R. Kelly was on the set of HuffPostLive for an interview today and things did not go according to plan. From the jump, the whole thing was uncomfortable as host Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani attempted to question Kelly about past accusations of sexual assault , which he found to be "disrespectful." Tehrani was simply asking fan-submitted questions and Kelly was not cooperating.
Things got to the point where Kelly spoke over everything Tehrani attempted to say. The interview then abruptly ended after only a few minutes with Kelly walking off of the set while she continued to ask him about his past. He said he thought the interview was an interrogation and that he wanted to talk about his new album, Buffet, which dropped earlier this month.
Kelly even began to directly question Tehrani, and tried to equate her drinking in her free time to what he does when he's not in the studio. "This is about tryin to interrogate me, and this is about disrespect, and I'm going to sit here, but I'm not going to be disrespected," Kelly said.
