Azriel Clary is reportedly focusing on healing after leaving R Kelly’s Chicago condo, and TMZ reports she plans to seek counseling.
Clary, 22, previously lived with the singer. According to TMZ, she now says she felt brainwashed, manipulated and mistreated by Kelly, which is a change from earlier statements in which she described him as a good partner. TMZ also reports that she is back with her family, who are looking into counselors and therapists and are focused on helping her get her life back on track.
Clary spoke out on Friday, saying she had been in denial and never imagined being described as a victim, but that once you realize it, you realize it. She then shared photos with her parents on social media, with a caption that began, “Let the healing process begin.” She thanked her followers for believing in her when she could not believe in herself. Her father told TMZ the family is simply enjoying being reunited.
The news comes days after video surfaced of Clary in a physical altercation with Joycelyn, another woman described in reports as Kelly’s girlfriend, at his condo while Clary was moving out. Joycelyn was reportedly booked on a misdemeanor battery charge. Kelly has pleaded not guilty to the sex crime charges he faces in Illinois and New York, and he was in federal custody in Chicago at the time of this report.
