, the DA has to prove it. Oh, except in French law where the defendant is presumed guilty and has to prove they didn't do it.
I like him, and he's kinda hot for 40+ ^^)
And his music is the best. He's The World's Greatest!
Aaliyah was only 15 when he married her… so of course he likes underage girls. Yucky pedophile.
He secretly married to Aaliyah when she was only 15. What a liar he is.
When you are tried for a crime you are not found guilty or innocent. You are either found guilty or not guilty.
daaaamn i thought he was hot when i was underage..i just turned 18 this august haha! i wouldnt mind a little action in the closet hehe
You are absolutely correct about being found innocent doesn't me you're not guilty. Two examples: Blake and OJ. Granted OJ was found guilty in civil court, but he's not doing any time for it.
haha i wanna grab those roses and hit him repeatedly with it. just because.
You can't trust anyone who talks about their self in the third person.
this guy is an ass
and I'm trapped in the closet…I pull out my gun, but I'm trapped in the closet-oset-oset.
Re: lexcruzer – you know that makes you just as fucked up as him don't you?
He may like teenagers, but he talks like a tween.
He's a sick bastard, he should have seen jail time.
The law NEVER says, "You're innocent." You are either "guilty" or "not guilty" because you can technically be declared "not guilty" even though it's known you did it. If the lawyer can put an ounce of reasonable doubt in the jury's mind then they HAVE to declare "not guilty."
