"As early as 1994, Kelly’s tour manager Demetrius Smith recalls warning Clive Calder, the founder of Jive Records, the first label to sign Kelly.

'I said, 'Clive, you all need to tell him that you all aren’t going to put out his records if he continues to have these incidents with these girls after the show,' ' Smith says he told Calder. “Because it was going on at every show.”

Calder, who is rarely interviewed, was reached at his home in the Cayman Islands. He said he regrets not trying harder to get help for Kelly.

'But I’m not a psychiatrist, and this guy is a troubled guy,' said the mogul, who sold Jive for $2.7 billion in 2002. 'Clearly, we missed something.'"
