Buku Abi, R. Kelly’s estranged daughter, who called her father a “monster” has revealed that he se*xually abused her as a child.
Speaking in a two-episode documentary Karma: after the release of the Surviving R. Kelly docuseries in 2019 Abi alleged that the singer s*xually abused her when she was 8 or 9 years old.
In the documentary which premiered on October 11, Abi, 26, claims she was abused by her father as a child, and she first reported it to her mother Andrea in 2009, when she was 10 years old.
“He was my everything. For a long time, I didn’t even want to believe that it happened. I didn’t know that even if he was a bad person he would do something to me,” she says in the documentary, the first episode of which is streaming now.
“I was too scared to tell anybody. I was too scared to tell my mom.”
Though Abi, who was born Joann Kelly, does not go into detail about the alleged abuse in the first episode, she says that she believes jail is a “well-suited place” for Kelly, 57, to be, as she knows from her “personal experience.”
