R. Kelly’s daughter makes explosive accusations in a new documentary that she claims she was sexually abused by her father.
R. Kelly’s Kids Speak Out
On Friday (October 11), the TVEI network launched a new documentary series, “R. Kelly’s Karma: A Daughter’s Journey,” focusing on the impact of the troubled singer’s life on his children. In new revelations, Kelly’s 26-year-old daughter Abby claims she was sexually abused by her father when she was around 8 or 9 years old. She said she woke up one night to find the singer touching her. Tubby said she eventually told her mother, Andrea Kelly, the singer’s ex-wife who filed the complaint in 2009.
“I didn’t know that even if he was a bad guy, he would do something to me,” Abi said through tears in the documentary. “I really feel like that millisecond really changed my life.”
A trailer for the docuseries can be seen below.

R. Kelly’s attorney responds to accusations
Jennifer Bonjean of R. Kelly Lawyers provided the following statement to XXL in response to the allegations.
“Mr. Kelly vehemently denies these allegations,” the statement read. “His ex-wife made the same accusation several years ago, which was investigated by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, but was unfounded. He has been investigated by more than a dozen state and federal law enforcement agencies across the country. You really Think they actually do that? Or that his team even allows him to deny these hurtful claims.
R. Kelly was convicted of sex trafficking and racketeering in New York in 2022 and is currently serving a 30-year sentence in prison. Both sentences will run simultaneously.
