“He said generally in these situations people come up missing,” Cheryl Mack recalled him telling her when an underage girl sued him.
R. Kelly leaves the Criminal Court Building in Chicago after pleading not-guilty during a hearing on 11 new counts of criminal sexual abuse in 2019. ’s former employees testified in court on Friday that the singer threatened her and pressured her into supporting him when an underage female singer sued him for sexual harassment.
Mack said she connected Kelly with an up-and-coming 17-year-old artist, who was identified in court as “Precious.” The two artists began collaborating together at Kelly’s home and studio in Olympia Fields, Illinois. During this time, Precious moved from Atlanta to a hotel near Kelly’s home, Mack testified.
“He told me she was trying to file a lawsuit and I needed to pick a team: ‘Either team Precious or team Mr. Kelly,’” Mack said of her conversation with Kelly once she arrived in Chicago. Mack said she remembers that the lawsuit related to “something along the lines of sexual harassment.” Mack said Kelly’s studio manager at the time, Tom Arnold, who testified earlier in the trial, drove her to Kelly’s attorney’s office in downtown Chicago. Once there, she was presented with an affidavit that had already been written, Mack testified. The statement included yes-or-no questions about whether Mack had ever seen Kelly give Precious alcohol or if she had seen the two engage in any sexual activity.
