The “press,” in all its forms, has failed to confront R. Kelly about his present living arrangements. He presently has two live-in “girlfriends” – one 21 and one 23. Not only is he well over twice their age, but added together they do not total his 52 years. And to think, till recently there was a third woman in the picture. Is this the new normal? Is this to be seen as a Trump-era thingy? Are they to be called “sister wives”? And, think about it, he can’t afford child support payments yet he lives in the Chicago Trump Tower. MAGA for this declared independent stands for “Make America Gag Again.”
