R. Kelly blames ex-wife, friends who he claims stole from him for legal and financial problems
Kelly, who is also facing felony charges that allege he sexually abused three girls and a woman in Chicago years ago, shouted and cried as he spoke with Gayle King of “CBS This Morning.” He said his ex-wife was lying when she accused him of domestic abuse and his voice broke as he asked: “How can I pay child support if my ex-wife is destroying my name and I can't work?”
Experts said Kelly's appearance was also risky and could backfire if it gives prosecutors more information to use against him at trial. That's why most defence attorneys urge clients to keep quiet. In Kelly's case, he and his attorney might have decided they had nothing to lose after the Lifetime series, said Fred Thiagarajah, a prominent Newport Beach, California, attorney and former prosecutor.
Kelly's attorney, Steve Greenberg, has said his client did not “knowingly” have sex with underage girls. In a particularly dramatic moment, he angrily stood up and started pacing, his voice breaking as he yelled, “I didn't do this stuff! This is not me!” He cried as he hit his hands together, saying, “I'm fighting for my life.”
