Motion to Call BULLSHIT, your Honor. If I have the means to rent, Brandon Blackstock sure as hell does too.
Brandon is such trash, he definitely trying to stick it to Kelly by squatting in her house.
Squatters rights always baffle me.
I just don’t understand it from a self defense perspective. Isn’t it a right in most states to shoot an intruder in your home?? I am not at all saying this is morally a right, just legally. I also know nothing about law so I could be way off the mark here, it just really confuses me.
Never been a fan of Brandon or his daddy
Oh, wow, that rant about Polis is a TRIP. He’s been out for at least a decade and honestly, the idea that he’s straight would be sort of laughable if it wasn’t for the ridiculous allegations of abuse and the antisemitism.
Also, Marlon Reis is a doll and has better things to do with his time than be someone’s…whatever the gay version of “beard” would even be.
Kelly just needs to sell that house. She has the money to take that loss. What a POS
Yes, just sell it out from under him.
She should sell it to a Trust or a paper company owned by her or a trusted third party.
Even if she sells it then the new owners are then on the hook for evicting the squatters. I’ve looked into it before. It can up to a year to go through the proper legal channels to get someone evicted. Often times when they leave they completely destroy the home and take copper wiring. So it’s risky for new owners too. Squatters shouldn’t have any rights at all!
Sister Wives and Big Love always have me thinking about how communal living (like a Kibbutz) is probably really great for some people. Especially if you want a big family/lots of children. It makes zero sense as a patriarchal fantasy though. No one is satisfied with the situation or getting what they thought they signed up for.
maybe because my holiday tradition is to re-watch Gilmore girls….but that scummy ex of Kelly’s looks just like Jason “Digger”..just a poor man’s version
YES! Omg that’s been bugging me for years and I couldn’t figure out why.
I wonder what happened to Trevor Noah that required him to get such a serious surgery. His lawsuit is hella dramatic, but maybe his experience was too. The article points out that Trevor does own the most superfluous of homes in CA in which to “convalesce,” but if there was some egregious malpractice, then of course, that should be expressed. The piece makes it clear that Trevor has no financial motivations to sue, so perhaps he really has seen some permanent damage to his physique. Complications happen, unfortunately. All the same, the piece shows him looking mighty healthy during recent stand up shows, so who knows? Very interesting.
I did a little googling and the surgeon he’s suing does orthopedics. So if it was a surgery that helped with mobility and went wrong I could see how there may be a lawsuit there
Takes deep breath….well, this is not as bad as that time when Elizabeth Taylor married Larry Fortensky. Not quite as bad….
Larry didn’t steal from Liz. In fact, I believe she left him something in her will. This guy is a douche!
@JRenee, I believe she left him around $825,000. From what I’ve read, they were still friends after the divorce. Kelly C. is a good person – ex husband not so much.
Anna Wintour’s dress is kind of fun and fabulous…she looks good. Though, I agree she does look a bit like Maxwell.
Should be under reply to Genevieve:
From what I read in another article, he’s suing an orthopedic Dr and a private hospital that specializes in orthopedic surgery and recovery. So the speculation is he had some kind of joint, neck, or back surgery that they screwed up badly. That would cause permanent injury and ongoing pain.
How the hell can he be allowed to stay in a house she owns?? He doesn’t have a lease or any legal right to it. I hope she challenges that decision.
Kelly should challenge the decision. I also like the idea of her selling the house to a third party. Maybe she can sell it to a person or business that would take NO BULLSHIT from their squatter. There are so many people/organizations that would have ABSOLUTELY NO TROUBLE removing the impediment ex-husband from the newly bought property. Above the table, under the table, who’s to say what would work and what is right? I’m sure that pipsqueak scum would listen to reason from the right source. Very sure.
First time commenter, long time lurker! Pure speculation, but… I wonder if all the ongoing/chronic damage he has been experiencing isn’t due to the actual procedure… I mean, yes ortho procedures can be fudged, so maybe that’s what happened. But ortho surgeries could not relieve or could potentially cause ongoing pain… maybe he was prescribed a medication (or medications) that turned his world upside down? (I’m a nurse practitioner and work in addiction medicine, and I have seen a lot of clients who have been prescribed medication/s that later – or quickly – took over their lives).
