R. Kelly's Daughter Speaks On The Sexual Allegations Against Her Dad

by HHL JT

Being R. Kelly's daughter in 2018 can't be a lot of fun.

The R&B legend has been accused of running a sex cult, grooming young girls, and giving people STDs.

Last week, Kells' publicist, assistant, and lawyer all quit.

But his daughter Joann Kelly has a permanent position with the 51-year old.

She addressed the situation in an interview with TMZ.

"I don't have much of a comment. It’s very close to my heart. It’s just hard ’cause it’s family matters. But overall, it’s hard. I try not to speak about it too much, but it is what it is. I feel terrible,” she said.

The cameraman then asked if she's close to her dad.

“We’re family," she said diplomatically.  "We’re gonna deal with each other.”

Was TMZ wrong to ask Joann about this?
