Transcript:
GAYLE KING: R. Kelly’s– Defense Attorney said after the verdict came in that– said that R. Kelly was surprised that he was found guilty. Are you surprised that he’s surprised that he was found guilty, and that he was actually angry—
AZRIEL CLARY: Wow.
GAYLE KING: –and surprised that he was found guilty?
AZRIEL CLARY: I feel like, you know… I know that he knows that he is guilty. People told him. People tried to warn him. People tried to help him. He didn’t care. He was selfish. He was greedy. He was a pedophile. And he never, not once, wanted to get help.
GAYLE KING: You said people tried to warn him. What do you mean? How so?
AZRIEL CLARY: Meaning, like, assistants. They would tell him, you know– “These people are minors. You– you can’t be flying people in. I don’t know what you’re doing with them, but–”
GAYLE KING: And his response would be?
AZRIEL CLARY: “Mind your business. You’re fined. Or you’re fired.” That’s the only options that he would give people that worked for him. And I feel like it’s very disturbing for him to sit and think that he is still innocent, when he knows of all the trauma that he put us through.
