R. Kelly’s Lawyer Spars With Press: "He is A Rock Star. He Would not Have Nonconsensual Intercourse"


R. Kelly’s legal professional will get into it with a Chicago-based cultural critic.

R. Kelly‘s legal professional held a press convention in response to his shopper’s bond being set on the princely quantity $1 million. With the media all assembled in a single place, legal professional Steve Greenberg started discrediting his shopper’s accusers one after the opposite. 

“On one the circumstances, there are a selection interviews the place the younger girl says, ‘I lied about how outdated I used to be,'” Greenberg tells reporters on the eight:05 mark the above video, – “after which not too long ago stated, ‘Oh no, I lied about mendacity about how outdated I used to be.'”

Quickly after making these claims, Jim DeRogatis, an American music critic based mostly out Chicago, interrupts Greenberg to level out a negligible error, as a result of theoretically talking, the accuser in query did present R. Kelly an ID card, after coming to grips with their dysfunctional association. “Don’t misquote a sufferer, Mr. Greenberg,” DeRogatis interjects. “That is not what she stated.. she was right here at present. Did you see her tears?” 

At this level, Greenberg singles DeRogatis out by questioning his objectivity – suggesting the author’s upcoming ebook on the R. Kelly case, previous and current, is the rationale to consider he is half the opposition get together.

“I do not give a fuck about promoting a single ebook,” DeRogatis fired again. “I’ve talked to that lady, and I’ve talked to 47 others. I am not Mr. Michael] Avenatti and I am not you.”

Greenberg finally alleted the strain by skipping forward within the dialogue. He later reiterated that R. Kelly was a “Rock Star” to cite the 2007 Kellz hit, his level being: “Rock Stars” do not have a necessity for “nonconsensual intercourse,” – riddle me that.
