R. Kelly was arrested on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse on Friday (February 22) after turning himself in to Chicago police. At the center of the investigation is a sex tape allegedly showing the disgraced R&B star engaging in lewd acts with a 14-year-old girl.
Attorney Michael Avenatti, who is representing at least one of Kelly’s four alleged victims, shared three screenshots from the tape to his Twitter account shortly after Kellz was indicted on Friday afternoon.
“I will be addressing these photos during the press conference scheduled to begin shortly after 5pm ET (4pm CT),” Avenatti captioned the tweet.
According to FOX59, Kelly is scheduled to appear in court on Saturday (February 23) for a bail hearing. Kellz’s attorney Steve Greenberg described his client as an innocent man and believes Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx succumbed to public pressure.
“I think all the women are lying,” Greenberg said. “Mr. Kelly is strong, he’s got a lot of support and he’s going to be vindicated on all these charges — one by one if it has to be.”
This Michael guy is a loser, we don’t need to see this ..I got enough porn next to my bed. Is a win for Kelly
R. Kelly got busted! End of story. Avanatti is a bulldog lawyer and will not let anyone get away with breaking the law. R. Kelly is the nasty bitch!
?? this bitch tainting the jury pool…devils
Dude this motherfuckers an undercover R kelly agent gonna cost those victems their case…if not that this mans the thirstiest hoe on the planet just lookin to get another media tour going
Kelly should have moved to one of those Islamic countries where child brides and sex with underage girls is the norm.
Kelly is very, very sick, but he should have moved to Islamic countries where child birdes and sex with underage girls is fhe norm? Sounds like you’re sicker than r kelly you to me
Actually that’s in the talmud.
I wish we as a logical country would drop nukes on that shit
Those countries don’t like kneegrows
this guy just wants to get back on tv
just read that´s the same video that was used in his trial
He’s not getting out of this time . He’s broke. Paid too many people off the first time. He can barely make bond.
I’m no R. Kelly fan, but this annoying ass retard, Avenatti, is thirsty as hell. Porn lawyers attempts with the fat ho stripper was lame, and his meddling in the Kavanugh case was a joke. He’s never going to look credible. Ever.
*Kavanaugh
Agreed and its the exact anglw r kellys defense is gonna work to discredit everything he says too you know how the courts are one a liar always a liar these poor ladies are fucked with this guy shoulda actualy hired a legitimate lawyer not some circus ring leader
I don’t get how these fuckers like Kelly and Smollett lie about this stuff endlessly, if you did it own up to the shit, get help!..
Shouldn’t this shit be saved for court?
That piss was digital!
I’m not gonna pretend that I know the law when it pertains to this case but ummmmm Shouldn’t Avenatti save all this evidence for court instead of trying to use public convinction cause R.Kelly lawyers can easily say his client is not getting a fair trial and request all charges dropped or mistrial? I feel like Kelly gonna get away with it again cause of Avenatti leaking all this for public consumption instead of court consumption
Exactly what I was thinking. Now they might say the jurors could have biases based on media coverage of Avenattis tweets.
That’s not how it works, how can the defence say the jurors have a bias when they havent been picked yet & the defence will be present for just selection. Jurors are screened you moron, how would a mistrial be declared when the case is nowhere even near a trial yet, he hasn’t even had a preliminary hearing yet, that issue could be brought up then and only the judge gets to decide if there is a media ban. This isn’t the first legal case to get “media coverage” ya know genius.
So potential jurors don’t have a tv or social media to be persuaded one way or another with all these leaks Avenatti is doing. C’mon bruh. Even when they are screened it’s too late now public opinion matters more than actual facts. Trial already tainted before anything even starts. Google how many cases get thrown out with hard evidence intact but nullified all do to evidence being shared with public. Kelly’s lawyers can argue this fact if Avenatti keeps going like this. Just saying
Lol “public opinion matters more than actual facts” ok Donald Trump, that’s absolutely not true in Federal Court. Glad you got your law degree by Googling. ‘C’mon Bruh’ There is plenty of recourse for the defence, they can ask for a judge only trial, a media ban, they can ask for a change of venue etc etc.
Well since your law firm is thriving I’m surprised you haven’t heard of Contempt of court act 1981. Kills your whole statement and yes public opinion matters more than facts when ppl like you do trial by google type shit but you the lawyer with all those law degrees. Where did you go ? Cambridge Law School. Asking for a friend
Lol who the hell are we arguing with? The contempt of court act 1981 applies to U.K law, and would not apply in these circumstances regardless? Avenatti can be held in contempt of court and it would have no bearing on R. Kelly’s future trial? The evidence would be thrown out. Are you just making shit up now?
Well that escalated quickly. Try taking a few deep breaths.
R.Kelly was charged by the Cook County District Attorneys Office, its there evidence that matters, Avenatti is just a ambulance chaser leech representing the victims.
If she didn’t want to get pee’d on, she would’ve moved out the way!
I’d let R Kelly pee on me.
Say what you want about Avenatti but don’t let that you distract you from the big picture here.
The new remix to ignition, ain’t got a p***y to piss in. Your daughters claiming I f**cked em, but you won’t get an admission. I’m pissing on em real young, I said so what I”m dumb. It’s the freaking reading baby, that’s got me feeling so stumped.
that quality is awful. who in the fuck uses vhs anymore anyway?
It was obviously from many years ago you tard
For all we know, that piss is digital. They can do some crazy stuff with special effects these days. And what does this creepy porn lawyer stand to make by corroborating the story? For that kind of money, R. Kelly can fart in my dinner TONIGHT, son.
Avenatti is low key sharing child porn…
of a grown ass man?
It was a dumb joke referencing the pics he’s releasing. Sorry bud
How is this legal, I mean R Kelly got to deal with whatever he did but lawyers giving the public pictures of porn? Isn’t that as bad as comtempt or some shit??!!
To Guru. How are you trying to sound intelligent but have no means of spellimg words correcly. You are a moron!!!! Defence? Or Defense? You are plain stupid.
To the guy name Guru responding below.
For you’re explanation I’m in Stanford law school you idiot. Perhaps if you got an education you’d realize how idiotic you’re being. who are you to judge me? So I made one grammatical error on a rap website! so what didn’t realize this was the BAR exam. Maybe if you even had a job you’d be able to argue properly with me. You should get a life and/or education before starting fights with me. I’d probably destroy you if we had a law debate. You couldn’t even figure out how to reply properly to my reply on the comments. I swear these internet experts think they’re experts because they know how to google things. For your information, the person I was commenting to was stating falsehoods and I was educating him/ and or her. I don’t need to sound intelligent because I actually am educated, unlike you That’s the difference between us. Just because people watch documentaries and wikipedia doesn’t mean they’re actually intelligent. Where did you go to school?! Oh that’s right you probably didn’t. Do you even have a job? Probably just some kid in his moms basement…. Sorry if I’m a little bit intense but these morons commenting on things they have no business commenting on is getting out of hand, you included.So next time maybe, how about you think before you speak.
It’s spelled “defence” in countries like Canada, Australia and England (you know, the country where English comes from)
I feel sorry for r.kelly. r.kelly’s sister started this madness by molesting r.kelly and his brother. Apparently, not all people that are abused do not go onto violate other people. But r.kelly should have received the help he needed. Therefore r.kelly must paid for sins.
That’s an explanation for his behavior, not an excuse.
^ Pedo alert
R Kelly has had plenty of time to get help. He didn’t want too. He needs to go to jail. Enough is enough.
