Relationship with Robert Kelly

The Relationship between Joann & her father is strained, its been years since she has spoken to him. In one of her Instagram post, Joann said that she , her mother, her siblings (her brother Robert Kelly Jr. and her transgender brother Jay) have not seen or spoken to their father in years. She also posted the below sentences in her Instagram post

 “Buku here. I just want to say a few things. Before I start, I just want it to be known that I am speaking from the heart, nothing I say or do not say is to hurt any party reading or affected by this.”

She continued, “I pray for all the families and women who have been affected by my father’s actions. Trust, I have been deeply affected by all of this. However, it has been very difficult to process it all. Let alone gather all the right words to express everything i feel. Anyone that knows me personally or has been following me through out the years knows that i do not have a relationship with my father. Nor do I speak on him or on his behalf. I am also not fond of dealing with my personal issues or personal life experience through social media but I feel that things are starting to get out of hand.”

Joann also said that she nor members of her family condone R. Kelly’s behavior and that all they really want is for the public to respect their privacy during this difficult time.

She also added 

"The same monster you all confronting me about is my father. I am well aware of who and what he is. I grew up in that house."

Robert Kelly however still maintains his innocence and claims his accusers are lying.
