EX-PUBLICIST'S DAUGHTER: 'KELLY IS DEFAMING MY FAMILY'

LATEST: The stepdaughter of R. KELLY's former publicist REGINA DANIELS has spoken out about her brief love affair with the R+B superstar, insisting the singer is attempting to defame her family by accusing his former employee of incompetence.

R. KELLY

Kelly recently denied claims by Daniels' husband, music industry veteran husband George Daniels, that his wife quit her longtime post in November (07) because of a sexual relationship he had with the 21-year-old, insisting the pair actually parted company because she was no longer an efficient worker.

But Maxine Daniels claims the star, real name Robert Kelly, is lying - because her stepmum resigned when she learned about their "secret" affair.

She says, "My stepmother and father didn't know about my relationship with the singer because I knew and he knew that they wouldn't approve... so I tried to keep it a secret.

"When my stepmother found out about our relationship, she resigned because she felt that Rob had 'crossed the line' by dating a girl that he has known since she was seven years old.

"My stepmom was not fired for incompetence. She was Rob's publicist for 14 years and always considered Rob not just a client... but family. And Rob thought of my dad like a father."

And Maxine has put her romance with Kelly, who is facing 14 counts of having sex with a minor, down as a "serious misjudgment", because she allowed herself to be "swept up by his charming and generous ways".
