This Just In: R. Kelly Sleeps With Legal Adult, Parents Pissed

George Daniels, husband of recently dismissed R. Kelly publicist Regina Daniels and longtime Chicago music scene fixture, is attempting to shame a clearly unshamable man, raising a stink that Kelly “crossed a line,” this one moral, when he engaged in an affair with the Daniels’ daughter. Turns out those “ROCK SOLID” rumors about the relationship from November were actually true, except for the part about Daniels’ daughter being 19, as the alleged affair occurred after Maxine Daniels was old enough to buy her own wine coolers. Jeez, the R.’s publicists should know better than anyone that the man only starts sweating if his transgressions involve possible jail time.

It was rumored Kelly slept with the Daniels’ then 21-year-old daughter, but was unconfirmed until recently, when Daniels, a respected music retail vet, came forward on Guy Black’s morning show.

“He crossed the line with my daughter,” Daniels said. “It didn’t get to the extreme of that [sex tape] video or else I wouldn’t be here, if you know what I’m talking about . . . When you’re 21, and if you’ve been there already like I’ve been many years ago, you’re still 15 to 16 mentally. You’re vulnerable.”

Kells–who, for his part, has several other problems pending (kiddie porn trial starts May 9! Maybe! Who knows!)–says that the Daniels initially saw “no problem with the relationship–indeed they encouraged it–while Ms. Daniels was on Mr. Kelly’s payroll.” George Daniels, meanwhile, says that parents need to keep an eye out for predators with the patience to see a (very) long-range plan finally come together: “There are guys who sit around and give your child a couple of bucks to go to school and then wait until they get a little older, then they set that trap.”
