........... Since the Kelleys have been in Tampa, records show, one or both have been subjects of lawsuits nine times — including an $11,000 judgment against them that originated in Pennsylvania.
Ongoing cases, the court records show, include an indebtedness case from Chase Bank; a foreclosure case from Regions Bank; and a credit card case from FIA Card Services.
Not long after the couple arrived in Tampa, Jill Kelley and her identical twin sister, Natalie Khawam, appeared for a taping of the Food Network's reality show, Food Fight.
The segment featured sibling rivalry, with the twins cooking off against two brothers.
A food show, though, was not out of the realm for the sisters.
Growing up in Philadelphia, the sisters were among four children of a couple who had immigrated from Jounieh, Lebanon, in the mid 1970s. The family owned a Middle Eastern restaurant in Philadelphia called Sahara.
The year after the sisters appeared for the show's taping, the Kelleys moved in the Bayshore Boulevard home they had bought for about $1.5 million, property records show.
....... As news of her role in the Petraeus scandal broke Sunday, Jill Kelley was throwing a birthday party for one of her daughters. A media crush waited at the curb. A sole local TV crew remained Monday morning.
By then, the Kelleys had turned to national experts for help.
They hired Abbe Lowell, a Washington lawyer who has represented clients such as former presidential candidate John Edwards and lobbyist Jack Abramoff. And the couple are employing crisis PR person Judy Smith, who has represented big names like Monica Lewinsky, Michael Vick and Kobe Bryant.

I read somewhere that there was $64 million at the Benghazi CIA place. Never could find that info again, though.
What does it say that someone with a record like Kelley's (Mid East, financial trouble, lawsuits, beautiful x 2) gets to have this type of association with that large a number of military officers with very high security clearances in a social setting with alcohol? Where is the Intel community on this? Red lights should have been going off on a number of levels. Makes you wonder if Ms. Broadwell was not sending email warnings of a different nature than “stay away from my guy.” Maybe she got wind of something much more insidious going on.
I feel as though my heart is being torn apart.
Apparently you didn't.
Yep. I missed it on the first pass.
We have a duty to be strong and to survive, no matter how heartbroken we are.
Your post summarizes the essence of Americanism.
LOL
Absolutely. Duty must be served no matter what. That determination is so lacking in those in public life. So called.
Thank you.
General demoted for lavish travel, spending
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has demoted the former head of U.S. Africa Command who was accused of spending thousands of dollars on lavish travel and other unauthorized expenses, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday.
Panetta stripped Gen. William ‘‘Kip’’ Ward of a star, which means that he will now retire as a three-star lieutenant general despite arguments from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff against the demotion.
