Joycelyn Savage breaks her silence and responds to the video her parents released about her being brainwashed.
Savage, one of R.Kelly’s alleged victims and mother of his child, released a video on social media to give an update about her family’s concern for her. At the beginning of the video she said, “My name is Joycelyn Savage, I’m 29 years old and I’ll be 30 next month. I am not a victim. I’ve been with Robert for ten years, he has been incarcerated for six years, and I have seen him every weekend for the past six years.”
As the video continued, she revealed that she proposed to the disgraced singer and he said yes. “We are planning on getting married and having a family,” she said. “Please do not believe the lies that my mother and father are coming out here saying about me and Robert. I am not held against my will, I am not a sex slave, I am not brainwashed or any of those crazy lies that were told on me. I just want Robert to get the righteous justice that he deserves, because he deserves to be free. Enough is enough.”
She asked for the public to pray for Kelly and said that she believes he will be released soon. “I choose not to call my mother and father because I do not want to talk to them,” she continued. “I have a cellphone, and I choose not to call them. I’m a grown woman, and if I decide not to call them, that’s my choice. It is what it is. I’m happy where I’m at, I’m in love. I’m good.”
R.Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2022 by a New York jury on multiple charges, including kidnapping, forced labor, and sexual exploitation of children. He was later sentenced to 20 years in prison by a Chicago jury on similar charges.
