After nearly five years since R. Kelly was charged with several criminal counts of child pornography, his wife, Andrea Lee Kelly, finally speaks in the latest issue of Essence magazine.
In the interview, she talks about how few people seem to realize R. Kelly even has a wife, let alone one with whom he's had three children — two girls, ages 9 and 7, and a 5-year-old boy. Andrea was pregnant with their son when the news broke of the alleged R. Kelly sex tape, for which he is currently awaiting trial.
Part of the reason she stayed silent then, she says now, is that she was trying to protect their children — being "a lioness" for her cubs. "They may say, 'Mom and Dad went through a storm,' " she said. "But it's not the storm I want them to remember, it's how their mom came out of it."
Still she goes on to insist that the reason for the split was not because of the criminal charges. "I'm no fair-weather wife," she told the magazine. "I have children. I would never do anything to hurt their father. We have a bond that we will have for the rest of our lives because we have children. ... That we filed for divorce is not that important."
She also doesn't believe that R. Kelly is the man on the tape at the center of the criminal charges. "C'mon," she said. "Who would believe all that? That's why they call them allegations." But at the same time, she also says she hasn't seen the tape and never looked for it.
This woman is the biggest damn fool in the world...Girl it's not the drama associated with the infidelity, it's the lack of regard for your life. He could have brought her home a fatal disease called AIDS...ever heard of it. And she's sitting in Essence skinning and grinning. She makes me sick.
