Maxine Daniels, the step-daughter of R. Kelly’s former publicist Regina Daniels, has spoken out about the rumors surrounding her “secret” love affair with the R&B superstar.

The 21-year-old woman claims that R. Kelly is lying about the reason behind her step-mother’s resignation.

She tells the Chicago Sun-Times, “The statement that was issued by R. Kelly’s camp to TMZ, which I interpreted as an attempt to defame Regina and George Daniels, my dad and stepmom, has made it necessary for me to respond to some of those accusations.

“My stepmother and father didn’t know about my relationship with the singer because I knew and he knew that they wouldn’t approve… so I tried to keep it a secret.

“When my stepmother found out about our relationship, she resigned because she felt that Rob had ‘crossed the line’ by dating a girl that he has known since she was seven years old.

“My stepmom was not fired for incompetence. She was Rob’s publicist for 14 years and always considered Rob not just a client… but family. And Rob thought of my dad like a father.”

And Maxine, who met R. Kelly when she was just 7-years-old, has described her relationship with the alleged pedophile as a “serious misjudgment”, because she allowed herself to be “swept up by his charming and generous ways”.
