victim Azriel Clary says she lied about 'everything' in her 2019 interview with
Gayle King after the disgraced R&B singer coached her on how to answer
questions.
The now-23-year-old told Gayle King on : 'Before the interview he had us
practicing every single day...

answering questions. And if he didn't like our answer he would tell us exactly
what to say and how to say it.
'Any time you mention anything about sexual preference we already know to say:
"I'm not here to talk about any of that."'
The morning show then flashed back to a clip of an angered 21-year-old Clary in
March of 2019 when she first appeared on the show.  'First of all I'm not here
to talk about my personal life and I would never share with no one what I do in
or outside of the bedroom,' she sa R Kelly victim Azriel Clary (pictured), 23,
said the disgraced R&B singer started sexually assaulting her from the age of 17
and said she lied about 'everything' in her 2019 interview with Gayle King
because Kelly coached her on how to answer questions
Clary told Gayle King on CBS that Kelley even coerced her into having an
abortion
On Monday Kelly (pictured in court on September 17) was found guilty of all nine
counts of racketeering and sex trafficking by a federal jury where prosecutors
accused him of exploiting his stardom over a quarter-century to lure women and
underage girls into his orbit for sex
'You guys don't know the truth.

You guys are believing this f***ing façade that our parents are saying. This is
all f***ing lies for money,' Clary said two years ago.
Clary told King that Kelly told her to be angry. 
'I was scared because I was like: "I don't want the world to see me this way..."
I'm loving, I'm caring, I'm compassionate.
No one got to see that side of me,' Clary added as she fought back tears.
King said that Clary's father knew something was amiss when the 2019 interview
aired.

'You know it's interesting 'cause your dad called me after and said: "That is
not my daughter. That is not who she is. That is not how she speaks. That is not
what she believes."'
She claimed that after the 2019 interview, when she went back to Kelly's
apartment, 'he was so happy'.
'He was like: "You guys did amazing... You did so well, you carried yourself so
well,"' Clary recalled. 
'I believe he even got food and wanted to celebrate, that's how happy he was
with that interview,' she added. 
Clary said Kelly coached her to not talk 'about sexual preference'.

The morning show then referenced a clip of an angered 21-year-old Clary in March
of 2019 (pictured) when she first appeared on the show. 'First of all I'm not
here to talk about my personal life and I would never share with no one what I
do in or outside of the bedroom,' she said
Clary's (pictured leaving court in 2019) testimony played a 'key' role in the
trial, King said, noting that parts of it were so 'graphic and painful' that the
judge didn't even allow some parts to be released 
However, Clary was telling a different narrative to King on Wednesday when she
was interviewed for the first time since testifying against her ex-lover in
court, saying that their relationship was abusive.
'He was very good at manipulating the situation,' Clary said.

'Everything that we had been living in had become very normal and I had to break
out of that. I had to realize that this was actually abnormal.'
She testified that the assaults began when she was just 17 and the R&B singer
sexually and physically abused her, including coercing her into having an
abortion. 
Clary said she normalized the abuse because she saw other, older women, plus
Kelly's assistants, workers and security team, experiencing the same and not
speaking up. 
She said Kelly had four other girlfriends while the two were in a relationship. 
'So me, being very young at that time, I just learned to normalize it,' she
recalled, adding that there was nothing anybody could've said or done to help
her escape the abusive situation earlier.
'I feel like that is something that I would've had to had woken up to myself.

Something that I would've had to realize on myself.
'A lot of people don't realize - with victims, the more you try to help them,
the more it upsets them sometimes,' she said.
On Monday Kelly was found guilty of all nine counts of racketeering and sex
trafficking by a federal jury where prosecutors accused him of exploiting his
stardom over a quarter-century to lure women and underage girls into his orbit
for sex.
Kelly's (pictured in court on September 27 as the jury foreman reads the guilty
verdict) guilty verdict follows 21 days of evidence including 50 witnesses and
hours of searing testimony featuring accusations of rape, druggings,
imprisonment and child pornography
Kelly's (pictured in 2019) trial centered around six women
Clary's testimony played a 'key' role in the trial, King said, noting that parts
of it were so 'graphic and painful' that the judge didn't even allow some parts
to be released.
The now 23-year-old told King that attending the trial was 'very disturbing, to
have to relive those moments'.
'A piece of me was happy because I felt like this person no longer has control
over me.

