Reports State R. Kelly Can Go Back To Jail If He Doesn’t Pay Back Child Support, Over $150,000

It appears that Robert R. Kelly can’t have the relationship with his kids that he claims he wants in recent interview with Gayle King.

Last year, Andrea Kelly opened up about the abuse she suffered from R. Kelly, as well as Robert’s relationship with his kids. She spoke on how her kids were mortified about the prior sex tape situations and how school officials would tell her they didn’t want Robert anywhere near the school.

“He’s not paying for any of our children. He stopped paying child support,” which Andrea says is some form of punishment.

Last month, Robert was arrested on new charges, and was released after a friend paid $100,000. According to the court records obtained by The Chicago Tribune, “three of the indictments referred to a minor between the ages of 13 and 16, according to the charges.”

According to the Chicago Sun, “A Cook County judge last month issued an order that would send Kelly to jail if he doesn’t pay $161,663 he owes his ex-wife by 10 a.m. Wednesday. The singer also is due at a hearing in the child support case at the Daley Center at 2 p.m.”
