This story came out earlier this week and I’m sorry for missing it in the haze of the Ben Affleck nanny non-scandal. (Who is surprised by that? No one.) As you know, Kelly Rutherford’s very long custody case was recently rejected by a California court, who ruled that they no longer have jurisdiction. Kelly had petitioned a NY court to take her case, and hoped to ensure that Monaco, where her children now live with their German father, would not take control. Kelly’s lawyers did not seem to be talking to each other because her California lawyer sounded devastated that the case was not under CA jurisdiction while her NY-based lawyer said this was the plan all along and it would work in their favor. Well it didn’t work in their favor, because NY ruled that they don’t have jurisdiction either. Of course Kelly had a bunch of words to say in response and of course she dragged her children to various swag suites and events (dressed all in white, natch) despite their father’s wish that the children be shielded from the media.
Here’s part of People’s report on this:
On Thursday, a Los Angeles judge decided California no longer has jurisdiction over Rutherford’s two kids with ex-husband Daniel Giersch. Her attorney Wendy Murphy filed a case in New York family court, but Rutherford says the judge decided Friday that state also does not have jurisdiction.
“New York said it had no jurisdiction because California had jurisdiction – which is silly – but it is what it is,” Murphy tells PEOPLE. “This new jurisdiction vacuum leaves the children with only their American constitutional citizenship rights to protect them from forced exile, and as rights go, there’s nothing stronger than citizenship, so we are optimistic.”
Rutherford tells PEOPLE she has met with presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, reached out to Secretary of State John Kerry and asked the State Department for help “to no avail” and describes what has happened to her as a “legal kidnapping.” Her petition asking President Barack Obama to intervene has received more than 100,000 signatures, and she has testified at congressional hearings twice.
“It’s just incredible as an American mom with America-born children,” she says. “My forefathers fought for this country and the freedoms we enjoy.”
This cracks me up so much “My forefathers fought for this country and the freedoms we enjoy.” Her kids are not in exile. This is not an international kidnapping situation. They still retain their US passports, they’re just living with their dad and extended family in Monaco. Multiple courts and judges have confirmed this. She still has access to her kids and her ex pays for the flights and accommodation for her to visit. It must be hard, it must hurt, but she tried to cut her ex out of kids’ lives and it backfired and he stepped up for them. They seem to be well cared for, just not by her and not in the US.
Do you know that White House petition that Kelly started asking Obama to intervene in her custody case? Well the White House has issued a statement saying that they can’t make a comment due to ongoing litigation, as it clearly states in the terms of service for the White House petitions.
Thanks to NotASugar for the tip!

Kelly is doing this all wrong by having herself and the children wear white. They should all be wearing red,white and blue, plus the little dog should be dressed as the Statue of Liberty. Then the courts would start to take her seriously
Seriously all these white clothes and she even bought a white dog…
LOL!
She needs more bald eagles too.
She should have baked an apple pie for the judge.
And everyone needs a hand gun.
Yes! Where are the Bald Eagles damn it!!!
She needs to give it a rest. She is the reason for her problems. She got her his and deported & that started the whole mess. The red, white & blue bloviating is just disingenuous & tiresome
Isn’t her new boyfriend bald? He would be a good stand in.
But white is the color angels wear, and angels are tight with Jesus, and you can’t be tight with ‘Merica unless you’re tight with Jesus. I see her logic there, and Sarah Palin probably does too.
(All jokes)
Can you imagine if Sarah Palin gets involved in this?
Sarah need to stay in Monaco as well. Not that she could find it on a map.
I’m sure Sarah can see Monaco from her house, though.
She could also stamp “exiled” on one of their foreheads and “kidnapped” on the other. Maybe the dog could wear a sign that said “help me.”
I think his eyes already say “help me.” I shall save you, Mr. PuffyFluff
In one pic the dog is looking to someone off camera, probable his agent. He probably wants a sign from his agent that his hour is up so he can get away from that crazy woman.
