R&B singer R. Kelly denies holding women captive

But the report said that police have looked into allegations and not taken action as the women are of legal age and are seen as in consensual relationships.

Fair enough. Not that the police in Atlanta and Chicago are the most honest, mind.

The daughter, Jocelyn Savage, denied coercion in a video interview with gossip site TMZ.

"I only want to say that I am in a happy place with my life and I'm not being brainwashed or anything like that," she said, while declining to answer more detailed questions about her conditions.

Ok. So far, so good.

In 2008, he was acquitted of charges of child pornography after the Chicago Sun-Times reported that it had a video of the singer involved in sexual acts with an underage girl.

Hmmm. All too difficult to say. As usual; all the facts aren't here. If women are being held captive then Kelly needs his wings clipped.

At the moment it's rumour and conflicting narratives.

Likely a money grab as it always is with has-been celebrities. On the positive side, his transformation into Morgan Freeman is nearing completion.

Except he looks nothing like Morgan Freeman, if that's what you're getting at?

Besides, Freeman is one of the most talented people out there. Unlike Kelly.

Bizarre and disturbing story. The women may be adults, but it doesn't mean they aren't vulnerable. I hope there was more investigation than just the police checking their age.

Everything about this story rings true, except for one thing. One of the women was 21, which seems much too old for him.

Isn't this the same guy who married a 15 year old, and then had sexual relations with his 14 year old goddaughter? If so, I think they need to do a little more investigating.

No mention of his marriage to Alliyah when she was very young? This guy has issues with woman and is abusive. No idea why the industry continues to turn a blind eye.

He doesn't need to hold anyone captive since there always have been and always will be an endless line of trashy women at every concert he performs at (same with all bands/artists) waiting for the nod to go to his green room, bus, or hotel room.

The industry turns a blind eye because guys get to live our their fantasies on the road - whether good or bad. And there are always a stream of women in every city, state, country, etc willing to let them do whatever they want so they can have a story to tell their girlfriends.
