Fan posts R. Kelly bond after meeting him on cruise

A close friend of R. Kelly said Tuesday the woman who posted bond for the singer met him on a cruise five months ago.

Don Russell, a Kelly friend and adviser, said that within a few months of meeting the R&B singer Valencia Love posted $100,000 to help Kelly win his freedom from Cook County Jail after he spent three nights in custody.

Love was a fan of Kelly's music when she met the 52-year-old singer aboard a Spirit of Chicago cruise on Lake Michigan in September, Russell said. Over the weekend, she called members of Kelly's inner circle and told them she wanted to help when she saw he wasn't able to make bail.
