R. Kelly’s attorneys have responded to rumors circulating online that a recent video posted by Kelly’s fiancée, Joycelyn Savage, was actually generated by AI.
The rumors first began to gain traction after Joycelyn’s parents doubted the authenticity of the video.
“It’s been about a little over six years since we physically have seen her out in public. The video that we saw did bring some concerns because it appears that the video is A.I.-generated,” said Joycelyn’s mother, JonJelyn. “Anybody knows about AI, how realistic videos can be from just a simple picture. Her voice, speech didn’t match some of the video recordings, the gestures whipping rock. Image on her shirt, actually the mouth moved when she talked.”
In the video, Joycelyn denied being Kelly’s “sex slave” and revealed that she proposed to the disgraced singer three years ago.
Beau Brindley, the R&B singer’s attorney, shared with TMZ that he had a direct conversation with Joycelyn before the video was filmed. According to him, she reiterated the same statements she made publicly and firmly denied any possibility that the video had been altered.
