In the interview, Kitti alleges that the R&B star groomed an underage girl, as well as her and other young women to be his 'sex pets'. When R Kelly was asked for comment on this story, he refused.
According to The Guardian, during their two years of dating, Kitti says that she was groomed by him, and forced to have sex with him and others at least 10 times in a 'sex dungeon'.
I was introduced to one of the girls, that he told me he ‘trained’ since she was 14, those were his words. I saw that she was dressed like me, that she was saying the things I’d say and her mannerisms were like mine. That’s when it clicked in my head that he had been grooming me to become one of his pets. He calls them his pets.- Kitti Jones
