Kelly Rutherford Brings The Melodrama In A Statement About Her Kids Being Sent Back To Monaco

I feel like every time I write about this disaster of a case, I have to repeat the history of it for those of you who don’t know. Well, if you don’t know and care, you can read an easy-to-read and pretty comprehensive rundown of the case at Jezebel, or just watch a car crash compilation video on YouTube since that pretty much sums it up.

Yesterday, Manhattan court judge Ellen Frances Gesmer ordered for Kelly Rutherford’s kids to be put on a plane back to Monaco to be with their father Daniel Giersch. Kelly’s children were staying with her in NYC for the summer and she was supposed to return them to Europe last week. She didn’t, so she was dragged into a Manhattan courtroom where Judge Ellen refused to hear anything she had to say and turned the children over to Daniel’s mother who took them back home to Monaco. Daniel’s lawyer said that the entire scene was calm and civil. Daniel’s lawyer claims that the children, Hermes and Helena, kissed their mom goodbye before joining their memaw.

But in a statement she released today, Kelly makes it sound like her kids were screaming and crying as police officers tasered them, handcuffed them and threw them into a paddy wagon. Kelly says that Judge Ellen basically arrested her kids and that the judge is the one who should be put into handcuffs for committing child abuse. Kelly says that it was the cruelest act against a child she’s ever seen. I guess Kelly doesn’t know that Pete Wentz named his kid Saint Lazslo, because that’s a real cruel act against an innocent child.

While writing her statement, Kelly brought the drama right out of the gate:

An AMERICAN CITIZEN In Cuffs: Part 4

TMZ just keeps the dash cam hits coming and here’s the grand finale (I think) of Reese Witherspoon, AN AMERICAN CITIZEN!!!, getting arrested by a cop while saying whatever she wants to on free ground, because she’s AN AMERICAN CITIZEN!!!

The clip starts out with Reese telling the officer that her name is Reese Witherspoon and this is about to be national news. My favorite part is when she goes, “Absolutely, you told me not to get out of the car and I said, to you ‘I DIS.AGREE.’” If my drunk ass got out of a car and sassed an officer like that, I’d be eating the ground he has jurisdiction over.

Reese then gets into the back of the cop car and her drunk driving husband Jim Toth manages to be the voice of reason. Jim tells her that she’s making it worse and she just needs to stop. Shut up, Jim! You don’t have jurisdiction over Reese’s vocal cords and she’s an American citizen who can say whatever she wants on free ground! Besides if Reese did shut up, she wouldn’t have barfed out ridiculous shit nugget after ridiculous shit nugget and made my week complete.
