In a new BBC3 documentary that’s airing tomorrow night, R. Kelly faces new allegations of sexual misconduct, The Guardian reports. Kitti Jones claimed that at some point during her two years of dating Kelly starting in 2011, she said Kelly introduced her to a girl “that he told me he ‘trained’ since she was 14, those were his words.” She continued, “I saw that she was dressed like me, that she was saying the things I’d say and her mannerisms were like mine. That’s when it clicked in my head that he had been grooming me to become one of his pets. He calls them his pets.”
Jones said Kelly made the unnamed woman “crawl on the floor towards me and perform oral sex on me, and he said, ‘This is my fucking pet, I trained her. She’s going to teach you how to be with me.’” The woman’s age at the time of the alleged incident is unknown. Jones says she herself was groomed by Kelly and forced into sex with him and at least 10 others in his “sex dungeon.” A representative for Kelly offered no comment to Pitchfork.
Last July, Jim DeRogatis reported accusations against Kelly that he allegedly held young women against their will in a Georgia by controlling “every aspect of their lives.” Jones later came forward and detailed her alleged history of sexual and physical abuse from Kelly. Another woman, Jerhonda Pace, claimed that Kelly had sex with her while she was a minor. After the initial report in July, R. Kelly’s lawyer issued a statement saying that the singer “unequivocally denies such accusations.”
