CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- One of R Kelly's live-in girlfriends and a staunch supporter is now accusing him of sexual and psychological abuse and an unwanted pregnancy.
Joycelyn Savage took to Instagram over the weekend to announce she was breaking her silence and sharing her story on the website Patreon, which requires users to pay for content. She had posted three times by Sunday morning.
"I have Partnered up with @Patreon where I will post daily chapters of my story. Things I am going to reveal that was sweared not to see the day of light — by NDA. I am risking my life for many others. This story is 18+ and only for mature audience, I want to make sure my story is very detailed as I can remember. My first story “Where It All Started” is out now," she wrote on Instagram as the caption a video post that read "This is my story...He always hated the truth. Joycelyn Savage patreon.com/Joycelynsavage," set to the song Truth Hurts, by Lizzo.

The Sun-Times reports the 24-year old wrote on the website Patreon, among other things, that after Kelly got her pregnant three years ago, she was forced to have an abortion at his home and that she was constantly monitored by the singer's assistant.
“I realized I was pregnant by this monster,” in late 2016, Savage wrote. “Eventually, I ended up getting an abortion I was forced to get the surgery done at his house.”
Another experience she shared was once after she called him "babe" instead of “daddy” or “master" as he preferred, R. Kelly choked her until she blacked out.
In a series of tweets Saturday that have since been deleted, Kelly's attorney Steve Greenberg accused Savage of profittiering and turning on the singer when his money ran out.
“It’s unfortunate that Jocelyn now seeks to make money by exploiting her long time, loving relationship with Robert,” Greenberg tweeted. “Obviously if she were to tell the truth no one would pay so she has, unfortunately, chosen to regurgitate the stories and lies told by others for her own personal profit.
“We know the real facts, and it was not until the money ran out that she decided anything was wrong. Hopefully people will see it for the Obvious profiteering it is.”
Savage had remained a staunch defender of Kelly, who has been held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago since his arrest in July. Savage and Kelly’s other girlfriend, Azriel Clary, continued living at Kelly’s Trump International Hotel & Tower penthouse after he was taken into custody and were seen at court hearings earlier this year.
However, the Sun-Times Michael Sneed reported in late August that the lease was ending and they would soon be moving out.
Kelly, 52, is charged in federal court in Illinois with 13 counts for child pornography, enticing a minor into illegal sexual activity, and conspiracy to obstruct justice. He also faces federal charges in New York and local cases in Minnesota and Cook County — all of which involve sex crimes against minors.
On Sunday, Savage’s mother Jonjelyn told “Good Morning America” she believes her daughter is now coming forward because Kelly is locked up. The Savages said they still don't know their daughter's whereabouts, but they believe her efforts to share her story are honest and hope this is the first step toward reconciliation.
