According to The New Post, Anthony Navarro – R. Kelly’s personal assistant between 2007 and 2009 – testified against his ex-employer Brooklyn federal court Friday.

“The things you had to do was just a bit uncomfortable, it was almost like The Twilight Zone, you went into the gate, and it was like a different world, just a strange place,” Navarro said on the third day of R. Kelly’s sex crimes and racketeering trial. “If they’re not where they’re supposed to be, you’d have to tell Rob or a manager. They weren’t supposed to be wandering around, they weren’t supposed to leave the room.”

Navarro – who has also worked for celebrities like Taylor Swift, Jay-Z, and Kanye West - also reportedly told the court that when he was working for R. Kelly, he allegedly escorted the singer’s underage girlfriends to their designated rooms at his former employer’s Olympia Fields mansion. He also had to make sure they didn’t leave their designated areas.

“They looked really young,” Navarro testified. “I thought they were like mid-aged teenagers. We were instructed not to talk to any of the females. Sometimes they would get envelopes of money when leaving.”