She also needs a marching band of veterans with her everywhere she goes.
Plus Boy and Girl Scouts handing out home baked apple pies
And fireworks. Please don’t forget the sparklers. Never forget.
She’s also doing a strange Native American theme with the skirt mimicking a fringed buckskin / leather skirt and the giant turquoise bracelet. Trying to drive home the idea that her children were born in America, they are “native” to that country, this is destroying their rights as US citizens, etc. ?
The funny thing is on anyone else I’d believe that’s just what they wanted to wear that day, but for some reason I can totally get behind the idea that she meticulously plans each and every look to somehow represent her cause.
Wren, ITA. She seems like she would be THAT manipulative, THAT much of a control freak.
@Wren
Because she DOES. Their outfits are always colour-coordinated, even the freaking dog is white. It’s white-grey-blue, white-grey-blue, nothing else. There was a blind once that she had a lover and would only fcuk him on prearranged dates she’d write down in her calendar, I now believe it.
I really hope that dog actually belongs to someone else.
I hope Kelly didn’t buy it for the kids so that at the end of their summer visitation, the kids would be crying and not wanting to leave behind their dog.
I hope it’s not a plan to try to make it hard on the kids to want to go back to Monaco.
Sure, the kids would be sad that they have to leave their dog. I’m more concerned what will happen to the dog after the kids leave.
Hopefully, you’re right and the dog belongs to someone else.
She’s just getting used to the clothes she’ll have to wear in the psychiatric facility when she finally loses it for good.
I know this is already been said a lot here, but I feel so bad for those kids! They look miserable in those pictures, and it’s really awful that one parent wants to shield them from the media and the other one deliberately undermines that for her own gain. And the forefathers bit, PLEASE. Just stahp already.
She’s done nothing but parade them around since they got here.
That should count against her legally somehow!
Kip-
It probably has. Along with every other crazy and over the top thing she’s done. I feel bad for her because it can’t be easy having your kids live half a world away, but on the other hand there’s probably Very Good Reasons the arrangement is that way.
We need Tina to come back and give us the link to the 2010 judicial statement about that. This kind of behavior was prohibited.
You are absolutely right Krista and it’s sickening. Instead of spending one-on-one time with the kids, taking them to the park or simply spending quiet time together, she drags them to one event after another taking advantage of every opportunity to draw attention to herself and get publicity.
Seriously, let kids be kids ffs – especially in this situation where they have already been through the wringer, why force them to endure one pap walk after another. It IS possible to have a quiet life with your kids Kelly. Shame on you!!!

https://nationalparentsorganization.org/blog/20391-media-still-ignorant-about-kelly-rutherford-daniel-giersch-case
And the court ruling that EVERYONE should read!!!
http://harris-ginsberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Statement-of-Decision.pdf
Thank you!!
Wow…there’s a whole lot of crazy in that court ruling! I do not feel one iota sorry for this woman. She needs to go away and stop pestering people like presidents and presidential hopefuls, who have real issues to tackle, with her child custody BS.
Exactly! You don’t see photos of Daniel parading them around for the media. As soon as those kids arrive with Kelly, we get non-stop photos of her greeting them, walking to get ice cream, attending charity events, etc.
I suspect they have a fairly normal, affluent life with their father and that’s a good thing.
On a side note, they are beautiful children.
And what are they doing with her daughter, putting on makeup? I mean, not little-girl sparkly makeup, but professional makeup? Her daughter’s face says to me, ugh, this is stupid, why am I supposed to like this?
Also, why is she still carrying her daughter around. This reminds me so much of Suri and TOmmy. If your legs are dangling down to your parent’s thighs, then you can stand and walk on your own!
I think she is the same enabler who dared complain to court that the husband was potty training the son. Stupid enabler.
