Kelly Rutherford is shocked by the ruling that her young children must live in France with their father and she made a tearful appearance on The View to talk about her bitter custody battle Thursday, and revealed the heartbreaking news that she believes her son has been “brainwashed.”

The Gossip Girl beauty told Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd that she saw her children just 10 days ago, and was weeping when recalling what they said to her.

“My little girl said ‘I want to come home, mama. I want to come back to New York,’” she described about Helena, 3, who is now in the custody of her ex-husband Daniel Giersch.

Wiping away tears with a tissue that Whoopi Goldberg brought her, Kelly dropped the bombshell that she believes her son, Hermes, 5, is being brainwashed.

“My son, who’s kind of been brainwashed, said where he is is so much better, but he always says ‘Mama, I love you so much, you’re in my heart.’”
