Kelly Rutherford went on Good Morning America this morning to defend herself against claims by ex Daniel Giersch that she has abducted their children following her refusal to send them back to their father (as per court ordered custody agreement).
GMA Interview:
*Says protecting her children is her first priority
*Says her children want to stay with her
*Claims children need both parents (?????)
*“It put me, as a parent, in an odd place because if nobody’s taking jurisdiction, how do you put your children on a plane to a foreign country not knowing what’s going to happen?”
*Lawyer claims that the children are telling them "alarming" things about the father's treatment (Please note to people new to this: she has lied multiple times about this under oath.) The lawyer will not tell media what those "alarming" things are.
*She has been ordered to court tomorrow WITH her children
*Kelly is allegedly hoping to force the State Department to get involved
*Lawyer describes Giersch as making "cruel threats and derogatory remarks" (about him saying Rutherford has abducted the children as far as I can see)
*Quote: "Mr. Giersch purports to be interested in co-parenting but his actions belie a different agenda."
