R Kelly sued by ex-manager
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 21 June 2011
R Kelly has been sued for a neat million dollars by his former manager, who claims the singer owes him commission payments from revenues he generated back in 2008.
Jeff Kwatinetz says that he helped Kelly rebuild his career while he was fighting those under-age sex allegations, securing the artist record deals, tours, a book deal and other cash generating projects. The former manager claims he was due a 15% commission on all that income, but it was never paid, the cash being used instead – Kwatinetz says – to pay off people who had accused Kelly of other sexual misconducts.
But Kelly says he plans to fight this lawsuit, telling TMZ: “Jeff Kwatinetz’s complaint is a collection of half-truths, distortions, and outright fabrications”.
