Lawsuit: R. Kelly Stiffed Rep to Pay Off Sex Accusers
Robert Kelly's former manager claims that he helped resuscitate the career of his ex-client after child pornography cases hit, but he was not paid for his hard work and efforts according to TMZ.
Now Jeff Kwatinetz is filing a lawsuit seeking $1 million for unpaid commission and punitive damages. Jeff claims he "guided Kelly through the recording of two new albums, substantial multi-million dollar tours ... a book deal, and a myriad of other appearances and events."
So where did the money go? Kwatinetz was reportedly told that the %15 commission couldn't be paid to him because Kells was settling with his accusers in the sexual misconduct cases out of court and all of his funds were going there.
A rep for the Chicago crooner said, "Mr. Kwatinetz is a disgruntled former manager who apparently feels the need to try to seek retribution for his discharge. It is particularly disturbing, given his job as a professional talent manager and trusted adviser, that he would feel the need to lash out and dish what he thinks is dirt against a former client."
Who do we believe in this case? Ousted employee or alleged pedophile?
