R. Kelly is keeping Joycelyn Savage within arm’s reach.
#RKelly’s publicist gets fired up when I asked him about allowing #AzrielClary and #JoycelynSavage’s families to see their daughters. Darrell Johnson previously said he was working on allowing those families to see their daughters. @MichaelAvenatti @AttorneyGriggs @fox32news pic.twitter.com/TwYzO0VQ6n

For starters, if R. Kelly wants to retain any control over the situation, the meeting would have to take place in Illinois, because he’s not allowed to leave the state. On the other hand, The Savages seem willing to cover the distance but don’t want to stray too far from Joycelyn’s ailing grandmother whose residence lies on the outside.
The Savage’s were the first party to set their guidelines before R. Kelly’s team ever consented to the idea. According to the TMZ report, “a neutral location” is non-negotiable and was, ever since the idea of a meet-up was first implanted in their heads. Her parent’s official stance on the matter was voiced by the family attorney Gerald Griggs.
For the record: no meeting has been arranged as of this moment, and by law, Griggs can’t force the powers-to-be to make it happen. Kelly’s own publicist ducked for cover when asked the same question.
