Minka Kelly Tells all

On making a “raunchy” tape as a teen with her boyfriend at the time…

“I hardly even remembered making the tape,” she wrote in the book, calling it “raunchy.” “I’d become such a master at leaving my body when things were uncomfortable.”

Rudy also convinced her to get a tattoo of her own lip print “on the side of my pubic mound.”

Of the tattoo, she wrote, “Little did I know I’d spend the rest of my life explaining to new lovers what the mark was, lying to everyone … I was too ashamed to admit the truth. I’d been so dependent on a man I’d let him brand me as [if] I was a member of the NXIVM cult.”

Minka ended up buying the sex tape back from Rudy for $50,000 to avoid it leaking to the press.

On getting pregnant with another unnamed boyfriend as an adult

Minka has had several high profile relationships with celebs including Taylor Kitsch, Chris Evans, Derek Jeter, Trevor Noah and John Mayer.

She explained in the book that one of her relationships led to beginning rounds of IVF and getting pregnant. The pregnancy ultimately ended in a miscarriage.

She wrote about what she learned from the whole experience.

“What I learned was that I needed to stop focusing on what I perceived were my partners’ flaws and begin asking myself why I kept attracting and allowing men into my life who weren’t capable of caring for me in the ways I needed as a result of their own unhealed childhood wounds,” she wrote.

She says everyone took Taylor’s side during their breakup. There’s always a reason behind that. When an entire workplace doesn’t like you, it’s usually you.

I find her pretty, but at the same time, her face is too long.

I think Minka is pretty but striking? I think she looks like every other long haired Hollywood brunette her age. I always forget what she looks like cause she looks like so many people.

“Pubic mound” in the first two paragraphs. So much for dinner.

R8 I'm sure little effort comes with that. She could try and make herself attractive and would still be hideous and not subversive in the least.

She has a really nice voice.

She is extremely generic looking. You see pretty girls like this in every college campus sorority house, which is why I suppose she gets the roles she does.

She’s the celebrity rebound mattress. She’s currently with Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons who split with his wife. She was also with Jesse Williams after his divorce. Her legs are always open for newly divorced men.

“ Minka Kelly (Euphoria), Maggie Grace (Fear The Walking Dead), and Dermot Mulroney (My Best Friend’s Wedding) are set to star in the psychological thriller Blackwater Lane, based on British author B.A. Paris’s bestselling novel The Breakdown. Filming has started in Suffolk, UK.

Blackwater Lane is the first film produced from one of Paris’ books. Billed as a psychological thriller with supernatural elements, the flick will follow the story of a woman, played by Kelly, who drives by a stranded motorist later revealed to have been murdered. After a series of terrifying events, the woman becomes convinced she is the killer’s next victim while her husband, played by Mulroney, and her best friend, played by Grace, worry about her sanity. Jeff Celentano (The Hill) directs.”

Minka is now clarifying something from the book.

“All the effort I might have invested in connecting consistently with the girls on the show went to Taylor. So when my relationship with Taylor became toxic, I had no one to turn to,” Minka wrote in the book while discussing her lack of female friendships during her time on FNL.

Minka just appeared on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live and was asked about describing her relationship as “toxic.”

“I don’t know if I describe it as a toxic relationship,” Minka replied. “I say it became toxic as a result of.. being under the pressure cooker of a new show. You’re 26 years old and in your twenties, I think there’s a chance that might happen if you come from where I come from and you have the tools that I have or don’t have, and what was important to me and what I really tried to do, especially in that chapter, was keep the focus on my sh-t.”

Minka was excellent on The View this morning.

She’s stunning. Too bad she’s into dirtbags. Taylor Kitsch was stunning during the FNL days so who can blame her?

The View is very awkward television. The hosts are too busy listening to the producers in their ears to have a natural conversation with the guest. Minka gushed about meeting with The View and there was the smallest acknowledgment from the hosts of her opening comment. Minka who sounds like a bimbo, but obviously isn't, had to reframe the question asked about her mother. The question asked is borderline hostile and accusatory. What an awful show.

by Anonymousreply 32May 5, 2023 12:46 AM

Yeah, same here. The only thing I'm interested in is what sex with Trevor Noah was like. I care a little less about who was capable of caring for her in the ways she needed as a result of their own unhealed childhood wounds.

[Quote] I recall at some point someone here interacted with her on the FNL set.

Might have been the same person who said that the FNL cast/crew had to stage an intervention between Taylor and Minka. They said it was a toxic relationship and you can't really blame the producer for trying to discourage on set hook ups.

[Quote] She looks like she works out a lot.

She does because of Titans. But i also forget Minka was in the Charlie's Angels reboot.

Minka is so early 2000's. That's why she is taking about her dumb sex life shit to stay relevant. Goodbye bitch.
