R. Kelly has been arrested again.
R. Kelly appeared on CBS This Morning on Wednesday, in an exclusive interview with Gayle King in regards to his charges of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. The singer had an explosive, emotional meltdown where he denied all allegations against him.
While R. Kelly has pleaded not guilty to all 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse and is out on bail, he has now been arrested again, but this time for unpaid child support.
According to a report by NBC Chicago, “R. Kelly was taken back into custody in Cook County Wednesday just after he appeared at a child support hearing at Chicago’s Daley Center.”
According to the Sheriff’s office, Kelly owes $161,633 in child support to ex-wife Drea Kelly. He will need to pay the owed amount in full in order to be released from Cook County Jail.
R. Kelly is due back in court on March 13.