Exactly. The kids look miserable. They are old enough to know what’s going on. I’ve said this before – if it were my kids living most of the year in Monaco, I would also be living most of the year in Monaco. Kelly should move there and petition for spousal support and 50/50 custody. If the point of this is to be with her kids, then she has it within her power to do so. Sadly, the point is about keeping her kids’ father away from them and she clearly screwed that up, big time.
Her ex pays for her flight and for all her expenses while she’s in Monaco. There’s no way he’d pay for her to live there full time — and he shouldn’t have to. She’s the one who got him thrown out of the US, so she’s reaping what she sowed.
Do a search about her first husband. She left him shortly after their wedding when he developed health problems. Karma is a biotch, Kelly!
You don’t get it do you?
She now has no court at all. Ridiculous because U S citizens live somewhere and basically the courts are saying she lives nowhere.
Something is not clean in this. Daniel was ordered 4 years ago to reapply for a visa and he has not even filed the first form in the process. His custody was temporary until he fixed his visa problem. She was actually granted primary custody 5 years ago.
Foreign courts do not have the right to hear custody cases that originated in the States of a US granted divorce. They can be brought in to enforce agreements but nothing else.
Also as of 2013, her costs of traveling overseas are her own and her ex pays nothing. That is in court docs anyone can read.
Kip and Krista
I agree she has paraded them around
My one tiny shread of defense of her for that tho is that IS who SHE is. She was that woman when she met their dad and he knew it. She was that woman when thy had kids and she’s still that woman. He can “take” her kids but he can’t take her famewhoring ways from her.
She just gets crazier and crazier. The time to give up and look into gaining residence in Monaco was years back. I’m starting to think the ONLY reason she’s still fighting this pointless battle is because it’s brought her the most attention she’s ever gotten.
That’s how I feel about it! She could have ended this by being a little more flexible. But it really seems like this is more about revenge on her ex than truly wanting to be with her children.
I agree. I think she’s thriving on the attention she’s getting over this.
Double post, sorry.
Those kids are gorgeous! And they look just like Kelly. They got all her good features.
The daughter looks just like her dad
Based on my limited knowledge of this woman, from reading here, I give kudos to the judge who gave custody to the father. She sounds like a person with grandiose ideas about herself, a very manipulative individual who is very focused on her wants, with little actual consideration for her children.
Feel the same way Kiddo..
+ 2, smart
Totally agree. She is twisting the situation (my children are in exile! They’re being kidnapped!) and trying to manipulate the patriotic heartstrings (my forefathers -who says forefathers? – fought for the freedoms we all enjoy!) and is basically just a vengeful, entitled brat who wants everything her own way. I think the children are much better off with the father, who seems genuinely concerned about the kids.
@Kiddo Spot on!
^I like your name^
Kiddo~ I couldn’t agree more and grandiose is a perfect way to describe how she views herself. She is so narcissistic, so caught up in what she wants and needs, so caught up in winning, her kids are merely the fight.
I also can’t stand the way the media runs with it on her behalf. Never before have I seen a court case that is so misrepresented in the media, in terms of facts being laid out very clearly in the 52 pages of the court ruling. All the things she did, all the slander, all of the threats.
Why can’t one journalist treat her the way they treated Cara D. Yesterday??
Anchors: Hey Kelly; we were wondering with all of this propaganda going on with your case, have you actually read the court ruling, or are you just too busy talking to the Media to actually see where this all started?
Anchor 2: Yes Kelly. Today you seem particularly wingnut, or maybe it’s just us?
Kelly: it’s just you. Are you even American citizens?? Do you know what that right means to have taken away because I don’t like guns and maybe Daniel totes them, but if it helps my case I love guns and I wish congress would listen to me. I am proud to be an American and I gave birth to my kids on this soil, and that no good ex hubby of mine thinks he can just be a great father time and time again and he will continue to get custody without being an American? Doesn’t he realize that babies can ONLY BE AMERICAN CITIZENS?
