R. Kelly’s ex-wife, Andrea “Drea” Kelly, is finally sharing her story about her journey in the entertainment industry.
In a recent video post, the 50-year-old dancer announced her upcoming book, “Under The Red Carpet”, which includes images of Sean “Diddy” Combs and her ex-husband, R. Kelly. A voiceover in the video features Drea saying, “Fame costs, and right here is where you start paying for it in blood, sweat, and tears… I did.”
In the caption, Drea expresses her readiness to challenge the false narratives that have surrounded her life. She wrote, “I am a BEAST and a BUTTERFLY. God said it is so. The time has come to disrupt the deception. For years people have spoken on my life without knowing ANYTHING about me.”
Support has poured in from her fans in the comments, with one user remarking, “Wow, sounds like a horror film. The dark shadows of the entertainment industry and the cost of fame. Speak on it!”
Another added, “Soo many women are finally healing! I’m here for it!”
