R. Kelly's Daughter Claims Dad's Alleged Sexual Abuse Led to Multiple Suicide Attempts, Several Weeks in 'Psych Ward'

R. Kelly's daughter Buku Abi opens up about her complicated relationship with her father in the docuseries 'R. Kelly's Karma: A Daughter's Journey,' claiming that he sexually abused her as a child and that she attempted suicide multiple times. "I didn't care if I lived or died," she says.

Through an attorney, Kelly denied Abi’s claims of abuse, which she alleged happened after she awoke in the middle of the night to him “touching” her. “His ex-wife made the same allegation years ago, and it was investigated by the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services and was unfounded. Shorty after the show was released, Abi shared a lengthy Instagram post explaining her intentions behind the project, saying she did it for her, her 13-month-old son Omni, her family and her peace of mind.
