A prison officer was sued by R. Kelly for leaking emails. That prison officer stood firm on the accusations, and the government also stood behind the prison officer and others involved in the lawsuit.
In Touch shared the details of the initial report, reporting that a prison officer is denying all allegations of wrongdoing brought by R. Kelly. The singer claims that his privacy has been violated due to the alleged leak and selling of his emails and phone logs to a blogger known as Tasha K.

R. Kelly says that he suffered emotional distress. The prison officer shares that R. Kelly should not have expected privacy considering he is in prison. She argued that her conduct was not “outrageous or intentional” and that she didn’t access computers “without or in excess of authorization.”
R. Kelly Claims Information Had Been Stolen
In the suit, R. Kelly’s lawyer claims that the singer’s information had been stolen in an attempt to create chaos in his personal life. He claims that prison employees used the system within the prison to access emails and phone logs.
This information was then sold to blogger Tasha K, who exposed everything on her own social media platforms. Tasha has since denied the allegations of illegal activity.

R. Kelly’s lawyer goes further to say that Tasha rallied her own following to harass the singer. The information was allegedly used to influence witnesses in the criminal prosecution. The lawyer also claims that the information was used for financial gain and clout.
While one retired police officer is speaking out against the accusations, Kelly claims that more than 60 police officers accessed information he believes should have been private. A lawyer for the government says that there was an investigation into the claims. However, they concluded that there was no unauthorized access to the information in the system.
R. Kelly’s Information Was Passed to the Blogger
The initial accusations came up in 2019 when The Chicago Sun-Times ran the story. The main employee accused of the crimes had previously retired, and no charges have ever been brought against said employee.
However, according to RadarOnline, the government does admit that information was provided to the blogger, admitting to some of the claims from Kelly. This information was accessed from the internal prison system but was not gained through negligent practices.
The government continues to stress that R. Kelly should not have expected the same level of privacy as a free man. The prison officers have access to all information shared with the outside world to keep other inmates, themselves, and people outside safe.
R. Kelly’s lawsuit was thrown out in 2023, per the government’s demands. He has since been moved from the Chicago to facility to Butner Federal Prison.
This has not stopped Tasha K from doing what she loves. She continues to share news and updates about celebrities via her YouTube channel Unwine with Tasha K.
Some of her recent videos have included exposing Gypsy Rose Blanchard, Porsha William, and Diddy. She also entertains via skits and shares life and beauty tips, and more.
