R. Kelly's Publicist: I Believe I Can Quit!

Posted Nov 17th 2007 2:10PM by TMZ Staff

R. KellyRegina Daniels, who worked as R. Kelly's publicist for 14 years, has formally announced her decision to end all ties with the platinum pisser. What took her so long?

In her statement, Daniels writes, "I have prided myself on loyalty, respect and professionalism. It saddens me that I was not always shown those same courtesies during my 14-year tenure as Mr. Kelly's publicist ... There are some lines that should never be crossed professionally or personally. Mr. Kelly crossed a line that forever altered the scope of our relationship. For this reason I made the decision to resign." Daaaaaamn!

Five years ago R. Kelly was charged with 14 counts of child pornography. He has yet to go to trial, but proceedings should kick off next spring.

7. I couldn't agree with you more, Janice. She certainly doesn't have the strongest set of morals either. She obviously placed $$$ over intestinal fortitude. What goes around comes around ...

10. 5 years ago? I dont get it---OJ, Vick, the Governor of Illinois, all can come to Trial quickly for crimes of theft, animal abuse and Lying, but a Child Molestation Charge continues to linger?

Something is wrong here. And a Publicist who quits now after standing by her man needs to receive no sympathy for whatever line Kelly crossed with her.

Maybe she just now realized Kelly has been trying to "buy" justice with payoffs to the reported victims and she'd have to sign the checks.

People who still support Kelly have not seen the video going around. And if they have and still do support him, let their loved ones be in his next one.

12. This crap enrages me!!! Why has he not been brought to trial?! Who has allowed this piece of garbage to continue to make money all these years?! 5 years later, there is no way he will be convicted! The justice system for children and innocents is so effed up! Get your s*** together, America! Stand up for what is right! And this "woman" who was his publicist should go and kill herself, for standing by this sub-human! I can't believe she would make a public announcement like this, and tell the world who she is! Dirty, rotten, b****!!!!

14.
Um thanks for clearing that up.
I was wondering why Mr. Kelly's publicist resigned just this very afternoon.
Thought maybe Kelly crossed some line but was not 100 percent sure.
If not for that formal announcment rumors may have started.
