R. Kelly Sent Back To Jail

by Daryl Nelson

R. Kelly has been taken back to jail.

This time it was for failing to pay child support to his ex-wife Drea Kelly, who he owes 200k. The singer was given a deadline to cough up $161,633 by 10 a.m., Wednesday Central Time. TMZ reports that Kelly knew about the deadline for a month now, and owing any more than $20,000 in child support is considered a felony.

For his non-payment, the singer was taken back to jail today at about 1:35 p.m.

All of this comes on the same day Kell's interview with CBS This Morning aired, on which he tearfully denied having a sex cult, something that he was accused of last year. 

Last month Kelly was hit with 10 counts of criminal sexual abuse after a videotape was given to prosecutors which shows him having sex with a girl who refers to her body parts as being 14 years old.

You can see footage of Kelly being taken to jail below and some of his female supporters not being very happy about it.
