R. Kelly "Unequivocally Denies" Allegations That He Is Holding Women Against Their Will

RadioOnFire.com - Legendary R&B singer R. Kelly on Monday denied allegations from parents that he is holding several women against their will in a "cult" — a response to a BuzzFeed News investigation published earlier in the day.

"Mr. Robert Kelly is both alarmed and disturbed by the recent revelations attributed to him," Kelly's lawyer, Linda Mensch, told BuzzFeed News. "Mr. Kelly unequivocally denies such accusations and will work diligently and forcibly to pursue his accusers and clear his name." TMZ first reported the denial.

In response to Kelly's denial, BuzzFeed News released this statement: "We stand fully behind the story, which was based on nine months of interviews and old-fashioned investigative reporting."
