R. Kelly Walks Out of HuffPost Live Interview After Feeling Interrogated

R. Kelly's album The Buffet is out now and the talented but controversial singer joined Huffington Post Live for an interview that did not go well for the Chicago native. HuffPost host Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani opened up the forum for fans to ask questions via Twitter and after being tossed a few softballs, Kelly was prompted by the host about the low sales of The Buffet. Soon enough, questions about Kelly's history of alleged sexual relationships with underage girls and the conflict fans feel when trying to balance being a fan of his music and the fact that he has been accused of heinous acts started to pour in.

Once put on the hot seat, the interview unsurprisingly started to get testy. Around the 11-minute mark, in an attempt to deflect the questions, Kelly began rambling about his success and cited all the fans that continue to come to his concerts. He then accused Modarressy-Tehrani of trying to get a juicy answer out of him so she can make headlines.

The conversation turned bizarre as Kelly began threatening to leave the set if anymore "negative questions" were asked. "What I'm gonna tell you is that I am going to sit here and talk to you like the beautiful woman you are and I'm going to talk to you with respect," he said. "And I'm going to let you know that any other negative things that come out of your mouth, I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna walk out and I'm gonna go to McDonald's, hopefully the McRib is out. Then I'm gonna go to Chicago, play some basketball, go to the studio and work on my next album."

The host then asked Kelly about his sultry lyrics and relationship with sex to which he responded, "I did not come here to get interrogated. I didn't come here for a deposition....This sounds sort of like a deposition...This is not about R. Kelly, this is not about music, this is not about someone who works hard on his music who has an album out. This is about trying to interrogate me and this is about disrespect."

Shortly thereafter, R. Kelly ended the interview, told the host she was beautiful and left the set.

In November, R. Kelly was featured in New York Magazine and was asked  point blank if he has sexual attraction to underage girls. “That’s a rumor that comes from the Earth, like all rumors,” the singer responded. “No. It’s not true. I love women, period. If I wasn’t a celebrity, people wouldn’t be saying these things about me.”
