According to TMZ, her parents, Jonjelyn and Tim Savage’s attorney, GeraldGriggs, claim she never made the engagement known to the family.
Attorney Griggs says he finds it odd that Joycelyn didn’t testify about it under oath but slipped it into the letter for Judge Ann Donnelly that was submitted to the court before R. Kelly’s 30-year sentencing. Her family has strong doubts about the engagement story but wishes to reconnect with her to get the whole story.
It’s no secret the family has a strained relationship with Joycelyn, and to admit it isn’t unusual, she wouldn’t make it known to her parents. The attorney confirmed she hasn’t spoken to them since she left to be with the Piped Piper.
