Kelly Rutherford

Kelly Rutherford has been ordered to return her children to their father immediately by an irate judge in New York, after she failed to fly them back to Monaco last week as previously agreed.

TMZ reported that the former ‘Gossip Girl’ actress appeared in court in New York on Tuesday (August 11th) after she had decided to keep her two children, Hermes (8) and Helena (6), in America last Friday, thus breaking an agreement to return them to her ex-husband Daniel Giersch after they had spent three months this summer with Rutherford in the States.
