R Kelly's wife drops protection order

R Kelly's wife Andrea, who, as previously reported, was granted a restraining order last week after alleging physical abuse and harassment, has dropped the protection request. R. Kelly's lawyer, Nathan Swerdlove, confirmed that the couple would attempt to resolve their differences outside the courtroom, and said that they are working towards a reconciliation: "They had a squabble and how many marriages don't have that sort of thing? They're trying to work things out, and they'd like to do it privately."
