Kelly Rutherford Didn't Tell Daniel Giersch Of Birth

OMG!!!!!!! Now this I cannot believe. You'd think that no matter how much ill will between two people, a woman would want the father of her child at the birth, right?!? Not so, says Daniel Giersch. He found out about Kelly Rutherford's labor and successful delivery just like the rest of us -- online.
He says,
"Media reports claiming that I neglected to attend my daughter's birth
are total lies and fabrication," Giersch says in a statement. "I was
never informed by Kelly about the birth of our daughter, nor was I
invited to attend. In fact, I found out about it through Internet
reports like everyone else. Although this sickens me, I am of course
overjoyed that our baby was born healthy. I would've wanted nothing
more than to hold our newborn daughter for a few moments, and I only
seek to coparent both our children responsibly and with love."
Aaaaaaand she says,
The doctors advised that no one be in the birthing room; [Daniel] was
notified when [Helena] was born and was immediately invited to come see
her."
UGH. What a MESS.
PS. In case you're wondering, they named the little girl Helena. Wonder who picked the name. :)

From everything I have read, it seems the judge is too lenient on Ms. Rutherford. The boy is 2 1/2, it is time for potty training, and though I do belive in breastfeeding, 2 1/2 is a little old for it, especially since she has another child. Hermes is going to be very jealous and will most likely not take it too well.
It is going to be VERY difficult to keep up with the demand of working long hours, dieting to get your figure back for the small screen, and trying to breast feed an infant and a 2 1/2 yr old.
2 1/2 and still in diapers? What is that judge thinking!
As for her being so spiteful as to not let her ex know she was delivering, that is a terrible shame. Shame on her!
you sound like the most judgmental person. Let mothers do what they want when it comes to raising their own children and butt out. And the judge needs to butt out too. Since when should ajudge interfere in a parent's decision as when to potty train their kid. Shame on both of you.
Excuse me, but the FATHER of these children deserve to have his say as well!
Uh, honey, your original comment said NOTHING about the father. COme on...wisen up.
This story is about the father too, the original poster did mention the father at the end of her post. Regardless, this is about a father's rights. I'm a female and I don't support other women just because we are females. If a woman is wrong, she is wrong. There are so many women who hurt and alienate the fathers because they are just angry bitter bitches. I hope he gets a really good lawyer and takes Kelly for a ride. Too bad the kids are in the middle.
You are oblivious to the case then. The judge told the father he can't potty train anymore and part of the divorce issue was over Hermes still being breatfed, so you WISEN UP, you oaf!
She is not the only parent involved therefore she does not get to make all the decisions on her own.
Vera, please stop thinking that everyone is like you. they are not. grow up!!!
What are you talking about?
Why would ANYONE want someone in the birthing room that harbors ill will towards them? Giving birth is stressful enough! Watching your child be born doesn't make you a parent, so whats the big deal? There are many times that the co-parent CAN NOT be in the delivery room.
Sounds like a bunch of he said, she said. If she sent a text or email then there will be proof. The lady gave birth in LA, not NY like she could have! Enough said.
Come on, TOM BRADY WASN'T IN THE DELIVERY ROOM?!
He didn't have to be in the birthing room, but he should have been told, and been told in time to be there, in the waiting room, to make sure HIS baby was ok.
I agree, the person above you is totally wrong.
Phaq, stop reposting as "anonymous" just to make it sound like someone agrees with you. It's pathetic.
Actually I agreed with Phaq...it was me Gee Gee.. The other poster is not agreeing with their post. I know is hard for you to believe, but other people share the same opinions sometimes.
I don't post as anonymous, you are pathetic for even bringing it up! So more then one woman thinks this woman is a pice of crap, what is your problem? You think all women should stand behind one another? I certianly hope not! I don't stand behind women who use their children to spite their exs, which seems to happen way too much!
And why are you posting anonymously? Huh? Are you afraid to leave a handle? I bet you are one of those evil women who do the same exact thing! I am so glad that my friends are men, or are other women who are more level headed then the stereotypical crazy female like you and Ms. Rutherford!
Settle down, phuq. THis is supposed to be a fun site.
Sorry, I typed phaq (your handle) but mistyped the "a" with a "u" and it bleeped the whole thing out. But seriously though, settle down.
And what the hell does Tom Brady have to do with Mr. Giersch not being there? They are not the same person, nor do they share the same hisotry with their ex's, like another child!

I can absolutely imagine not wanting the father at the actual birth if there were hard feelings/drama/etc.
He didn't ask to be at the birth just to be notified so that he could see his child once she was born.

That's effed up. Obviously you love someone enough to start a family with them, so have a little respect. Unless he was beating you senseless, there is no excuse for excluding him from the birth. It's not an "experience," it's bringing a life -- that TWO people created -- into the world. He had every right to be there.
I love the name Helena, but unlike Kelly (who I'm sure chose the name), I have an "H" kid already and giving kids the same initials annoys the hell out of me.
Ok, Helena, I am relieved that she's got a greek theme going on here and that she didn't name her son after her favorite over-priced, like-5-alligators-had-to-die-for-me handbag. Seriously- does she own another purse? Anyway, do I think it was messed up that the father wasn't allowed in the birthing room? No, not really- if I hated someone so much that I thought they were too incompetent to potty train my child- I don't think I would want that animosity in the room while trying to give birth! However, if it is true that nobody contacted him when the baby had been born, that is terribly selfish.
People always tend to blame men in situations involving children but I know some mothers who purposely alienate the father of their children. That baby is his child too, not just hers. The truth is she is not punishing him, she is actually punishing the baby who has no part in this problem.

Ok, it's one thing not wanting your ex-husband in the birthing room - that's understandable, especially if the relationship is that toxic. However, to NOT let him know that she's giving birth and to find out about the birth of your daughter on the internet is downright disrespectful. And then to publicly feud about it... Please, what couldn't they have kept this to themselves. Do we ALL need to know about it??
Shouldn't you end any post about Kelly Rutherford with an xoxo?

Wow that is an awful thing to do.
Visit my fashion blog!
This bitch is going to mess up her kids, more Hollywod kids in rehab. I can understand her not wanting the father in the delivery room, but not telling him about the delivery is low.

Some people should not breed.
These two make me sick.
I don't know which one of them needs to get a grip and grow up more, but I get the impression it's her.
I'm sorry for those children.
she is a B-I-T-C-H with a capital 'B'.....can't stand her!

don't think it was wrong not to have him in the delivery room, but not to tell a father that he became one is spitful and disrespectful.
