Singer R.Kelly who in 2008 was found not guilty on
14 charges in a child pornography court case has
revealed that he was sexually abused by a female
relative at a young age. R.Kelly said that the abuse
began when he was just 8 and continued up until
his teenage years and the experience made him to
start feeling horny and sexually active from a young
age...
R.Kelly said it all started one day when he fell
asleep in front of the TV and was awoken from “a
crazy dream about Three's Company” to find a
woman playing with him. Speaking to Chris Heath in
an interview with GQ Magazine, he said:
''I tried to push her away, but she wouldn't
stop until she was finished. When she was,
she said, “You better not say shit to no one
or else you gonna get a terrible whupping.”
He also revealed in the interview that a family
friend also offered him money to masturbate him
while he was younger and says the experience had a
negative impact on his childhood.
“At first, I couldn't judge it,” “I remember it
feeling weird. I remember feeling ashamed. I
remember closing my eyes or keeping my
hands over my eyes. I remember those
things, but couldn't judge it one way or the
other fully.”‘I, well, definitely forgive them.
As I’m older, I look at it and I know that it
had to be not just about me and them, but
them and somebody older than them when
they were younger. I looked at it as if there
was a sort of like, I don’t know, a
generational curse, so to speak,going down
through the family.’
Asked why the generational curse didn’t pass down
to him, Kelly replied that he ‘opted to break it’ but
added that misunderstandings occurred as his song
lyrics were ‘taken far too literally’.
"As I’m older, I’ve only learned to forgive it.
Was it wrong? Absolutely. But it’s a family
member that I love so I would definitely say
no to that one. To be honest, even if my
mom, I saw her kill somebody, I’m not gonna
say, “Well, yeah, she definitely should go to
jail.” It’s just something I wouldn’t do.’
