Andrea Lee Kelly

Andrea Lee Kelly is the former ex-wife of R&B idol, R Kelly –real name Robert Sylvester also known for his alleged, questionable sexual behavior.



Last October he was accused of leading a ***-fueled “cult” at his home by the parents of his live-in girlfriend, Joycelyn Savage. At the time a former girlfriend, Kitti Jones –was also vocal about what she went through while dating the millionaire artist.

Jones made shocking revelations to Rolling Stone, saying Kelly was abusive during their relationship. She also said Kelly made her have *** with him and others inside what she characterized as a “*** dungeon.” Jones shockingly revealed her then boyfriend told her he had been grooming a girl in particular, since she was 14.

The 51-year-old star continues to deny all the claims made against him. Though Kelly has enjoyed major success in his career, the Chicago native is currently being hunted by abuse claims made by a number of women, plus the recent docuseries ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ –which recounts his numerous victims, one of them his former wife, Drea Kelly.
