'I have been assassinated.' A cursing, screaming, crying R. Kelly refuses to back down in explosive TV interview.

By Elahe Izadi Elahe Izadi Pop culture writer Email Bio Follow March 6 at 9:31 AM In his first interview since his arrest last month on charges of sexual abuse, embattled R&B singer R. Kelly lashed out on “CBS This Morning,” at several points yelling and saying his multiple accusers were lying and conspiring against him.

[As R. Kelly's career flourished, an industry overlooked allegations of abusive behavior toward young women] King tried to interject, but Kelly stood up, screaming and pounding his fists. “Stop it! Y’all quit playing! Quit playing! I didn’t do this stuff! This is not me! . . . Y’all trying to kill me!” he said.

Kelly also said the parents pushed the young women on him and accused the parents of turning on him because of money. “What kind of father, what kind of mother will sell their daughter to a man?” Kelly asked. The sit-down with King represents Kelly’s most wide-ranging interview since a 2017 BuzzFeed story revived attention to Kelly’s behavior. In the story from journalist Jim DeRogatis — who has chronicled Kelly’s alleged behavior for years — former girlfriends and others described Kelly as an R&B superstar who controls the movements and lives of a group of live-in sexual partners. The parents of one of those girlfriends described the situation as “a cult.

Agressive guy. Underscores the charges against him.

I thought he meant to hit someone (Gayle King) with those fist punches.

Creep

Does he have a dissasociative disorder.

Dude you deserve everything you get your a damn disappointment to yourself enjoy it you created it now live with it

Funny that a man who is accused of sexual assault rants, raves, screams, etc is defended as passionate and should be believed. But if a woman did that exact same thing about explaining her assault experience she is deemed hysterical and unbelievable.

Narcissistic people cannot admit fault...

This dude ain't right! I'm sorry his tantrum made him look ridiculous.

Innocent until proven guilty in a competent court

Why is he given a voice?

He did piss on a 14 year old and recorded it. That alone should've seen him imprisoned.

I believe R Kelly 100% Best Regards, Jussie Smollett

He’s overwrought! He’s the one who should stop playin.

🎵I believe that's a lie, I believe we should jail this guy🎵

Kavanaugh was accused by democrats and presumed guilty. Where are democrats now?

OK, took a quick look at his breakdown on CBS. Yeah this guy is big trouble and going to be rooming with Bill Cosby in a year or so.

Then he needs to go to trial!

What a fool. Looking very guilty here

Not so assassinated as to not finally serve time and have justice be served.

I do not think that word means what he thinks it means.

pollsstar What a bad analogy for him. If he had been assassinated, he wouldn't be talking. Therefore he is lying, again.

With just the right amount of indignation & the wag of a finger, you can look earnestly into the camera & proclaim, 'I did not have sex w/that woman,' or, as allegedly in RKelly's case, w/underage women, & you'd be surprised who will believe you. Or not. rkellyinterview

He looks pretty alive for someone who was assassinated😂

Reminds me of Kavanaugh with more cussing and fewer tears

If you didn't do it the court won't find you guilty

😂😂😂

Kavanaugh.

'...refuses to back down...?' Come. On. DailyEuphemism

Playing the victim is also Trumps shtick.

Never seen someone scream and whine so much after being assassinated.

WELL IT'S LIKE MURDER SHE WROTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Really? Why do we need to give him any more publicity. Disappointed GayleKing CBSThisMorning

Other than that, Mrs. Kelly, how did you like the play?

Yeah, he did do what the documentary reflected. He doth protest too much. Prison!

unfortunately you have not been but we are all hoping and praying it will happen.

looks defensively guilty if you ask me

STOP GIVING HIM AIR TIME

'The man, he doth protest too much, methinks.'

You are on video sleeping with girls as young as 14 and bragging about it. You assassinated yourself.

G U I L T Y

This is a long time coming. I'm glad he's finally going to be held accountable, but he belonged on the sex offender registry after a stint in prison 20 years ago.

R Kavanaugh

not yet

Apart from the 'me' on the video...

He's going full Kavanaugh It worked for Kavanaugh though

It worked for Brett Kavanaugh

We'll see

Bad acting 🙄

His life is flashing before his face.

R.Kelly can talk to the other prisoners about this for the rest of his miserable life.

Uhh….isn't there video? Like, several videos?

Nothing says guilt like a screaming, crying denial :)

How presidential of r Kelly

He needs help.

*has a mental breakdown
