Keeley is going to murder the bitch. She is an actress. What a ******* liberty. Emily ****head Moore.

Keeley was also given a restraining order banning her from contacting Emily in any way, already had 2 previous convictions for bullying Emily Moore. In 2005 she assaulted the victim on the way home and was subsequently expelled from school. Two years later, in 2007, she was convicted after she kicked the door at Emily’s parents home in.

    No chance of rehab for Kelly..She should be sentenced to life without parole..to keep her contaminated, defective genes from being unsupervised. Her kind of defect does not even have a chance in a civilized world. Maybe, Somalia, would suit her better. Sorry prognosis for human, defective, genes..not too promising.
