“He was my everything. For a long time, I didn’t even want to believe that it happened. I didn’t know that even if he was a bad person that he would do something to me,” she says in the first episode of the documentary, as per People.&nbsp;

She added, “I was too scared to tell anybody. I was too scared to tell my mom.”

Without sharing many details, Kelly said that she believes jail is a “well-suited place” for Kelly as she knows this from her “personal experience.”

Baku said that her mother Andrea was the first person she told.&nbsp;

“I really feel like that one millisecond completely just changed my whole life and changed who I was as a person and changed the sparkle I had and the light I used to carry,” she says. “After I told my mom, I didn’t go over there anymore; my brother [Robert] and sister [Jaah], we didn’t go over there anymore. And even up until now I struggle with it a lot.”

Tearfully recalling the shocking experience, Joanne said she was eight or nine when Kelly abused her.&nbsp;

“I just remember waking up to him touching me,” she recalled. “And I didn’t know what to do, so I just kind of laid there, and I pretended to be asleep.”

Baku and her mother even went on to file a complaint against him.&nbsp;

"They couldn’t prosecute him because I waited too long. So at that point in my life, I felt like I said something for nothing."

Kelly has denied the allegations levelled against him by his daughter.&nbsp;

In a statement to People, his attorney Jennifer Bonjean said, "Mr. Kelly vehemently denies these allegations. His ex-wife made the same allegation years ago, and it was investigated by the Illinois Department of Children &amp; Family Services and was unfounded.... And the 'filmmakers,' whoever they are, did not reach out to Mr. Kelly or his team to even allow him to deny these hurtful claims."

The Grammy winner is currently serving a 30-year prison sentence after he was found guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking.

R Kelly's daughter accused the singer of sexually abusing: 'I was too scared to tell..'

Disgraced singer-songwriter R Kelly was found guilty in six counts, including three counts of child pornography, by a Chicago court jury, reported the New York Times. The publication said the jury found him guilty of filming himself abusing his goddaughter known simply as 'Jane'. A sex tape involving Kelly and 'Jane' had served as the basis of the original trial held in 2008. But both R Kelly and Jane had denied that the persons in the video were them. In the recent trial, he also faced charges of obstruction of justice by 'fixing' the trial, which included bribing or intimidating and threatening the witnesses. But the jury did not find him guilty of those.

But now, 'Jane', 37, testified that it is indeed she and Kelly in the footage.

The sexual abuse charges against the 55-year-old R&amp;B star, who was already serving a sentence of 30 years in another federal trial held in New York in 2021, go back decades. His first marriage was illegal as it was with an underage girl -- singer and actor Aaliyah. While Kelly was 27, Aaliyah was just 15.

He is currently lodged at Metropolitan Correctional Center, Chicago. More years are expected to add to his sentence.&nbsp;

In the original 2008 trial, the testimony of 'Jane' and a sex tape allegedly involving Kelly and her served as the basis. But both Kelly and Jane said it was not them in the video, which led to Kelly being acquitted of all charges. It is for the 2008 trial that Kelly is being accused of 'fixing' by bribing the witnesses with money and gifts or intimidating and threatening them in the ongoing trial.

Earlier, prosecutors had said that R Kelly, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, has a "dark" and "hidden" side that the general public rarely saw.

Born on January 8, 1967 on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, R. Kelly's crimes were detailed in Lifetime documentary series titled 'Surviving R. Kelly'.&nbsp;The series received critical acclaim. Not long after, he was charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse in 2019, and that led to his conviction.
