This, of course, all stems from Kelly’s history, which included beating a rap on child pornography charges.
Through the jeers, there were still those parents who welcomed their Chi-town superstar. “You’re still my baby, no matter what you did!” yelled one fan, Leslie Kaizer, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Another paradegoer wasn’t so impressed. “It doesn’t seem right,” she said. “I don’t think I’d have picked him.”
