R. Kelly has filed a lawsuit from prison alleging that officers unlawfully accessed his records and gave the information to Tasha K.
In his lawsuit, he is claiming negligence, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other violations.
The investigation from the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General reportedly found that “at least 60 BOP officers made unauthorized access to plaintiff’s sensitive, confidential, and private information maintained by the BOP,” and that one officer illegally accessed his email correspondence, phone calls and guest visits more than 150 times, emailed them to herself before providing them to Tasha K “R. Kelly Can’t Control His Girlfriends While Behind Bars.” She shared with her viewers phone call information between Kelly and women, as well as visitor logs and email communications, the lawsuit says.
In one of her videos, Tasha K says: “Yeah, there’s a phone tap somewhere, and I’m not gonna tell you where it’s at. I have the plug. I’m not gonna tell you where I got the information from, but just listen to the damn information, OK?”
“He had every right to be able to be confident, to think the BOP would protect his information and not exploit, but unfortunately, certain BOP officers did just that,” Kelly’s attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, told ABC7 Chicago. “He does not feel comfortable to this day talking to anyone, even his own lawyers, because of the impact of this event.”