Anchor 3: Yeah kelly, your mood seems a little less “motherly” today, and a little bit more Me, Me, Me. Maybe a good sit down with a therapist and a few doses of reality would help you out. Mmmmkay? Oh, and honey, you have a little stain on your white shirt.
She gives me whiffs of the same kind of unstable crazy as one of my childhood friend’s mothers. I was scared to death of that woman because she would go nutso over (what seemed to me) nothing and scream hyperbole whenever she was even the slightest bit upset. She’s go from nice to vindictively angry in seconds. For whatever reason, reading about Kelly reminds me so much of her, which is probably why her kids live mostly with their father.
Based on her behaviour I do not think her children would have ended up seeing their father much if she has gotten the custody.
Me, neither, since it’s her fault he got kicked out of the country.
Those kids are much better off with their dad and away from this crazy woman
The entitlement that oozes off of her is sickening.
Cute kids. Entitled beeyotch.
That woman! How could any reasonable judge agree with her when every time she opens her mouth, more and more bs comes out? And those lawyers – where did she even find them? America this! America that! What if the children tried to mention that they are half German in her presence? She’d probably wrap herself in an American flag and ordered them to sing the US anthem 50 times in a row, one for every state.
Oh lord, this woman. You lost fair and square, and it isn’t the job of presidential hopefuls and members of congress to get your children back. Children that were not kidnapped but living legally with their father in another country.
While I’m very respectful of the fact her ex has stayed out of the spotlight, I’d love to hear his side of the story.
It seems like only the father is doing what’s in the best interests of the children. She’s an idiot making this situation all about her and her ego. I’m glad their father is low-key and staying classy.
I’m waiting for Daniel to get remarried at some point. Kelly will go all kinds of crazy when another woman (someone who’s not an AMERICAN) is spending more time with her kids than she is. It will be EPIC.
I wonder if it’s something he would do, I wouldn’t blame him for being gun shy in that department lol.
She would go all 5150 if/when that happens – no doubt!! Psych hold for sure.
she is crazy but those kids are beautiful
Ny wasted no time saying no.
As a taxpayer, I want that obnoxious, jingoistic moron to reimburse me and every other taxpayer for the cost incurred every single time a government worker has to deal with her or her supporters by answering a phone, opening a letter or email in this unbelievably offensive campaign of hers. No, moron, your forefathers did not fight so you could gum up government agencies with your frivolous bigotry. Read the Constitution.
I love you on this topic, Lilac! Way to reclaim REAL, GENUINE patriotism.
Thank you! Thank you! I think that, like Kelly’s own kids will, in spite of her, I benefited by spending time in another country as a child. We are citizens of the world
Patriotism does not equal jingoism. I think that’s the takeaway, isn’t it?
Exactly! And jingoism makes us look bad
You go, Lilac! Every word is true!
Totally behind you on this one, Lilac! 🙂
I used to work at a courthouse. She would be labeled a vexatious litigant and generally a nut that all employees would avoid helping.
This is basically her career now. Parading the kids around and playing the victim.
I dont know whats worse her trying to spin it into a matter of freedom and patriotism or that it works with quite a few people.
also “My forefathers fought for this country” you mean fought the Natives, Kelly?
Saying it while wearing an outfit that mimics clothing of some Tribal groups.
Wanna spend time with your kids, Kelly? MOVE TO MONACO FOR A FEW MONTHS A YEAR.
With a visitor’s visa, she can stay in Monaco for 3 months and then must return to the States for 3 months. She can do this twice a year, totaling 6 months, plus she gets them for the summer. She could have those children 8 months of the year, even though they have joint custody, should she choose to move part time to Monaco/France.
Because her children are residents and EU citizens, my bet is that she could get permanent residency if she really wanted. Might require some legal exception, but it would make sense. I don’t know why she hasn’t been working on that angle all along. Oh, yeah, she’s nuts.
It’s not as if her career is thriving anyway.
Yeah, you just keep parading the kids in front of the press, Kelly. I’m sure the courts will LOVE that.
