Soror, you hit the nail right smack dead on the head.

I kinda figured that he had been abused in some way when I read the article in VIBE magazine (the one with his picture on the front). VIBE (May 2002 issue) wrote (and I QUOTE):

"During the course of a two-day interview,..., the star's eccentricity was highly evident. It goes well beyond his documented refusal to wear underwear and his need to play basketball every night. Kelly admits he seeks solace in odd places."
Now get THIS yall. This is what VIBE QUOTED R. Kelly saying during that interview. "I GET GREAT SLEEP IN CLOSETS.... IT'S MENTAL FOR ME. I KNOW THAT NOBODY IN THE WORLD KNOWS WHERE I AM AT THAT POINT".

Now all of you counseling, psychology, and sociology majors (along with ANYONE else with any COMMON SENSE), if THAT is not a sign that SOMETHING happened to this man (at SOME point in his life), then I don't know what else is. I KNEW, particularly after reading his quote in VIBE that this man was dealing with some SERIOUS stuff.

THAT MAN IS REALLY, TRULY, AND SERIOUSLY SICK (in the head). He has some kind of MENTAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS (and you can BELIEVE that)!!!!
