Raise your hand if you thought it was a woman who would be bailing R Kelly out of jail?
I was sure it would have been one of his rich male friends in the industry that would have given him the money anonymously, but instead here is what we know about the woman who did give him the woman.
To win his freedom, Kelly needed to post $100,000 — 10 percent of the $1 million bail bond set by a judge on Saturday. He was unable to come up with the money over the weekend, but court records indicate that on Monday a 47-year-old suburban Romeoville woman posted the bond for Kelly, identifying herself on the bond slip as “a friend” of the singer’s.
Here is what we know about the woman.
The woman who posted the $100,000 bail that enabled R Kelly to walk out of prison on Monday evening has been revealed in court documents obtained by DailyMail.com.
Valencia Love, 47, lives just outside Chicago in Romeoville, and on the form she submitted in Cook County Court stated that she is friends with Kelly.
Love owns a number of restaurants according to records obtained by DailyMail.com as well as a childcare facility, the Lord and Child Christian Day Care.
Love refused to go into detail about how well she knew Kelly but said they had kept in touch throughout the years.
“I only helped a friend out,” she said.
She said she felt he was innocent until proven guilty.
“We’ve heard their side,” she said. “We’ll wait for his side to come out.”
Kelly will remain free on bail until his trial.
Here are videos of him leaving prison and then going to McDonald’s. Also Ms. Love releases a statement supporting R Kelly and saying he is not a monster.
