R Kelly has opened up in a revealing interview with
GQ .The 49 year old talked about being sexually abused , and gave his opinion on Bill Cosby .On Bill Cosby,he said
"Well, my opinion on that is, I don't know what happened,"I'm a fan of Bill Cosby's from the Bill Cosby show, of course—who's
not?—and for me to give my opinion on something that I have no idea if
it's true or not, all I can say is that it was a long time ago. And when
I look on TV and I see the 70-, 80-, 90-year-old ladies talking about
what happened when they were 17, 18, or 19, there's something strange
about it. That's my opinion. It's just strange."
"If God showed me that they were telling the truth, I would
say that's wrong. I don't care if it was a zillion years ago. But God
would have to do that, because God is the only one can show me that. No
man can tell me that. No woman can tell me that. And when you wait 70
years, 50 years, 40 years, to say something that simple, it's strange.
You know why I say that is because it happened to me, and it wasn't
true."
On being sexually abused , he said it started with a man
“It
was a crazy weird experience,“But not a full-blown
experience, because it didn't go down. Contact sexual—no. A
visual—absolutely. A visual from him showing me his penis and all that
stuff.”(it was oral sex the first time, though it soon became intercourse)
Sexual intercourse started one day when Kelly fell
asleep in front of the TV and was awoken from “a crazy dream about
Three's Company” to find a woman playing with him:
I
tried to push her away, but she wouldn't stop until she was finished.
When she was, she said, “You better not say shit to no one or else you
gonna get a terrible whupping.”“I remember it feeling weird. I remember feeling ashamed. I remember
closing my eyes or keeping my hands over my eyes. I remember those
things, but couldn't judge it one way or the other fully.”
And did that change over time?
“Over
time, yeah. I remember actually, after a couple of years, looking
forward to it sometimes. You know, acting like I didn't, but did.”
How often would the abuse happen?
“Oh wow. It became a regular thing. Every other day, every other week.”
How many years did it go on for?
“As far as I can remember, about [age] 7 or 8 to maybe 14, 15. Something like that.”
Did anything in particular make it stop?
“When
I started having a girlfriend, I felt really bad about it. Then I
started getting older and knowing that's just not supposed to
happen—family members. And I think it started getting scary for them
because I just started acting really different about it, and I think it
became a turnoff to them, and a scary thing.”
On forgiving them
I, well, definitely forgive them. As I'm older, I look at it and I know
that it had to be not just about me and them, but them and somebody
older than them when they were younger, and whatever happened to them
when they were younger. I looked at it as if there was a sort of like, I
don't know, a generational curse, so to speak, going down through the
family. Not just started with her doing that to me.”
