Brother’s Dee Kelly refused US visa amid allegations of former criminal conviction?
September 29th, 2014 by Lynn Connolly.
Celebrity Big Brother 2014 - White Dee
When former Benefits Street star Dee Kelly – who was better known as White Dee during her stint on the controversial Channel 4 documentary series – left the Celebrity Big Brother house in fifth place a few weeks ago, it was reported that her career in TV was about to take off…
She was apparently set to film her own cookery show, having had cooking lessons from a top chef in France, and had been suggested for a role in a new film about the life of poet Richard Billingham, whose hard-hitting book Ray’s a Laugh was shortlisted for the Turner Prize.
It was also reported that her agent Barry Tomes had signed her up to make lucrative personal appearances in nightclubs up and down the country…
However, her future plans have reportedly hit a major snag as The Sun claims today that Dee has been denied a visa to enter America after it was alleged that she has a criminal conviction.
The paper states that Dee had been due to jet out to the US to meet up with fellow former CBB housemates Gary Busey – who of course won the show – Audley Harrison and Leslie Jordan, however, the article adds, “US authorities found out she stole £13,000 from Birmingham city council to feed her partner’s cocaine habit in 2007 and denied her a visa.”
When approached for comment, her agent said only, “We have had to reschedule.”
Meanwhile, Dee has been telling her Twitter followers that she’ll be attending the Tory conference in Birmingham in order to give PM David Cameron a piece of her mind…
Last night, she wrote, “Time to call it a night – big day tomorrow at the #toryconference in birmingham – hope to meet #DavidCameron to say it how it really is x”
One of her followers then tweeted to Dee saying, “@therealdeekelly I hope they don’t use you to pretend they give a sh** about real people. Millionaires with no clue about real life.”

Legally she can be refused a visa - it comes under visa ineligibilities in US law under 'moral turpitude', a catch all for offenses. It includes theft and fraud.
There are exclusions, but she wasn't under 18 at the time and the maximum sentence is over a year, so they don't apply.
So technically the US is right to refuse a visa, although they have leeway.
Funny that, a few weeks ago she was going be advising them big style on stage ...
didn't she make out she was going to be a keynote speaker?
i've tried to block out most of what she said but snippets survived the mind bleach....
As to the Cheryl Cole and visas thingy, it is discretionary whether to issue a visa or not. Request denied then
Why should we be the only ones to suffer her
I wonder when her next ATOS assessment is due.
Surprised that her agent didn't know she might not be able to go to the US, because of her background.
The only thing he knows is his percentage.
Agreed. She is hardly representative of ordinary people, out there.......goodness knows why she is getting all this hype
It would be better if those of us who've been paying for her **** over the years and stumping up for legal aid when she was thieving were able to tell her "how it is".
But it's her, not us, on the special guest list at the Tory Party conference.
They are privately run events, which whoever is holding it pays for - individual or a company usually. Not official party stuff. They're usually frequented by the terminally bored, or those catching up on their kip or sleeping off lunchtime drinkies.
You could hold one on 'The influence of Conservative Party thinking on the rise of Krautrock, 1969-1980'* if you stumped up the £500
* (there wasn't any) ;-)
i'm sure they have shouty ignorant people in america too who are available "live"
Dee is the Ray Davies of the shouty and ignorant world
Her manager has also "denied that the Birmingham native has postponed the trip to due her visa application being rejected and has confirmed it will take place at a later date". He said: "We only moved the proposed trip to the US at the end of October because Dee needs to rehearse for her film that starts filming on location [on the] November 3. We will be going to the US late November."

This.
She said many times whilst in the House that she had stopped claiming / receiving any benefits.
She was invited to the conference and presumably it's her opinion they want. Anyway she was obviously being facetious but it seems everything she says or does is taken 100% literally on here and torn to shreds.
Sick.
Anyone can set up a fringe meeting as long as they pay for it, and (sort of within reason) they can invite anyone to speak. It's not official policy - in fact a lot of fringe stuff is on one loony wing or another ...
Being kind, I'm happy to assume she hadn't got a clue and thought it was going to be main stage.
An item on her conference attendance.
