Infuriating.
I can’t understand how Jean isn’t in prison. Same for Liberty. So much love to Casey and his family. Thank you for reaching for the stars! Get all 50!
Heartbreaking story !!
Heartbreaking story ! Kerri, you’re a warrior ! I cannot believe what you went through… Jean & Liberty should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law ! Thank you for bringing awareness to this terrible situation and making a difference in elderly abuse awareness. Your father would be so proud of you !
Casey Didn’t Deserve This
Casey Kasem is a broadcast icon. I credit him as one of the inspirations for me entering the field over 30 years ago. It is absolutely horrible what this man had to endure.
Keri, you are an inspiration for your advocacy. I’m so sorry you and your siblings had to go through this trauma and drama. I hope your father is finally at peace.
