According to TMZ, the talented vocalist and his team of lawyers officially filed court documents requesting his release from jail because he is allegedly not receiving proper care. His lawyers are saying that he has several health conditions that have gone untreated since entering into police custody and it's all taking a toll on his general wellbeing. Among the difficulties Kelly is reportedly having are numbness in one of his hands, anxiety, an untreated hernia, and more.

The papers also refer to Kelly's living conditions as "stifling." The source notes that his lawyers have disallowed both of his girlfriends, Azriel Clary and Joycelyn Savage, from visiting him at the same time. Only one of the ladies is allowed on his visiting list, which can be switched after ninety days. 

The judge has yet to rule.
