R. Kelly’s brother, Carey, has accused him of sexually abusing and possibly impregnating their 14-year-old cousin.
Speaking during a lengthy interview earlier this week, Carey said, “You give people chances to change before you put their business out there, before you actually say ‘enough is enough.’ Things happen in people’s lives to the point where you feel like it’s a wake-up call and now they get a chance to right their wrongs.”
Carey claimed that his brother “became worse” after losing his mother and Aaliyah, and being acquitted in a 2008 child pornography case.
The siblings fought at one point when Carey allegedly confronted R. Kelly about going after little girls. He insisted, “I wasn’t condoning [his behavior],” noting that he believed that R. Kelly was “trying to get some help.”
Carey didn’t explicitly call the “Pied Piper” a pedophile, but theorized that his targeting of young girls was a result of childhood abuse.
“Robert has a control problem. And the only reason why he targets little girls, now that I’m older, I understand. He was molested. I was molested [too], but I didn’t turn out that way,” Carey said before admitting that they were molested by the same person. “I became a protector of children. I didn’t want kids to go through what I went through, especially my daughters.”
Carey detailed the interaction that he allegedly witnessed between Aaliyah and R. Kelly, describing it as a creepy brother-sister relationship.
“But at the same time it made you scratch your head. He was overprotective of her when he shouldn’t be.
“I picked it up when he was working on her album and he started producing ‘Age Ain’t Nothin But a Number.’ I’m listening to the [lyrics] and I’m paying closer attention to how they’re vibing..they’d be right next to each other, hugged up and different things of that nature.
“That didn’t seem right with him being the age that he was, and her being the age that he was.”
He claimed that when questioned about Aaliyah, R. Kelly denied they were more than friends. Kelly married Aaliyah, then 15 years old, in 1994 (her age was listed as 18 on the marriage certificate). The marriage was annulled in 1995.
He went on to suggest that his brother was “demonic” and urged him to seek help. “Anytime a person lusts after a minor something is wrong with them.”
For his own children, Carey said that R. Kelly never touched them inappropriately, but that they were being affected by the ongoing movement to #MuteRKelly. Subsequently, Carey called in for the interview to set the record straight for the sake of his children and to clear his own name, as well as plug his forthcoming book.
According to Carey, R. Kelly kept a bunch of “yes men” around who would gladly approach teen girls on his behalf. When asked if R. Kelly ever abused a family member Carey replied, “One, that I know of.”
The alleged victim was 14 years old when the abuse began. The family caught on when they noticed R. Kelly was spending time alone with the girl, Carey said. The victim, whom he would not name but hopes will share her story, gave birth to a child a few years later.
