33:23Now Playingocelyn Savage's family members and attorneys spoke out Wednesday morning after R&B star R. Kelly's first interview since a Cook County Grand Jury indicted him.
Savage's family gathered outside The Law Office of Attorney Gerald A. Griggs in Decatur where they addressed members of the media.
During his first interview since being charged with sexual abuse, Kelly cried, stood up and ranted about being "assassinated," calling his accusers liars and saying people are after him for his money.
Kelly, one of the best-selling music artists of all time, told Gayle King of "CBS This Morning" that he never sexually abused women or controlled their lives. The 52-year-old singer was charged last month with sexually abusing four females dating back to 1998, including three underage girls.
"All of them are lying," Kelly said in segments of the interview broadcast Wednesday. "I have been assassinated."
Kelly, out on bail following his Feb. 22 arrest in Chicago, said he has done "lots of things wrong" when it comes to women, but said he has apologized. He denies doing anything against their will. The singer said he believes social media is to blame for creating the allegations against him.
At one point during the interview, Kelly stands up and rants. He said: "I have been buried alive, but I'm alive." He says he needs someone to help him "not have a big heart."
"You all don't want to believe the truth," he said.
When pressed about whether he was attracted to younger women, the 52-year-old Kelly said: "I'm an older man who loves all women." He acknowledged living and being in a relationship with two young women.
The recording artist has been trailed for decades by allegations that he violated underage girls and women and held some as virtual slaves. Kelly has consistently denied any sexual misconduct and was acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008. Those charges centered on a graphic video that prosecutors said showed him having sex with a girl as young as 13.
