R. Kelly has been holding several women against their will in a so-called 바카라 게임 웹사이트cult바카라 게임 웹사이트 at his homes in Atlanta and Georgia, according to a new report from published Monday.

BuzzFeed바카라 게임 웹사이트s report is supported by Cheryl Mack, Kitti Jones and Asante McGee, three former members of Kelly바카라 게임 웹사이트s entourage. According Mack, Jones and McGee, a total of six women currently live in Kelly바카라 게임 웹사이트s homes, with the singer controlling everything from how they eat to how they engage in sexual encounters, which are recorded.
바카라 게임 웹사이트You have to ask for food. You have to ask to go use the bathroom,바카라 게임 웹사이트 says Mack. 바카라 게임 웹사이트[Kelly] is a master at mind control … he is a puppet master.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Mack, Jones and McGee also provided details on who was living with Kelly last summer.
The group included a 31-year-old 바카라 게임 웹사이트den mother,바카라 게임 웹사이트 a 25-year-old who has been 바카라 게임 웹사이트part of Kelly바카라 게임 웹사이트s scene바카라 게임 웹사이트 for seven years, a 19-year-old model, a 26-year-old songwriter who began a relationship with Kelly when she was 19 and an 18-year-old singer from Florida. As BuzzFeed notes, it is not illegal for consenting adults to engage in non-traditional relationships.
Mack, Jones and McGee revealed to BuzzFeed that the women who live with Kelly are required to address him as 바카라 게임 웹사이트Daddy"; he calls them his 바카라 게임 웹사이트babies.바카라 게임 웹사이트 Upon their arrival, cell phones are confiscated and replaced with new ones that they can use to only contact him or people he바카라 게임 웹사이트s approved of.
Mack, Jones and McGee also claim that Kelly films his sexual activities with the women and shows the footage to 바카라 게임 웹사이트men in his circle.바카라 게임 웹사이트 The women are also required to dress in jogging suits, according to Mack, because Kelly 바카라 게임 웹사이트doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트t want their figures to be exposed; he doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트t want them to look appealing.바카라 게임 웹사이트 Kelly also requires that the women 바카라 게임 웹사이트turn around and face the wall in their jogging suits바카라 게임 웹사이트 when other men are in the room.
As BuzzFeed reports, welfare checks have been performed in Illinois and Georgia in the past year, but no charges have been made. A police report obtained by BuzzFeed from the Cook County Sheriff바카라 게임 웹사이트s office in Chicago notes that the 21-year-old singer from Georgia told police during a welfare check in January 2017 that she was 바카라 게임 웹사이트fine and did not want to be bothered with her parents because her father was threatening people.바카라 게임 웹사이트
BuzzFeed also spoke with the Florida parents of an aspiring singer who met Kelly when she was 17 and moved into one of his properties once she reached the age of legal consent. What began as a mentoring 바카라 게임 웹사이트music relationship바카라 게임 웹사이트 turned into worrying one, according to the mother. McGee, one of the three women who used to be in Kelly바카라 게임 웹사이트s entourage, says Kelly is 바카라 게임 웹사이트head over heels바카라 게임 웹사이트 and 바카라 게임 웹사이트obsessed바카라 게임 웹사이트 with the Florida singer. After more than one year of no contact, the singer called her parents to invite them to an R. Kelly show in Indiana last weekend. Upon declining the invitation, her father learned that Kelly had recently paid for the Florida singer to have breast enhancement surgery.
In 2008, Kelly was tried in Illinois for 14 charges of making child pornography. The case lasted for 6 1/2 years and was focused on a videotape that allegedly showed Kelly having sex with a 14-year-old girl. He was acquitted on the 14 charges and, as BuzzFeed reports, settled 바카라 게임 웹사이트a dozen or more civil lawsuits바카라 게임 웹사이트 out of court.
Linda Mensch, Kelly바카라 게임 웹사이트s attorney in Chicago, provided an email statement to BuzzFeed in response to its story: 바카라 게임 웹사이트We can only wonder why folks would persist in defaming a great artist who loves his fans, works 24/7, and takes care of all of the people in his life. He works hard to become the best person and artist he can be. It is interesting that stories and tales debunked many years ago turn up when his goal is to stop the violence; put down the guns; and embrace peace and love. I suppose that is the price of fame. Like all of us, Mr. Kelly deserves a personal life. Please respect that.바카라 게임 웹사이트
