United States2 months ago - GIVE KELLI HER CREDIT!! 💐
Edited on 8/3/26: Kelli played a MAJOR part in the resurgence of Laguna beach/ the hills. You will not tell me otherwise.
As a fellow millennial I found her page with old MySpace pics of the cast, back in like 2017, before instagram was anything it is today.
Her IG page gained traction and cast members who used to untag themselves in posts, have now leaned into the nostalgia and some have even done an interview with her!
Give Kelli her flowers!!

Kelli’s personality and humor
Shine through so much on this podcast. Came from Beyond the Blinds because I love deep diving into pop culture moments in history. Now I’m listening regularly because I just really like listening to Kelli(:

As a 32 year old Midwest woman, I really enjoy Kelli’s takes/rants/raves. I love hearing personal thoughts, stories, and it feels very parasocial. Like I’m listening to a friend have a one sided chat I just nod along in agreement with. 🥰
