K. Michelle has always been open and honest about her life, especially when love and dating are concerned. The R&B diva often shares tales about her failed trysts through her music and her former relationship with R. Kelly was no different which led to the song "Build a Man."
The Pied Piper has found himself making headlines yet again for dealing with young women, this time being accused of holding them in a sex cult. K says she's not surprised by the allegations as she discussed the Chi-town crooner in an interview with Billboard.com for her upcoming fourth album Kimberly: The People I Used to Know.
When asked if she was surprised by the allegations, K. Michelle responded:
"I’m not surprised by them, I’m actually going to be speaking more about it because I do feel like it’s my obligation as a woman to tell the truth and to do right by other females that are in the business and all these young women who don’t have a voice. So it’s been something that’s been toying and been really stressing me and I’ve been going back and forth with how to speak about it and how to do right for those girls and read some comments about one of the accusers. I went to a blog and I saw women tearing this little girl up. And it immediately brought tears to my eyes because I remember what that was like trying to tell about my abuse. I’ve dealt with other abuse and I tried to tell but when I was telling people were calling me a liar, they were bashing me, they were telling me I was hateful. To read those comments about these women, these young women, these little girls and how people were so naïve to reality or just didn’t give a f*** about the reality and to call these little girls liars and to really take them down, is something I don’t really know right now if I’m willing to stand aside and watch it happen. But I can honestly tell you right now that I have yet to find the proper platform and the proper way to protect and voice my support for these women. I’m not here to bash but right is right and wrong is wrong. That’s all I can really say right now."
She spoke more after being asked if she found any truth to the allegations, "I can’t speak on it. I do believe that in every piece of the story there’s something that is true and I’ve learned so much from my mentor and it’s just the right time and place to say things, to do it properly so that the people you’re trying to help are actually helped instead of taunted so I’ll be speaking more about it but I’ll be doing it in the right way."
