R. Kelly was reportedly attacked at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in Chicago by a fellow inmate.
The initial story was broken by TMZ, who reported that a frustrated inmate had allegedly begun “punching” Kelly, who was sitting on his bed at the time of the incident.
Kelly’s attorney Douglas C. Anton confirmed the attack to Billboard on August 27. “It is unfortunately true,” he said. “Another inmate that had an issue with lockdown, got upset and simply attacked Robert.”
Anton said he was told the prison was sent into lockdown because there were R Kelly protestors outside, but could not confirm the legitimacy of the claim.
“I spoke to him and he is not OK,” he told Billboard. “He is not doing well. This even more reason why he needs to be released. They cannot protect him in the facility.”
