Steve Wilkos Says He Knew R. Kelly Was a Child Predator in The 90s

In case you don't know who he is, Steve Wilkos is a retired Chicago policeman who was chief security on the Jerry Springer show back in the 90s. He went on to get his own spinoff show from Springer, titled The Steve Wilkos Show in 2007. 

Earlier on today, he was on Power 105.1's radio show, The Breakfast Club Show, and they got talking about the R. Kelly sexual molestation case. He went on to say that some time in the late 90s, there was talks of an R. Kelly TV show which he would have gotten a security guard role on, but he had told the people involved that if the show did come to life, he didn't want to be a part of it. And the reason why he didn't want to be a part of it was because even back then (in the late 90s), he knew R. Kelly was a child predator. 

Read his words on this below...

"You know what's crazy? Our old executive producer in Chicago, they brought R. Kelly in in the late 90s they were talking about some deal about doing a show with him...This was like 1997/98. But what was crazy was I was still on the police department when I was working on Springer, and all the guys that worked under me were all cops. And we're all like...what hell is this dude doing here? Back then we knew he was a child predator. And I was like, hey man...And I was like, if anything goes down with this guy like they do a show, I don't want nothing to dow with it. Like I'm not running security. I'm not doing anything."

Marlon Wayans Says If R. Kelly is Going Down A Lot of Other Celebs Need to Go Down Too

During his recent interview on Power 106 radio, Comedian/actor, Marlon Wayans was asked about R. Kelly and the sexual molestation charges he is currently facing. His answer wasn't the usual. He said if R. Kelly is going down, then there are many other guilty people that need to go down too. He also says that R. Kelly should pay for his actions if found guilty, but that people should not focus on the bad alone in a person if the person has something he is great at.

"He's a great singer. He's a great singer! Okay. He's not good in relationships. The n*gga is terrible in relationships. He has young taste. It's terrible. But then again, hey, my thing is, if we are going to do this, let's do this for everybody. Why are we killing all of our black heroes? Why is that? What about Elvis? This m*therf&cker is pictured tonguing five 14 year olds. Read the Elvis story. Are they digging him up? You know,  it's like let's make it fair all across the board. Let's make it fair. Let's not pick and choose. Let's make it all across the board."
