In conjunction with that, he has issues with loss and death (his best friend was killed and his mother died). All of the signs are there and maybe THOSE are the PROBLEMS that he keeps talking about. Now this is CERTAINLY NO EXCUSE whatsoever for what he's done. But it adds INSIGHT into a lot of stuff.

Soror I have been saying that all along. I graduated with a degree in psychology and while it has not officially been used since graduation day,
some things never leave you.
I did not watch either nights of his interview. However from what I have read on these boards and the listserve I belong to, his body language conflicts with his words.
Like TLAW and you, I work with teenagers all the time. Some of them have "crushes" on me. However, there is not a bone in my body that encourages that crush or seeks to play that crush out on the physical level. I am not a superstar like R. Kelly but I do believe that along with his former abuse of some sort as well as the death of his mother has left him feeling inadequate. I also believe that his actions that he is currently being targeted for are of a "Suicidal" nature meaning that he is doing this to just kill his career and his success. Some people resort to drugs or gambling, but R. Kelly has resorted to having sex with teenage girls. Somewhere in his mind, he sees this as less dangerous to his career and life.
