I wish we could stick with the lovey-dovey feels here, but the week has been filled with some really heavy news. First, attorney Michael Avenatti said that he gave prosecutors a previously undisclosed tape of R. Kelly allegedly sexually assaulting a 14-year-old.

Not only because he was the victim of a racist, homophobic attack, but also because people are questioning his story. "It's not necessarily that you don't believe that this is the truth, you don't even want to see the truth," he said on "Good Morning America.
