It is well documented that mothers have turned their children against their fathers …. It should have been taken to the police

[CoolcatJackson]

When the mother is on her socials singing and dancing to his music, it pretty much debunks the allegations. Like wth listens as well as dances and sings to their and the daughters abuser's music? The mother even praised him for being a good father. Smh, anything for clout these days.

[HisSacredLove]

The absolute lie's, these type of people lie about anything just to get attention 🙄

[juliaplous]

I believe his daughter. What reason has he given us NOT to believe her?

[nasemjackson]

She is lying trying to get a bag wtf 😳 cap 🧢

[robertov]

That lawyer seems like a miserable person outside of her representing r kelly

[timmthypeden]

He got a damn good lawyer she is a verbal assassin. 💯

[t.t]

She might be telling the truth, she might not but the point is you need evidence, you can't just believe anyone that cries. For the law, for court, you need evidence. You can have an opinion, but you can't charge people without evidence.

FYI! Fathers and Stepfathers do not touch you on one isolated incident- sick pedos can't control the urges- they will SA any child in their possession 😢 for her sake I pray she is telling the truth bc if she is not, may God help her- if in fact Robert is the 1% that assaults on a one time basis, then yes, he has to continue to repent and do his time- unfortunately, it's hard to believe anybody these days🙏🏾 Praying for this entire family!

[mutestingray]

Do these lawyers think that coming on TV and acting like an ass really helps their client in any way?

[ANR_SoulMusic]

these comments make you realize how gullible people are, no common sense. If you can't see how his ex-wife is coaching her kids for money, then you're under denial. His Ex-wife and the victim's parents should be arrested for pimping their children.

[stellabella]

By the way his Lawyer is triggered, he's definitely guilty!

[joyofalltrades]

Lawyer gone take that money. How much he paying you Jennifer?

[gjrocknthedreamteam]

Why is his daughter trying to act like Aaliyah? That’s some weird creepy stuff. Something ain’t right with all of this!!!

[sunnydelight]

His lawyer needs to calm down. She’s acting like it’s her being accused. That tat with Ashley at the end was over the top.

[Anne.]

Her mom taught her well. Setup a hotline too sound from familiar?? and these lawyers know she lying.Moms even got her looking like Aaliyah. FOH

[kevwiz]

So many women come with "accusations " for money, to stay in the public eye, for interviews, etc.
Feel sorry for the real victims.

[onlyme]

She's paid lots of money to be defending him, just saying

[sylviarosario]

The ONLY TWO people that know what happened is R Kelly and his daughter PERIOD. Someone is lying and we will never know the truth. Diddy denied the claims that he assaulted Cassie. People were choosing sides. Then bam, the video surface and the truth was exposed. Had it not been for the video some people would’ve believed Diddy.🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[Ann-mqi]

Of course he's going to deny it! I believe his daughter!
