Kelly Price’s disappearance has stirred up quite a buzz. Welcome, everyone, to this compelling discussion. Let’s delve into the case of R&B and gospel sensation Kelly Price. The weekend saw a flurry of concern surrounding Kelly Price’s whereabouts after reports emerged suggesting she was missing in action.
To provide some context, back in July, Kelly shared a video on Instagram revealing her positive COVID test result. She battled a severe case of the virus, leading to a hospital stay. Following her discharge, she seemingly vanished, leaving her family and close associates unable to reach her for over a month.
Her daughter, Nia, grew increasingly worried, especially considering her mother’s recent health ordeal. Despite her efforts to reach out, she hit a dead end. Turning to singer Nikki Gilbert for assistance, Nia sought any means possible to reconnect with her mother. Additionally, Kelly Price’s sister, Sean Ray, joined the frantic search, concerned for her sister’s well-being. The situation escalated to the point where they had to involve law enforcement to conduct a wellness check, with Sean Ray taking the initiative to contact the police.
Despite exhaustive efforts, there has been no word from Kelly. The family’s anxiety mounts as they await any sign of her whereabouts. The uncertainty surrounding her disappearance has left them deeply troubled, with Sean Ray expressing sheer panic over the ordeal during the police wellness check.
There was much speculation surrounding Kelly’s disappearance. Some suggested she was abducted, others feared she was battling for her life on a ventilator, while some believed she had tragically passed away in an undisclosed location. Suspicions also arose regarding her new husband, Daryl Crump, amid reports suggesting he kept Kelly isolated from her family.
Kelly tied the knot with Daryl Crump in November last year, and he remained by her side during her COVID battle. However, it struck many as odd that he didn’t keep her family informed about her condition. This lack of communication seemed dubious to many observers.
The mystery surrounding Kelly’s condition and whereabouts deepened, leaving many unsure of her safety or even if she was still alive. She seemed to vanish without a trace.
Eventually, reassurance came from members of Kelly’s team, confirming her safety and well-being. Industry friends also affirmed that she was okay and had reached out to her daughter Nia, though she had not contacted her sister, Sean Ray.
Sean Ray, visibly concerned for her sister, publicly called for Kelly to reconnect with her family. However, it emerged that Kelly and her sister weren’t particularly close, shedding light on why she hadn’t reached out. Nonetheless, Sean Ray urged Kelly to bridge the gap, emphasizing the importance of familial ties alongside spousal bonds.
This is how Kelly’s sister’s perspective was conveyed: “Kelly’s sister made an intriguing point, suggesting that it’s possible to love both your husband and your family. However, whether she implied that Kelly prioritizes her new husband over her family remains unclear. What’s certain is that Kelly and her sister, Sean Ray, don’t share a close bond. The public seems to view Kelly’s sister with skepticism, especially since she was promoting her new single during Kelly’s absence. Some questioned if her concern was genuine or driven by a desire for attention. Yet, I believe she was genuinely worried and attempting to reconnect with Kelly. Unfortunately, Kelly shows no interest in repairing their strained relationship. It’s disheartening that despite enduring multiple tragedies, including the loss of their mother, grandparents, and youngest sister, they remain estranged. Hopefully, they’ll reconcile while they still have time. Life is too short for grudges.”
Regarding Nicci Gilbert’s actions, Da Brat criticized her for discussing Kelly’s family: “Let’s delve into Nikki Gilbert’s involvement. While it’s true that she assisted Kelly’s daughter and sister in the search, she also managed to reach Kelly herself, confirming that she was safe.”
“Hello everyone, I hope you’re doing well. Just dropping in quickly to wish you all a happy Sunday. I wanted to share that I recently had a conversation with Kelly Price. She reached out to me last night, and we had a lengthy discussion. While I won’t delve into the specifics now out of respect for Kelly’s privacy, I can assure you that Kelly is doing fine. She’s not on a ventilator nor held against her will. She’s currently recovering from COVID-19. I wanted to provide this update for those who, like me, were concerned about her well-being. Let’s continue to keep missing girls in our thoughts, discuss the BMF premiere, and later tonight, I’ll share my reflections on this situation and how we can all learn and grow from it. Tune in at 10:30 for the live discussion; the link is in my bio. Oh, and yes, Kelly is doing well.”
