R. Kelly's estranged daughter speaks out, calls her father a "monster"

On a post to her Instagram Story, R. Kelly’s daughter Buku Abi called her father a “monster,” and asked for space to heal as mounting scrutiny is placed on the accused abuser.
“To the people who feel that I should be speaking up / against everything is going on right now,” Buku said in her statement. “I just want you all to understand that devastated is an understatement for what I feel currently. I do apologize if my silence to all that is happening comes off as careless. That is my last intention. I pray for all the families & [women] who have been affected by my father’s actions. Trust, I have been deeply affected by all of this.”
