The parents of R. Kelly’s live-in girlfriend Azriel Clary sat down for an emotional interview with Gayle King that’s set to air Wednesday morning.
Alice and Angelo Clary told the CBS This Morning co-host they think their 21-year-old daughter duped them from the beginning of her relationship with Kelly, whom she met in 2015.
The Clarys were featured in Lifetime’s Surviving R. Kelly. They said in the six-part docuseries that their daughter met Kelly when she was an aspiring teenage singer. They allowed the then 17 year old to go on tour with the “I Believe I Can Fly” singer, hoping it would help her career.
In their first interview since the docuseries aired in January, the couple told King they were assured by several women in Kelly’s camp that Azriel was in “good hands.”
They now say they haven’t seen their daughter in three years, and believe she’s been brainwashed.

Jeff Glor began Wednesday’s CBS Evening News with word R. Kelly is back behind bars for failing to pay $161K in child support to his ex-wife.
He immediately pivoted to Gayle King’s news-cycle dominating interview with the embattled R&B singer, a small portion of which Glor’s newscast aired previous night, after which much more aired on Wednesday’s CBS This Morning.
King, seated with Glor, said Kelly knew he was headed back to court but did not believe he would wind up behind bars again.
King said he spoke to Kelly’s “camp” after the interview aired “to check in to see how they were doing.”
“They said they were pleased with the interview,” she revealed, though what had aired included the singer screaming at the camera, “You’re trying to kill me!” and loomed over King, and his publicist stepping in to calm him down as the cameras kept rolling.

Kelly was arrested in late February and charged with 10 counts of sexual abuse involving four women — three of whom were underage at the time. He pleaded not guilty and is currently free on bond.

R. Kelly is out on bail after pleading not guilty to multiple sexual abuse charges, and the R&B star sat with CBS News’ Gayle King tonight to give his side of the story. It’s the embattled R&B singer’s first interview since being jailed and arraigned on a 10-count grand jury indictment of aggravated criminal sexual assault involving minors in Illinois.
In the interview conducted today, Robert Kelly calls the accusations — which involve four women, three of whom were underage at the time of the alleged abuse — “lies.” Watch an excerpt above.
Kelly, who is awaiting a March 22 court date, claims the current cases against him constitute double jeopardy, the clause from the Fifth Amendment that prohibits a person from being prosecuted twice for the same offense.
In the interview, King notes that “the past is relevant with you with underage girls.” Kelly denies that, saying, “Absolutely no it’s not.

An interview with R. Kelly set to air on “CBS This Morning” on Friday — the singer’s first since posting bail in Chicago following an arrest on 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse — is being described as “explosive” and “compelling” by the network. Conducted by Gayle King, Kelly (whose first name is Robert) is seen crying in clips released on Tuesday night. He’s also said to be “angry and sad.”
The full interview clocked in at an hour and 20 minutes. In the portions set to air, Kelly repeatedly denies the accusations made against him. Though it’s unclear in the footage released if he’s referring solely to cases in which he was acquitted in 2008. One could surmise that he evades some of King’s line of questioning.
King also sat down with Azriel Clary and Joycelyn Savage, two of the women currently living with Kelly. Savage’s parents participated...
