R. Kelly’s Daughter Joann Kelly to Share a “Heartbreaking Secret” in Upcoming Documentary – E! Online

“If my son asks questions I’m going to be as truthful as possible,” she said, “but I would not be taking my son to a prison to meet his grandfather.”

Kelly will be 78 when he eligible for release from prison in 2045. In April, a federal appeals court upheld his convictions on child pornography and enticement charges, more than 18 months after the conclusion of his trial in Chicago, WTTW reported.

Joann’s mother, Kelly’s ex-wife Drea Kelly, also appears in the documentary. “Just because you’re not a good husband, doesn’t mean you can’t be a good father. And the fact that he didn’t even try,” the 50-year-old said in the trailer. “What he did to me, he did to me. But you didn’t have to do it to my damn kids.”
