AceShowbiz - R. Kelly's ex-girlfriend Jerhonda Pace claims the singer forced her into suicide pact. In the new three-part documentary, "Surviving R. Kelly Part II: The Reckoning" which airs on Lifetime, Jerhonda admits she was ready to take her own life during her relationship with the R&B star.

"With Rob, I was part of a suicide pact with him. And if anything was to happen to him, if he was to go to jail or someone was to harm him, I was supposed to kill myself," Jerhonda, who met R. Kelly when she was just 17 years old, says in a clip of the Lifetime documentary. She calls the disgraced singer by his first name, Robert.

She continues, "When the suicide pact came about, Rob and I was in the mirror room, and he told me if I was everything to him like I say he is, then there would be no life worth living. He said, 'if something happens to me, I want you to take these pills.' " She goes on sharing, "When I was with him I was really ready to take my own life because Rob was everything to me. Rob was my life."

Meanwhile, in another interview with CBS News, R. Kelly accuser Faith Rodgers reveals she has been verbally and physically attacked by the singer's supporters and it has only got worse since his arrest. "[R. Kelly's arrest is] never going to stop the backlash. If anything, it's kind of worse since he's in jail," she claims. "It's a whole bunch of angry fans, so it really hasn't gotten any better. Knowing he's in jail, that's just knowing he's not hurting anybody else, but people who he hurt are still being affected."

Her father, Pastor Charles Rodgers, says he and his wife have been worried about their daughter's safety. "There's been a lot of negativity. We often worry about Faith's well-being, her safety," he shares. "When she's out trying to live her life, you know, many times she's attacked verbally, she's been attacked physically. It's pretty traumatizing."

Despite the attack, Faith, who also appears on "Surviving R. Kelly Part II", is still willing to speak out against him and testify in court should she be asked to. "[He] needs to go to jail forever. There needs to be no getting out...If they ask me, then I'll do my part," she declares.

In her lawsuit, Faith claims that Kelly regularly abused her "mentally, sexually and verbally." She also alleges that the singer unknowingly recorded their sexual acts and gave her a sexually transmitted disease.
