Things are not looking to good for the Black Panties singer R. Kelly. R Kelly is facing jail time, but not for the obvious.R Kelly has fallen behind on his child support payments and if he does not show up in court in March, he could face jail time.
Reports the New York Post:
Kelly — whose latest album, “Black Panties,” debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 in December as his biggest since 2009 — is accused in court papers filed Thursday by his ex-wife Andrea Kelly of failing to pay $20,833 a month in child support he owes. The claim comes after he reportedly fell behind more than $100,000 in payments last year, but then paid the debt off.
Kelly's trouble doesn't end there: One of his attorneys has told Kelly's camp that if the singer doesn't appear at a March 27 hearing in his child- custody battle in Chicago, a judge could give him 30 days to six months behind bars because Kelly didn't show up at a November hearing.
“The judge was clear in November that he wasn't happy R. Kelly didn't show up,” said a source. “His lawyer [James Quigley] is worried the judge could lock Kelly up if he doesn't show this time, but he can't reach his client.”
It is quite ironic how R Kelly can go to jail for back child support but not for the allegations of misconduct with minors. What are your thoughts?
