The Celebrity Truth

It has been revealed that Regina Daniels, who was employed as R Kelly’s publicist until she quit last November, left her position after the singer allegedly "crossed the line" with her daughter, Daniels’ husband has told a Los Angeles radio station.

George Daniels spoke with radio station KJLH about the singer, mentioning the reported sex tape that shows Kelly having sex with a young girl.

"He crossed the line with my daughter [Maxine]," Mr Daniels said. 

"It didn’t get to the extreme of that video or else I woulen’t be here, if you know what I’m talking about."

According to Mr. Daniels, his daughter "told him the truth", but the singer denied the accusations.

"He lied to me, to my face," Mr Daniels said.

A spokesman for Kelly released a statement to TMZ.com explaining the relationship with Maxine Daniels saying:

"It’s hard to take seriously the moral outrage expressed by George and Regina Daniels over R. Kelly’s relationship with Mr. Daniels’ adult daughter, Maxine. The fact is that they had no problem with the relationship — indeed, they encouraged it — while Ms. Daniels was on Mr. Kelly’s payroll.

"It was Regina Daniels, then working as a publicist for Mr. Kelly, who persuaded him to attend her step-daughter’s 21st birthday party. And it was Regina Daniels who shortly thereafter gave her step-daughter Mr. Kelly’s private phone number, with the admonition: ‘Don’t tell your father.’ It was only after Ms. Daniels resigned her position to avoid being fired for incompetence that her stepdaughter’s relationship suddenly became an issue for her and her husband."

Kelly is currently up on unrelated charges of 14 counts of child pornography, to which he has pleaded not guilty. He is set to face court later this year.
