R. Kelly Responds To Publicist Allegations
-
Artist:
Last week, the husband of R. Kelly's publicist went public with the news that Kelly had slept with their 21 year old daughter. As a result of his betrayal, Regina Daniels severed ties with her employer after a 15 year relationship. Daniel's went on to compare R. Kelly to a predator who gains a child's trust by offering gifts.
R. Kelly's handlers sent an official response to TMZ.com over the weekend. He doesn't deny sleeping with the 21 year old, but he does go on to say that his publicist didn't initially have a problem with it.
"It’s hard to take seriously the moral outrage expressed by George and Regina Daniels over R. Kelly’s relationship with Mr. Daniels’ adult daughter, Maxine. The fact is that they had no problem with the relationship — indeed, they encouraged it — while Ms. Daniels was on Mr. Kelly’s payroll.
It was Regina Daniels, then working as a publicist for Mr. Kelly, who persuaded him to attend her step-daughter’s 21st birthday party. And it was Regina Daniels who shortly thereafter gave her step-daughter Mr. Kelly’s private phone number, with the admonition: ‘Don’t tell your father.’ It was only after Ms. Daniels resigned her position to avoid being fired for incompetence that her stepdaughter’s relationship suddenly became an issue for her and her husband.”
