AceShowbiz - A war between R. Kelly's alleged victim Joycelyn Savage and her family broke out after her parents claimed that she was being held captive in a "cult" run by the singer. A day after her father Tim Savage held a press conference, Joycelyn responded to the claims.
In a video obtained by TMZ, Joycelyn was sitting on a bench. "Dad, you know everything that’s going on with the media and the internet and what you have done is a complete disaster," she began. "You need to stop, because right now I am fed up with everything you are doing. You're embarrassing me and the whole entire family. I am happy where I'm at."
Joycelyn then hinted that there might be something that Tim was hiding from the media regarding what happened between her and Kelly. "Honestly, you know the situation that had happened that night when I went to meet R. Kelly," she revealed. "I would like for you - matter of fact, I would love for you to stop what you're doing, because I can't believe you even went this far."
Prior to this, Joycelyn spoke to TMZ and said that she wasn't being held captive. "I'm not being brainwashed or anything like that. I just want everybody to know that I'm totally fine. I'm happy where I am at and everything is okay with me," she stated. When asked why her family asked for a welfare check, she claimed that she knew nothing about it. "I personally don't really know what's going on with that, so I don't wanna answer that at this moment," she said.
Although Joycelyn said that she was okay, she refused to reveal where exactly she was. She also refused to say if she was alone or with a roommate. The 21-year-old beauty didn't want to talk about her relationship with Kelly either.
On Monday, July 17, Joycelyn's parents held a press conference, during which Tim challenged the "I Believe I Can Fly" hitmaker to sue them "so everybody can see your dirty laundry." He later shared that his daughter has Stockholm Syndrome.
