She is an unproblematic celebrity with a wholesome backstory (she got famous by winning a talent competition, not making a naughty video.) Anonymous strangers on the internet feel sad that a bad thing has happened to a person who for the most part seems good and decent. It's not that complicated or weird.

Her children’s father died. I would expect any decent parent would be supporting their own children through that. I don’t get how she is a saint or dealing with this with grace and love or being ascribed all these wonderful words. She hated the man and made angry name calling songs about him. She wanted her kids and the public to hate him for taking alimony, child support, and a house that he was legally entitled to as many believe those are only for women and men are wrong to ever accept them. She wrote song lyrics saying that. I don’t see any grace at all.

She left her hit talk show and canceled concert dates to take care of him and their kids. She never explained why, probably because Brandon asked her not to talk about it. And the public was pretty irritated at her and directorate she was having a breakdown and/or using drugs. But really she was just trying to help and honor a dying man's wishes

How do you know this? That she was taking care of him and trying to help and honour his wishes? Where did you get that information from?

It's obvious. In fact she kept silent while she took unusual/unexplained breaks from her show and she canceled an existing Las Vegas residency. A lot of people were guessing what was up with her. Not a single person guessed that the father of her children was dying. Had she said that, she'd have gotten a lot of understanding and sympathy.

Oh so you made it up. Thought so. Not disclosing an ex husband you hates medical condition doesn’t mean you helped care for him or honoured his wishes. Maybe they hadn’t even told her about it until the end. We don’t know any facts but making them up means nothing.

Clearly she had no warm feelings for him but I don’t think she hated him, at least not at this point in her life. I suspect he knew the end was near and he wanted to see his kids. Depending on how weak he looked or strength, she felt she need to be there for her kids. They probably didn’t even tell the kids until a few months ago.

She was singing F U about him a year after his diagnosis so I am pretty sure the hate was still there.

Her songs weren’t F U. But he made not have told her until recently, maybe when he/they told the kids. Obviously he didn’t want anyone to know until the near end.

I agree that the songs were not FU but it’s wild to think she didn’t know about the diagnosis. You really think he kept that from his two young children? The entire family has known he’s been undergoing treatment for several years. Of course she knew! You think he was just like yeah I can’t take the kids this week not feeling well and didn’t tell her why?

He cheated on her all the time and when he stopped being discreet, she filed for divorce. From an blog no longer in service.

Then he tried to take a lot of money from her during the divorce. Tried to get her ranch in Montana. She now has a recording studio there where she made her last single Where Have You Been.

The divorce was finalized in 2022 while he was fighting for custody. Supposedly found out about that time of his diagnosis. Of course he didn’t tell her. “I am going to die soon so give me full custody!” Courts would never agree to him getting full custody knowing in a few years they would go back to Kelly.

I was surprised he wanted the ranch and told the court he was going to work it full time. Was Kelly his only client?

No, he had Blake Shelton.

That’s her decision, though. It isn’t an obligation after a divorce.

Her children are step siblings to the children from his previous marriage, so that is another level of tie, of course.

Feels complicated. Sounds like she has handled things with grace, though.

Half siblings not step. Step = unrelated.

I can relate. My son's Dad is a complete dirtbag. He is the child of an alcoholic and abusive Mother that has perpetuated the abuse throughout his kids and girlfriends kids. I NEVER said a bad word to my kid. What's the point? He knows his Dad sucks. As he's gotten older I've had to advocate to keep him from running away from Dad's house. So I'm totally that person that absolutely hates my ex and, yet, here I am cleaning up his emotional sh*t.

Her song was actually FU. The lyrics she sang were F (full word) you and your dad and the fact that you took half, I took my broken heart and turned that SH into art. FU and your view from the valley I bought you, take your broke azz heart, you can all F off.

He bought a small ranch and I guess she felt it was with her alimony money. She sang this in aug 2023. Many recordings of it on YouTube. There were other versus too.

Rumor blogs and posts said he cheated. I don’t believe all those rumour mills - they say stuff about everyone. There were also lots of rumours that Kelly was drinking a lot. That’s how they make money.

And many people have gotten a house and alimony in divorces. It’s not that uncommon.

It wouldn't surprise me, but is this confirmed or one of those fake stories that get repeated enough people are sure it must be true? I thought the acrimonious divorce was because he saw her as his personal ATM and cash cow.

If the wife was screwing the whole industry and cheating her DH out of $$ through illegal mgt of his business empire- then of course!! Not everything is about bashing men! This guy was an uber creep.

THIS! He (and his father) are total grifters. He was going to become a rancher in MT to continue to live off of her. There is a reason why she when in fighting and then worked out a deal. She is a good, kind person who knew his time was limited so did what was best for her kids. On the other hand he stole from his wife and the mother of his children with shady business practices.

Even Blake Shelton decided to be on Team Kelly.
