Kelly\u2019s left eye was barely open as he discussed the ordeal during an appearance on \u201cGood Day Philadelphia\u201d on August 1. \u201cIt was a frightening, disturbing event that apparently was incited by this TikTok challenge \u2014 similar to what you saw happen to Cardi B, with the water and being videoed,\u201d Kelly said.
