R. Kelly’s “Sweetheart” Frenzy: A Former Victim Declares Love

In a twist that feels like a bad movie ending, Joycelyn Savage has just opened a letter to Judge Ann Donnelly saying she’s engaged to R. Kelly. That comes one day after the ex‑R&B star got a 30‑year federal sentence for a decade‑long crime spree.

The Letter That Beat Up the Court’s Expectations

  • “My name is Joycelyn Savage, and I’m Robert Kelly’s fiancé.”
  • “I’m writing this letter in support of Robert before his sentencing, so I can explain to the court that I’m not the victim the government paints me as.”
  • “Our relationship is ‘amazing,’ we’re “deeply in love.”
  • “He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
  • “I still support Robert because I love him and will always be here.”
  • “Robert is not the monster the government says; he’s sweet, gentle, and kind.”
  • “He always makes sure I’m taken care of, and it sounds like he does the same for any other women he’s with.”
  • “He deserves to be home with loved ones who’ll support him.”

Why the Court’s Baffled

While the letter screams romance, Savage never swore an oath about it during the trial. Her attorney wonders if anyone truly believes this “engagement” was so serious. The only contact with Savage that judge Donnelly heard of was before she left to live with Kelly.

A Second Trial on the Horizon

In August, Kelly faces another federal case with former Illinois employees who allegedly tangled him in child‑sexual‑abuse material production. The looming trial adds layers to an already tangled story.

Judge’s Note: Protecting the Public

“The public has to be protected from behaviors like this,” Judge Donnelly said at the sentencing. “These crimes were calculated, carefully planned, and executed for almost 25 years.” She didn’t mince words, saying Kelly “taught them that love is enslavement and violence.”

Bottom Line

We’re left to wonder if this alleged engagement is a heartfelt truth or a desperate attempt to get out of the gutter. Either way, the saga has more drama than a soap opera—minus the happy endings.
