In reply to Latoya Stevens.

Latoya that was over 25 years ago and Aaliyah is not here to share her side of the story. When Aaliyah was alive she told the Sun-Times: “I don’t really comment on that because I know that’s not true. When people ask me, I tell them, `Hey, don’t believe all that mess. We’re close and people took it the wrong way.’ ”

Don't get caught up in media sensationalism. Now do I think it is possible R. Kelly and Alliyah were havin consentual sexx? Yes. Do I think Aalyah was a "child" at the time? No. It is quitr common for teenagers (especially those that are grown acting like Aaliyah) to date men in their 20s and parents either go along with it, turn a blinde eye to it, or are unaware because their daughter is dating other teenagers at the same time. Aaliyah was groomed to be a star by her parents and her uncle. It is her parents and her uncle that asked R. Kelly to help make her a star. There is no proof Aaliyah and R. Kelly ever had sexx and no one ever even seen them kiss. The marriage could have taken place for a hundred different reasons but I suspect Aaliyah was pregnant. I can read body language and there is some relationship chemistry going on in the following interview but again this was 25 years ago:
