R. Kelly's Publicist: I Believe I Can Quit!

R. KellyRegina Daniels, who worked as R. Kelly's publicist for 14 years, has formally announced her decision to end all ties with the platinum pisser. What took her so long?

In her statement, Daniels writes, "I have prided myself on loyalty, respect and professionalism. It saddens me that I was not always shown those same courtesies during my 14-year tenure as Mr. Kelly's publicist ... There are some lines that should never be crossed professionally or personally. Mr. Kelly crossed a line that forever altered the scope of our relationship. For this reason I made the decision to resign." Daaaaaamn!

Five years ago R. Kelly was charged with 14 counts of child pornography. He has yet to go to trial, but proceedings should kick off next spring.

63. Let me start by saying, the action of the aforementioned "Mr. Kelly" are despicable it is long past, high time for his payment regarding these matters. As for his former publicist it seems she has finally come face to face with her own soul, and perhaps the contempt of her maker or the torment of her demons. Whatever the case is I pray for her...

Now in response to #18 who wrote:

"R Kelly is perfect as black example of why black men are most hated world-wide ... racist & sexist & pedophilist & no talent low IQ low class Democrat. - Registered Independent"


I don't even know where to start. I have to be very creative with my understanding of the English language to even make sense of what you actually typed. Your statement only brings validity to an argument that suggests that you sir, are a low IQ wielding, racist.

Allow me to expound. Your stereotypical view and broad sweeping comments regarding black males is in no way exemplary of a focused world view (contrary to your inferences and obvious beliefs). Perhaps you live on the last confederate plantation to free its slaves, but the history of black men both nationally and globally fares far better then your 'R.Kelly Litmus test'.

Furthermore you are a different sort of American icon, I will take great care not to impute your lack of wherewithal onto others who look like you, while I proclaim myself spokesman of the world. With all that being said, this is less a rebuttal to YOU and more so a rebuttal for the reading and thinking community. Along with your list of rights, try to observe a list of responsibilities. We may all have freedom of speech, but each of us must legislate our own integrity.

66. #18 calling you an idiot would be lifting your IQ, I read alot of blogs and if there a black man involve the first comments are about his race before the crime or the character. White racism can be very stupid, when alot of white men are doing this and even more but the media is controlled by white men. Do black men do stupid things absolutely, not taking care of their families is one, rap music itself is destroy the black male youth, and lack of education is another. But black men are not hated anymore than Christians or Jews. Black leadership has always been a problem, with most leaders ignoring the real problems and telling blacks that racism is only problem, hell it's not!!

67. Eric, you can say anything you want, as articulately as you want, and it does not change the fact that R. Kelly's behaviour would not have been tolerated in any other genre of music except hip-hop (sorry but black dominated).
Can you imagine if a country star, a rock star, or even a white hiphop star had been accused of doing what Kelly did with an underage girl? That would be the end, finish, zippo, no more career.
Sometimes blacks really are to blame for how they are perceived.
R. Kelly is a bigger star now than he was before the accusations.
It's not ignorant to notice it. It's ignorant to ignore it.

74. Comment after reading Vanity's words ...
I had NO IDEA the extent of R. Kelly's crime. If you idolize this guy and still patronize his career you need to seriously take stock of your life. You are definetely not on the right track. Someone who could do something like this to a poor, defenseless child should NEVER see the light of day again ... EVER! He is one drugged-up night away from committing the same crime that was perpetrated on Jessica Lundy down in Florida a couple of years ago. This sick ba$tard is obviously an evil, lost soul. His type will be taken care of once he gets to prison ... See Jeffrey Dahmer ...
