12 celebs you NEVER knew were actually flat broke (With Pictures)

9. Kelly Rutherford

Kelly Rutherford, the actress who played the rich socialite beautiful mother of Serena on Gossip Girl, is having some financial difficulties following her divorce and messy custody battle with German businessman Ex. Kelly Rutherford filed for divorce in 2009 and got it finalized in 2010, but soon had a globe spanning custody battle with former husband over their two children. This lingering nightmare has managed to siphon over $1.5 million from Rutherford’s wallet to pay for her legal fees – and it’s still ongoing. In 2013, she filed for bankruptcy. After 6 solid years, Gossip Girl aired its last episode in 2012, and her steady $486,000/month dwindled to just a little over $1,000.
