Azriel Clary, one of the R. Kelly survivors who testified against him in court, is opening up about a 2019 interview with CBS News in which she defended the disgraced R&B singer. Clary said Kelly had told her to "be angry" and coached her on what to say.
Kelly was found guilty on federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges on Monday. He could face life in prison.
Clary was 21 years old when she first sat down with CBS News in 2019. She was still living with Kelly and another woman, Joycelyn Savage. They both defended Kelly and said they were his "girlfriends." Both women claimed he was not abusive, but at the time of the interview, Kelly was nearby and made his presence known to the women.
