After being released on bond following charges of aggravated sexual abuse, R. Kelly is speaking out. The controversial R&B singer sat down with CBS This Morning‘s Gayle King for an exclusive one-on-one interview set to air this Wednesday (Mar. 6) at 8 a.m. EST. Before the explosive conversation airs, a preview of the interview was released online.
In the preview, two segments are shown where the Grammy Award-winning singer touches on being acquitted of child pornography charges nearly a decade ago, and allegations he was holding women against their will. While adamently preaching his innocence, R. Kelly broke down crying. “I didn’t do this stuff! This is not me. I am fighting for my f**ing life,” yelled the 52-year-old. “How stupid would I be to do that?”
