R. Kelly baby intercourse survivor particulars the strict, terrifying guidelines ‘Daddy’ made her obey — or else

Sex wasn’t only a pleasurable pastime for jailed singer R. Kelly, it was the shamed former celebrity’s most popular “weapon” of alternative, in keeping with Reshona Landfair. 

The 41-year-old mom of 1, and creator of the brand new memoir “Who Was Watching Shorty: Reclaiming Myself from the Shame of R. Kelly’s Abuse,” out now, is coming ahead because the 14-year-old lady featured within the disgraced R&B singer’s notorious 2001 intercourse tape. 

The foul footage, filmed within the late Nineties, reveals R. Kelly, née Robert Sylvester Kelly, urinating on an intoxicated, nude and underage Landfair. 

Though R. Kelly was acquitted of prices stemming from the video in 2008, he’s presently serving concurrent 20- and 30-year jail sentences, for racketeering and intercourse crimes, on the Federal Correctional Institution in Butner, North Carolina.  

Representatives for the musician weren’t instantly obtainable to offer a remark to The Post.

His legal professional, nonetheless, beforehand released a statement, saying, partially, “At a young age, Ms. Landfair was unfairly forced into the public eye against her will by people who were intent on destroying the reputation of R. Kelly. She did not deserve that.”

Landfair completely advised The Post, although all eyes had been on Kelly — a three-time Grammy winner — throughout their unlawful involvement within the early aughts, nobody ever actually noticed the psychological, emotional and sexual abuse she endured as a teen. 

“It was like, everybody was watching [him], but nobody was seeing the bigger picture of what was really going on [with me],” she mentioned. 

Throughout her e-book, the Chicago native, as soon as an aspiring preteen rapper and basketball star, particulars the manipulative ways that Kelly — who was 30 on the onset of their sordid affair — allegedly used to rework her into his submissive sexual servant when she was simply 13. 

“Robert used sex as a weapon of control,” writes Landfair. “He was good at it.”

In her e-book, Landfair says the “Snake” singer initially launched her to cellphone intercourse. 

“With a grown man’s confidence, he reassured me that what we were doing was natural and that my body wanted it as much as his,” says Landfair within the tome, claiming Kelly coached her on touching her non-public components throughout their non-public cellphone calls. 

She made positive to talk with the celebrity — whom she met by way of her well-known aunt, Stephanie “Sparkle” Edwards — out of earshot from her dad and mom, Greg and Valerie. 

Sparkle has emphatically denied having any knowledge of the abuse in an announcement to The Post, saying, partially, “Any suggestion that I groomed, facilitated or enabled harm to my niece is untrue and deeply painful.”

“When I was informed her parents were allowing Reshona to spend unchaperoned time with R. Kelly, I immediately called the Department of Children and Family Services,” Sparkle insisted. “When the tape surfaced and the state brought charges against him in 2008, I cooperated fully and testified under oath.”

Once totally infatuated with Kelly — or “Daddy” as the teenager was allegedly groomed to name him — Landfair claims that she was given a set of strict guidelines to obey. 

“No. 1 — Don’t make eye contact with any man. No. 2 — No talking to men other than my dad or grandpa without Robert there,” she lists. “No. 3 — No calling Robert “Daddy” in entrance of individuals. No. 4 — Be nice however not chatty so my curiosity gained’t make somebody suppose I’m flirting. No. 5 — Don’t put on clothes that reveals my cleavage or form, and put on platform footwear to look taller and older.”

There had been instances, in fact, when Landfair wouldn’t or couldn’t cater to Kelly’s each whim — particularly sexually. In these instances, she claims the singer would power her to look at him satiate his carnal cravings with one other particular person.  

“‘If you say no, I’m finna find someone else who’ll say yes,’” she remembers Kelly threatening. “I can be replaced.”

“It was horrible to be forced to watch someone else’s naked body do what I refused to,” Landfair continues within the e-book, including that the indecent encounters typically occurred in Kelly’s Chicago recording studio area. “When they came in, they were often blindfolded so they couldn’t see me. I was his secret, and he didn’t want someone to be able to identify me.”

Landfair says she usually was tasked with doing greater than watching.

“Sometimes, after I watched, he would force me to join and have me perform a sex act with the blindfolded person as a test,” she writes in her memoir. “It always felt like a test that I had better pass the first time.”

Kelly, in keeping with Landfair, additionally had a penchant for filming practically all of their sexual actions. She says he satisfied her that the videotapes had been being made for her personal good. But in actuality, the “I Believe I Can Fly” performer used them to scare the teenager into silence. 

“‘Am I right that you don’t want nobody to see a tape of you sexing me up?’” Landfair remembers being requested. “‘These tapes will be like motivation for you to keep our secret. For you to never forget and let something slip by accident. Because you don’t want nobody to see tapes of your t—ties or anything, do you?’”

A shaken Landfair by no means disclosed the main points of her sexual relationship to her dad and mom, associates or Aunt Sparkle — not till that vile video leaked within the early 2000s, triggering Kelly’s six-year baby pornography trial. He was finally discovered “not guilty” after Landfair refused to testify in the course of the court docket proceedings. 

But she tells The Post that as horrific because it was being Kelly’s secret lover, the hitmaker typically balanced out the sourness with some sweetness.   

“Not everything could be bad because then I could possibly lash out [against him],” mentioned Landfair, whom Kelly gifted a automobile, a pet, and some unique getaways all through their 13-year entanglement. She formally parted methods with Kelly at age 26 in 2009. “I was pacified with certain things.”

“There had been highs and lows.“

But Landfair, now an advocate for abuse survivors, warns in opposition to being placated with expensive purchases. 

“Robert would treat me to nice things: shopping sprees, dinners out, going to the movies or some other fun thing, the latest sneakers, jewelry,” she says within the tome. “Somewhere inside of me, I believed that a relationship was kind of like hazing. You grit your teeth and cry your way through the bad stuff to reap the good stuff.”

“I gave Robert all that I was. He gave me his crumbs,” Landfair groans. “And every crumb had a receipt.”
