For some reason, R. Kelly decided it would be a good idea to do a TV interview amid his severe sexual abuse charges. On Tuesday, the singer — who has been accused of partaking in sexual acts with three children older than 13 but younger than 17 — spoke out in his first post-jail interview since turning himself in to Chicago police last month. He opened up to CBS This Morning with Gayle King saying: “They’re going back to the past and they trying to add all of this stuff now to that, to make all of the stuff that’s going on now [feel] real to people. be stupid of him to hold girls against their will. Use your common sense. Forget the blogs, forget how you feel about me. Hate me if you want to; love me if you want. But just use your common sense. Kelly added: “How stupid would it be for me with my crazy past and what I’ve been through? I didn’t do this stuff. This is not me. I’m fighting for my f****** life.” The 52-year old was charged in on Feb. 22 with 10 counts of felony aggravated sexual abuse. If convicted, he faces three to seven years in prison for each count. Check out R. Kelly’s tearful plea above. See the full interview when it airs Wednesday morning on CBS.

Source: Raymond Boyd / Getty Professor Praised For Holding A Student’s Baby While Teaching Class Nathan Alexander, a visiting professor at Morehouse College , said he was just trying to help when he allowed a student to bring his infant daughter to his class on Friday, also volunteering to hold the child as he taught. Pictures of the unconventional classroom dynamic have garnered a lot of positive attention on social media, with a lot of people praising Alexander’s efforts to assist the student, Wayne Hayer, when he came to class while unable to find childcare. “I’m not an exception,” Alexander said in a telephone interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution . “We have teachers who (assist students in similar ways) every day.” Alexander said that he initially discussed the idea of the same student bringing his child to class a few weeks back, when Hayer said he couldn’t stay for office hours because he needed to go pick her up. Much t o the surprise of the professor’s, his student took him up on his offer and Hayer arrived to algebra class with his adorable baby girl dressed in a pink outfit. In the beginning of the class, Alexander noticed that Hayer was distracted with watching his child, which is when he offered to hold her, saying, “Hey, I’ll take her so you can take some good notes.” Alexander joined the Morehouse faculty in 2017 and said this was not his first experience allowing a student to bring a child to class. He recalled a student once bringing an 8 or 9-year-old to his class in the past. Nathan explained that these allowances are part of the mission of colleges such as Morehouse, the nation’s lone college for African-American men — men finding ways to help other men. The professor does not have any children himself, but said he believes it’s important to make such accommodations, when necessary, and knows many educators make similar decisions. “Teachers do this in their own way every day,” he said of those in his profession around the country. “This is what they do.” Check out some reactions below from everyone who has been touched by this precious story. Bravo, @ProfessorNaite . And to your dedicated student. https://t.co/2a7OPApTTT — Ava DuVernay (@ava) March 2, 2019 @professornaite is one of my favorite professors!!

Source: Jeff Greenberg / Getty Saturday Night Live Nails This Bodega Bathroom Sketch If you’ve ever been to a bodega in New York City , chances are you haven’t been to the bathroom–because nobody has. Who in their right mind would go to the bathroom in the corner store that’s 3 minutes from your own apartment anyway? On last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live , Kenan Thompson, Pete Davidson, and other cast members tackled a skit about what it’s really like in those bodega bathrooms…and the result is absolutely hilarious.
