Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford facing custody battle

It looks like things are a little difficult right now for Gossip Girl star Kelly Rutherford (Lily Bass).

Rutherford filed for divorce recently, but she and her estranged husband Daniel Giersch are now facing each other in a heated custody case.

The two attended a hearing Wednesday in Santa Monica, Calif. and will testify on Thursday, according to US Magazine. A judge will decide if Rutherford can take their son Hermes, 2, to the Gossip Girl set in New York City at least through March.

Both are alleging anger issues at each other. He alleges she once threw a laptop at him (which her rep denies, according to US Magazine). She says she’s had to call the police on him because she’s scared of him.

The judge also will make a ruling Thursday on closing the hearing to the media.

Complicating the matter is Rutherford is four months pregnant with their daughter.

Both want sole custody of Hermes, with monitored visitation.

I hope the best for Rutherford as it must be stressful dealing with this while pregnant and while filming.