Additionally, Da Brat confirmed Kelly’s well-being and threw some subtle criticism towards Nikki Gilbert for leveraging Kelly’s situation to promote her show on Work TV. Da Brat emphasized the importance of respecting people’s privacy during challenging times:
“I’ve noticed some chatter about Kelly, with people claiming they’ve spoken to her, implying they’re close friends or family. Yes, a few of us have spoken with Kelly, those who truly care about her. However, it’s not our place to publicize or exploit her situation. We should respect her journey and allow her to share her story when she’s ready, if she chooses to. If my friends were facing difficulties, they wouldn’t want their struggles broadcasted for promotion. So, yes, Kelly is alright, her children and attorney have confirmed it. What more do we need to know?”
Just wait for Kelly and respect her privacy. It’s enough that she’s dealing with things. I’ve spoken to her, as have many others, and she’s given permission for me to reassure those concerned that she’s okay, without delving into details. Her story is hers to share when she’s ready. I care about Kelly deeply, and we’re in touch. I won’t exploit her situation for attention. I understand the importance of privacy, especially regarding health and well-being.
I’m mature enough not to seek attention. I’ve been advocating for women for years; it’s not some sudden decision. I’m offended by anyone suggesting otherwise. Celebrities speaking out don’t know the full picture like I do. If someone has an issue, they can reach out directly, as Kelly did. No need for public drama. I won’t engage in unnecessary conflict, but I won’t shy away from defending myself.
I dislike when people with large followings assume the worst about me, especially when we have history. Let’s not spread misinformation or invade Kelly’s privacy. I’m not here to gossip or exploit. It’s disappointing to see the situation sensationalized. Kelly knows who truly cares for her.
This whole ordeal has become messy. While I understand emotions are high, it’s unfair to accuse others of seeking attention.
Kelly’s daughter and sister reached out to Nikki out of deep concern for Kelly’s whereabouts, so Nikki was truly being a supportive friend by assisting them in finding answers. Regrettably, the situation spiraled out of control, becoming incredibly messy. I wish it hadn’t escalated to the extent it did. While I empathize with Kelly’s recovery journey, it would have been reassuring if she had contacted her family earlier to let them know she was safe. I believe such communication could have prevented the situation from escalating. Additionally, her husband’s silence on the matter is concerning and raises red flags for me. It’s puzzling that he didn’t inform her family, signaling potential issues. Although I understand Kelly’s desire for privacy during her recovery, she could have still provided her family with some updates. Eventually, Kelly did issue a statement to TMZ, revealing that she had experienced a flatline during her battle with COVID and explaining her need for some time away.
At some point, I became disconnected. Let me explain. I contracted COVID and battled it for over a week, but my condition deteriorated. While I had it, my husband tirelessly cared for me at home, coordinating with my doctor, administering treatments, and ensuring I took my medication on time. Despite his efforts, he also contracted the virus. When my temperature spiked to 103°F and my breathing became dangerously shallow, he made the decision to call an ambulance. I was hospitalized but soon discharged to free up beds, returning home with oxygen support and receiving regular visits from home health aides for four weeks. Although privacy laws prevent those who cared for me from speaking out, I was under their watchful eye several times a week. Just a week ago, I received my first negative COVID test, but I’m grappling with long COVID, facing a challenging road to recovery. After a year marked by loss, including the passing of my grandmother before my diagnosis, I recognize the urgent need to prioritize my own well-being.
People, whether fans or otherwise, kept coming to my house, ringing the bell, leaving items at my doorstep, and disturbing my neighbors at all hours of the day and night. I’ve experienced this firsthand. It became unbearable, so much so that just a week ago, I had to vacate my house because I couldn’t find peace there. The doorbell incessantly rang day and night. I disconnected from social media entirely. Contrary to claims, it hasn’t been a matter of mere months since I last saw my sister; it’s been a whole year. We haven’t been in the same room since our mother’s funeral. Even before that, the pandemic kept us apart. This estrangement isn’t new for us. I wasn’t missing. I was at home, prioritizing my health, undergoing medical care with two other household members battling active COVID cases. Visitors were out of the question due to our condition. Everyone in my family knew my whereabouts. It’s disheartening that things spiraled this way based on falsehoods. Regarding my daughter, she may be 27, but in that circumstance, she was vulnerable to manipulation. She’s my youngest, and I’ve never been in jeopardy. My focus now is on self-care.
That’s Kelly’s perspective, and I’m relieved she’s doing okay, recovering from a lot, including lung issues affecting her singing voice. My prayers are with her. However, I still believe she should’ve reached out to family to reassure them. A simple text could’ve prevented this situation from escalating. Nonetheless, I’m glad Kelly’s alright, and I wish her continued recovery. Share your thoughts on this video below. Don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe, and share.
