R. Kelly’s Ex-Girlfriend Claims Arsonists Destroyed Her Car

-

R. Kelly’s ex-girlfriend Azriel Clary claims she’s the victim of an arson attack that destroyed her car and could have burned down her home.

The 23-year-old posted photos to her Instagram on Thursday showing her in a strapless white bodycon dress posing beside her charred vehicle in the driveway of her home.

“Someone not only set my car on fire at 3am but they also made a gas line around my entire house, with intentions to burn my entire home down,” she wrote alongside the photos. She added: “It was something that was premeditat­ed, but the fact that someone would go to that extreme to harm me is sickening.”

Clary said that the police are investigat­ing the incident. Saying she was showing herself ‘at my lowest’, she used the post to urge her followers to share both ‘the bad’ as well as the ‘wins’ in their own lives.

“Everyone is going through problems behind closed doors, whether they choose to share it or not, even the people you look up to. I just want people to tap into the reality of our world, and publicizin­g a “perfect cookie-cutter life” is just not real,” Clary said.

“Can we start posting real life on our feeds? What’s really happening behind your closed doors, because “perfect” does not exist in our world, and that’s just the truth of the matter.” Clary has been living in Florida since splitting from R. Kelly in late 2019 and returning home to her parents.

It was a 180-degree about turn for Clary who had infamously accused her parents Alice and Angelo Clary of pimping her out to the singer in a CBS interview in March 2019.

She was just 17 when she moved in with him and in the bombshell Lifetime docuseries Surviving R Kelly, she chronicled his alleged sexual abuse of underage girls.

The 53-year-old I Think I Can Fly hitmaker is currently in jail in Chicago facing multiple charges in three states - Illinois, New York and Minnesota.

The charges against R. Kelly include child sexual exploitati­on, child pornograph­y production, kidnapping, forced labor, racketeeri­ng, obstructio­n of justice, soliciting a minor and prostituti­on.

The first of his pending trials is scheduled to begin in Chicago in October.
