I didnt do this stuff!
This is not me!
Im fighting for my fucking life!
he said, tears in his eyes.
Kelly often appeared combative with King, interrupting her and raising his voice.
That interview will air Friday, March 8.
Kelly said it would be stupid of him to hold women against their will.
I gave yall 30 years of my career!
And youre trying to kill me?!
This is not about music!
Im trying to have a relationship with my kids!
And I cant do it!
Yall just dont wanna believe the truth!
King pauses the interview and Kellys publicist is brought in to calm him down.
You all quit playing!
I didn’t do this stuff!
This is not me!
I’m fighting for my f***ing life!
Y’all killing me with this sh*t!
“@RKellytold@GayleKing, standing up.

Kelly later continues, This is not true.
It doesnt make sense.
Why would I hold all these women?
Their mothers and fathers told me, We gon destroy your career.
He adds, Its real girls out there missing, being abducted, being raped.
They really are in chains.
Kelly ends his rant by saying he needs someone to help him not have a big heart.
Because my heart is so big people betray me and I keep forgiving em!
he exclaims, pounding his fist into his other hand.
When King says Kelly is painting himself the victim, Kelly retorts, Im just telling the truth.
I have said nothing.
He also tells King that nobody is allowed to be mad at me and scorned and lie on me.
He continues, shaking his head, I have been assassinated.
I have been buried alive.
If you really look at that documentary, everybody says something bad about me.
Nobody said nothing good, he says.
They were describing Lucifer.
I make mistakes, but Im not a devil, and by no means am I a monster.
Kelly blames Savage and Clarys parents for them leaving home to live with him.
What kind of father would sell their daughter to a man?
How come it was okay for me to see them until they wasnt getting no money from it?
He insists the parents handed their daughters over to Kelly.
You believe this fucking facade that our parents are saying.
This is all fucking lies for money!
If you cant see that, youre ignorant and stupid.
CBS will air the rest of their interview on Friday.
Im not really fighting for my career here.
No, no, no, no …
Here I stand in the not all [category].
He also says he is considering therapy.
We have never received a penny from R. Kelly.
We have never asked R. Kelly for money.
And we never sold our daughter to him or anyone else.
R. Kelly is a desperate liar and serial abuser of young girls who should die in prison.
All of the victims and parents cannot be lying.
The Savages will hold a press conference later today to respond to Kellys interview.
