R. Kelly victim Reshona Landfair is detailing her abuse from the convicted predator for 13 years, starting at an incredibly young age. The former R&B singer is serving 20 years in prison concurrently with a 2021 30-year racketeering and sex trafficking sentence.
Reshona helped put the convicted predator in jail in 2022 during his trial for exploitation and child pornography. She testified anonymously as Jane Doe at that time.
Reshona Landfair said R. Kelly would get her “back in line” if she questioned his behavior
According to RadarOnline, Reshona is revealing her alleged abuse in a new tell-all, Who’s Watching Shorty? Reclaiming Myself From the Shame of R. Kelly’s Abuse describes their relationship starting when she was only 12. Within just a year, it accelerated from grooming to sexual abuse when the 30-year-old musician persuaded her to have phone sex. “He reassured me that what we were doing was natural,” she stated in the book.
It didn’t take long before the teenager lost her virginity to R. Kelly. He then allegedly forced her to participate in threesomes that included other young girls. “Whenever I questioned his requests or even hesitated to comply, Robert … would get me back in line,” she recalled.
At the same time, the former artist spoiled Reshona with shopping excursions, trips, a car and a puppy. He imposed stringent rules, such as forcing her to call him daddy, avoiding eye contact with other men and not wearing revealing clothing. If she wanted to use the bathroom, Reshona had to ask his permission.
A sex tape with 14-year-old Reshona was leaked in 2001. This followed many rumors about R. Kelly’s disturbing behavior. The video shows the singer urinating on her as she’s both drunk and naked. She commented about the video, “I was very scared and ashamed.”
As a result, R. Kelly faced a six-year child pornography trial in which he was found not guilty in 2008. “Once the trial was complete, Robert was done with me,” the now school health counselor wrote. “He no longer needed me to lie or keep his secrets.”
She says sex was “a weapon of control” to R. Kelly, adding, “He was good at it.”
