News outlet @radaronline recently obtained the psychiatric evaluation submitted by R. Kelly’s lawyer ahead of his sentencing last month where he shut down even more heavy allegations. It laid out his childhood abuse and detailed his background. The report was his attempt to convince the judge he wasn’t a monster who deserved decades behind bars. However, the judge clearly wasn’t swayed and ordered Kelly to serve 30 years in prison.
In the report, Kelly claimed that he was the victim of sexual abuse as a child and struggled to fit in as a kid. The doctor also questioned Kelly about his sexuality. Kelly was previously accused of sexual assault by a young man named Louis. During his testimony in court for the 2021 trial, the male accuser alleged that the singer approached him when he was still 17 years old and working in a local McDonald’s drive-thru. Louis said after Kelly slipped him his phone number, he invited him back to the recording studio. The accuser said Kelly asked him what he was willing to do to make it in the music industry.
Despite those claims, the report said, “Mr. Kelly identified his adult sexual interest as heterosexual. Kelly rated himself a one on the Kinsey Scale. A score of one is defined, by Kinsey, as the overwhelming majority of sexual attraction, desire, fantasy or activity is with members of the opposite sex (heterosexual); homosexual experiences are infrequent and largely experimental,” Per Radar Online.

As we previously reported, the singer has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for using his R&B superstar status to manipulate young fans into systematic sexual abuse. He was convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking last year at a trial that gave notice to accusers who had once wondered if their shocking stories weren’t taken seriously because they were Black women.
R.Kelly’s victims told the court that he had preyed on them at a young age and mislead his fans. “You made me do things that broke my spirit. I literally wished I would die because of how low you made me feel,” one woman told the Grammy-winning, multiplatinum-selling singer. She said she was forever traumatized by her teenage experience with him.
According to the federal prosecutors “He lured young girls and boys into his orbit, often through empty or conditioned promises of assistance in developing a career in the entertainment industry or simply by playing into the minors’ understandable desire to meet and spend time with a popular celebrity.”
“Through his actions, [Kelly] exhibited a callous disregard for the very real effects that his crimes had on his victims and has shown no remorse for any of his conduct. Indeed, the defendant’s decades of crime appear to have been fueled by narcissism and a belief that his musical talent absolved him of any need to conform his conduct.”
Kelly is set to file an appeal.
