Jill Kelley, honorary consul
From Jill Dougherty, CNN Foreign Affairs Correspondent
In a 911 call, aspiring socialite Jill Kelley demands that police in Tampa, Florida, help remove people from her property, describing herself as an “honorary consul general.”
"I am an honorary consul general,” the 911 recording says. “… I have inviolability. They should not be on my property. I don't know if you want to get diplomatic, uh, protection involved as well. It's against the law to cross my property …"
Kelley, it turns out, is an “honorary consul” for the South Korean government, according to the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The official South Korean news agency Yonhap reports that Kelley had "good connections and network and a willingness to develop Korea-U.S. relations, including the free trade agreement between the two nations."
South Korean officials tell CNN that “an honorary consul can generally play a role of promoting trade and economic cooperation between the two countries.”
South Korean Presidential Decree No. 23706 describes the duties as anything from “work(ing) to protect Korean national/resident living abroad” to “promoting interacting of trade, economy, art, science and education.”
The honorary post, however, has no official responsibilities, in spite of Kelley’s attempts to invoke “inviolability.” Yonhap cites a South Korean official as saying that “she will be relieved from the symbolic post if she is found to be problematic.”
Cho Tae-yong, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, tells CNN: “Nothing is decided. We are currently observing the situation closely.”
Kelley also had “honorary consul” license plates on her car. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles tells CNN that she has the plates because she is an “honorary consulate.”
But the State Department and the Defense Department stress that Kelley has no official job with the U.S. government. She was strictly a volunteer.
Jennifer Clinton, president of the National Council for International Visitors, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., tells CNN: “From what I understand, she was a volunteer to our member organization in Tampa.”
“What the volunteers do typically is host some of the international visitors for dinner, or they’ll speak to them and provide information about the local community,” she said.
The council specializes in “citizen diplomacy,” which builds “person-to-person relationships ‘one handshake at a time.’ ” The council, in turn, helps implement international visitor programs for the State Department.
But such a “citizen diplomat” designation carries no legal or diplomatic privileges, even if Kelley tried to give that impression.
Kelley was also given the title of “honorary ambassador” by the U.S. Central Command, according to a defense official. The title is, “meaningless” and holds no power and is given for recognition of specific work, according the official.
The title is nothing more than a certificate given by CENTCOM’s Coalition Coordination Center, a group of military representatives from different countries which are working with the United States on terrorism issues. That group, led by a low-level U.S. military officer, recommended Kelley for the title. It is unclear when she was given this title. As a honorary ambassador, Kelley would have duties such as organizing and facilitating unclassified briefings for community leaders to help them better understand the work of the U.S. Central Command and its allies, according to the official.
In a different role, Kelley also hosted many events off-base to honor members of the military and was hosting one when her name became public for her role in the Petraeus scandal, the official said. At that event, Vice Admiral Robert Harward, CENTCOM’s Deputy Commander had stopped by briefly as a guest, according to the official.

"Bored, socialite", "liasion", "party planner", "honorary consul general", "seductress."
I can think of a more apt description.
garden tool
when she pulled down his zipper did she find a weapon of mass destruction
Yah, it exploded in her face!
Jill Kelly and her husband own nothing anymore.
The dresses she wore in recent pictures are probably made by her mother.
The rock on her finger is a $ 10.00 fake made in Lebanon.
The Mercedes she is driving is leased.
She must be hurting now to have revealed her complains to the shirtless FBI dude...
If I had an erection for more than 4 hours, would I need to go see the "honorary consul"? Hahahahahahahahah
Full of it...full of herself....piece of work
well actually shes usually full of someone else
Lots of chuckles here. I'm surpirsed no one took on her nose job.
She looks Hispanic but I saw on the Internet that she is from Lebanon. Would that make her Arab?
Yes of course!
Lots of chuckles here. I'm surprised not one mentioned her nose job.
Now that you mention it she looks like an angry dragon
Wow, talk about self-importance. Guess it's all about her.
Great, so since she works for S. Korea she doesn't need to be in America. Give her the boot.
We have a full blown ongoing and moderately successful war on terror ongoing with no end in sight. We have some capable military and intelligence people basically keeping on top of things. And the whole thing blows up because some bimbos get into snit fights over who is more socially or politically connected to the big shots. And al quaeda and its friends are probably laughing all the way to their next suicide mission. Get real, get America's priorities straight.
couldnt agree more !!!
this belongs into the housewifes of whatever category. These ladies are behaving worse than a 16 year old high school kid. sad enough that there behaviour has implications for the top of line us generals and even more the soldiers in the field...!!!
Is she Mexican? Middle Eastern? I can't figure it out.
Floridian
Floridian or fellatian
She is Lebanese which makes her irresistible.
