<\/div>\n

R. Kelly<\/a> rebuffed allegations of abuse made by his ex-wife and discussed his worsening financial situation in the second part of his interview with Gayle King on CBS This Morning<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kelly\u2019s ex, Andrea Kelly, accused the singer of domestic violence in the docuseries, Surviving R. Kelly<\/em>. On CBS, Kelly refuted the accusations, calling them \u201clies\u201d and saying, \u201cIt never happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cI\u2019m not disrespecting her by saying she\u2019s not telling the truth. I\u2019m just being honest\u2026 Somebody sent me something on my phone and it said that I hogtied her. I don\u2019t know how to hogtie people. Why would I hogtie her? My kids is listening to this, all of this nonsense and I ain\u2019t been able to spend no time with them. This is real. This is not a lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked what kind of relationship he had with his children, Kelly said, \u201cZero \u2026 But I know my kids love me. And I\u2019m in love with my kids. I love my kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not long after part one<\/a> of King\u2019s interview with Kelly aired yesterday, the singer was taken back to jail<\/a> for failing to pay over $161,000 in child support owed to Andrea Kelly. He will reportedly stay in jail until he can pay off the sum.<\/p>\n

During his CBS interview \u2013 which was taped prior to his most recent arrest \u2013 Kelly grew emotional and frustrated while discussing how he was unable to pay child support. \u201cHow can I pay child support? How?!,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cIf my ex-wife is destroying my name and I can\u2019t work? How can I work? How can I get paid? How can I take care of my kids? How?\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with being unable to pay child support, Kelly notably was unable to post<\/a> the $100,000 bond that was issued after he was arrested and charged<\/a> with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse (a friend ultimately paid the fee). During his interview with King, Kelly admitted that he had not been paying close attention to his finances, saying that when he visited his bank about a month ago, a teller told him that several other people had access to his account.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo many people have been stealin\u2019 my money,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cPeople was connected to my account.\u201d Kelly added that he asked the teller to put the remaining money \u2013 about $350,000 \u2013 into a new account, though he was told the transaction would take about a week to clear. He was indicted and arrested the next day.<\/p>\n

An extended version of King\u2019s interview with Kelly is set to air on CBS Friday March 8th at 8 p.m. ET\/PT.<\/p>\n
