Popular American multiple Grammy Award Winner, Robert Sylvester Kelly a.k.a. R. Kelly has maintained his stance of being innocent of the sexual abuse allegations against him.
In his first interview with Gayle King on `CBS this Morning’ since his release from jail on bail, the music icon denied he manipulated women into staying with him in emotionally and physically abusive relationships.
During the interview, the `I Believe I can Fly’ crooner was daring, but yet emotional.
“Hate me if you want to, love me if you want, but just use your common sense. How stupid would it be for me, with my crazy past and what I’ve been through.
“Oh, right now, I just think I need to be a monster, hold girls against their will, chain them up in my basement, and don’t let them eat, don’t let them out.
