R.Kelly’s crisis manager steps down, reveals he cannot leave his daughter with a pedophile
Darrell Johnson has stepped down from his position as R.Kelly’s crisis manager. He also revealed that he can not leave his daughter with an accused pedophile in an interview.
Speaking on the matter Johnson said, “I step down as crisis manager for personal reasons. Mr. Kelly is in good hands with Mr. Greenberg,”. Steve Greenberg is the criminal defense attorney who heads Kelly’s legal team in Chicago.
The news comes hours after Johnson appeared on “CBS This Morning” and told co-host Gayle King that he would never leave his own daughter along with an accused pedophile.
“I would not leave my daughter with anyone that’s accused of being a pedophile. I would not.”
Johnson also said during the interview that he was worried about Kelly, saying he was “a mess,” scared and isolated. He also told King he thinks Kelly is on suicide watch.
The singer has been in solitary confinement with no access to television or contact with other people, Greenberg has said.
Kelly, 52, has been indicted on 18 counts; 13 in Illinois and five in New York that includes sexual exploitation of a child and kidnapping.
The singer is set to be arraigned in a federal court in New York on August 2. He is scheduled to be in a federal court in Chicago on September 4 for a status hearing.
