4 year oldR. Kelly would relive the ways he was molested as a child by subjecting his ex-girlfriend to sick sex games in the bedroom, she claims in an explosive new interview airing Thursday.
Kitti Jones told Dr. Oz that she was “slapped, kicked” and starved until she passed out during her two-year relationship with the fallen R&B star, who was so controlling she even had to ask permission to use the restroom.
The “I Believe I Can Fly” singer confided in her that he had been “sexually abused” as a child by “a man in the neighborhood,” Jones, 41, told the show in an interview airing Thursday afternoon.
“Later in the relationship, there were things that he would ask me to do to him, sexually, that I connected to the abuse,” said Jones, looking clearly uncomfortable at the memory.
“And that’s when I would feel really ill doing it to him because I knew where it was coming from. It was some pretty graphic things,” she said in clips shared with The Post.
Jones, who is a DJ, said that when she was beaten by Kelly “it felt like it lasted forever.”
“I was being starved excessively,” she added, saying the “longest that I had gone was almost three days, but I had passed out.”
She said life was so restrictive she had to ask “a runner” to ask the singer’s permission even to go to the restroom.
Jones also suggested that it was impossible to speak out because no one would believe her in the pre-#MeToo era.
“We weren’t living in the climate that we’re in now,” she told Dr. Oz of the relationship she says was from 2011-2013.
“It would have just looked funny to people because the narrative out there was always, he’s only attracted to young woman, underage. So, I’m a grown woman, who’s gonna believe me? So, I had to make it work.”
The singer has previously denied Jones’ claims against him. “Any claim of wrongdoing of any kind or of mistreatment of any woman by him is false, ill-motived and defamatory,” a rep said when Jones spoke out in 2017.
He famously flew into a shouting rage during an interview with Gayle King “CBS This Morning” last March while denying allegations against him, insisting, “I’m fighting for my f—ing life.”
