R. Kelly skipped a court hearing earlier this week and as a result, lost a civil lawsuit filed by an alleged underage sexual abuse victim. Now, his attorneys — Zaid Abdallah and Raed Shalabi — have filed legal docs explaining why he missed it. Simply put, he can’t read.
According to TMZ, the doc states the embattled R&B star “suffers from a learning disability that adversely affects his ability to read … in essence he cannot.”
They say this explains why he was “overwhelmed” when he got served at Cook County Jail. He wasn’t able to understand what the paperwork was about.
Abdallah and Shalabi also blasted the fact he was served while incarcerated to begin with, claiming the alleged victim’s lawyers could’ve served Kelly’s criminal lawyer or taken the documents to Trump Towers where Kelly resides.
In their defense, the woman’s lawyer said Trump Tower security made it impossible, but Kelly’s attorney doesn’t buy it.
They are asking the judge to vacate the decision so they can start over with the case.
The woman, identified as Heather Williams, sued Kelly in February. She alleges he sexually abused her several times when she was just 16 years old.
buhahahaha. GTFOH!
R stands for retarded
Thanks for presenting this ancient information. R Kelly has admitted this himself, like a decade ago.
Dur dee dur
R kelly is a song writer, a good one at that, and has been very successful at writing hits for himself and other artists…now i might be wrong, but how can one know how to write and not read? It doesnt follow logic…i understand knowing how to read and not write, but you have to be able to read in order to write, plain and simple…the judge might feel disrespected with that bold lie lol
Jay z doesnt write his lyrics he memorizes them.
Stevie Wonder couldn’t read but stil wrote songs.
Sexual abuse trail? The author can’t read or write either Smh TRIAL not Trail you dunce
I seen that LMAO
That’s clearly a typo you lame, y’all rant about the stupidest shit.
He’s literally a child. Your body grows into an adult’s but your brain or spirit or whatever just stays at a stand still. A month ago he said he just went to a bank for the first time. He’d still be living at his Mom’s if he didn’t have a good voice.
Do you actually think he is/was the only celebrity to not do simple shit we do like go to a bank?
Can we get the r kelly movie starring will Ferrell please?
SKEME, the best idea ? yet!
This is nothing new, they been saying he illiterate 4 yrs
Im lost you can be a song writer but cant read? The fuck judge is stupid enough to buy that shit should be imprisoned
His learning disability is mental retardation. Why didn’t he try asking any other human being to read it for him? English probably looks like Hieroglyphics to this idiot.
He’s an idiot? You create some of the music he has created and come back to me, you fkn moron.
Yes he’s a gifted musician…..for a pedophile
I thought this was common knowledge that he was illiterate?
So he was served legal docs and he didn’t give them to his lawyers to discuss it? Good One.
He’s black, of course he can’t read for shit.
He’s black, of course he can still be an accomplished ‘song writer’ ironically. Black people are Gods, never forget that!
You mean God’s worst creation.
God’s 1st and greatest creation you peasant
PLEASE STFU YOU IDIOT
JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP
