SOMETHING’S GOT TO GIVE …
|| By FITSNEWS || One day, something has to give in the metronomic love affair between “family values” S.C. comptroller general Richard Eckstrom and “Republican” activist/ Midlands, S.C. school teacher Kelly Payne.
Eventually one of their multiple wedding announcements will stick … or one of them will murder the other. Or (if we’re lucky) it will be a murder-suicide.
For now, though, Eckstrom and Payne – whose torrid affair cost the socially conservative Eckstrom his marriage – continue to bounce back-and-forth between being engaged and, well, “not.”
The latest status check?
Eckstrom and Payne are once again “engaged.”
Take a look …

Yikes.
Over the years Eckstrom and Payne’s star-crossed affair has produced courtroom battles, police reports, allegations of sexually transmitted diseases, wedding rings for sale on Craigslist as well as campaign finance abuse charges related to Eckstrom paying for Payne’s travel to the 2012 Republican National Convention.
Oh, and Eckstrom’s creepy texts and emails to Payne have become the stuff of S.C. political legend (and not in a good way).
Before the ink was dry on his divorce, Eckstrom and Payne announced their first engagement in February 2012 – although less than two months later the wedding was off. They’ve been engaged and re-engaged at least twice since then (prior to this month’s engagement announcement).
“Their wedding dates are about as firm as the Jell-O the aging Comptroller will soon be slurping down at the nursing home,” we wrote last year.
Meanwhile, it appears the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.
Eckstrom’s middle-aged son Brad Eckstrom received pretrial intervention last fall after criminal domestic violence (CDV) charges were filed against him for allegedly punching, kicking and grabbing his 29-year-old former fiancee Blair Pettrey by the hair, then dragging her across his mother’s home (where he lived at the time) . Pettrey was nine weeks pregnant with Brad Eckstrom’s child at the time of the alleged assault.
Eckstrom’s sweetheart deal was announced as “Republican” leaders in South Carolina vowed to take “action” on the issue of domestic violence …
Pettrey gave birth to a baby girl earlier this year, but rather than “man up” and take responsibility for his daughter the younger Eckstrom has chosen to disavow the baby girl (and, according to her mother, is refusing to pay child support).
Of course that won’t be a problem in South Carolina, right? (Ahem).
Richard Eckstrom’s response to his son’s issues? He accused this website’s founding editor Will Folks of being the child’s father (despite paternity tests to the contrary).
Drama, right?
Right …
Oh well, at least none of this is effecting Eckstrom’s work, right?
UPDATE: Payne responds …

I bet that selfie of himself in bed makes you hard.
“Hard” to not gag…….if Kelly gets into bed with that ugly thang ( just guessing, have never seen it) she would have to wear a barf bag hanging around her neck.
affirmative
Soulmates and their on again-off again relationships.
Two narcs who sleaze as one.
Must say, Gramps keeps his teeth nice and white.
More distraction from the real news…
Deep Nuts gaining in the polls!!!
I cannot even keep up with the various affairs and relationships reported on this blog – the number reported on is dizzying.
Don’t know these two – don’t really care to know these two – but wish them well that they have found each other and are engaged – again – not that I knew they were engaged before – but sure that Fits will keep me updated.
“SOMETHING’S GOT TO GIVE …”
WTF does this little tagline mean anyway???
Not sure,but that was the title of the last Marilyn Monroe movie;never finished…

