R. Kelly hospitalized after alleged overdose in prison, attorneys say
- R. Kelly, the 58-year-old singer currently incarcerated for charges related to racketeering and sex trafficking with a 30-year prison term, was urgently hospitalized at Duke University Hospital in Durham, North Carolina, following a near-fatal overdose while in custody last week.
- The overdose happened after prison personnel reportedly administered an excessive amount of the medications Kelly takes for anxiety and insomnia while he was held in solitary confinement starting June 10, with his legal team alleging this act was deliberate.
- Kelly reportedly experienced dizziness and lost consciousness while in his cell, leading to a two-day hospital stay; however, despite medical advice, he was forcibly taken back to solitary confinement at the Butner facility in North Carolina.
- Kelly’s legal team submitted an urgent motion stating that the overdose nearly cost his life and accusing three Bureau of Prisons officials of conspiring to kill him. His attorney, Beau Brindley, expressed that they see President Trump as the only individual willing to step in and assist them.
- The motion requests Kelly’s early release or a pardon from President Trump, citing claims that prison officials have refused to provide him with critical surgery for blood clots, thereby endangering his life while he remains incarcerated until 2045.
