R. Kelly denied it . . . He lied to me to my face.
George Daniels, the husband of R. Kelly’s former publicist Regina
Daniels, claimed on Los Angeles radio station KJLH this week that R. Kelly
“crossed the line” with his daughter.
In 2007, Regina Daniels released a statement announcing her resignation
from her post as R. Kelly’s publicist. “My resignation was effective as
of August 28, 2007. Throughout the course of my 25 years as a publicist,
I have prided myself on loyalty, respect and professionalism. It saddens
me that I was not always shown those same courtesies during my 14 year
tenure as Mr. Kelly’s publicist,” she wrote.
“Though I have a great appreciation for Mr. Kelly as an artist, there are some lines that should never be crossed professionally or personally. Mr. Kelly crossed a line that forever altered the scope of our relationship. For this reason I made the decision to resign. My husband, music retailer George Daniels, has also disassociated himself from Mr. Kelly.”
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.”
Daniels says that his daughter eventually admitted that she and Kelly had a sexual relationship, which led to Daniels confronting Kelly.
"He denied it,” Daniels said. “He lied to me to my face."
Daniels said he decided to come forward to alert other parents. "It's for other fathers and mothers because it doesn't have to be a superstar, it could be the dude on the corner,” he said. “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.”
Calls to KJLH were not immediately returned.

What people seem to forget is that R. Kelly was married at the time of this incident as well as when he made the tape with the young chick. I am a firm believer of "It Takes Two." So Kells is not 100% at fault. I don't think it's about Kelly wanting to deal with a grown chick, the underlying fact is that he was married and his kids were living in the house with him when all this took place.
I don't think people are hating and if so for what?

R Kelly's wife is no victim here. She's been standing by her man through out his stinking sagas - let her stand by him again. She's not going to get any respect from Kelly because no matter how much he f**ks up -she takes it.

heres a response from kellz spokesman
---------------------------------------------------------
George and Regina Daniels not only knew about the relationship, but they also encouraged it while Regina was still on Kelly's payroll. "It was Regina Daniels ... who persuaded [Kelly] to attend her stepdaughter's 21st birthday party," the spokesman said. "And it was Regina Daniels who shortly thereafter gave her stepdaughter Mr. Kelly's private phone number, with the admonition: 'Don't tell your father.' "
Kelly's spokesman claimed Daniels resigned to avoid being fired "for incompetence," and it was only afterward that the relationship became an issue for her and her husband. As for their outrage, "It's hard to take seriously," the spokesman said.
