SA SINGER ABUSE CLAIMS
South African singer and actor Robbie Klay has told the Beeld newspaper that he was abused by an older well-known male celebrity in his youth.
The 21 year old, who is popular primarily within the Afrikaans music market, says that he will not reveal the name of his alleged abuser.
In a report by the newspaper, headlined “SA star tells of ‘sex toy’ hell,” Klay claims that he and the man engaged in “oral sex, masturbation up to three times a day, pornography and nude photographs” for over seven years from the age of ten.
He told Beeld that he came forward with the revelations out of a desire to “encourage children who go through something similar to tell somebody they trust.”
Klay began his career as a child star and has recorded a number of CDs. He has also appeared in the the popular Afrikaans television drama Amalia.
He earlier told his mother and fiancée about the alleged abuse before going public with the claims.
“As a young boy I wondered if I was gay and I agonised over it, said Klay, adding, “I am totally negative about men. I cannot communicate normally with men.”
The Beeld says that it knows the identity of the alleged abuser, whom Klay refers to as “the uncle,” but has not published his name. It says that it has been contacted by another man who claims that he and a friend were also abused by the celebrity as children.
Make it clear, I am completely against sexually abusing anyone, but what I don’t understand, from the report in Beeld, Klay said: “Everytime I’d go there it he would fondle me”. My question is, so why the hell did you keep going back there time and time again? I am sorry, but that sounds pretty fishy to me, and sorta makes me wonder why he shouts it out as rape now all of a sudden.
But I also think I have a pretty good idea who this “uncle” is. I have heard roomers years ago, but what I heard was that Klay was just as involved…
takes two…. And what was he doing naked in his swimming pool as well?
That little maat knew EXACTLY what he was getting into and he USED the situation for financial gain. Where I come from that is called prostitution. I’m glad J got the interdict to stop this little scank from selling his story to the Huisgenoot and You…
Not saying J aint probably a very sick puppy, just saying every story has two sides.
wow duckie, when there is a 10 year-old and an adult involved … it definitely does NOT take two to tango.
i don’t know anything about this story but your’s and ‘Wondering’ and ‘Also Wondering’s comments are alarming.
i bet to you a woman wearing in skimpy attire is asking for it right? i’m scared, don’t answer.
simple fact: if in fact this uncle touched Robbie when he was under-aged, it is a crime and this uncle, regardless of whatever Robbie’s actions were, is a sick fuck who should be punished. but i think there’s an expiry date on pressing charges on things like this.
smell a fish here. If Robbie Klay believes that he was sexually assaulted, why is he not laying criminal charges? Why does he choose instead to launch this campaign in the media? And more importantly, why is he deliberately trying to cause sensation in the newspapers (that do not pay for stories) so he can sell the real scoop where he can name names to the magazines or Sunday newspapers (that do pay for stories)?
Any one else smell a fish here?
Smoke shows Fire. I would like to start by saying – someone is going to loose some fans – but I believe that if Robbie wanted it to stop he could – in his working life from so young he grew up very differently and was made aware of these ‘oom’s and tannies’ he had a supporting and trusting group of management and family – the fact might be he was curious and trusting – this is sad – the truth is that he should have sought legal action and by going to the media makes you wonder what the motive would be – I am tired of hearing because he is underage he is always the victim – what about a murderer under age…. Sexual acts against children makes me sick – but stop hiding behind age ….
Very Strange. 10 is out of the question if you touch a child you have to pay.
But at the age pf 17 you should now what is wrong and what is right for you unless you have a peanut for a brain. WHY, WHY,WHY did you go back and back and back again? Strange is’nt it!!!!
Robbie another question you can not communicate with men or dislike men is there something you hiding it seems so because only men that are scred of gay men has something to hide sorry you are just as guilty cry wolf now just means you were scare your lady friend will find out and your so called straight act is down the drain.
But if J did what he was not surpose to do I feel very sorry for Hestrie and the children because they do not deserve it at all.
Question is thid not a publicity stunned of R and J??????? OH they might still try to help each other.
Robbie if it is true go to the police if not stay away from things you to young to play the game. If your heart is broken because they are moving overseas catch a life. J if you guilty come dlean.
It just seems that the singers in this country try so hard to sell the CD’S and DVD”s if it is not Steve ten it is Kurt hat was attaced at is home , now J married , children now Robbie when are the the performers going to stop and get real
KLAY. To go back to “uncle” time, after time, after time…the new sneaks ‘n’ threads were pretty great! And…everyone loves being naked in a swimming pool, right?
This time, though, ‘guess the “tart’s getting stale”, or he can buy his OWN stuff these days!
Hmmmm…smells to high-Heaven!
