When King persisted in questioning, Kelly angrily responded, “Stop it. Y’all quit playing! Quit playing! I didn’t do this stuff! This is not me!”CBS also plans to air interviews with two women who are currently living with Kelly, including one whose parents say she is being held against her will.Kelly was acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008 that centred on a graphic video that prosecutors said showed him having sex with a girl as young as 13.
