<a href="/profile/RKelly" class="text-word" target="_blank" >R. Kelly</a>&#8217;s attorney held a press conference in response to his client&#8217;s bond being set at the princely amount of $1 million. With the media all assembled in one place, attorney Steve Greenberg began discrediting his client&#8217;s accusers one after the other.

&#8220;On one of the cases, there are a number of interviews where the young lady says, &#8216;I lied about how old I was,'&#8221; Greenberg tells reporters at the 8:05 mark of the above video, &#8211; &#8220;and then recently said, &#8216;Oh no, I lied about lying about how old I was.'&#8221;
Soon after making those claims, Jim DeRogatis, an American music critic based out of Chicago, interrupts Greenberg to point out a negligible error, because theoretically speaking, the accuser in question did show R. Kelly an ID card, after coming to grips with their dysfunctional arrangement. &#8220;Don’t misquote a victim, Mr. Greenberg,&#8221; DeRogatis interjects. &#8220;That&#8217;s not what she said.. she was here today. Did you see her tears?&#8221;

At this point, Greenberg singles DeRogatis out by questioning his objectivity &#8211; suggesting the writer&#8217;s upcoming book on the R. Kelly case, past and present, is the reason to believe he&#8217;s part of the opposition party.







<blockquote>
&#8220;I don&#8217;t give a fuck about selling a single book,&#8221; DeRogatis fired back. &#8220;I&#8217;ve talked to that woman, and I&#8217;ve talked to 47 others. I&#8217;m not Mr. [Michael] Avenatti and I&#8217;m not you.&#8221;
</blockquote>
Greenberg eventually alleviated the tension by skipping ahead in the discussion. He later reiterated that R. Kelly was a &#8220;Rock Star&#8221; to quote the 2007 Kellz hit, his point being: &#8220;Rock Stars&#8221; don&#8217;t have a need for &#8220;nonconsensual sex,&#8221; &#8211; riddle me that.
