R. Kelly attorney: Chicago prosecutor ‘got in bed with' Michael Avenatti

R&B singer R. Kelly’s attorney blamed fellow lawyer Michael Avenatti for tainting the sex abuse case brought against his client, who has pleaded not guilty to sexually abusing multiple underage girls and a woman.

Steve Greenberg claimed Monday in a court filing that in Illinois, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx was in a hurry to prosecute due to pressure from Avenatti. Greenberg said there’s been “a rush to prosecute because of pressure — all polluted — by Michael Avenatti.” According to Greenberg, Foxx “got in bed with Avenatti and Avenatti is toxic.”
