Things are going from bad to worse for R. Kelly as it's been revealed that the disgraced r'n'b singer is being sued by an ex-girlfriend for infecting her with an STD.

Faith Rodgers filed the lawsuit in Dallas which accused Kelly of sexual battery and “willfully, deliberately and maliciously” infecting her with herpes.

She gave an interview to CBS in which she said that she had had a relationship with the star for a year, detailing one particular incident where she 'submitted' to sex after his pressurised demands. "I didn’t really say anything," she said. "I kinda just froze up. I definitely was uncomfortable. But he has this type of, like, intimidation right off the bat. You know? So I was just waiting for it to be over.”

Rodgers also claimed to have encountered the women that Kelly was allegedly keeping as 'sex slaves' (which he has denied), saying that the singer referred to them as his "pets".

Kelly's rep did not comment on the lawsuit or the CBS interview, which you can watch below:
