He said what he said.
Darrell Johnson is not a lawyer to R. Kelly nor is he defending the singer his many inappropriate actions. Darrell has been labelled as R. Kelly’s spiritual advisor, PR person and more recently his crisis manager. However, just because Darrell is working with the disgraced singer doesn’t mean he would ever let his daughter be in a room alone with him.
Darrell recently chatted with Gayle King on Monday’s CBS This Morning and was asked about his 20-year-old daughter and whether he would let R. Kelly be in a room alone with her. “Absolutely not,” he replied. “I wouldn’t leave my daughter with anybody that’s accused pedophilia. Period.”
