R. Kelly's daughter, Buku Abi, alleges childhood sexual abuse by her father in a new documentary. She claims the abuse occurred when she was 8 or 9, and she informed her mother at age 10. Kelly's attorney denies the allegations. The singer is currently serving a 19-year sentence for separate sexual misconduct convictions.
A recent documentary has revealed disturbing allegations against renowned R&B artist R. Kelly. The two-part series, titled "Karma: A Daughter's Journey," features Kelly's daughter, now 26 years old, breaking her silence on a deeply personal matter.
In the documentary, Kelly's daughter claims she experienced sexual abuse at the hands of her father during her childhood. She describes the emotional turmoil and fear that prevented her from speaking out earlier, emphasizing the complicated relationship she had with her father as a child.
According to the documentary, the alleged abuse occurred when Kelly's daughter was around 8 or 9 years old. She states that she eventually confided in her mother about the incidents when she was 10, which led to significant changes in the family's dynamics and interactions with Kelly.
The documentary also touches on the legal aspects of the situation, including an attempt to report the alleged abuse to authorities. However, due to the delay in reporting, no charges were pursued.
Kelly's legal representation has issued a statement firmly denying these new allegations. They point out that similar claims were previously investigated and found to be unsubstantiated. Currently, R. Kelly is serving a 19-year prison sentence for unrelated convictions involving sexual misconduct and racketeering. He is not expected to be eligible for release until 2045.
