Meet Kelsey Kay, she is the beautiful young Idaho girl who met Rafaelle Sollecito online, met in person when he flew to the U.S to meet and asked her to marry him a sort of a marriage-for-citizenship arrangement., so he could avoid jail time in Italy for Meredith Kercher’s murder.
Kelsey Kay sat down with Radar Online in an exclusive interview where she told them about meeting , after she found him on Facebook..
“I had looked him up on the Internet after reading his book and I was interested in his case, so I was looking for updates and I found his verified Facebook off a GoFundMe page he made,” Kay tells Radar. “Once I sent him the friend request, he almost immediately accepted it and then he sent me a private message.”
“I remember I told him that I was one of his supporters and I had been praying for him and his innocence and his case. In the beginning, he made me feel very at ease,” she explains. “We talked about everything and he was very gentle, very kind. He made me feel very comfortable with him.”
“Raffaele brought up the idea of us meeting the very first day I talked to him,” she claims. “He called and he brought up meeting and actually made a joke about marrying a U.S. citizen and being able to stay in the country.”
“In a sense, Raffaele never got down on one knee and proposed that I marry him,” she says. “He brought it up on the phone to me and over Skype — and once he got here, it was like we were already engaged. He introduced me to his banker as his fiancée and it just became a natural thing for him to say.”
“When he proposed that I help him, in a way I felt obligated,” she explains. “…If it was me, I would expect someone to do the same maybe.”
“I developed feelings for him pretty quickly,” Kay confesses. “It was a spin-off romance. It was quick. He was just very genuine with me. Thoughtful. He was kind, wanted to pay for everything. I [fell] for him pretty quickly.”
“Raffaele had been in Seattle in March visiting with Amanda,” Kay reveals. “Initially, we had decided that it wouldn’t be best … for me to say we had met the way we had met online in July. His wheels started turning and he had asked me to find a time in March … sometime [when] he was visiting Amanda in Seattle that maybe I could have been unaccounted for. So I was instructed to tell people [who asked] when we met that I had met him in March in Seattle at a bar called Montana, and that our romance had started there
“The first thing I read in the contract was that I was to stay married to Raffaele for a period of three years,” she says. “It was extremely specific. That didn’t alert me till a few hours later when I contacted a lawyer myself and I found out that that’s the typical amount of time it takes to become a U.S. citizen.”
“Also in the contract were clauses about who I could speak to and what I could say to my friends and family,” Kay continues. “There were things about wearing sunglasses when I left my apartment in case a media person was waiting outside. There was a part [about how] if I was to divorce him, I was to pay him $20,000, which immediately made me uncomfortable because in the clause, it stated, ‘If I were to embarrass Raffaele by divorcing him.’”

Go ahead and try and pin this on Amanda and Crazy Raff.I dare you.
After all,they can’t remember anything after one goddam joint,you know how evil that herb is.And all those eyewitnesses? They’re crazy and anyway were paid by police to stitch up the amorous duo.
And the fact that none of their cell phone,computer records and flatmate impressions indicate anything like total innocence? That’s all a part of an elaborate and vast conspiracy by the Eye-talians to pin this crime on perfectly innocent churchmice.
Watch,this silly gal from redneck country will be outed as an agent provocateur hired by Mignini to make the brilliant comic book reading,knife collecting drug fiend look like a loopy liar.You’ll see,
Plus,my pal DENVER assured me of all of this and that guy is NEVER WRONG!!!!!
Plus,Meredith Kercher’s blood was only on that knife because Saint Raffaele accidentally cut her finger a few days before the murder.Even he said so.
And don’t start in again with that nonsense about Ms. Knox hyperventilating when detectives walked her through the cottage and opened the kitchen knife drawer.You KNOW she gets nervous every time she’s around sharp objects.Bad memories and all.

Kelsey Kay is a sick little stalker, who clearly suggested the idea of an ‘arranged’ marriage to Raffaele and not the other way around. But her plan was to make him fall in love with her, and when that didn’t happen (because, let’s face it- what is there TO love??), she got into a hissy and used him for her own little stab at fame.
She does not even look like her photos here, or anywhere else. Her images in the video show an irregular face, that looks scarily as if it’s had a fair degree of plastic surgery, giving her an alien look, and she tries to show this ‘slim’ frame, but if you look at her legs in the photos with Raffaele, it’s clear that she has legs like pylons, and that she is not the body frame she tries to promote.
She’s just another vain little girl, who manipulates lighting and photos etc… to create a far more glamorous and pretty image than what is her reality.
When seeing her interviewed, she comes across as severely mentally ill, narcissistic and strange to look at.
All this would be sad, if she weren’t also DANGEROUS to other people, because she is making Raffaele pay for her insane jealousy and her refusal to believe that someone just does not love her. So what? Her behaviour would make her impossible for any man to love. And as for that plastic surgery… YUCK YUCK YUCK

Look at Kelsey Kay’s FAT legs in the photo with Raffale. Lol,. I think this girl has also had plastic surgery and that was the real reason she was in hospital. She strikes me as a really unstable, scary stalker who just couldn’t accept that some man didn’t love her. She has fake photos too- She doesn’t look like her social media photos in the radar online videos. She looks quite odd in fact. Just another stupid little narcissistic girl trying to get her fifteen minutes of fame- but this one is dangerous, because she doesn’t care that her victim is in a terrible life situation.

Rather than focus on this, read up about the truth in this case. http://murderofmeredithkercher.com/

Kelsey Kay is a narcissistic nut-case. There’s no evidence, in any of her emails with Raffaele, that he lied to her, or led her on. She’s all over ‘twitter’, siding with the Australian girl, Veronica Drake- who never even MET Raffaele, but somehow thought he owed her some kind of loyalty, just because of a few Facebook messages!
These young women are really NUTS. They claim that Raffaele ‘doesn’t affect them’, but spend most of their lives online talking about him! – Or getting involved with other posters who either do or don’t support them, regarding the whole Raffale thing.
Kelsey Kay posts pictures of herself with her daughter – and even in these photos- Kelsey’s ENTIRE focus is on herself and not her child. I’m not saying she’s not a good mother. I’m sure she is. BUT, she’s all about showing the world how beautiful KELSEY is… And her photos are over-glamourised, and don’t look anything like the woman in the videos. She just uses a whole lot of white light in her ‘selfless’ to try and make herself look far more beautiful than she actually is. She’s an averagely attractive girl, but nothing special. Pretty much anyone can make themselves look like a model these days- with the right kind of lighting etc…
She strikes me as extremely unbalanced, and very nasty, and also as a fantasist, and someone who (like VEronica) is prone to fantasy and exaggeration.
There are lots of comments on the net from other people saying that they knew Kelsey Kay and she lied about having seriousness illnesses. Sure- she may have had one- an infection that spread into her blood, but that’s quite common, and usually going on a drip in hospital, saves the patient.
BUT-Kelsey has supposedly had more than one ‘life’ threatening’ illness, and she just struck me (on the videos) as being a massive attention seeker, and someone with serious mental health problems.
