In a recent interview with “Sway in the Morning,” Iyanla Vanzant revealed R. Kelly reached out to her to be on an episode of her OWN series, “Fix My Life. According to Iyanla Vanzant, R.Kelly reached out for her services long before the explosive "Surviving R. Kelly" documentary premiered. Unfortunately, Kells did not meet the criteria. “He didn’t meet one of the criteria that we had for guests. Are they willing? Are they ready? Do they have the capacity to do the work? He didn’t have it, the emotional capacity,” said Vanzant. “He just didn’t have it, and I knew, based on what I was looking at—the paces I would have had to take him tho—it would have been brutal. He didn’t have the capacity because he hasn’t done the work.” “I would never, ever condone or justify anything that he’s been accused of doing. But locking him up in jail is not the answer … he’s sick … Just like the people he allegedly committed these acts with—they’re sick. This needs to be massive healing—them, him all of them.” “But I do know, without some long-term intervention, he doesn’t have the capacity. Just wouldn’t be able to hear it, receive it. Classic thing is that he’s not telling the truth about it.”
