R. Kelly Storms Out of Live Interview After Questions About Sexual Abuse Reports
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, another high-profile figure accused of sexual
abuse—musician R. Kelly—walked out of a live interview Monday after
a host asked him about repeated accusations that he sexually abused
minors. Huff Post Live host Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani questioned him
about the claims.

Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani: "What do you say to the multiple fans, the
many fans who are watching and listening, that say there have been
multiple accusations against you, against young women in Chicago, and
they are concerned about your past, and that's impacting them from
purchasing your music sales?"

R. Kelly: [talking over Modarressy-Tehrani] "I say I love my fans. I say
I love my fans. I say I love all of my fans. People that are against me,
people that are with me, I love them all. I love them all. It doesn't
matter who they are. If they hate me, they love me, they want to destroy
me, whatever, I love them all. And I love you, too."

Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani: "You don't need to give me any of your
love, sir."

R. Kelly: "I love everybody."
