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."

16. WTF!!!! If they would have put his ass away for Child Molestation then all this wouldn't be happening anyways. And yes HE IS A CHILD MOLESTER. When you have sex with children under 18 years of age(and in his case UNDER 15) your a pedifile. And everyone wants to turn the other cheeck on that. Still buying his CD's. Still going to his concerts. Still listening to him on the Radio Stations. Come on man. He should be BEAT. Does anybody remember Aaliyah (RIP)? He was with her!! Does anybosy remember that. I saw the GROSS VIDEOS, and there are more than 1. And he wants to say that wasn't him. Maybe there is a REAL reason why he likes little girls. Maybe he's little. I wouldn't let him be around my daughter. WAKE THE F___ UP people. Take a stand against these kinds of people. This world puts celebrities on a pedestal and they need to be put in a firing line-up!!!!!!

17. 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.

19. R-kelly is a walking predator. He like his girls much younger than 18 he likes to do sexual devious acts towards them. I personally think he's a waste of talent. I'd like to see him found guilty and basically taken out of the game. GUILTY RKELLY GUILTY!! And I'll piss to that!

20. Why is everybody talking about R Kelly with a 18-21 year old woman and not Celine Dion and her husband who managed her careersince she was a very young child and then married her when she bacame of age. Makes you think what he was think about her when she was a child. But don't get me wrong grown is grown, he waited until she was an adult and they can be with whomever they want if they are consenting adults, i just think there is some a lot of bias when it comes to certain races. Just my thoughts.

21. Yeah right!!!! The bottom line is that even if she is 21, he's known her since she was 4 and that is SICK AS HELL!!! I can't believe how he keeps getting away with sticking his D&*K in kids. Talented he may be but that does not excuse him, I mean come on he is sick....yes some of the girls are at fault too for doing it, but they are young and naieve...all they see is "R. Kelly", he is a grown ass man and should no better and pratice control in these situations. I can't understand why people are taking up for him. I used to be the biggest R. Kelly fan, even used to think people were setting him up, but this is just wrong. This chick JUST turned 21, do you really think he waited until she was 21, or 18 even to screw her. Aint he supposed to be going to jail or something, or at least trail, which has been at a stand still for what about 4, 5 years now...

24. Everyone should have known R.Kelly is a pervert..all I can say is anyone remember him and Aaliyah when she was 14?? Once a child molester always a child molester. I think thats what he was talking about when he was singing about keeping it in the closet. I wouldnt be surprised to see him ending up on that dateline show. to catch a predator. I mean talent he has got I cant knock him for that but common sense and morals he lacks.

25. Guys, come on. I know that many of you card carrying members of F.A.G. and I'm just glad that he wasn't with boys. I also here that the supposed YG that he's going to court about also lives with him. If I was him, I would totally pull up and leave Chitown. Bro, it's time the relocate.

26. Someone said it right. The Daniels' gig is up and this rehash of a non-event smells of extortion. George's little girl is a fully consenting 21 year old woman. Cut the umbilical cord already.

27. This guy is a walking talking (singing) fece.

28. Why are the Daniels' tripping? He gave them a "shoutout" in his song "Step in the Name of Love". I guess now they want to be paid. Before you judge R. Kelly, listen to his music. He speaks his truth.

29. she is grown and so is he!leave the man alone,I dont see what he would see in someone that age but she is grown.let him live his life as he pleases,

30. Either way, he's a creep and a child molester. There is a tape of him having sex with a child.
