Kelly, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, is currently facing 14 child pornography cases. Regina's husband George revealed that his wife quit her position as Kelly's publicist in November because the singer had an intimate affair with their daughter Maxine.

The R&B singer lashes out at the statement and released his own insisting that his relationship with Maxine was encouraged by Regina.

"The fact is that they had no problem with the relationship, indeed, they encouraged it, while Ms. Daniels was on Mr. Kelly's payroll," his new publicist reads the statement.

"It was Regina Daniels, then working as a publicist for Mr. Kelly, who persuaded him to attend her stepdaughter's 21st birthday party. And it was Regina Daniels who shortly thereafter gave her stepdaughter Mr. Kelly's private phone number, with the admonition: 'Don't tell your father.'"

"It was only after Ms. Daniels resigned her position to avoid being fired for incompetence that her stepdaughter's relationship suddenly became an issue for her and her husband."
