R. Kelly Says He Feels Sympathy For Bill Cosby

R&B crooner R. Kelly is apparently tone deaf.

The "I Believe I Can Fly" singer hit a sour note by expressing his sympathy for Bill Cosby amid allegations that the TV legend sexually assaulted dozens of women in incidents that date back to the '60s.

"Well, my opinion on that is, I don't know what happened. I'm a fan of Bill Cosby's from the Bill Cosby show, of course — who's not? And for me to give my opinion on something that I have no idea if it's true or not, all I can say is that it was a long time ago," the singer, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, told GQ in a wide ranging interview.

"And when I look on TV and I see the 70-, 80-, 90-year-old ladies talking about what happened when they were 17, 18 or 19, there's something strange about it. That's my opinion. It's just strange."

When pressed further, Kelly dismissed the whole scandal as "strange" and "something we can't explain."

More than 50 women have come forward to explain their allegations of being drugging and sexually assaulted by the "Cosby Show" star. The 78-year-old Cosby is now facing his first criminal charge over an alleged 2004 rape of a Temple University employee at his suburban Philadelphia home.

"If God showed me that they were telling the truth, I would say that's wrong. I don't care if it was a zillion years ago," said Kelly. "But God would have to do that, because God is the only one can show me that. No man can tell me that. No woman can tell me that. And when you wait 70 years, 50 years, 40 years, to say something that simple, it's strange.

"You know why I say that is because it happened to me, and it wasn't true."

Kelly, of course, is an authority on sexual scandals — having been dogged with rumors for years that he had sex with underage girls. A jury found him not guilty in 2008 in the most notorious of those cases, involving a 26-minute sex tape with an unidentified young woman who appears to be a minor.

The auteur who came up with "Trapped in the Closet" has long denied that the man on the tape is him.

That Kelly would sit through an interview with GQ that featured such direct questions is impressive considering he stormed out of an interview last month with the Huffington Post when the subject was broached.

"When a person is found not guilty, they're found not guilty. And it doesn't matter if it's a murder case, it doesn't matter what case it is, when they're found not guilty, they're not guilty," said Kelly. "And I think that a lot of haters out there wanted to see me go down."

Kellz might want to leave this one alone cause he wouldn't want anybody bring his old sh!t up …… You Know …… The sh!t he got in the closet …..
