BREAKING: Authorities say R. Kelly has posted bail and will be released from a Chicago jail within the hour.

CHICAGO — The Latest on the sexual abuse case against R&B singer R. Kelly : 4:20 p.m. Authorities say R. Kelly has posted bail and will be released from a Chicago jail within the hour. Cook County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Sophia Ansari said Monday that Kelly posted his $100,000 bail after spending the weekend in jail. The R&B singer’s bail amount was 10 percent of the $1 million bond set by a judge Saturday.

Attorney Gloria Allred is pushing back against R. Kelly’s lawyer’s assertion that the women who have accused the R&B singer of sexually abusing them are lying. Allred said at a news conference Monday in Los Angeles that she represents more than six women who say they were abused by Kelly. One of them, Lizette Martinez, said at the news conference that she met Kelly at a shopping mall when she was 17 years old and that he abused her from 1995 until 1999.

Lol

Did they take his passport?

Bad

Why not let him out, the terrorist racist sollett walked, so why shouldnt kelly?

I don’t understand how a man that owes $160,000 in back child support is out on $100,000 bail.

Can we make sure all of the women who spoke out are safe?

Just another example of a corrupt Justice system! R. Kelly is just a pawn and a fall guy!😎👊

I think bail was too low for the crimes for which he’s been accused plus the fact that he’s of means

I guess he had to piss...probably real bad, too...

Hide your children

Aren't there alot of gang members in Chicago? Asking for a friend. The fact that I just happen to be asking under the 'R Kelly makes bail' headline is a complete coincidence.

Yuck! I was so hoping he would keep his creepy ass in the cage.🤨

ATLFENIX Good

Ladies lock up your daughters no really LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS

New England Patriots owner caught in a sex trafficking scandal is the bigger picture. 🤔

That’s a shame...

Anyone else suprised R. Kelly actually had a million dollars?

Bail should be 10 million.

In other words..parents..watch your kids

Nettaaaaaaaa No!! 🤬

OffMuteRKelly

Forget the 'R'nonsense already. Robert Kelly.

Lock up your daughters.

“The President fully supports R. Kelly’s denial. The President has been in R. Kelly’s exact positions numerous times and has nothing but empathy for this honest and decent man. These liberal women are proven liars and NOBODY respects women more than Donald Trump and R. Kelly.”

I hope he's wearing an ankle bracelet

Huge Mistake Chicago_Police‼️😡 rkelly should have never been granted BAIL‼️ Rapist SickBastard SexualPredator GuiltyForDecades‼️😡

Great! Because what the world really needs is one more slippery predatory defiler rapist on the loose 😒

So if you have money you can escape justice. Cool.

What are his plans for the evening?

What a crappy justice system.

And he's gonna piss on all y'all!

I thought his lawyer said he was broke He’s also behind on child support . Anyone surprised?

Bail should of never been offered. Say bye bye

Millionaire posts bail, what a fucking surprise.

Shocked that R. Kelly can't come up with the $100,000 to meet the % bail requirement of a $1,000,000 bond.

I hope all the girls have been removed from his lair! They need debriefing from the nightmare and major trauma help. I disagree that he should be getting out. I’m scared what he’s liable to do next. His anger?

Get your raincoats on, he’ll be pissing.

Mothers....hide your daughters.

This is upsetting but he’ll be RIGHT back in jail unless he pays $160k+ in back child support by the first week of March. What’s even more upsetting is that his concerts overseas have NOT be canceled. They should have never been scheduled in the first place...

Disgusting. No words.

Meanwhile

“I believe I can fly. I believe I can buy a plane ticket and fly away...” 🎶🤦‍♂️🤔

Who paid his bail?

Hot and fresh out of priso.. nevermind.

..but that child support matter 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

He should of been held WITHOUT BAIL! He's going to be gone.

Hide yo kids

komonews Yes! Proven innocent until proven guilty.

And we care because.........

Because justice is equal for all. As long as you have the money.

Total flight risk

Who is R. Kelly, and why should I care?

They should of kept the pedophile behind bars.

That's a shame.

And in Mexico in three hours

Welp his butt is going to go ghost by tomorrow morning. Smdh

Joke , the guy is Peadophile

:/

If he really did have sex or tried with 13-14 year olds that’s unacceptable.

I wonder who came up with 100 bands for him. Niggas love claim broke

Would everyone who watched the Academy Awards have been happier if it was R. Kelly's story getting the GreenBook treatment? Gots to keep it real y'all!

He'll disappear for sure... They should have kept him locked up..

Ridiculous that he isn’t being held. Absolutely ridiculous.

Please don't tell me he sold the 'Rights' to the Videos to get the Bail money...

Lock up your daughters people

Hold your daughters close.

Please stop with the corny ass song jokes.

I want a list of all those who posted bail for that man

Why so he can rape other children. Our justice system is BS sometimes.

I guess I have no choice but to get him myself

He's going to flee.

Eliminate cash bail.

Exuse me, but who is R Kelly anyway?

Will never understand how cash bail is still a thing. Just another way to disproportionately jail poor people.

rkelly bail should have been set to $5mill

Bail should have been denied.

I can’t believe it’s not butter! 😉😂😂😂

I hope his victims, past and current, are safe from him.

I'm thinking they purposely arrested him just before the weekend so he had to stay in jail a little bit.

Why are his female fans raising money for his bail? I doooon’t getttt ittttt

Genius let’s let a child rapist out on the streets

I'm surprised he hasnt been invited to the WH yet

It's the Remix to Conviction

In time to catch happy hour

Shocking.....

He thinks he can fly. Doesn’t that make him a flight risk
