In the clips, you can see a very distraught R. Kelly. He says he is “tired” of the lies and accusations against him. “I’m very tired of all of the lies,” he states. “I’ve been hearing things, and you know, and seeing things on the blogs and you know, you know, I’m just tired.”
There has been mixed reactions circulating on the internet. Some people are siding with R. Kelly, but many don’t believe his tears. One user states, R. Kelly is a “much better singer than actor,” as well as “he is desperate and distraught because he knows he’s been caught.”
