R. Kelly’s newest manager is being investigated by Georgia police because of alleged harassing calls being made to Timothy Savage who is the father the of Joycelyn Savage who is currently staying with the Grammy winning singer. The Blast.com is reporting the following:
R. Kelly’s manager Don Russell is reportedly being investigated by the authorities after being accused of threatening alleged victim Joycelyn Savage’s parents, who participated in the Lifetime series Surviving R. Kelly.
Timothy Savage called the cops to his Georgia residence just before 6 a.m. on Jan. 3 after he says he received threats from a man claiming to be Russell, according to a police report obtained by The Blast. Prior to Surviving R. Kelly, Joycelyn’s name came up in relation to claims that she was in a sex cult run by Kelly and she had been brainwashed (claims that she has denied).
Timothy told investigators that they were involved in the docu-series and that Russell sent texts on the day it premiered, stating that “it would be best for him and his family if the documentary does not air.” The cop who took the report also says that a call was made while they were present, and that they heard the caller say that the info the parents were providing Lifetime with was false, and if it ran they’d be forced to disprove the parents’ testimony. The caller further stated that this would destroy Timothy’s “reputation, business, and family” because it would out him as a liar.
Does this sound like harassment or was the manager just doing his job?
