Kelly and why she is not surprised with the guilty verdict. She said, “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.” When King asked her to clarify, she said, “Meaning, like, assistants. They would tell him, you know, “These people are minors. You can’t be flying these people in. I don’t know what you’re doing with them.” She said Kelly would respond, “'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's put us through.” Kelly was convicted on all counts relating to his New York sex crimes trial and is awaiting sentencing.
