R Kelly’s fiancée, Joycelyn Savage, says she is pregnant with his child, Entertainment Tonight reported Wednesday.
However, a lawyer for Kelly — who is a convicted sex offender — denied Savage’s claim on Wednesday, according to E! News.
Savage reportedly made the pregnancy claims in a new book available on Amazon. Titled Love and Joy of Robert, it is reportedly a short volume.
“The book Love and Joy of Robert is one of the books I wrote to keep everyone up to date regarding the shadows of living with Robert,” Savage wrote in a description of the book. “I went from living in a place where no one cared about my mental health to being able to live the best life I could. Taking part in this book was the first part of my experience of something I cannot ever get over, and I was able to share something Robert did not want to be known to the public, but I begged him to reveal that information to his fans.”
Savage added that she will release a follow-up book next year.
R Kelly’s Legal Woes Continue
Shortly after reports of Savage’s alleged pregnancy announcement hit, news about the start of R. Kelly’s new trial also began circulating.
Prosecutors told a federal jury Wednesday that he had sex with minors multiple times and recorded alleged sexual assaults. They also accused Kelly of paying people who knew about the VHS tapes to remain quiet, NBC News reports.
R Kelly faces a 30-year prison sentence for racketeering and sex trafficking. Savage is an alleged sex slave and her parents say she has been “brainwashed” by Kelly, per Bossip.com.
Kelly and Savage recently became engaged recently. He is reportedly using her to plead to a judge for leniency.
“Savage attempted to portray the incarcerated artist in a positive light. She claimed she’s ‘not the victim’ the government portrayed her to be in a letter to Judge Ann Donnelly.”
