Enemies in the east…enemies in the west.

As pressure mounts on RCA Records to slice R.  Kelly out of its roster, the singer is said to have slipped into a pit of paranoia after learning that Bill Cosby had been found guilty of sexual assault.

Details on Kelly’s manic episodes, as told by those closest to him, below…

The performer has been accused of raping hundreds of minors and, with help from peers who were unwilling to report him to the authorities, evaded judgment…until now.

Today, as Shonda Rhimes, John Legend, Ava DuVernay and others lead a brave chorus of stars calling for the star to face judgement for his dirty deeds, his friends have revealed that his manic efforts to silence his victims may be taking a toll on his mental health.

The Metro reports…

This is the worst anybody has ever seen him and Bill’s guilty sentencing has really sent him over the edge.’ The source said: ‘He is concerned that the non-disclosure agreements he had some of his alleged victims sign won’t be enough to stop them from speaking and has been obsessively searching his name on the internet to see if any new allegations about him are circulating.

Kelly has been in a bad way since all of his team quit but has been even more manic, frantic and out of control ever since he found out that Bill Cosby was found guilty of rape.

Infuriated by the betrayal, the singer issued the statement below to the publication…inadvertently confirming that was his talkative pals had shared was true.

I will say that I am infuriated, and I am heartbroken by the false claims against me. These accusations being perpetuated by the media is an attempt to distort my character and to destroy my legacy that I have worked so hard to build. These allegations have created a character of me that is not the truth of who I am nor what I am about.
