R. Kelly Hires One Of Bill Cosby’s Lawyers
R Kelly has reportedly hired Bill Cosby’s lawyer to help him wade through the latest round of sexual assault allegations leveled against him.
Monique Pressley specializes in in civil litigation, crisis management and communications. According to The Daily Mail, she joined Kelly’s legal team following last week’s explosive Buzzfeed report alleging Kelly of holding several women in a S3x cult.
Pressley was known as one of Cosby’s most outspoken supporters, appeared on major news networks to dismiss the mounting rape accusations against her client.
“Allegations from decades ago, allegations from women who never bothered to go in and make a complaint to police and in most instances, claim that they didn’t tell another living soul,” Pressley said on CBS This Morning in late 2015. “So if a judge chooses to consider from a prosecutor such testimony, then we will deal with that at that time.”
On a side note, John Singleton has come to the defense of R. Kelly. In a new report from TMZ, the famed movie director doesn’t see anything wrong with how his friend has gone about acquiring several girlfriends. According to the Academy Award nominee, the women in question are adults who are capable of making adult decisions. When asked if Kelly deserved the Bill Cosby treatment, Singleton replied with an emphatic “Absolutely not.”
