Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]
Throughout the story, Kelly can be heard reporting on various events during Weazel News radio breaks, as well as promoting his book. Likewise, he writes some articles that can be read on the internet following various missions. During the events of the game, he and his wife Cynthia, a fellow finance reporter for Weazel News, are passing through a divorce. The two actively slander each other in their publications, usually derailing the discussion of the article's actual headline. Kelly claims that, despite the divorce proceedings, she will not take any of the profits from his book's sales. Cynthia retorts in one of her own articles, referring to Kelly's book as "garbage."
Also, in an article published by Cynthia, she claims that Kelly found a woman half his age, who aims to take everything he has, including the proceedings of his new book. She proceeded to escalate the personal attacks against her ex-husband. For example, she described Kelly's physical features and flawed personality, calling a him "hairy-backed, small-dicked, balding egomaniac." Earlier, his ex-wife also labeled him as a "well-known philanderer," suggesting that she and others were aware of Kelly frequently cheating on her.
Kelly's Lifeinvader account details his daily life and serves as a platform for him to further promote his book. Via this profile, it is also revealed that Kelly's birthday is on July 27.
