Following R Kelly's arrest on multiple alleged sexual misconduct charges, both Jocelyn Savage and Azriel Clary have appeared in an interview with CBS' Gayle King and defended the 52-year-old 'Ignition' star.
Claiming that "you guys don't know the truth", a distressed Azriel Clary told Gayle King "You guys believe in some f***king façade that our parents are saying. This is all f***king lies for money, and if you can't see that, you're ignorant and you're stupid."
Jocelyn Savage can be seen supporting Azriel during the interview with more footage from the pair's first interview following R Kelly's arrest set to be revealed on Friday.
Following Azriel's claims that her and Jocelyn's parents were simply trying to extort R Kelly for money, Jocelyn Savage's family lawyer Gerald Griggs said, "At no point have the Savages requested any money from Mr. Robert Sylvester Kelly, they have never received any money from Robert Sylvester Kelly and they don't want any money from Robert Sylvester Kelly."

Wait, wait, wait. Your parents encouraged you to do sexual videos with R. Kelly? -- @GayleKing

R Kelly was also interviewed by Gayle King recently and he broke down in tears whilst denying all the claims made against him regarding holding women against their will.
Having been released on bail, R Kelly looks set to face a trial on multiple sexual misconduct charges later in 2019 with Michael Avenatti, a lawyer working with a number of people making allegations against the R&B star claiming that his team are in possession of video footage showing R Kelly engaging in a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl.
