Kelly was taken into custody in Chicago for owing more than $161,000 in child support to his three children with ex-wife Andrea Kelly.
The singer must pay the full amount to get out of jail, Cook County Sheriff’s spokesman Sam Randall said, following a court hearing over a Wednesday deadline for the money to be paid.
Kelly’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Andrea Kelly was not at the hearing and her attorney declined to comment. Kelly’s next hearing in the child support case is on March 13 and his next court date on the s#x abuse charges is March 22.
Wednesday’s arrest came hours after CBS television aired parts of Kelly’s first interview since being charged, in which the singer tearfully and angrily rejected allegations that he had s#x with underage girls.

ReplyDeleteIt is well with him
Ex wife has been making things very difficult....
DeleteAsk yourself why did she wait this long and let it pile to that amount?
Court been de on strike?
yaba left you are totally stupid on top of your madness. your meds need to be doubled..so he refuses to pay for three kids and she is difficult? how did she let it pile this long? do u even know the legal process involved in child support issues? he would have still been defaulting but her lawyers cashed in on a good time to force him to pay...a lot of americans go through this issue of defaulting in child support so asking why she let it pile up is stupid cos its the men who delay and frustrate the process. r Kelly is just a messed up guy who has no regards for women. forget his talent, he got what was coming to him...no body will want to just mess you up and be able to pay about 50 women to lie against you.
DeleteExactly! Just trying to find a way to keep him in jail. The interview he did may have made people more sympathetic towards him so this is another move to portray him as a bad person. Truth is the shit has hit the fan for R Kelly!
DeleteHow long will she be reminding him of his responsibility/s? Is Kelly a baby/boy?
DeleteDouble wahala
ReplyDeleteSonia make I borrow space here. In all of this R Kelly case, I'm more concerned about the parents who knew their kids were being molested but chose to be quiet cos of fame.. oh God may they face the wrath of the law with R Kelly too.
