Savage Denies Family Claims, Cites Independence

Joycelyn Savage, fiancée of R. Kelly, has publicly denied her parents' claims that she is being held against her will or manipulated, insisting she is with Kelly by choice. Her parents, JonJelyn and Timothy Savage, questioned the authenticity of a recent video statement from Joycelyn, suggesting it may have been AI-generated, and expressed concern about not hearing from her in over six years. R. Kelly's attorney, Beau Brindley, disputed the AI claims, stating he spoke with Joycelyn directly before the video's release and confirming she lives independently near the prison to visit Kelly. Joycelyn emphasized that her lack of contact with her family is a personal decision, not due to coercion. R. Kelly remains incarcerated on racketeering and sex trafficking charges, with ongoing legal efforts for his release. Recent reports indicate Kelly has been hospitalized and faces alleged threats to his safety in prison.
