R. Kelly’s ex-girlfriend insinuates he might be “into boys” because he “likes penetration” in the bedroom

R. Kelly’s ex-girlfriend Lisa Van Allen recently sat down with DJ Vlad to talk about her experiences with the mired R&B singer and things quickly took a homophobic turn.

In a previous interview in January, Lisa Van Allen opened up The Breakfast Club, where she first said that R. Kelly liked to receive penetration himself.

“Was R. Kelly into young boys as well? Because we seen him make that one girl cut her hair off, wear clothes, and kinda made her look like a boy. Was he into that as well?” DJ Envy asked.

“I can’t speak for him actually messing with young boys,” Allen said. “But I will say that there has been times he wanted penetration himself. It was from a female, but still, but I mean.”

“Penetration how? Like pegging or like a finger? Not to be too graphic,” Charlamagne Tha God asks. Allen answered, “a finger or object.”

And now, she has once again spoken openly about her sexual experiences with Kelly, explaining in graphic detail what happened during their bedroom romps, and using them to raise questions about his sexual orientation.

“He likes dildos,” she recalls. “I know he likes fingers in the butt with him on all fours. You going in and he’s throwing it back at you. I know that’s a little graphic, but that’s what he does.”

Asked whether she ever used a strap-on with Kelly, Van Allen says no, she only ever used a dildo on him.

“He does like penetration,” she affirms.

When Vlad goes on to mention Dominique Gardner, one of R. Kelly’s accusers who has been described by some as “butch,” “boyish,” and a “tomboy”, Van Allen admits that it has caused her to question whether the singer might also be into boys.

“It’s not farfetched if you like things in your butt,” she says, then laughs.

A report by Queerty has called out Allen’s interview as being homophobic. The publication says:

“Just because a guy enjoys some backdoor play doesn’t mean he’s gay or bisexual. In fact, numerous articles and studies have found that many straight-identifying men enjoy receiving anal penetration from their female partners. Suggesting a man is gay or bisexual simply because enjoys having his butt touched is ridiculous and, frankly, homophobic, as it implies he is somehow interior and should be judged and ridiculed for it.

“And, in this particular case, it’s also not helpful.

“The story surrounding R. Kelly is very serious and very sad. Throwing out unfounded accusations of homosexuality or bisexuality only serves to detract from claims made by real victims of abuse.”

Chicago prosecutors charged Kelly with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse on February 22. The singer has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
