Valencia Love has confirmed she was the “friend” who posted R. Kelly’s $100,000 bail on Monday, just days after the singer was arrested on sexual abuse charges.
The 47-year-old business woman defended her decision during an interview with Fox32 News’ Tia Ewing. Love told the reporter she believes Kelly is innocent, but would not say whether the $100,000 she paid was hers.
Love claimed Kelly’s release was inevitable, as he had planned to post bond by Thursday. “He was going to get out regardless,” she said. “I just went out there to help my friend.”
According to the Daily Mail, Love is listed as the owner of several restaurants as well as a Chicago childcare facility called the Lord and Child Christian Day Care. .
Considering the charges against Kelly involve underage girls, many people were shocked to find out that Love worked within the childcare industry; however, Love insists Kelly’s critics are being too quick to judge.
