It's a sneak peek at a full on interview that you can watch on CBS This Morning Wednesday & Thursday.

The interview itself was recorded today (Tuesday) and is Kelly's first since being charged with sexual abuse last month.

The charges involve four women, three of whom were underage at the time of the alleged events. (CBS)

Kelly contends these are all lies, that people are going back to the past to add on to it, that double jeopardy is not fair since he already beat his case, and he begs people to "use your common sense".

He has a court date on March 22nd where he's facing 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse, 4 victims including 3 minors, and cases that date back to 1998.