I’m sure she’ll try to claim that it was for work, and what is she supposed to do, she has to earn money, etc. which only further demonstartes why those kids are so much better off with their father.
I just can’t with this chick anymore.
When will a judge use his/her head and start issuing gag orders? The hyperbole is off the charts. Enough is enough.
It was issued over 3 years ago. Like Lohan, she can do what she wants, and the courts will do nothing. The courts in the States are a complete joke. ( I also doubt they’re any better here)
I hate to do this-but we’re all thinking she’s going to actually kidnap the kids at the end of the summer and not give them back right? Id be willing to bet my house on it.
What’s really depressing are the comments on people, Facebook, etc supporting her. Sigh.
Yes it does seem to be building up to that – I’ll bet she and her lawyers already have arguments to make about it. However if she does do it – she will likely be arrested and extradited to Monaco to face trial there for child kidnapping. The French don’t look too kindly at that and am sure she’ll be popular with the other prison inmates.
Is she still with the very wealthy bf? Haven’t seen them papped together recently.
Monaco has its own court system, The Department of Justice. I assume that will be the court that ends up with jurisdiction, not a French court.
That thought about her keeping the kids had crossed my mind too.
And yes, it’s depressing that the commenters on other sites (as well as all the pro-Kelly media writers) haven’t thought to ask themselves why, exactly, the courts have been consistently ruling in her ex-husband’s favor. You’d think someone might wonder why that is and go find a ruling to read.
I have been fearing she would scoop the kids and run to some country without extradiction for months. I suspect he has been fearing it too and that is why the passports have been an issue in the court pleadings. I’m sure he has hired private investigators to track her every move. For all her lying about their rights being violated, she seems the one most likely to abduct them and force them to live in a country where they aren’t citizens.
I think he lost on that one. The passports aren’t being held by a neutral third party from what I remember reading.
My only hope is that she would never leave ‘Murica where she can strut around with the poor kids for the paps and getting clueless D list celebs to support her tomfoolery. Where is the fun in that for her? We all can see that she is only doing this as a way of staying in the news. Even someone as deluded as she is must see by now that every AMERICAN court has sided with the father (for all good reasons) and have sent her packing with her wild claims and lies. Hiding with the kids anywhere would not be her style – if you can’t wear matching white outfits and crying to the press, then it’s not good clean family time fun…
Huge respect for Daniel who is dealing with this daily. And yeah, I am sure he has private investigators following her because the crazy is strong with this one. He has to make sure he protects the kids.
The good news is that most of the countries that do not have extradition treaties with the U.S. are not exactly posh or celeb-friendly. The bad news is that someone as delusional as Kelly will likely try to abscond with her kids somewhere…most likely a country with a court system that can be “swayed” with well-placed “gratuities.” That’s my current working theory.
Any guesses? Russia? UAE?
This is the only place where I can read well thought, sane commentary about this case. FB, Yahoo, all of it is filled with clueless sheep.
Kudos to her ex for no doubt realizing what a crazy loon Kelly has become and trying to ensure the Hollywood lifestyle doesn’t affect his children the way it has their mother.
I know it’s been discussed in previous threads regarding this situation, so my thought is not original, but there’s nothing that would stop me from packing up and moving to Monaco to be with my children, especially not the hope of fame and fortune. Daniel seems to be abundantly fair and reasonable when it comes to her being with her kids. It’s hard for me to have much pity for her at all.
Good. This woman is psycho.
