Kelly Rutherford: Obtains restraining order against husband
According to L. A. Superior Court records, Kelly Rutherford has obtained a temporary restraining order against her estranged husband Daniel Giersch, on Thursday.
Allegedly, the German businessman has begun to follow the Gossip Girl star, her mother and her nanny and shows up unexpectedly to threaten and scare them. The order is in effect for 21 days pending a court date to hear evidence.
Such allegations have been called 'fabricated accusations', by Fahi Takesh Hallin, the lawyer of Giersch. He claims that the allegations are made with an intention to harm Giersch's reputation.
He also added, "Daniel will remain focused on co-parenting both of their children and not make any personal comments in order to continue to protect the children's need for privacy and well being."
Rutherford's nanny Michaela Kothanova claimed that Giersch threatened to sue her after she refused to answer his repeated questions about Rutherford. In the documents she claims that Giersch so unnerved her during custody exchanges that she quit.
Ann Edwards, the mother of the star aleges that Giersch once appeared inside a restaurant where she was eating with his son, Hermes, two and tried to block their way out of the place. Apparently, he also showed up in a store the following day where Rutherford, Edwards and Hermes happened to be.
A lawyer for Rutherford was not available for comment.
The estranged couple have been locked in an ongoing custody battle over their son and daughter Helena, three months. A hearing is due on October 15. |
