R Kelly forced ex-girlfriend to enter suicide pact, asked her to kill herself if he ever went to jail
One of R Kelly's former girlfriends shared how he had forced her to get into a suicide pact, which meant that she would have to kill herself if he was ever arrested.
The woman, Jerhonda Pace, made the revelations in the second part of LifeTime's documentary 'Surviving R Kelly Part II: The Reckoning'. Pace had met Kelly when she was only 17 years old and had attended R Kelly's child pornography trial in 2008 as one of his supporters.
She was introduced to him outside the courtroom and then started a relationship with him. She revealed, "I was part of a suicide pact with Rob. And if anything was to happen to him, if he was to go to jail or someone was to harm him, I was supposed to kill myself. When the suicide pact came about, Rob and I were in the mirror room, and he told me if he was everything to me like I say he is, then there would be no life worth living."
"He said, 'if something happens to me, I want you to take these pills'. When I was with him, I was really ready to take my own life, because Rob was everything to me. Rob was my life," she added.
Pace had spoken out against Kelly in the first part of the documentary but didn't reveal the suicide pact.
"People started DM-ing me and saying 'count your days'. How could people be this cruel? You have all this evidence? You wanna attack me and tell me all of this. It didn't stop. It hasn't stopped," she continued.
Part of the documentary is a follow-up of the one that released last year, which detailed the abuse that Kelly's victims were subjected to.
Kelly is in jail and is awaiting trial on various sexual abuse charges. The documentary will be in three parts and started airing on Thursday, January 2.
