Music stars R Kelly and the late musical genius Michael Jackson are once again battling sexual misconduct charges that saw the former break down during a TV interview and see the latter’s estate face embarrassing new revelations that further tainted the pop icon’s image.

R Kelly angrily blamed his ex-wife for “destroying” his name and claimed other people stole from his bank accounts during new portions of an interview that aired Thursday, a day after the R&B star was jailed for not paying child support. Kelly, charged with sexually abusing three girls and a woman in Chicago years ago, shouted and cried as he spoke with Gayle King of “CBS This Morning.”
