00:00R. Kelly says he suffered an overdose last week while he was in federal prison and actually had

00:06to be transported to a local hospital for treatment. Now, how in the world does someone

00:12overdose while you are in prison? How do you get access to those things?

00:17But this is, these are prescription drugs.

00:19Exactly. That's what makes this weird. He says these are prescription, it was prescription

00:23medication. And he says that it was the prison guards who gave him too much of the medication

00:29in order to kill him. He has been mentioning this several times over the last few weeks

00:36that he believes there is a plot on the behalf of the Bureau of Prisons to have him killed.

00:43The first thing he said was that it was that they hired a white supremacist in prison who

00:49was going to, who was going to off him. And now he's saying that the guards themselves,

00:53he's alleging that the guards did this, that they brought him his food and he ended up in

00:59the hospital. Yeah. So this was on June 12th. So in this new filing, what he's saying has happened

01:04is that one of the guards administered him too much of his medication, which he takes for anxiety.

01:09So then the following morning woke up, got, was super dizzy, lost consciousness, collapsed at the

01:15prison, was actually transferred to the Duke hospital where he spent two days. And he said,

01:21while he was there, he learned that the amount that they gave him of his medication actually could

01:27have been fatal. So he was basically saying he was lucky to be alive. And like you said, Charles,

01:31I mean, now this is the second time he's accusing of the prison or accusing the prison of trying to

01:35have him murdered. And he also talked in this document about how they took him off blood thinners

01:42that he says he needs, as well as I guess he needs some surgery for blood clots. And they're refusing to

01:47do the surgery. And he's claiming, you know, he's going to die.

01:50So what he wants is he wants house arrest, right?

01:52He wants to be let out. He wants to be on house arrest. He's unsafe, remaining behind bars.

01:57Here's where I'm having several problems. But one of them is this, that if he's taking

02:02a prescription for an anti-anxiety drug, he knows what the dosage is. I mean, you know,

02:10you take a pill or two pills or whatever it is.

02:12Right. So if they bring you four, why would you take four?

02:15Why would you take four? And if it's enough to kill you, it may be what, eight? I mean,

02:20I don't know the number. Yeah. But that part doesn't add up. And the other part that doesn't

02:23add up to me is what is the motive? Why? But when he first raised this, why would the Bureau of

02:29Prisons be out to murder him? Why would they want to have R. Kelly killed? It makes absolutely no

02:34sense. And honestly, I think just what this is, is like he has an attorney that's throwing things

02:39at the wall and hoping, you know, something will get him out of prison and get him into home

02:43confinement. It just doesn't seem like any of this is going to work.

02:45The U.S. attorney's office is that's basically their reaction to this latest filing. They

02:50said this is the behavior of an abuser and a master manipulator on display.
