R. Kelly tightens up his legal team.
After sexual abuse allegations against R. Kelly made headlines, the 50 year old “Bump N’ Grind” singer is prepared to battle it out in court.
According to The Daily Mail, Kelly has hired Washington, D.C. based lawyer Monique Pressley, to help him fight back against allegations claiming that he runs a sex cult and is holding young women against their will.
Pressley has represented Bill Cosby in the past, and was often seen on television defending rape allegations against Cosby. In August 2016, Pressley parted ways with Cosby.
The Daily Mail provided the following information about Pressley, “The DC-based trial attorney is well-known for her appearances as a legal contributor across the news networks. Pressley stepped down as a member of Cosby’s legal team in his sexual assault case last August after previously mounting a vigorous defense of the disgraced star during TV interviews.”
Pressley nor her firm, The Pressley Firm PLLC, has released a statement regarding Kelly.
However, Kelly’s other attorney, Linda Mensch, slammed the shocking rumors on her client’s behalf, “Mr. Robert Kelly is both alarmed and disturbed by the recent revelations attributed to him. Mr. Kelly unequivocally denies such accusations and will work diligently and forcibly to pursue his accusers and clear his name.”
