Neither R.Kelly or the "alleged victim" testified in the case, but the prosecution had a star witness (Lisa Van Allen) that said she engaged in three-way sex with R.Kelly and this "alleged victim"
    -I don't know about R.Kelly, but if it was me in his situation...I would've wanted to get up on that stand and argue for myself that I wasn't guilty, even though he probably was. I know that he has money in places he can't even find it, and can hire attournies that eat Jeffrey Figer's courtcases for breakfast, but I would want to at least put a good two cents in...everyone knows he could afford it. Hell, even I have two cents in the pocket of my comfortable pocketless pajama pants. Yay for Deliahs, they were on sale too.

The defense attourneys argued "The man on the tape" (coughrkellycough) didn't have a large mole on his back like R. Kelly does. The D.A even said that Kelly's likeness could have been "computer-generated". Even though a "defense witness" told the jury there wasn't mole on the man's back in the sex tape, the prosecution witness displayed freeze frames of the same sex tape. In these freeze frames, a dark 'spot' could be seen as the man turns to take off his pants.
    -Are they serious? Computer generated? I know there are some people out there dying, perhaps even literally, to create dirt on celebs...but who would really go as far as to computer generate an entire sex tape. If they computer generated this man's back to look like R.Kelly, then maybe it's possible that  Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee are all "computer generated" as well. Alert the press! ...I still can't believe they spent precious hours over a finger-nail sized mole. I mean, sure I would want to maybe spend some time talking about someone if they had a Godzilla sized tumor, a mole the shape of The Virgin Mary or Jesus...but a regular fingernail sized mole, that's boring. How dark was the "location" where this sex tape was filmed? I don't mean to sound racist, but R. Kelly's skin isn't that lightly colored...and I'm pretty sure moles arn't white so when in situations such as these they can just scream out "I did it, I did it! Convict me already!". I think what they should've done, is re-create the sceanario with a little "Bump N' Grind" and see what happens then.


While the defense was trying to discredit Van Allen when she told the jury that she and the "alleged victim" had several three-way sexual "encounters" with R. Kelly. One of the places included a basketball court. Van Allen also said R. Kelly used to carry a duffel bag filled with his homemade sex tapes. But...thanks to a cross-examination, when the defense was trying to discredit Van Allen while accusing her of trying to extort money from R. Kelly, she admited to stealing his $20,000 diamond-studded watch from a hotel.
    -Three-way "sexual encounters", not my cup of tea...but it was his apparently. He even, apparently, set up a cozy tea party on a basketball court. I wonder if Kobe Bryant was there as well. I bet they would've fit in well together next to The Mad Hatter from Disney's "Alice In Wonderland", although in this case it should probably be "Alice In Wonderland ft. R. Kelly and Kobe Bryant" produced by Chi-Town. A dufflebag filled with his homemade sex tapes? I'm sure someone would've noticed him carrying around something like that. It's not like he needs a break into the entertainment buisiness anyway, so I don't understand the point of him having to carry them around, it's not like sex tapes are musical demo's. You just don't carry them around to hand them out, hoping for a big break. But apparently his next big break was potentially going to the big house. As for stealing the $20,000 watch...good for her, she deserves a nice tip...whether it was "stolen" or not.

It's not like this is the first accusation of having sex with an underage girl, there's been accusations of him having sex with underage girls since 1991! Why are some people so surprised by this? It's just like the speculation of whether Elton John was a homosexual or not, turns out he was (and still is, congrats on your marriage!). It's the same thing with R. Kelly, so you can stop acting surprised. I've grown used to it by now, it's sort of like turning on the news; same situations, but with different people and different places.

For old times sake, I think we should take a trip down memory lane and remember some controversy of R. Kelly
Maybe this can be like a pow-wow around a camp fire, including an acoustic guitar and s'mores. I love those, they're delicious. Yummy.


-The reported marriage to Aaliyah, who was at the time just at the ripe old age of 15.
    And so it begins.

-Rumors that he had married Alex Shipton.
    They both denied that. Yawn, boring.

-Two other sex suits were filed by underage girls. They were both settled and he denied realtions with either one of them. He said that the settlement was only to protect his emerging career.
    Do you smell that? Because I do. "What is it that you smell?", you ask? Well, I'll tell you. It's the smell of LIES. Sure he might have done it to protect his career, but I highly doubt he didn't do it. "Oh, sorry Mr. Prosecutor, I just seemed to have tripped and well...did your father ever give you the 'birds and the bees' talk? Because I swear I didn't do that."

-A woman sued him saying that, while she was 16, he got her pregnant and forced her to get an abortion.
    She just screwed herself out of 18 years of child support, and not just any child support, child support that she could probably live on for the rest of her life. Maybe that's why R. Kelly liked, illegally, young women. Apparently they were easy to influence. I say she should've kept the proof that that the baby was his, and he forced her to get an abortion. He would've been effed then. Besides, if it was true...wouldn't the parents have something to say?

-Besides his trial in Chicago, a county in Florida (Polk County), considered pressing further charges. The charges would include 12 counts of posession of child pornography. The authorities "said" to have found a digital camera, of his, that had 12 pictures of underage girls, three of them showing R. Kelly and a "her" engaged in intercourse
    ...at least it wasn't "engaged to be married".

-There were allegations that in R. Kelly's "duffle bag of goodies" there was one with Deleon Richards, the wife of a Detroit Tiger (Gary Sheffield).
    Me-owwww.

-A dancer sued him for "invasion of privacy" when tapes of her "private acts" had began to get around. She said that the taping was without her consent, the distribution was without her consent, and she was not properly protected.
    Awww, someone sounds like she might be a bit jealous.

-A former employee of Henry "Love" Vaughn filed a lawsuit against, surprise surprise, R. Kelly. He accused R. Kelly of assult, false imprisonment and breach of contract that "Defrauded him of songwriting royalties."
    Well, looks like this man was out of luck. He was the wrong gender AND age for R. Kelly. He might've had more luck with Micheal Jackson, but this man is probably too old for M.J's tastes.

-He once said, and I quote, "I'm the Ali of today. I'm the Marvin Gaye of today. I'm the Bob Marley of today. I'm the Martin Luther King, or all the other greats that have come before us. And a lot of people are starting to realize that now."
    ....Don't flatter yourself, honestly.

-He compared his legal troubles to Osama Bin Ladin once in an interview, Blender magazine to be exact. He said, I quote once again, "Bin Ladin is the only one how knows exactly what I'm going through"
    PUH-LEEZE! I honestly doubt that Bin Ladin even knows who R. Kelly is. That's probably one of the last people he would want to, even remotely, compare himself with beacuse...you know...If you compare yourself with one of the most, if not the most, wanted terrorist in America it'll score you brownie points. Way to go. If you want to say someone knows what you're going through, call up Micheal Jackson.

Thanks for reading through this...rant of mine.
