Some people are calling a R. Kelly sexual abuse hotline for the wrong reasons.
Several women called the hotline, established by Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, to brag about their sexual liaisons with the “Ignition” singer, reports TMZ. Sources told the gossip site the line has received “dozens” of calls from women who are proud of their alleged trysts with R. Kelly.
Men have also called the line but they aren’t bragging about their own experiences with Kelly. Instead, they claim they know women who have had sex with Kelly.
Kelly is currently awaiting trial for 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against three underage girls and one adult woman.
In April, a judge ruled in favor of a woman who filed a civil suit against Kelly for sexually abusing her because he did not show up to court, as Blavity previously reported. The decision was overturned on Wednesday after Kelly’s legal team claimed their client was in jail when the papers were served. They also argued he did not understand the documents because he is illiterate. The lawsuit has been reinstated, according to CBS.

Kelly is also dealing with an ongoing child support battle with ex-wife Andrea Kelly. After the hearing for the civil suit, Kelly went to another room in the courthouse to address the child support issue. He was ordered to pay Andrea $62K to settle his outstanding balance.
R. Kelly was eventually told he still owed Andrea $32K in interest. Kelly is supposed to pay his ex $20K a month but requested a decrease because he claims he cannot afford to maintain the current agreement. Andrea has requested additional funds so their daughter Joann, known as Buku Abi, can go to college.
Another hearing was scheduled to address the child support reduction.
In March, Kelly was jailed for back child support until an anonymous donor paid Andrea more than $161K.
