The Lifetime docu-series Surviving R. Kelly debuts tomorrow, and in the first episode, new details of the R&B crooner’s relationship with Aaliyah are revealed.

Upon the release of first episode’s trailer, however, the late singer’s mother, Diane Haughton, has issued a statement via Instagram in response to a testimonial from Kelly’s former backup singer, Jovante Cunningham, who claims she witnessed Aaliyah having a sexual tryst with Kelly while on tour. 

“The woman and so-called back up singer in the forthcoming Surviving documentary that described seeing, meeting or ever breathing the same air as my daughter, Aaliyah, is lying and is a liar,” Haughton’s statement begins.