You don't tell me what to do and what to wear and where to go and how long to be
in a room anymore,' she added.
When speaking on her 'full circle moment' at CBS, where she first supported
Kelly very vocally and now played a role in his prosecution, Clary said: 'I
think it's very important - even I have to take accountability for my actions.
'It's okay to reevaluate your life.

It's okay to change your mind. You are never too old to wake up and say: "Hey, I
thought this was good for me but it's actually not."'
A jury of seven men and five women reached the verdict after nine hours of
deliberation and a six-week long trial featuring lurid testimony.
He faces up to 100 years in prison - 20 years for racketeering and 10 for each
of the sex trafficking convictions.

The sentencing is expected to take place on May 4, 2022.
Kelly has remained in custody after being denied bail in his New York City case
in October 2019.  
The jury began deliberating federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges
against the superstar on Friday in Brooklyn, after prosecutors and defense
attorneys finished their closing arguments.
Prosecutors say Robert Sylvester Kelly, 54, ran a Chicago-based criminal
enterprise for nearly three decades and that he used to 'target, groom and
exploit girls, boys and women' for unwanted sex and mental torment.
The witnesses said Kelly subjected them to perverse and sadistic whims when they
were underage.

He has denied any wrongdoing.
The acts presented during disturbing testimony included bribery, kidnapping,
forced labor rape, druggings, imprisonment and child pornography. Some key
allegations from the trial include:
Assaulting underage victims and knowingly giving them herpesCoercing victims
into getting abortions after impregnating themSlapping, choking, spitting at and
urinating on his victimsRecording sexual encounters with his underage accusers,
creating child pornSubjecting his victims to cruel punishments - such as
beatings or locking them in rooms without access to food, water or a bathroom -
when they disobeyed his rules Forcing his victims to write letters denying
allegations of abuse against himThreatening his accusers and their families if
they attempted to leave him or press chargesHis illegal marriage to singer
Aaliyah, which involved obtaining a fake ID for the then-15-year-old so the
nuptials could be performedThe guilty verdict followed 21 days of evidence
including 50 witnesses and hours of searing testimony.
The charges were based on an argument that the entourage of managers and aides
who helped the singer meet girls - and keep them obedient and quiet - amounted
to a criminal enterprise. 
To convict Kelly on racketeering, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years,
jurors had to find him guilty of at least two of 14 'predicate acts' — the
crimes elemental to the wider pattern of illegal wrongdoing.   
He was also charged with multiple violations of the Mann Act, which makes it
illegal to transport anyone across state lines 'for web site,
http://krimroof.ru, any immoral purpose'. 
Throughout the trial, prosecutors argued that Kelly's accusers were
'indoctrinated' into his world, groomed for sex and kept in line by 'coercive
means of control' including isolation and cruel disciplinarily measures. 
They argued that Kelly, with the help of members of his entourage, used tactics
from 'the predator playbook' to sexually exploit his victims.
Many of his accusers shared stories echoing that tone, saying they met the
singer at concerts or mall performances, and were handed slips of paper with
Kelly's contact by his entourage. 
Several said they were told he could help them achieve careers in the music
industry. 
The singer did not testify in his own defense during the trial, likely to avoid
a damaging cross-examination. 
The defense, however, argued that his accusers lied in their testimonies and
that Kelly was a 'sex symbol' and 'playboy' who was being attacked by scorned
exes and money-hungry fans. 
Defense attorney Deveraux Cannick told the jury there was no evidence Kelly's
accusers were ever forced to do anything against their will. 
He also noted that the accusers — also known as Kelly's girlfriends — maintained
a relationship with him because he spoiled them with travel, shopping sprees and
five-star dining and other luxuries. 
'He gave them a lavish lifestyle,' he said.

'That's not what a predator is supposed to do.' 
Kelly's trial centered around six women.