<<<< not into sloppy 2000ths
Another article says her family is from Lebanon.
Lebanese!!!
Lebanese, her family left Lebanon in the seventies, during the countries civil war.
Which civil war? That part of the world has been fighting since Moses left Egypt.
Since she is a member of the high consul they should put up yellow crime scene tape all around her house to keep the media from trampling her grass and taking pictures of her through her open windows with the shades all the way up
Where do you apply for an "honorary consul" job that pays nothing? Or should I just wait for Larry Flynt to make a movie and explain it to me?
I watch Homeland and a lot of terror activity goes on in Beirut. They should send her back there immediately before she can do more damage!
yeah send her back with a years supply of mouthwash
She seems to have a lot more teeth than the average person.
im sure a certain general or generals know
Heard she got a call from Larry Flynt already. Maybe she can get enough money to pay next months rent.
She's like a political version of Kim Kardasian. Pathetic.
Can she give out traffic tickets?
Shes gross the husband looks like Jabba the Hut
shes a spy from bukkake
Come on who dresses like that to go out, she loves the cameras being on her! The husband might be a doctor but what a dope
She clearly loves the attention.
I have intel that she is also working for Israeli intelligence not just the South Korean government!
Is that all you got Jill? Well I'm........I'm.........Double Secret Honorary Consul from Double Secret Country. Wanna hook up? Hahahahahahahha
question when the general pulled down his pants was it shock an awe ?
Dont this lady have 3 kids under 6???? Who has time for flirty emailing and phone calls, I only have 2 and I can barely have a pee in peace
Million dollar home with a minimum wage nanny.
honorary council? ROFL
Well maybe she councils private members.
"members" being the operative word
I concur with the observation of my most remote male ancestor that women are really hard to figure out.
I sure do like them though.
Mata Hari comes to mind, but of course, there was no breach of security... if you don't include being boobed up against at least two high ranking generals on a base where you have absolutely NO business.
We all know men are weak and stupid but now these women are giving the rest of us a bad name.
When I was in the military (25 yrs ago) I won the barracks room of the month award.
Therefore: I invoke diplomatic immunity!
Hahaha I was in the military and I won a dart game!! I want a diplomatic license plate too!
Hahaha I was in the military and I won a dart game!! I want a diplomatic license plate too!!!!!
I wasn't in the military but I played army when I was a kid.
I had G.I Joe toys, can I get a fancy sounding license plate?
Who paid for her b00bs? Hubby or one of the boyfriends??
The husband must be so honored to foot the bill for this diplomat!! Is he a Dr. Consul too
This lady is a psycho, harlot, criminal.
This dame has a gorgeous asset !
two of 'em, actually
Too big around the middle. She should run with her buddy Petraeus and work off the fat.
Groupies are groupies. Only difference here is that unlike professional athletes, military brass think the women really dig them! These two (Patreaus & Allen) are an embarrassment, what a couple of teenagers!!!!!
Groupies? Look closely at Breadwell. She is a dominatrix. Petraeus is a little nerd with silly ribbons all over him, she must have had him roped and tied.
Shes only 37?? She looks about 50, ridden hard and left out wet I guess
Now that you brought it up. Yeah, she looks way older than 37. Look, I'm older than her, and yes au natural, no nip & tug nor injection of any kind (I'm afraid of needles), but I still get carded everytime I go to the casino or buy alcohol for hot toddy in the winter, which I do buy once a year since I usually have a cold in December & that Night quill fails to work its magic on me. The liquor shop usually makes about $2.79 out of me. I don't drink, smoke, nor do any drugs, so I guess that help with the aging process. Then again, genes probably have lots to do with it too. My mother is 79 but she looks as if she is in her 60s.
She looks hot and crazy.
This stinks to the high heavens!!! Let me get this straight, as a tax paying citizen of this country, I can contact the FBI about harrassing emails and expect this type of thorough investigation. Hold off Obama, I'm a middle-class citizen who is willing to pay more taxes if I can get this kind of personal service from the FBI. Tip: You're gonna need to hire alot more agents because they are going to be busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest.
She had a "personal relationship" with the FBI agent who initiated the investigation. He was then pulled off it because he was sending Kelley photo's of himself without a shirt on. Read between the lines!
Sounds like this dimwitted c#%$ is a wannabe
who plays her in the movie belladonna or lindsey lohan?
Sarah Palin would be perfect for the role, she won't even have to act.
she could finally put that mouth to good use
I believe she used the friendships to Gen. Petraeus and Gen. Allen for her own personal gain and she probably is a lobbyist for South Korea, and I wonder if any information acquired by this friendship classified or otherwise she provided to the government of South Korea, if that is the case she should be treated as a foreign spy and investigated by the FBI…
I bet she does it Gangnam style
Who cares? Apparently many of those posting their salacious innuendos on here. I would not be surprised if most would give anything for an invitation to one of her parties. Fat chance!
only if they are not serving seafood HATE CRABS
Only Republican VIPs get invited to her parties.
