R. Kelly Is Illiterate And Other Things That I'm Not Too Shocked About

R. Kelly's younger brother, Carey Kelly gave an interview to The Wendy Williams Experience last Friday centering around parts of his family history and what he knows about R-uh and his um...habits. At first, I thought Carey may have been trying to ride the coattails of the R. Kelly scandal in order to boost his name and his career, but after listening to this interview, I think Carey is being genuine and is just a spectator in all of this mess just like the rest of us.



Here are the highlights:

R. Kelly's defense attorneys tried to assert that it was Carey Kelly and not his famous brother on the sex tape with the underage girl. After R. Kelly let his defense attorneys go along with pursuing the accusation and did not stand up for him, Carey became highly pissed.

When R. Kelly's mother was diagnosed with cancer and in the hospital, Kelly allowed his mother to stay within the county hospital which offered sub-standard care. When their mother died, she was buried with a cheap headstone. News which is surprising when you realize how much music Kelly has written regarding the great woman his mother was.

Carey Kelly's daughter was "stomped" by a group of teenage girls who were upset that her father spoke out against R. Kelly to the media.

Carey Kelly says that his brother Robert has extreme control issues in his professional and personal life and that can factor in his attraction to younger, controllable women.

R. Kelly is functionally illiterate. I believe that. Have you ever survived sitting through an interview he's given? Damn, I cannot find the most perfect example of this--when he gave an interview to BET's Ed Gordon following the release of the sex tape, I thought I tuned into Buckwheat guest hosting for Donnie Simpson on Video Soul.