This is another one of those women who needs to grow up and put her children first instead of playing the victim. What she is doing is not healthy for her kids. She is manipulative and selfish. If she hadn’t lied and had her husband deported (presumably, and ironically, so she could have the kids all to herself), then he would have been in the US and they could have shared custody 50/50. She created this situation and the kids have been living in Monoco and he has paid for her to fly down and see the kids numerous times of the year as well as have them for the summers. He was paying for everything – her airfare, accommodations, transportation, etc. The kids seem to have a stable life there and he seems like he is a good father to them, and I believe his mother is helping him raise them. She could have chosen to work with him or lived there part of the year to be more a part of their lives. Men do it all the time. Instead she tires to make into into some national issue with all this rhetoric. It never helps your children when you continue to badmouth their other parent and put them in the middle. If I was him, I would be worried about parental alienation. Who knows what she says to those kids about him?! She definitely appears to be the type of person who would spew lies to try to get them on “HER” side against their Dad so she can say: See, they want to live with me! She’s all about winning her way instead of what is healthy for them and one day, when they are older, they will look back on this and they won’t be proud of how “she fought for them” …they will resent her for fighting with their father for so long and making everyone miserable. She comes across as very unstable and extreme, and while I don’t think she’s ever hurt them to get back at him… her behaviour and actions raise doubts about her mental stability and decision making. All I would say to her is: Stop trying to WIN and put the kids first. Tearing them away from the life they have with their father isn’t going to make them happy.
I thought there was a legal agreement that those kids weren’t allowed to be photographed?
Yes, but she keeps breaking the rules, because they don’t apply to her (eye roll).
This woman just exudes crazy to me.
The children are darling but I wish she’d keep them away from the big pap tour and just enjoy them privately. Perhaps it would help relations with their father.
I bet her ex- husband is sorry he ever had sex with her.
Twice.
She’s getting ripped apart in the comments on the People article.
Finally the truth is sinking in for some of her wackjob fans.
If she wants to be close to her kids, go live in Monaco. It’s not like she has some thriving career in the U.S. that keeps her here. If they were my kids there’s no way I would live half a world away from them, I don’t care what the circumstances are. I would find a way to work from over there. Agree with others that she sounds totally unhinged.
If I understand this mess correctly:
– During the original CA custody case, she tried to move the jurisdiction to NY.
– In July, she testified in front of Congress that a California judge forced a “legal kidnapping” of her children.
– When CA gave up jurisdiction, her CA lawyer complained.
– She complained that the CA court was forcing her to prove that she lived in CA.
– She said she lives in NY because it’s closer to Monaco.
– When the jurisdiction issue came up in NY, she was denied. I haven’t read the decision, but I’m thinking it’s because she’s playing loose with the courts. If she didn’t like the CA custody order, then she wanted to claim it had no jurisdiction in the first place since she spends most of her time in NY. I’m thinking that NY’s decision was based on the fact that the kids never actually lived there as residents.
And now that the kids are visiting for the summer, she keeps taking them to events where they get pap’d and their faces are seen in the media, which a commenter said was against the court order.
I read a commenter’s wonderment on why she hasn’t just rented a secluded place and make it a summer of just the three of them if she’s so desperate to spend time with her kids.
I think that she has OCD. There’s meds for that.
No, I have OCD and I don’t behave like that.
She’s an entitled b*tch and is throwing a tantrum of major proportions and trying to ruin the life of who she thinks did her wrong.
Yeah, I have OCD, too, and her behavior is in no way typical of someone who has been diagnosed with OCD.
I apologize to all those with OCD for my comment. I take it back.
But I do believe she is obsessing over this matter to such a point that it’s been detrimental to her plans every step of the way. It’s just continual self-sabotaging.
I don’t know what the proper term for her would be then, but whatever it is, she needs psychological assistance.
If we’re going to armchair diagnose her, I think a narcissistic personality disorder is more likely.
I’ve never once read of her saying anything like, “This is best for my children.” I don’t think that kind of logic even crosses her mind. Her world revolves around what she wants.
I think she suffers from NPD (Narcisisstic Personality Disorder). Unfortunately, psychological assistance would likely be useless – people with NPD think there is nothing wrong with them and if other people object to their behaviour, those people are the ones who should get counselling.
Jurisdiction shopping. Or forum shopping. And judges hate it, it pisses them off.