Naaaaaaay, I would graciously turn down the invitation even if it comes with the limo ride & a bag of chips. I have no use for pretentiousness and other pompous things.
Giant, rubber boobs will generally get you any position you want. Diplomatic or otherwise.
On the brink of foreclosure,... 9 lawsuits against them,.... 2 mil in debt.... Amazing the facade some people put up! She needs knocked down a few rungs on the 'high society' ladder.
She's given more than a little Diplomatic Korean knob slob!!! It's about 30 minutes to her house from the airport. Plenty of time in the limo!! Stupid wh0re.
Israel and the Palestinians are starting WW III and we are giving a blow by blow bimbo report.
that's lamestream media for you, brother.
I see what you did there 😉
Is that kind of like an honorary notary public...lol...how pathetic.
Right – exactly the same – except, of course, that there are requirements for becoming a notary public (you dimwit)
Since when do to volunteer wannabees get consulate license plates? That is ridiculous. This woman has delusions of grandeur and somebody in the government has been enabling it.
I wonder what these 4* Generals saw in her, beauty, money or something else?
She has the emotional development of a seventh grader. So maybe she is a Kardashian.
Definately has the intelligence of one. She'd be a prime canidate for reality tv.
She seems delusional or some kind of "wanna be."
I wonder if her rich friends know now she "POOR" and how long they will stick with her. She would have been better off just calling the police and telling them there were trespassers on her property. But instead she made a fool out of herself.
I thought she was a Kardashian as first, but she's too skinny and there is no black man lurking in the background.
She wouldn't get half the dick I get up here in Regina wearing that outfit and looking middle eastern.
Josh
Can I get a set of those plates? Talk about ticket free!
What an embarrassment she is! Her big cancer surgeon doctor must be so proud. They used a fake cancer charity to fund all the dinner parties, cars, houses and jewelry. Yeah I'd let that guy work on me. NOT
She is an agent of a foreign government? That adds a whole new spin to this scandal. Even though the South Korean government may be allied with us, having agents of foreign governments embedded this close to leaders of our military and intelligence communities is unacceptable. In essence Jill Kelly is a spy, and she was getting and likely parlaying information from likely more than a couple of our military and intelligence officials and likely relaying that intelligence to one or possibly more foreign governments. If the FBI hasn't considered and investigated this it begs question of their abilities.
They need to send her back to Lebanon
I agree! You are the only person posting who is actually thinking rationally about this situation. South Korea, is just below North Korea, MY GAWD, they better be looking into this, because it IS entirely plausible, entirely, if she is connected.
I thought that she could be some sort of spy at first, but I settled with delusional . I don't doubt she's selling some secret to the highest bidder. I bet you she can speak Arabic, but using South Korea as a cover. Don't know, maybe I'm reading into it too much, but if she is, I can't just blame her. The older guys when being flattered, can easily do the thinking with their other "heads." It takes two to tango. BTW, that Broadwell chic, looks bit like a dude to me.
i suppose she has to swallow her pride now in lieu of someone elses
She's free to swallow my "pride" anytime 😉
"aspiring socialite" – is that an OFFICIAL position?
Why does she need to invoke diplomatic inviolability. I thought in Florida you could shoot anyone on your property and then just invoke Stand Your Ground or the Castle Doctrine.
Castle Doctrine? What happen if she, uh, lives in a trailer? LOL
If she doesn't want people on her property, all she should have to do is say "no trespassing".
Yawn... Another self-serving, self-promoting barracuda hiding behind the guise of doing volunteer work. How charitable. Nice hair, tan and clothes. Life is good when you're rich, good looking and the priviledges are handed to you, isn't it? Sorry honey...we can see through you now.
Those lips.....hmmmm, how much for a bean pole osculation?
Free if you're in the military and possess secrets, apparently!
Another nobody trying to pretend to be a somebody... and not doing such a great job of it!
honorary consul. brilliant. it is funny how an old fashioned cat-fight brought the whole thing to surface.
lol ! nice one 🙂
pitiful 1% cant have diplomatic immunity 🙁
anybody wanna pitch in to get her an paula kneepads an mouthwash
My or my, aren't we angry at rich attractive women with lots of time on their hands and nothing to do with it. She actually seems to be quite harmless as threats to national security go. If a general can't deal with a bimbo eruption, what is he good at anyway? Lining up medals on his parade uniform?
This woman is a self-indulgent, arrogant POS and should be ignored by polite folks.
