Last Friday (July 1), disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly was placed on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.

At the time, his attorney Jennifer Bonjean said her client was not suicidal.

Kelly later sued the facility. The singer claimed his constitutional rights were violated, which caused him “severe mental distress.” Today (July 5), he is no longer on suicide watch, according to court filings.

Prosecutors announced, that “Following a clinical assessment, Plaintiff Robert Sylvester Kelly, also known as ‘R. Kelly’ was removed from suicide watch as of this morning, July 5, 2022.”

Kelly is convicted of sex trafficking, racketeering, kidnapping, sexual misconduct, bribery and sexual exploitation of a child.

His patterns of abuse have reportedly gone on for three decades.
