R. Kelly's Dark Past Will Disgust You

After making music and grinding with Lady Gaga on stage, it looks like R. Kelly is set to make another musical comeback.
But just like Chris Brown, this rapper with an overinflated ego also comes with a dark past which includes fighting allegations that he made a sex tape with a 13-year-old.
In 2008, Kelly was acquitted in the trial accusing him of filming sex with the underage girl. Jim DeRogatis, who was the journalist who broke the story and spent years reporting on the subject, still says the musician gets off too easy.
DeRogatis revealed his reasons during an interview with the Village Voice. Below are some of the worst allegations against Kelly, which DeRogatis says can be found in Cook County, Ill. records:
So try and think about that before you decide to drop your hard earned cash on Kelly's "Black Panties" album. Here's hoping that he spends all that cash on getting therapy for his problems.

DeRogatis revealed his reasons during an interview with the Village Voice. Below are some of the worst allegations against Kelly, which DeRogatis says can be found in Cook County, Ill. records:
- Dozens of lawsuits allege stories of R. Kelly's sexual assaults on young, African-American girls, according to DeRogatis.
- In one, hundred of pages long, a girl claimed R. Kelly had a relationship with her as a sophomore in high school. He would allegedly pick her and other girls up at school and make them all have sex together. When he dumped her, her suit said, she attempted suicide by slitting her wrists.
- In one video, part of R. Kelly's infamous child porn indictment, the R&B star reportedly ordered a girl to call him Daddy and urinated in her mouth. "You watch the video ... and there is the disembodied look of the rape victim," DeRogatis said.
- R. Kelly allegedly pressured one high school student to have an abortion. He even "had his goons drive her," according to DeRogatis.
- DeRogatis also implied that R. Kelly may have paid off one of his alleged victims. When DeRogatis wrote one of his stories, the girl, "fresh out of eighth grade," and her family suddenly took a six-month vacation to France. "This was an aluminum-siding, lower-middle-class house on the South Side, with a station wagon which is 13 years old — you know what I mean? And now they're in the south of France," DeRogatis said.
So try and think about that before you decide to drop your hard earned cash on Kelly's "Black Panties" album. Here's hoping that he spends all that cash on getting therapy for his problems.
