R. Kelly Swears He Wouldn’t Pee On Anyone “Illegal,” Forgets Child Bride Aaliyah

R. Kelly gave his first interview since his sex trial to BET yesterday, and it might be the last time he talks about the years-long adventure in litigation. “It’s time for me to move on,” said the Pied Pisser of R&B. “I can’t keep answering these questions. If you was charged with something and you was found innocent, then you can’t be found guilty for being found innocent.” So true!

Despite the inability to be found guilty of being found innocent, Kelly is still wary of admitting his comfort with underage flesh. When interviewer Toure asked if he liked teenage girls, Kelly responded brusquely, “Nineteen? I have some 19-year-old fans. I don’t like anybody illegal, if that’s what you’re talking about.” It sounds like R. Kelly is the only r&b star who doesn’t remember Aaliyah, the late singer/actor he married in the mid-90s, when she was only 15.

Blessed by this lapse in memory, Kells hopes the trial will have a “positive impact” on his career. “If the 12 people who didn’t know me, after hearing the facts and listening to everything, could find me innocent, [I hope that] people around the world could do the same thing.” Actually, they found him “not guilty.” It’s a slight—but important—difference.
