A few days performing at a recent concert in Jackson, Miss. R&B Icon R. Kelly gets slapped with a lawsuit from a local deputy. He made a strong allegation against Kelly for allegedly having an affair with his wife.
Kenny Bryant, a Hinds County deputy, originally filed the suit against the “Ignition” singer on April 21. Three days later, a summons was filed that required Kelly to present a response to the complaint
According to the lawsuit, Bryant claimed that prior to their wedding on July 15, 2012, R.Kelly, real name Robert, began an secret, romantic relationship with his wife, Asia Childress. Even though Childress claimed that their relationship had ended, Bryan claims that it has rekindled when she attended one of his concerts in in October of that year.
Bryant boldly claims that him and Childress did not have sexual relations between Oct. 2012 and Feb. 2013 because she was treated for Chlamydia. He claims that she caught it from Kelly during their their alleged affair.
The lawsuit also states that sometime late, Childress allegedly convinced Bryant to move to Atlanta in hope of furthering her career, causing him to quit his “good job”. Bryant claims that as result of moving, he was unable to “find profitable work” and, in addition to her allegedly desiring a lavish lifestyle that was beyond her means, he was financially ruined.
Bryant also claimed that his wife would disappear whenever the “Bump & Grind” singer had a concert in a close state.
“Each time R. Kelly would have a concert in a nearby state, Childress would disappear to unite with her lover,” the lawsuit said. “Time after time, R. Kelly cuckolded Bryant, with blatant disregard for Bryant’s and Childress’ vows.”
After many attempts to keep their marriage together as Bryant claims, he “could not prevail against R. Kelly’s continued sexual overtures to Childress.”
The deputy has since filed for a divorce from Childress to let his wife continue her alleged relationship.
R. Kelly was in town that week as he wrapped up a performance at the Mississippi Coliseum.
