WTF was that? R Kelly dominates timelines after TV meltdown
Sexual assault suspect and Grammy Award-winning musician Robert Kelly is dominating Twitter trends and news headlines after a CBS interview with Gayle King on Wednesday.
Kelly, who has not spoken about the sexual assault charges against him since his arrest, broke his silence by refuting the allegations and insisting he is innocent.
What caught people’s attention was how he lost his temper during the interview, while King remained calm.
His reaction prompted even more people to take to the platform to share their thoughts.
Using the hashtags #RKellyinterview and #RKelly, tweeps said they were simply not buying his side of the story.
See some of the reactions:
If R. Kelly treats Oprah-damn-Winfrey’s best friend like this on television with millions of people watching, just imagine how he treats underage girls with no connections when they’re alone in his basement. pic.twitter.com/YDecUXE3zw

quick question, would #rkelly have pulled that stunt if a man was interviewing him?

#rkellyinterview so his logic is since he was cleared of relations with a minor over a decade ago that clears him of all future relations with minors? What?!
