Valencia Love made the payment of $100,000 in four batches of $25,000 in February, making it possible for the embattled singer to be released after he spent three nights behind bars. Love, however, wants her money back after federal charges were leveled against the singer.

Attorney Michael Avenatti made a videotape available to the Chicago State prosecutors which showed R. Kelly having sex with an underage girl. This is besides the 11 sexual abuse charges that were brought against him in the month of May alone, in Chicago.

When Love posted the bail for R. Kelly, she received a lot of online bashing with her businesses suffering some forms of attacks by Kelly protesters after she said he was a “gentleman: in their interactions.”

A judge, Lawrence Flood, has, however, already ruled that she will not receive her money back immediately, with the possibility of not at all.

Love’s attorney is now saying that his client was unaware of the federal charges, hence her u-turn on the decision to post bail for him.

Love has refused to divulge where the money for Kelly’s bond came from, but claimed the singer would have been freed eventually, even if it wasn’t with her help.
