Kelly’s Daughter Buku Says Singer Sexually Abused Her As A Child: ‘I Was Too Scared To Tell Anybody’"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Buku Abi, R. Kelly’s daughter, is coming out publicly for the first time about the abuse she endured as a youngster at the hands of her father.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last minutes of TVEI Streaming Network’s new two-episode documentary Karma: A Daughter’s Journey, which broadcast today, say that Abi, 26, was molested by the artist as a kid and first reported it to her mother Andrea in 2009, when she was ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He was my everything. For a long time, I refused to accept it had really occurred. I had no idea that even if he was a nasty guy, he would do anything to me,” she adds in the documentary, the first episode of which is now online. “I was too scared to tell anyone.” “I was too scared to tell my mother.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though Abi, born Joann Kelly, does not go into detail about the alleged abuse in the first episode, she says she feels prison is a “well-suited place” for Kelly, 57, based on her “personal experience.””I honestly feel like that one instant entirely just altered my whole life and changed who I was as a person and changed the sparkle I had and the brightness I used to carry,” she recounts.” “After telling my mother, I stopped going over there, as did my brother [Robert] and sister [Jaah]. And I still deal with it a lot.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program concludes with information regarding delayed disclosure, which explains how many victims of child sex abuse take years or decades to tell what occurred to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second episode, Buku goes into further detail about the alleged assault, which she claims occurred when she was 8 or 9. “I just remember waking up with him touching me,” she says, weeping. “And I didn’t know what to do, so I just kind of laid there, and I pretended to be asleep.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
