Gossip Girl star Kelly Rutherford is being punished by the gods for naming her child Hermes. She’s filed paperwork to bar her estranged husband, David Giersch, from leaving the country with their two-year-old son, Hermes, for fear she’ll never see him again. He, in return, is alleging that she was violent and once threw a laptop at him. I am alleging that perhaps this kid would be best if kidnapped and raised in the People’s Republic of Congo, or anywhere else where the majority of the populace hasn’t heard of Hermes or, for that matter, herpes.
Estranged husband David Giersch countered in L.A. Superior Court with papers alleging the actress, who’s four months pregnant with their second child, has a bad temper, once throwing a laptop at him and another time trying to sock him with her fist.
Rutherford, 40, filed for divorce from Giersch, an entrepreneur, last month after being married a little over two years, seeking sole physical custody with monitored visitation. On the same day, Giersch filed for legal separation, seeking sole legal and physical custody with visitation for her.
In emergency papers filed Jan. 9, Rutherford sought to bar Giersch, 34, from traveling outside the United States with their son Hermes.
“I feel there is some risk that he will leave the country with Hermes and I will not know where they are,” Rutherford said in a declaration, adding that during their marriage, he told her of a pending investigation in his native Germany that could lead to his arrest.
Oh, and did I mention that Kelly is four months pregnant with another kid?
If you’d just named the first one “Tom” or “Mark” or “Steve,” none of this would be happening.
Herpes is going to have a hell of a time in school. Poor kid.
Why don’t these Celebs realize that giving their kids a weird name is setting them up for a life of being picked on for having famous parents, AND a weird name?
For the same reason they get DUIs rather than just paying for a cab. IDIOTS!
I can’t wait til a bunch of adults with names like Apple and Homer are running around.
first gossip girl turns into a modernized soap, and now rutherford’s life is slowing evolving into one!
what a mess
back in my day before the internet, kids wouldn’t have really known about std’s until like 6th grade. they’d quote beckett baseball card guide on a bo jackson rookie card, then call this kid herpes.
now, he’d get it making a macaroni necklace in preschool
uhuh, People’s Republic of Congo would be a perfect place to raise a child right now.
Seriously Beet, don’t you read the news ?
it may not be a bad idea; if you ditch your kid in africa maybe angelina or madonna will grab your kid and they might actually end up on easy street
LOL @ Herpes :D He is forever known as that.
Betterwithketchup, dear.. it was a joke :P
That guy looks creepy, she looks like a housewife.. kid looks freaky.
and why the heck is this reported on?
Dmarie, sweetie, ever heard of sarcasm?
look at this picture, this woman is holding her grandson, and standing next to her son. this old woman is probably upset because she knows she can’t have another kid
We’re not asking ourselves what he did to deserve having the laptop thrown at him. Those things are expensive so he must have really had it coming.
She’s so afraid that he’s gonna take their kid that she’s pregnant with another one. Right, I call BS.
Does anyone remember the story about how she cannot give up breast feeding the tot who is now, what, 2 with a full set of teeth. The chick is crizazy!
wasnt there a story out about her recently saying she was addicted to breast feeding her son because it helped her loose weight.
Im sure that didnt help the marriage strains much.
Honey can you get yer boobie out of Hermes face? Its a baby not a dexetrim.
her ex husband looks like he is 12 years old !!!
i believe the WHO recommends breastfeeding until about 2 years old, so that doesn’t seem odd. but i recently saw something about a woman in england who was still breastfeeding her 6 year old. the video of the girl laying across the mother’s lap (and taking up half the sofa) was uber-creepy!
I SAW THAT!!!!!!!
She was eight years old and her mommy had to tell her ” Now no monkey business”
LIKE WHAT did that mean? Ewwwwwwwwwwwww
My mom always said to stop when the baby starts biting the crap out of your nipple. Before you laugh she said it was because it is very bad for the baby suck your blood.
Wow that came out allkinds of wrong but you get what i mean :)
Wow! Such a bummer…I’ve had a crush on her since the 90’s, too. Too bad she seems so off-base. Of all of the Greek gods you could name your kid after, why do you have to pick the one that sounds so very much like a social disease?! Gads! If this kids smart, once he is able, he should go to court to have his name legally changed to “Myphillis” or something a bit more subtle.
