Celebrities Lanita Carter, a 40-year-old hairdresser who claims that in 2003, sexually abused by soulzanger R. Kelly, has for the first time her story done on American television. The woman decided in the past few years consciously to remain anonymous. But now there is a lawsuit against the artist – who is suspected of abuse of a number of women – decided to Carter, but to get out of the confessional to blows in the tv show CBS This Morning .
According to Carter, as she told in tears and with breaking voice, is the fact that they are now in the public domain occurs ‘a real relief’. “I carry this drama for 16 years with me. All that time I had still sitting in the bus, while people around me talked about R. Kelly. Then I heard fans say: ‘Hands off our hero’. In those moments, I had it hard, because I thought: ‘I can and should now not for myself, stand up and tell the truth’. That time is over now.”
The soulzanger was in February of this year, was arrested after ten women declaration had made of sexual abuse. Three or four of them were to own say a minor when Kelly is on them transgressed. The ‘I believe I can fly’singer denies everything, but the prosecutors demand heavy punishment for him. Rightly, emphasized the emotions accrued hairdresser. “Any time the media is speaking about my stalker, I go in mind to go back to what I was experiencing. I must now talk about my trauma and do not want to end up as someone who remained silent about the truth. I hope that other victims of R. Kelly my story can help,” said Carter, who kept silence, because they are the lesser of a celebrity found. “It was an abuse of power. That made my rotgevoel ten times worse.”
Lanita was ever the fixed hairdresser of the singer. In the tv show she told in detail about her confrontation with Kelly. He would have forced him to orally satisfy. When she refused, began the singer for her face to masturbate. Also, he would from time to time, in the face, spitting. When he was a peak, but ended up there is semen on her shirt.
