There's just something about a famous-but-controversial singer's publicist of 14 years not only quitting, but sending out a press release to cryptically explain why she's severed ties, that just screams scandal. R. Kelly's publicist has said sayonara to the star, who has always seemed completely untroubled by his troubles. She, on the other hand, seems pissed and betrayed. She probably caught him messing with another teenager. Even publicists have some standards. On the other hand, maybe she just got burnt out. Can you imagine how hard it is to be R. Kelly's publicist?

Check out what she had to say after the jump.

My resignation was effective as of August 28, 2007. Throughout the course of my 25 years as a publicist, I have prided myself on loyalty, respect and professionalism. It saddens me that I was not always shown those same courtesies during my 14 year tenure as Mr. Kelly’s publicist.

Though I have a great appreciation for Mr. Kelly as an artist, there are some lines that should never be crossed professionally or personally. Mr. Kelly crossed a line that forever altered the scope of our relationship. For this reason I made the decision to resign.

My husband, music retailer George Daniels, has also disassociated himself from Mr. Kelly.
