R Kelly has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. Countless accusations of rape from multiple women have been levelled against him though no charges have been officially filed.

To add more woes to his misery and already tainted image, popular talk-show Sister Circle on Wednesday, June 13, shared videos of an interview they had with his ex-wife Andrea Kelly.  In the emotional videos, Andrea, who was married to the R&B crooner between 1996 and 2009 spoke candidly about her tumultuous and abusive marriage to him.

About the moment and day she walked away from the toxic relationship, she said she remembered playing sick all day and even contemplating suicide. “I remember looking down. It’s almost like God was able to let me see in the future. I saw my body laying in blood, I saw ambulance come, the housekeeping coming out and saying, ‘She jumped from there.’ I remember hearing my babies voices, ‘Why did Mommy jump? Why did she leave us like this?’ And I said, ‘Okay God. You have to give me an answer, not today, not tomorrow, right now.” She said as she stood on the balcony of the hotel she was lodging in with one foot on the ledge.

In the second video, she spoke with the parents of Joycelyn Savage, a woman who accused R Kelly of allegedly holding her ‘hostage’ in his sex cult. Take a look at what she had to tell them in the video below:
