One of R. Kelly‘s girlfriends is no longer defending him.
After defending him in an interview back in March, Joycelyn Savage, who has been living with the 52-year-old rapper since she was 19, is opening up about her experience with him, saying that she is a “victim” of his sexual and psychological abuse.
In her first post to a Patreon page created to share her testimonials, the 24-year-old aspiring model and singer talked about meeting R. Kelly at a concert back in 2015, where he told her that he would help her become a singer.
“Robert would always look at me in a sexual way the first couple of times we met occasionally,” Joycelyn wrote before adding that after several months together, R. Kelly would have her address him as “master” or “daddy.”
“It started getting worse by day by day, he would raise his voice at me if I didn’t call him by those two names,” Joycelyn wrote. “If Robert called me I would have to reply with ‘Yes, daddy’ or ‘Please daddy’ he was so controlling.”
Joycelyn continued: “I can say I didn’t have any type of privacy at all now that I think of it. If I showered one of his assistant would have to be by the door while I shower. At the moment I kept thinking to myself why is all of this, does he think I will run away? Or go back home. That’s exactly what he thought he didn’t want me to leave at all.”
Joycelyn then alleges that R. Kelly would ask her, “’All this can stop today, you want a career?’ Or do you want to live a normal life[?]‘”
Joycelyn did not comment on the status of her relationship with R. Kelly today.
R. Kelly is currently in federal prison after being arrested earlier in July, and is accused of having sex with minors.
