Singer Sparkle Speaks Out After Niece Reshona Landfair Suggests She Assisted In Grooming Her For R. Kelly

Singer Sparkle is speaking out after her niece, Reshona Landfair, came forward to identify herself as the teen in the explosive R. Kelly s*x tape.

Reshona has stated that her aunt, Sparkle, urged her to get close to R. Kelly. This would eventually lead to years of s*xual and mental ab*se.

Sparkle applauded Reshona but maintained that she in no way facilitated R. Kelly preying on her.

“Any suggestion that I groomed, facilitated, or enabled harm to my niece is untrue and deeply painful, especially given my documented actions at the time and throughout. When I was informed her parents were allowing Reshona to spend unchaperoned time with R.Kelly, I immediately contacted DCFS. When the tape surfaced and the state brought charges against him in 2008, I cooperated fully and testified under oath, despite immense pressure not to do so. I did this because protecting my niece from ab*se and telling the truth mattered more to me than money and my career. This is the beginning of Reshona’s lengthy deprogramming journey,” she wrote in her statement.
