Rutherford contended that, since California had dropped jurisdiction and New York had declined it, no American court could compel her to send her children back to Monaco. Her ex-husband believed otherwise; his lawyer lambasted her as a child abductor. She was now at a great disadvantage, and, during her next trip to Monaco, for a court hearing in the first week of September, legal pundits considered it a triumph that she was able to see her children at all.
Another Monaco court hearing, scheduled for October 26, could determine her fate. Comment boards on news Web sites bristled with insults directed at her. This dramatic chain of events began on that undramatic September morning in Three and a half years earlier, she had broken up with Venezuelan banker Carlos Tarajano.
The two had wed in June in a lavish, media-covered church wedding in Beverly Hills. She says she nursed her husband through his illness, yet, for reasons she declines to discuss, she filed for divorce in January , seven months after they were married.
There was a waitress at Il Fornaio who had been telling Rutherford, over the previous mornings, that a handsome young German businessman had glimpsed her there one day and wanted her to get in touch with him. Rutherford was sufficiently intrigued to e-mail the man.
He e-mailed her back. In , Giersch settled for an undisclosed amount from Google. Rutherford fell for Giersch and found herself pregnant within two months of their meeting. On August 18, , two months before she was to give birth to Hermes, they married. Rutherford appeared to be happy, and she was thrilled to be a mother, but those close to her wondered about her new husband. In December , when she was three months pregnant with Helena, divorce proceedings were initiated.
Giersch went further. He sued for sole legal and physical custody of Hermes and of the not-yet-born infant daughter, Helena. He retained Fahi Takesh Hallin, a partner in the prestigious L. In addition to other work, she has, on behalf of foreign fathers, effected the removal of American children from the United States in at least three other recent cases, including that of an attorney named Sarah Kurtz, who was forced to relinquish to Sweden the infant daughter she was still breast-feeding.
Rutherford has gone through nearly 10 attorneys. Rutherford was now living in New York with Hermes and working on Gossip Girl, on an intentionally limited schedule to enable maximum parenting time. He served me custody papers right up until I went into labor. Feeling vulnerable and upset, Rutherford did not want her estranged husband in the delivery room.
She says she feared that, with his name on the birth certificate, he could take Helena out of the country without her knowledge. The reason for her concern? By the time, in late , that the eventually month-long custody trial commenced in the L. Giersch now sought completely equal parenting time. Even issues of child safety were turned into exhibits of parental hostility.
During a vacation in Bermuda in May , Giersch left his children on the far side of an un-lifeguarded pool from where he was sitting; Helena, three, could not swim, and her father had not put her in water wings. In a check of published visa appeals on the U. S Homeland Security site, THR has not been able to verify that Giersch ever tried to appeal his allegedly revoked visa or obtain a new one, and his legal team did not comment to THR on the subject.
THR obtained copies of two letters from the U. State Department, one from May and second from August , saying that Giersch did not have a valid visa or any application for a visa pending. The deadline for the visa review was January 10, Unfortunately, Wallack said, Rutherford was low on money at the time after years already spent on the divorce and custody issues and did not realize she had a deadline in the visa issue.
She was representing herself briefly during that period and missed the deadline. By not complying with that deadline, says Wallack, Rutherford essentially waived her right to the visa review. Hermes and Helena have been living mainly with Giersch and his mother, with whom he reportedly is very close, in the south of France and Monaco since This mess stems from her decision.
Rutherford, who was allowed to have her kids with her in New York for the summer of according to a court ruling made in Monaco on June 22, made a risky and very public move in August. She refused to send Hermes and Helena back to Giersch as scheduled on Aug. After a brief hearing Aug. But there never has been any solid evidence presented in court or elsewhere that Rutherford was an unfit mother or had any kind of checkered past.
Rutherford exits the court of the Principality of Monaco on Sept. So who exactly is the man whose name was left off the birth certificate?
He exaggerated his achievements. My friends thought he was arrogant. I thought they were just being protective. I just fell for his charm.
