R. Kelly has largely avoided the media in the years following the sexual assault trial he faced in 2008.
However, after being hit with 10 fresh counts for the same conduct, the R&B singer is attempting to clear his name by sitting down with CBS.
In a tearful interview with Gayle King, the embattled crooner claimed the case against him was “not true” and chalked the latest allegations down to “rumors.” He went on to vent that “they” are trying to drudge up old allegations from a case that he “beat.”
Set for full broadcast on Wednesday’s episode of CBS This Morning, an heated preview has been released.
Watch below…
Wow!
The latest wave of accusations follow Lifetime’s critically acclaimed and widely watched ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ – during which several women narrated harrowing accounts of their time with music’s self-professed Pied Piper.

I’m screaming lololol. Karma
Go choke on one of PiRihnna’s Home Depot products and leave r Kelly alone!!!. These womanz tricked r Kelly, if they waz victims why would they associate with the so called bad guy???? They just want money, something that r Kelly doesn’t even have and attention which they did accomplish. R Kelly was and still is 100% INNOCENT, can’t keep a good man down. He always bounces back and put out great music unlike Rihsceduled
So you were there? You know the real ages of the women at the time the s** tape was made? Are you dumb or just ignorant? He will have his day in court AGAIN and everyone shall see. Btw its easy to be influenced or brain washed into situations. I wish people would spend more time researching information and educating their children to do and be better in life than make comments on stuff they have know true facts about.
youre comment is soo stupid shut up he is guilty
Sicko.
Sorry but I got to correct you. He is a former sicko.
I love me some R. Kelly but he is STUPID. He should have moved to a country in Africa without extradition treaties years ago and let all the statute of limitations run out for his previous underrage sexx in the 90s. He is correct…they are trying to take him down for his wrongs he did in the 90s because the prosecutors failed in sending him to prison the first time. The old saying still goes…’out of sight out of mind.’ When you know you did wrong and you get a second chance cover your asss. Dont think these prosecutors won’t come for you again because they are seething you won the case in the first place! I have seen zero evidence he beds underrage girls in the past 20 years but he should have been smarter by moving out of the US a long long time ago!
You’re a dumb b****…
This man live in a world full of denial and deception. Him and anybody else who thinks that we’re living in the past and not the present are fools. Because to this day he’s got at least two girls that we know of manipulated into thinking their parents don’t care nothing about them. He needs to wake up and realize what he’s doing to these young girls is not right, it’s not appropriate and it needs to stop. Another thing, why is Gayle getting all these interviews? She’s lost her credibility for me. So why didn’t we get Robin Roberts or a better interviewer for this? And you’re not going to find no evidence really of him doing anything. Because he’s got moles in the police department notifying him about everything that’s going on in his case. That’s why the DA is so hush-hush.
Joycyln and Ariel are NOT girls. They are grown ass women! Stop with the BS.
?GUILTY AS CHARGED!! He’s a fraud whose been getting used to abusing little black girls who are now women!!??♂️
Whew chile it’s about to go down ?
“Am I supposed to feel sorry for that b****? I don’t!” ?

i believe R Kelly. All these black womanz have been raping him not the other way around. R Kelly ain’t neva did nothing to hurt nobody.
Fat ass is “unbothered” but commenting under everyone else’s comments.
Wow I think honestly he has common sense and to say that locked woman in a room like I’m sure if that did happen it happened years ago.
Why do they get our woman to do bad things to our men? Gayle wasn’t supposed to do that interview.
I feel bad for him. Look how they treated r kelly and Michael jackson smh
Leave my King alone. Greedy ass b****** seeking attention and money more than seeking for justice. Acting as a victim is a thing now these days.
He doesn’t feel as though they’re being held against their will because the girls have been manipulated to the point that they have become willing victims who think they’re in love. He did not give a direct answer when asked if he has had s– with underage girls. All he continues to talk about is how unfair he’s being treated. If things were fair, he would’ve been put in prison a long time ago. The jury won’t get it wrong this next time.
He is being treated unfairly! He answered the question directly as best he could without incriminating himself. Everyone knows he was having sexx with underrage girls in the 90s. He went to trial for that and was found NOT GUILTY. Don’t be mad at him. Be mad at the prosecutors because they had plenty of evidence to get a guilty verdict! R. Kelly went to court fully prepared to go to jail back then so dont blame him for being found NOT GUILTY.
Fast forward to present day (ie 20 years later) and there is ZERO evidence he has been with an underrage girl since the 1999. People age, grow, and evolve and he should not be penalized for having sexx with underrage girls 20 years ago at this point!
This whole FALSE narrative where people clearly hear the ages FROM the accusers as in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, and want to PRETEND those are underrage girls should cut the BS. Stick to the FACTS and real EVIDENCE from within the past 20 years and not BS.
Groooollll really in koi’s voice
Groooolll really in Khia’s voice
He can’t incriminate himself in that question if he’s innocent. What he’s not saying is, “That wasn’t me on tape then and it’s not me on tape now. I have never knowingly had s–ual relations with any underaged girl.” Why is he not willing to say that but then be perfectly comfortable saying he has not held anyone against their will? How is he going to answer when the prosecution asks, “Is that you on this tape? The mole on the subject’s back is of the very same size as yours and in the very same place that you have yours” (unless he had it surgically removed which investigators will uncover). Add to that the testimony and age of the new witness and it’s a done deal.
@Jasmine
Eric you are too caught up with what is being posted by tabloid press verses what R. Kelly is really being charged with here.
The question is NOT whether or not it is him on the tape. It IS him on the tapes. The question is what actual date the tapes were recorded. Prosecutors have to PROVE the tapes were recorded within the statute of limitations (within 20 years) BUT remember they can charge him with a double jeopardy charge which is why the tapes being accepted as evidence may be denied by the judge. The defense has to PROVE the tape was recorded outside the statute of limitations (ie 20 or more years old).
The charges against R. Kelly are 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexxual abuse, in which 9 of the 10 counts involve alleged victims ranging in age from 13 to 16 years old. One of them is the subject of 4 different counts. There are a total of 4 alleged victims.
That means the Prosecution has to prove sexxual abuse took place against minors within the past 20 years (ie the statute of limitations) and it will be great if their witnesses cooperate and provide time dated RECEIPTS. The defense has to prove this took place 20 plus years ago as their best shot at getting these charges drop. If the charges are not dropped then you are looking at lengthy complex litigation which takes years because this is all he said she said stuff.
I say all this to say don’t put so much stock in the tape and feeling so passionately it is him in the tape. Everyone knows it is him in the tapes. That is not really the best evidence the prosecution will use to try and win their case. Their case will rely heavily on witness testimony and any possible timestamped receipts those witnesses may have.
Fake lawyers
Stay OUT of my comments. My comment was to Eric ONLY and not some TROLL named ‘Jasmine1999’.
I laughed
