R. Kelly’s daughter has come forward with shocking allegations in a recent documentary, revealing that she was sexually abused by her own father. The new docuseries, titled R. Kelly’s Karma: A Daughter’s Journey, sheds light on the impact the troubled singer’s life had on his children. In the exposé, Abi, Kelly’s 26-year-old daughter, discloses that she was sexually abused by her father when she was just 8 or 9 years old. She recalls waking up one night to find the singer touching her inappropriately. Abi eventually confided in her mother, Andrea Kelly, who filed a complaint in 2009, although it was deemed to be past the statute of limitations.
“I didn’t expect that he, even as a bad person, would do something like that to me,” Abi tearfully expresses in the documentary. “That one moment completely changed my life.”
A preview of the docuseries is available below.
