R Kellys lawyers have requested the singers ex-wife Andrea be jailed and fined for breaking a confidentiality agreement against him.

In court documents filed Tuesday (2 July), Kellys lawyers have claimed that speaking out against the star was in breach of the agreement she signed amid their divorce battle in 2009.

According to the papers, acquired by Chicago Sun Times, part of the agreement was that they were to not criticise each other in public, and his lawyers argue that not only has Andrea done that, but shes earned a profit in the process.

Steve Greenberg, who represents the star, wrote: She should further be required to disclose each and every appearance she has made where she has discussed Robert Kelly, divulge all income earned as a result thereof, be fined by this court an amount equal to or in excess of the amount she has earned from a breach of the agreement, and jailed.

During the hearing over the missing money, Drea called for her divorce papers to become unsealed and available to the media, with the judge ruling in her favour.
