Since the early 90s, R. Kelly has been in the limelight for numerous of sexual allegations against underage girls. One of the most notable being the peculiar relationship he had with R&B princess, Aaliyah, who he married when she was just 15 years old.
According to The Daily News, as new sexual allegations arise, Kelly equipped himself with D.C.-based attorney Monique Pressley today (July 25). Pressley, arguably one of the best black legal experts in the business, represented Bill Cosby in his sexual assault case.
Last week, the Pied Piper proved to still be living up to his ways when the R&B singer was accused of running an abusive sex cult. Apparently, two women have been living with the singer are accusing him of holding them against their will and controlling their every move.
According to a former personal assistant to Kelly, he would tell the girls that they could only wear jogging suits when other men are in the house, and when they are in the same room as other men, they have to face the wall. All are efforts for the men not to admire their bodies.
They were originally signed over to Kelly to help jump start their singing careers. But it seems to have quickly turned into something sinister.
Kelly has denied the allegations against him in a statement his lawyer, Linda Mensch, released to the media. “Mr. Robert Kelly is both alarmed and disturbed by the recent revelations attributed to him,” Mensch wrote in a statement. “Mr. Kelly unequivocally denies such accusations and will work diligently and forcibly to pursue his accusers and clear his name.”
Kelly seems to be living up to his namesake “The Pied Piper” by continuing to use his musical career to lure young women into his lifestyle.
