Oh boo hoo you monster.
R. Kelly gave his first sit-down interview to CBS since his arrest for 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against four alleged victims, and the singer swears we've got it all wrong.
"People are going back to my past and they’re trying to add [up] all of this stuff… to make all of this stuff that’s going on now feel real to people," he said in reference to the claims he had sex with underage girls and kept them as sex slaves.
When interviewer Gayle King reminded him that the information is relevant given the charges against him, he lashed out.
"Absolutely, no it’s not [relevant] because, for one, I beat my case. When you beat something, you beat it," he insisted, referencing his 2008 sexual assault case with another underage girl.
When King pushed the issue, the "I Can Fly" crooner broke down in tears as he tried to proclaim his innocence.
"Forget how you feel about me! Hate me if you want to, love me if you want, but use your common sense. How stupid would it be for me with my crazy past and what I’ve been through to be like, ‘Oh right now, I think I need to be a monster and hold girls against their will, chain ’em up in my basement and don’t let ’em eat and don’t let ’em out?'," he revealed.
"Stop it. Y’all, quit playing! I didn’t do this stuff. This is not me! I’m fighting for my f—ing life!" he added.
So what's his reaction to all the "rumors" circulating about him?
"I’m very tired of all of the lies. I’ve been hearing things and seeing things on blogs. I’m just tired. All of them. Got little girls trapped in the basement … helicopters over my house trying to rescue someone that doesn’t need rescuing because they’re not in my house. Handcuffing people, starving people. I have a harem, what you call it — a cult. I don’t even really know what a cult is. But I know I don’t have one," he fumed.
The most outrageous part? He wants to blame social media for all his problems!
"You can start a rumor on a guy like me or a celebrity just like that. All you have to do is push a button on your phone and say, ‘So and so did this to me, R. Kelly did this to me.’ And if you get any traction from that, if you’re able to write a book from that, if you’re able to get a reality show … then any girl that I had a relationship in the past that it just didn’t work out, she can come and say the same exact thing. I’m talking about the power of social media," he explained.
Hey R. Kelly... #TimesUp on you, dude! He might not want to listen to what Michael Avanatti had to say about all of this to us when we caught him at Craig's in West Hollywood last night...
