Buku Abi alleges R. Kelly sexually abused her in new documentary

Buku Abi, also known as Joann Kelly, claims in a new documentary that her father, R. Kelly, sexually abused her as a child. The documentary, titled "R. Kelly's Karma: A Daughter's Journey," features her emotional testimony and family interviews. R. Kelly's attorney has denied the allegations. Abi recounts an incident from when she was 8 or 9 years old, stating she woke up to her father touching her. She reported the abuse to her mother in 2009, but an investigation did not lead to charges due to the time elapsed since the incident. The documentary also explores the impact of R. Kelly's actions on Abi and her siblings. They discuss their experiences and express a desire to change the narrative associated with their last name. R. Kelly is currently serving a 31-year prison sentence for sex trafficking and other charges.
