Former R. Kelly Publicist's Daughter Comes Forward

The battle between R. Kelly and George and Regina Daniels intensified this week, as the couple's daughterwhom the singer is accused of having "crossed the line with"came forward to share her side of the story.

Maxine Daniels, 21, gave a statement to the Chicago Sun Times after Kelly's camp released a press release of their version of the events in question. They accuse Regina Daniels of approving the relationship between Kelly and Maxine, stating that Regina provided Maxine with Kelly's private number, saying "don't tell your father."

In the Sun Times interview, Maxine refutes the idea that her parents condoned her relationship with Kelly.

"I take full responsibility for my actions," the younger Daniels said. "My stepmother and father didn't know about my relationship with the singer because I knew and he knew that they wouldn't approve ... so I tried to keep it a secret, but when my stepmother found out about our relationship, she resigned because she felt that Rob had 'crossed the line' by dating a girl that he has known since she was seven years old."

Maxine also says that the recent press release put out by Kelly's camp is an attempt to defame her parents. She also responded to allegations that her stepmotherwho was The Pied Piper's publicist for more than a decadewas fired because of incompetence.

"My stepmom was not fired for incompetence. She was Rob's publicist for 14 years and always considered Rob not just a client ... but family. And Rob thought of my dad like a father."

She went on to add that she ended the relationship with Kelly after her parents began to hear rumors that the two were together. In addition, she refutes the claim that Regina Daniels gave her Kelly's personal number, saying "Rob personally slipped me his number."

There was also a Sun Times report that George Danielswho has been seen in a number of R. Kelly videoswas seeking a six figure settlement to go away. Daniels denies that any monetary sum was ever asked for.

News of the questionable relationship began to hit the Internet after Regina was fired. A short time later, George released a statement saying Kelly "crossed the line" with his daughter and also lied when confronted with the allegations.

In a radio interview with KJLH in Los Angeles, Daniels says that his daughter's relationship with Kelly didn't get to "that extreme," referring to the singer's pending trial that resulted from the discovery of sex tapes with alleged minors.

"Or else I wouldn't be here, if you know what I'm talking about," he added.
