Previously, R. Kelly was reportedly attacked by an inmate at Chicago MCC. Kelly was reportedly sitting on a bed in his celll when the inmate entered and began to began to beat on the singer. Kelly’s lawyer Steve Greenberg said the inmate in the attack allegedly had an ink pen that he was going to stab Kelly with. Since the incident, the prisoner has been transferred to another facility. Now, one of Kelly’s lawyers—Nicole Becker is claiming the incident has caused paranoia to the point that Kelly won’t leave his cell.
Becker spoke to the Chicago Sun-Times and said Kelly “can’t sleep and is now afraid to leave his jail cell during the two hours he’s permitted daily to venture out. His insomnia is serious.” She continued on saying “Robert [Kelly] is scared for his life ... terrified every single day since he was beaten in his jail cell by fellow MCC inmate Jeremiah Shane Farmer a month ago.”
Kelly reportedly made a claim to Becker that a prisoner lockdown happens every time fans of the singer hold an outdoor protest near the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
