(The Facebook page was taken down after less than a day, for violating the social network's Community Standards.) Rodgers' mother also said in the press conference that she had received threats from Kelly. In her lawsuit, she says the singer "willfully, deliberately and maliciously" infected her with herpes and that he "mentally, physically and verbally" abused her.
There have been suggestions that Kelly never actually knew her real age, however, a video has emerged of R. Kelly describing her as "14-years-old" while recording with her in a studio.
Faith Rodgers and her lawyer Gloria Allred spoke on Monday at a news conference in NY.
A lawyer for Kelly, who has denied all of the abuse allegations, told CBS that the letter to Rodgers was "a fake".
"Taking a stand against R. Kelly, someone who has been termed ´the King of R&B´ and is loved by many has not been easy", Rodgers said Monday. Rodgers was one of several women who appeared in the Surviving R. Kelly docuseries accusing the singer of sexual abuse.

Rodgers says she met Kelly in San Antonio at a party after one of his concerts.
Allred said that Rodgers was going to be meeting with the NYPD, "We have an appointment today with the New York City Police Department who has asked to meet with Faith in furtherance of their investigation into potential victims of R. Kelly".
Since the six-part documentary detailing allegations against Kelly premiered, multiple artists have apologized for working with him, including Lady Gaga, Nick Cannon and Chance the Rapper.
"No woman should be criticized, shamed or retaliated against for speaking the truth", Rodgers told reporters. "I was vulnerable and impressionable when I met him at 19".
