9 Celebrity Custody Battles That Turned Ugly

9. Daniel Giersch and Kelly Rutherford Still Can’t Agree

Like Usher and Tameka, Daniel and Kelly spent more time in court fighting than in wedlock. In fact, she filed for divorce while she was still pregnant with their second son. Their battle escalated to the point where Kelly sought a restraining order against her European ex. She may have even played a role in having him deported. The move backfired, though. Despite a 50/50 custody settlement, a judge has ruled that the children should primarily live with their father overseas as he is unable to enter the US to visit them. Not surprisingly, the Gossip Girl and Melrose Place actress wants to fight back, but she recently declared bankruptcy due to all these legal proceedings. This sad situation sounds like a plot from her television dramas.
