A little more than two weeks ago, Kelly's longtime publicist, Regina Daniels, released a carefully worded announcement that after 14 years she was stepping down as his manager. While she didn't give an exact reason, she said, "Though I have a great appreciation for Mr. Kelly as an artist, there are some lines that should never be crossed professionally or personally. Mr. Kelly crossed a line that forever altered the scope of our relationship. For this reason I made the decision to resign." Daniels also went on to say that her husband had severed all ties with Kelly as well.

Many people assumed that Kelly made an unseemly move on Ms. Daniels, however, knowing Kelly's history of dipping his pen in underage inkwells, I immediately wondered if the Daniels family had a teenage daughter. And guess what? I was right. Turns out Kelly slept with the Daniels' 19-year-old daughter, who's known him since she was four. Charming, eh? Once a child-molesting creep, always a child-molesting creep. There is no cure for pedophilia, folks.
What really sucks here is that Kelly has been able to postpone his criminal case almost indefinitely while he continues to go out and make big bucks. Worse yet, parents continue to let their young daughters go to his concerts. It's like Michael Jackson all over again - just because someone is famous doesn't mean they're not sick in the head. Boycott R. Kelly. Lock him up in a little box somewhere and throw away the key, because he will never change, and young girls will never be safe as long as he's on the street.