I think the NY courts shut down any notion of assuming jurisdiction because 3/4 of the parties involved in this case live essentially full-time in Monaco. The children do not appear to have the necessary minimum contacts with the state of NY, and Giersch has none.
Or the NY courts realized that they have enough crap to deal with and decided to punt to Monaco.
Hey, Kelly – Give it up with the exiled garbage!! They retain an American passport (you know, the one you brought to Monaco for no reason at all), plus, they are in AMERICA right now!!! So, yeah, exiled much?!?!?
You should STFU and enjoy the kids instead of figuring out what shade of white to wear!!
She’s so gross for parading those poor kids in front of the cameras and dragging them to her stupid events. I bet they have no such experiences in Monaco. And of course she and Hilria (Alec’s wife) are photographed together. Fame whores be fame whoring.
I imagine her kids are having as fun a summer as the Affleck kids.
If these are the unhinged things she says in public statements, and before Congress, what on earth does she say to the children? I just picture her saying awful things about their father (the kidnapper) and then smothering them with hugs while telling them that no one loves them like she does. This is not love; this is ego. I’m sure the children love her, but it is pitiful that she doesn’t provide a private, calm family life for them instead of using them in her fight against their father.
1) Her forefathers? May have been a mistake to go there, Kelly! Think I read somewhere that Daniel’s a descendent in some way of von Stueben, so I HIGHLY doubt KR can trump his familial contributions to the Continental Army!
2) On that note, as a vet I just break out in hives everytime she drags AMMURRICA and exile and ‘patriotism’ into her crazy–and this ‘fought for America so gimme the kids’ bit is particularly offensive.
3) I’m embarrassed now for Hillary.
4) She IS violating a court order every time she runs those poor kids through a photo call, right?
5) She may also regret these tacky photo ops, as until now I had no idea that her knees were so ugly. //sorry–highly inappropriate comment on physical appearance has nothing to do with the rightness/wrongness of her cause. But did make me feel a little better!
Girl needs to knock off the crazy if she wants any hope of getting her kids back. Making unhinged, grandiose statements to the media isn’t helping her one bit.
If Monaco gets jurisdiction, all her ‘Murica ‘Murica nonsense is NOT going to play well.
I don’t understand why she doesn’t just move to Europe to be closer to them. I know she has a career but I haven’t seen her work in quite a while. Maybe she could get a TV hosting job or something in Europe?
Snobby and entitled. There’s a whole lot of drama going on behind her goopy exterior. Give it a rest, lady. Your kids are only going to remember the drama. She can’t believe that the courts aren’t siding with her melodramatic waspy butt. Buy a house in Monaco (tax free there, right?), co parent your kids (because you can afford to move where they are) and get over yourself.
That woman….. I can’t,,,,
A few observations here. Firstly I really don’t think she knows what to do with the children any more for 6 weeks. It is a looong time to be a parent and to pay attention to their needs when there are so many events to attend and pictures to be taken. So they just have to tag along and look photogenic. And secondly from my own personal experience. For the past several summers we took care of our grandson ( who is now almost 5 and so close in age to Helena) who was living in Belgium for several years. Our summers consisted of kid friendly events like going to the pool, the zoo, the park, the playground preferably with water features, amusement parks with kid friendly rides and did I mention the pool ( it was his favorite thing to do as summers in Brussels are on the cool side). And if anybody would have seen us during the day they would have found a slightly dirty messy little boy with possibly ice cream or pizza stains on his clothing and not some perfectly combed and immaculaty dressed child. And when we went places we did not drag the iPad along because the activity was supposed to be fun and replace the screen time. And lastly I am soooo tired of the America arguement.
At least her little girl appears comfortable with her mom, leaning her head in towards her in every photo. If my little girl only got to see me infrequently, you would bet she would still want me to carry her.
Having said that, Kelly is the crazy manipulative biotch who has created the drama that their lives must now encompass. Thank God they have a stable Dad who looks after their best interest. 🙁
