Carey and R. Kelly were both molested by a relative, though Carey did not name the perpetrator during his Lifetime interview.

He said that it was R. Kelly’s unexpected reaction to his confession that led him to keep the information a secret from their mother.

“I was molested by a family member and that shook my world,” Carey said.

“I knew it wasn’t right even though I was 6 years old at the time.

I was afraid to tell my mom because of the person and who they were, I don’t know if she was going to believe me.”

“And when I told him what happened to me he didn’t really respond to it like I felt that he should.

He said, ‘Naw, that didn’t happen to you.’ I said, ‘Yes it did.’ Robert said, ‘No it didn’t.’ Then I left it alone, I really knew not to take it to my mom.

My brothers was the test.

If they believed me then maybe I could have took it to an adult.”

Carey and R. Kelly have long had a contentious relationship.

Carey alleged during a 2006 interview with MTV News that R. Kelly tried to get him to take the blame for the infamous sex tape that landed him on trial for child pornography charges in 2002.

Kelly’s attorney at one point claimed that it was actually Carey, not R. Kelly, who was filmed having sex with and urinating on an underage girl — accusations that his brother never apologized for, even though it “destroyed” his life, Carey said.

R. Kelly even offered him thousands of dollars, a record deal, and a house if he took the blame, Carey claimed in another 2006 interview that was released on DVD by Drahma Magazine. R. Kelly was ultimately found not guilty on all counts. ^{[undefined] [undefined]}
