Regina Daniels, who has been R. Kelly’s publicist for 14 years, has formally announced her resignation. Daniels says:

"I have prided myself on loyalty, respect and professionalism. It saddens me that I was not always shown those same courtesies during my 14-year tenure as Mr. Kelly’s publicist … There are some lines that should never be crossed professionally or personally. Mr. Kelly crossed a line that forever altered the scope of our relationship. For this reason I made the decision to resign."

Five years ago R. Kelly was charged with 14 counts of child pornography. He has yet to go to trial. Legal proceedings are expected to finally begin next spring.

Daniels makes it sound like R. Kelly made a move on her, got physical with her, or asked her to lie or do something she couldn’t live with any longer. There’s also the possibility that Daniels wants to distance herself now before the legal proceedings start. Maybe she will be a witness for the prosecution.