Why on earth would Florida, or any State for that matter, issue license plates for an "Honorary Consul"?? Ridiculous.
My thoughts exactly! This lady clearly has a big head, and I'm sure the license plate made her feel even more special. Anyways, I thought diplomatic plates were issued by the State Department and not local agencies.
I hope she gives big head! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Mmmmmmm.... I wonder what she actually claims on her taxes... maybe claiming things she shouldn't be under the guise of an "honorary" wannabe.
she is the ambassador of the country of bukkake
LOL!
Honorary escort, perhaps!!
Perhaps she would be a good ambassador to Zamunda?
She MUST be a Republican by the way she is so full of herself and how she sees the world around her!
Aren't we glad she isn't married to that Syrian dictator, who looks like daffy duck? If she is, oy, we'd be losing our heads by now for saying ridiculous thing about her.
Jill Kelley wants "Diplomatic" protection? BS. She has worked for YEARS to get right where she is now-IN THE SPOTLIGHT. She is salivating at the prospects of FAME and FORTUNE brought on by Interviews, Book Deals, Reality Shows, Whistleblower Rewards Etc. The problem is a lot of GOOD people are going DOWN for her 15 Minutes of Fame.
Another bored housewife who thinks too highly of herself. Just because you're a trophy wife doesn't mean you're qualified to spread your opinions like you spread your legs.
LOL...when can we expect "The Real Housewives of Tampa" to start shooting??
Delusional rich girl.
Delusional yes, just a wannabe on rich.
This "woman"? is like a praying mantis! Make love to your mate, friends, etc., and then eat them for personal satisfaction! She is a disgrace to today's women and I have more RESPECT for a madam! Hope they do find something that can put her away!!
Two bimbos get into a catfight and ruin it for all the general officers...
Simply a wannbe. Sure she is sorry she let her FBI friend know what was going on. Now the world knows more about her...her finances. Charity in debt. Her having four lawsuits against her, etc.. Yes! Kelley truly regrets informing him of those emails.
And please, Jill. That car tag...means absolutely NOTHING. A little something they created to make you feel good...not to make you feel important. Get a grip!
ADDENDUM:
You and Paula...should have remained home, tending your children and baking cookies. (Not tending other men...and baking THEIR cookies!)
She is broke. She has 2 million in debt.
And we all end up subsidizing these jokers when their defaulted loans and credit cards get dumped in our laps.
Talk about redistribution of wealth...
Exactly what I was thinking. It is way too easy to get credit in this country!!!
So basically she's a high priced call girl for South Korean politicians?
Well said.
Apparently her husband couldn't protect her who ha from enemy missiles...
You are so funny!!!
I see a playboy spread coming!!!
eom
Cry in your beer – you loser Repuke!
Somehow, this bimbo thinks being a wannabe in Tampa is equivalent to being a somebody in LA or New York.
From what I hear about her assets, she may be seeking a reality show.
Wow!, she's more like Event organizer and wants protection under diplomatic category...real cartoon character...of course typical bimbo.
I'm going to tell my local police that nobody can come near my house because the Grand Poobah of Phlembosia declared me the Vice Assistant Beneficiarus of The Order of St. Sciatica (fourth class).
Can I sleep with you for diplomatic favors? Me love you long time.
If our government wasn't already a joke, now the military is too! A high ranking joke. Thanks, not feeling really safe right now boys. You got too many distractions.
Just how low will you go honey, sorry to break it to you but you are a nobody
Agreed!
This is beginning to remind of "Tareq and Michaele Salahi".
Get a publicist and write a book, a tell all juicy till the last page.
Maybe Jill will end up running away with and marrying the singer from Journey?
Bass player?
Drummer?
Guitar tech?!?!?
I would like to think that there is no man dumb enough to want this cancer of a woman, but I know this is not the case.
I was thinking the exact same thing. The government needs protection against famewh*res, not just terrorists.
She should be prosecuted, if applicable, for impersonating a government official.
What happened to that couple that broke into the White House party? How many of these couples are there?
Typical bimbo character.
Who is this poser?
Why is she in the US?
Send her back to Lebanon; or Korea if they want her,
"A bit full of herself", Sandra?
How about a sanctimonious moron?
I think Jill is a bit full of herself asking for protection because of her position as honory consul. Shameful behavior.
This bimbo needs protection...!!! It shld be other way, everyone else needs protection from her. Give her honorary deportation.
For someone who claims to be "inviolable" she sure seemed to be interested in being violated by high ranking officials.
Hey... a high-priced wh0re is still a wh0re...
More like "Honorary Insult"
Wasn't Jill Kelly a porn star? Hahahahahahahahah
Any such flick featuring this Jill Kelley would instantly go into the bargain (or free) bin.
Porn stars have more class than this wench
