"There had been a question if Kelly needed make good on $161,663 in back child support before posting bail, but lawyers agreed he could post bond even with that debt looming over him". She also states the singer has only been a "gentleman" in their interactions and the money that she bailed R. Kelly out with did not come from her pocket.
Kelly has been charged with sexually abusing four women, including three underage girls, in instances dating back to 1998.
The musician was tried and acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008 but is now facing the fresh allegations following the airing of TV documentary Surviving R Kelly.
Kelly walked into a Chicago courtroom on Monday wearing an orange jail jumpsuit for a hearing in his sexual abuse case.
The McDonald's, a popular tourist attraction, was known as Chicago's Rock "n" Roll McDonald's before being remodeled and losing its music theme. Avenatti added that his team has "substantial evidence" that alleges Kelly has previously attempted to hide this tape from prosecutors.
On court paperwork, Love describes herself as a "friend" of Kelly's as she shelled out $25,000 for each of the four cases - all with a different alleged victim - in which Kelly is accused of aggravated sexual abuse.
The court has ordered Kelly to surrender his passport and not to have contact with anyone under the age of 18.

She won from the match points down, turned it around. "I just kept trying to return balls and put the pressure on her". I think definitely I served much, much better in Melbourne than here. "It's been an unbelievable tournament for me".
The attorney says he has learned of a third tape but did not provide details about it.
Each count of the new charges carries up to seven years in prison, making it possible for Kelly to receive a sentence up to 70 years.
Avenatti, 48, says he is now representing seven clients - three alleged victims, two parents and two "whistleblowers" - in the investigation against Kelly, 52. Prosecutors claim Kells sexually abused the girl once a month for a year after she got the singer's number from her mom's purse.
Steve Greenberg, Kelly's defence attorney, said he expected the singer to post bail Monday evening. Nine of the 10 counts involve alleged victims ranging from 13 to 16 years old.
Also sources close to TMZ, also said that there was a part where he took some sort of lotion and "sprays" it all over her face.
Artists including Lady Gaga and Chance the Rapper have recently apologized for working with Kelly.
