R Kelly
- Interview with Gayle King on CBS This Morning
- Some dialouge:
- "I am surprised that you agreed to do it. Why are you sitting down with us today?" King
asked the singer.
- "I'm very tired of all of the lies. I've been hearing things, and you know, and seeing things
on the blogs, and you know, you know, I'm just tired," Kelly said.
- "What are the lies that you're hearing that disturb you most?" King asked.
- "Oh my God. Um — all of them, got little girls trapped in the basement ... helicopters
over my house trying to rescue someone that doesn't need rescuing because they're not
in my house," he said, adding, "Handcuffing people, starving people. I have a harem,
what you call it — a cult. I don't even really know what a cult is. But I know I don't have
one."

allegations.
