No One Would Even Care About Me If My Last Name Wasn’t Kelly – R. Kelly’s Ex-Wife

The ex-wife of convicted singer, R.Kelly, Andrea Kelly has fired back at those criticizing her for keeping the last name despite his tarnished reputation.

She recently had her say during a recent interview with Carlos King, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, the name holds significance far beyond her former marriage and Robert’s incarceration for s*x trafficking, so she does not care what anyone feels about her decision.

Andrea added that the sad truth is no one would even care about her if her last name wasn’t Kelly.

Her words, “I don’t give a f**k what you feel. I don’t. At the end of the day, I earned this name in blood, sweat and tears.

It’s my kids’ name…when all the sh*t hit the fan, how would you feel if your name is Brown and your kids name is Brown, and your family goes through something, and you tell your kids, ‘Oop! You a Brown by yourself, I’m out!’ No, if my kids gotta go through it as Kelly, they mama going through it as Kelly.

The last name Kelly gets 20/20 to follow me, the last name Kelly gets me on CNN to talk about domestic violence awareness and be an advocate. The last name Kelly allowed me to go on military bases and talk about abuse.

And here’s the real gag; Boo, if my name wasn’t Kelly you wouldn’t even care…’cuz Ms. Jones is going through the same thing I’m going through right now, Ms. White is going through it, Ms. Anderson is going through it, but ya’ll dont care about it, ya’ll not on her page commenting, you’re not trying to be an advocate, you’re being nosey. You know why? Because my last name is Kelly.”

WOW.
