R. Kelly Snaps Back at Accusations!

Posted Feb 15th 2008 4:35PM by TMZ Staff

R. KellyAn R. Kelly spokesman has issued the following exclusive statement to TMZ regarding accusations that Kelly had an inappropriate relationship with his former publicist's daughter:

"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."

11. Are you sure it wasn't her 12th birthday!? Then I would see how this story comes together.

12. At 21, isn't she a little old for R? I thought he liked em younger...MUCH younger! This guy is nothing more than a pedophile who needs to be locked up and the key thrown away!

13. I don't like R. Kelly, by any means, but what does it matter? She's 21 fricken years old. I'm 22, and the love of my life is 35. Age is nothing but a number. Get over it. Mommy and daddy just want from him for it. That's all this is.

14. well if she doesn't like getting pissed on anymore then there is nothing to worry about is there?

15. It does matter if it's a minor or not, R Kelly is being watched like a pervert and people can't wait for him to go to trial for the other stuff about 5 years ago, damn. He shouldn't talk with a woman under 30.
