‘Sparkle’ Still Insists Her Niece Had Sex With R. Kelly
June 24th, 2008A singer reacts to her ex-boss’ acquittal of child pornography charges

Former R. Kelly protégé Stephanie “Sparkle” Edwards remains firm on her identification of her allegedly underage niece as the person shown in a sex video with Kelly. Despite Kelly’s recent acquittal on child pornography charges, Edwards says the multi-platinum singer got away with robbing the cradle. “I was at peace with it because, the night before, I felt like the verdict would come down the next day,” Sparkle tells Philly radio host Kendra G. “I was talking to God all night. She continues, “Honestly, honestly honestly, I really didn’t want to see Robert go to jail. I just felt like he should’ve gotten some help.” The trial and Sparkle’s decision to testify has strained her family, some of whom denied her niece was in the video, she says. But she’s working to restore her family’s ties. “I did what I was supposed to do,” Sparkle adds.

I agree god can only judge>>>>>Its over
Do everyone understands that R.Kelly had a jury of not just BLACK peers but majority WHITE peers. Never think the MAJORITY wouldn’t have found this BLACK MAN guilty and sent him on his way. If a jury of his peers sets him free let the MAN be FREE. As we say incident until proven guilty.NOT GUILTY!!! Kelly I’m glad you’re FREE!!!!
Sparkle need to get somewhere and sit down, if it was her neice, well was her momma and daddy!!!???
I see all the comments and wonder how many of you actually saw the video. Well, I did and the girl in question was no amateur. None of us qualifies as judges of others and whatever/whoever the motive for taken this to court I am sure had a major role in the situation.The girl in the video was very aware and a willing participant and when it was discovered of the relationship someone should have immediately reported it. Waiting so long questions the motive of the act. Everybody commits sins through action or thought so lets not go to hell trying to judge no one we are definantly not qualified.Right is right and wrong is wrong but he had his day in court and if it was meant for him to go to jail believe me the white man was holding the door open, but the evidence did not convict him so we now move on to the next black man whomever he may be to endure public humiliation by the hands of his own color. Blacks are the biggest snitches. What are your SINS?
Some of you all are dumb as hell. It’s evident in your writing and the things that some of you all have stated in your comments. Why are you all being so harsh and judgemental to Sparkle? She’s not the culprit here. It’s that dumb @$$ R. Kelly who continues to harm his image with the type of songs that he makes about sex. That shows you that he has a problem. Sparkle stood up and told the truth. Others in her family sold out Sparkle for a lil change. She truly believes this was her neice in the video. Why can’t we believe her? It has nothing to do with her career. Some of you dumb asses don’t even know that entire story. There was no party at his house. The party was Kelly and the neice. Considering I know all parties involved, I think I know Sparkle well enough to say that she wouldn’t tell a lie and family is more important than money. It’ll all come out one day. I’m certain there are other victims. Hell, you aint got enough money to pay everyone off. Get off my girl. I’m certain that she was offered a pay off as well, but chose to stand up and tell the truth unlike some of her family members.
I THINK SPARKLE WANTS A PIECE OF KELLY’S MEAT, I HEAR IT’S BIG! LOL
I AM SO HAPPY THAT R KELLY IS FREE!!! I BEEN A TRUE FAN… BUT I MEAN THA TRIAL IS OVER AND LET THA MAN BREATH…
THE ONE THING I WANT TO SAY, PEOPLE KNOW THAT KELLS IS A FREAK.. SO IF HE WRITES AND SINGS ABOUT IT LET HIM, WE GON BUY IT AND SUPPORT HIM. SO I MEAN HE DOING HIS THING, EVERONE IS ENTILED TO THERE OWN JUDGEMENT ABOUT WHO EVER. LOOK AT THE DIGITAL WORLD NOW A DAYS U CAN DO ANYTHING WITH TECHNOLOGY SO I MEAN, IT IS WHAT IT IS. KELLS IS A FREE MAN AND I SAY WE LET THA MAN REST AND LET HIM BE.. I SAY HE KEEP DOING HIS THING.
YOU ALL KNOW THAT MOEY TALKS, BUT WATEVER HAPPEN TO SELF RESPECT, DIGINITY, THE WORLD HAS REALLY CHANGED,PEOPLE,SEEMS AS THO THE ONLY THING THAT MATTER IS A BANK ACCOUNT. GOD SEE,S ALL AND JUDGMENT DAY IS COMING, FOR ALL THOSE THAT,S INVOLVED WITH THE COVER UP SHAME ON YOU.
If that was her niece, then why not say something when the video came out?? Why leave her alone with R.Kelly…he was a grown a** man. I think we need to put her on trial cause she didnt try to stop it. But hey, that’s family for you. They dont give a dayam till its going to benefit them. So Sparkle the trial is over the girl said it wasnt her so leave it alone. If he paid her off then let it be. Maybe she doesnt want the world to know that R.Kelly went potty on her LOL. Or maybe your jealous cause you werent in the video…only time will tell.
Kelly you are a productive, talented singer,dancer notice things that come youe way,If it dont seem right or seem just right, think again, pray and keep it moving
R. Kelly is guilty, no matter what the court decided. This is what happens when people get money. I’m disgusted in the justice system and it’s sad that all of you praise this child molestor just because he make good music. WHERE HAVE YOUR MORALS GONE?!?!?!?
truth hurts
black women are sl*ts period.So that girl got what she deserve…PISSED ON
I have no idea if it was Kels or not. I did’nt want to look at such filth but I feel that since the man was acquitted of all charges we should just let it go and hope that he does some serious soul searching and get some psychiatric help.
Where was the mother of the child
its over she is just trying to say in the spot light she needs to get on with her life..
She continues, “Honestly, honestly honestly, I really didn’t want to see Robert go to jail. I just felt like he should’ve gotten some help.” Not that is funny because if it was here true intent to get them man help, her tail should have said something 10 years ago.
Yeah, where was the mother or father? And why would some of the family say it wasnt her? Kinda fishy… And now she’s saying “Oh i just wanted to get him some help.” And as someone has stated.. her “niece” didnt seem to mind as she never kame forward.
He alt to be ashamed of himself ,But didn’t Sparkle have sex with him ,maybe she is mad cause he dumped her
