R. Kelly CBS This Morning Interview With Gayle King

Yesterday evening Twitter was set ablaze when a teaser trailer to Gayle King’s interview with R. Kelly hit the ‘net. The CBS This Morning host scored the first sit-down with Robert since he was arrested and charged with 10 counts of sexual abuse of young women and girls.

In an explosive new interview, R. Kelly is breaking his silence about the sexual abuse charges that landed him in jail last month. The embattled R&B singer told @GayleKing that all the women now accusing him of physical and sexual abuse are lying. https://t.co/u4AENVsfAE pic.twitter.com/dVtVjc4Fx4

Here, Gayle asks Robert if he’s ever done anything wrong in regards to sexual relationships with women.

Have you done anything you regret, have you done anything wrong? — @GayleKing

“Lots of things wrong when it comes to women that I apologize, but I apologized in those relationships at the time that I was in the relationship, OK?” — @RKelly https://t.co/u4AENVsfAE pic.twitter.com/4GgwQ6y65k

Gayle then digs into the Surviving R. Kelly documentary that has ultimately brought Robert to the place he’s in today.

"If you really look at that documentary, which I'm sure you have… everybody says something bad about me. Nobody said nothing good. They were describing Lucifer. I'm not Lucifer. I'm a man. I make mistakes, but I'm not a devil, and by no means am I a monster." — @RKelly pic.twitter.com/0NG6C7Yf5Y

Now we get to the nitty-gritty when Gayle asks Robert directly if he’s ever had sex with underaged girls.

Have you ever had sex with anyone under the age of 17? — @GayleKing

"No. No." — @RKelly

Never?

"No!" https://t.co/u4AENVsfAE pic.twitter.com/OGjRzY1P2t

On the next page you can see the volatile moment that everyone online is talking about when Robert tries to win an Emmy for best performance in a heada$$ drama then erupts into unbridled “anger”.

“Stop it. You all quit playing! Quit playing! I didn't do this stuff! This is not me! I'm fighting for my f***ing life! Y'all killing me with this sh*t!" @RKelly told @GayleKing, standing up. "I gave you 30 years of my f***ing career!"https://t.co/u4AENVJQsc pic.twitter.com/jLF7l8etYh

It’s obvious that Robert Kelly will soon be behind bars for a VERY long time and from the looks of this interview, he knows it.

The only response we have to his crying, whining, and faux outrage is…

Rkelly: “im fighting for my fucking life”

And that’s that on that. On the last page, Gayle asks more direct questions including a pointed inquiry into his relationship with Azriel Clary and Joycelyn Savage.
