Extortionists On Black Market Pushed R Kelly Sex Tape: Details

Yesterday (Feb. 23), a US District Judge sentenced R Kelly to 20 years in prison in his Chicago child pornography case. Judge Harry D. Leinenweber stated 19 of those years will run concurrently with his existing 30-year sentence out of New York, totaling 31 overall. Following the news, RadarOnline has obtained details regarding the now-infamous sex tape of R. Kelly and a then-14-year-old girl. According to their knowledge, several extortionists on the black market pushed the revolting clip to media outlets back in 2019.

This comes one month after the airing of Surviving R. Kelly: The Final Chapter, where more deplorable information about the singer was released. RadarOnline shares that during the series’ earlier installments, the black market sellers peddled the sex tape to different companies in exchange for money. Copies of it were offered starting at $900 to an astounding $100,000. The news is confirmed by National Enquirer, who attempted to expose the extortionists after the tape was sent to their office as well. The woman in the tape, now 31 years old, shared details about her relationship with Robert Kelly during his Chicago trial.

Disturbingly enough, more tapes have been found of R. Kelly with underage women, including one with the late Aaliyah. One of his victims, survivor Ebonié Doyle, detailed how she unearthed them during her interview with journalist Jim DeRogatis. Doyle told DeRogatis “I see this basket full of tapes, and I’m like, ‘Well, maybe I’ll just grab one of these tapes… That’s when I discovered that he’d been lying to me about Aaliyah.” The VHS she chose showed footage of the young songstress having intimate relationships with R Kelly on a tour bus. everything that I had asked him was confirmed on the tape,” she adds. This apparently led to a full-blown argument between the two upon Kelly’s return home.

Several unsettling stories have come out of the Surviving R. Kelly: The Final Chapter regarding Aaliyah. The two collaborators married when she was a mere 15 years old—at the time they lied and said she was 18. Following this, the singer’s family signed an NDA regarding the relationship. The evidence was presented during R. Kelly’s federal trial in 2002.