They were jealous that Ravenel had passed them (handily, I should add) on the Creep-o-meter. I am sure they will work hard to regain their first place status.
Ravenel and Loftis.. Hard to decide who is on top of the creep-o-meter. Loftis bashing gay men ( he is gay himself ) . Loftis bashing black men. Loftis bashing women. Loftis and false allegations , lies, with many alter egos ( here on Fits ). Violence against women, temper beyond control. Breaking computers, destroying state owned computers to hide the fact that he is using state owned computers to post on Fits.. in the state owned office, on tax payers time. He has violated the Civil Rights laws… He has violated the many funds in the STO..What a jerk!
Why is Loftis, an elected constitutional officer of the State of SC , doing his crap on Fits ? He is a coward of the worst kind.. Is Fits paying Loftis to post on this site, so readers will respond to his stupid and vicious posts? Follow the money…. Money made by Loftis and Fits… Fits , are you sleeping with Loftis? Beware, his ass is infected and his penis is oozing…his own words..
Very creepy how FITSNews is obsessed with these people’s- and so many – personal lives.
There was a day when a man would just kick somebody’s ass over shit like this, and take the consequences. Of course that was when there were not so many dirty Democrat Trial lawyers ready to destroy people, to feed their liberal greed.
I think most people would laugh, and cheer, if an ass-whoopin were rendered in this case. It’s damn sure overdue.
Saggy balls can bring that shit.
I heard that is good to smack the asshole.
Politician = No personal life. At least FITS reports on it, none of the legacy media around here does anything but kiss politician anal canals. Can’t upset the status quo, otherwise they’ll stop getting press releases and have to actually research and report.
Eckstom is not fit for office. The GOP should demand his resignation.
Along with censuring these other embarrassments to the party!
The Party has become rife with these vile, disgusting cretins!
Whatever. You don’t resign from office unless you’ve stolen something from the taxpayers, misused campaign money, abused your position for personal gain, or broken the law. Geez.
Eckstrom is not fit for office. Curtis Loftis is not fit for office..The GOP should demand their resignation. Sicko, vile men.
I must say again,
I warned you about:
Mark Sanford
Bob Peeler
Richard Eckstrom
All have been horrible embarrassments for the State, the party and their families.
Eckstrom fired Curtis Loftis while he was Controller General , after a very short time on the job. Andre Bauer fired Curtis Loftis from the Office on Aging , after a short time on the job… Loftis has many problems… Mental and physical. Creepy and scary.
She’s saying on Facebook, 2 hrs afterr this post, that it is untrue. Not that it matters. I don’t understand how any parent would let her teach their kids at Dutch Fork. Meanwhile, GOP voters should have voted for Mike Meilinger when they had a chance to take him out in a Primary in 2008, I think it was. He must be removed from that office. An embarrassment to the entire state.
Yeah but he has Conservative “values”
What more do you want?
I had to check the date to make sure this post was current. Her judgment especially b/c she teaches kids has to be questioned (b/c we know he’s worthless). They have to be going for a reality show.
I think they get re-engaged every time he gets a hard-on.
Guess he got his Cialis refilled.
Yeah, and this guy is what, late sixties. So old there is probably moss growing on the north side of his pecker.
?????
It’s supposed to grow on the north side?
Damn! I never get these things right!
Let’s all hope you’re NOT a real D5 Mom. What respectable, sane “mother” would troll this site all day?
I think she’s simply a crazy-cunt!
He’s a “catch?” I guess if you’re fishing in the saggy grandpa with halitosis pond.
And Will? Next time, advance warning of a potential nightmare and/or nausea inducing photo to come would be appreciated.
My God! Can you even imagine the nightmare of following one of the infamous:
Sanford, Peeler, Eckstrom, etc. with Donna, Kelly, or Maria? It would be like sticking your prominent, protruding, pecker in the sewer!
These women should stay with these sewer rats, they are forever tainted with slimy, smelly, sewer sauce of the shit house cesspool! What nightmares may come!
The thought makes me shiver, shake, sick with the quick step of diarrhea of the dead!
At one time Richard Eckstrom was a conservative that wanted to matter and he actually did. Now, he is just a politician that enables the big spending crowd to make off with our tax dollars. He has had front row seat to the terrific rise in wasteful spending in state government and instead of acting to stop it, he chases girls and looks the other way.
He loves the government salary. He loves the 2 day a week work schedule. He loves the perks and he loves himself. He just doesn’t care one bit about us.
Did you figure that out when he was SC Treasurer and took a state van to some upper mid-west state for a family vacation?
You will recall, he was turned out of that job after that escapade, waited a few years and the/you GOPers gave him another chance to show himself while living on the government…I would say dime, but what those agency heads make is a whole lot more.
And, he’s been re-elected by GOP voters how many times since he started this trash with Hot Pants Kelly Payne?
South Carolina sure has problems with Treasurers… Eckstrom, Thomas Ravenel and now asshole Curtis Loftis… The worst by far is Loftis.
No matter what befalls us . . . at least–thank whatever gods that be!–at the very least we are not they.
So will we ever see her nipples? I bet they look like the last segment of your little finger.
I bet they look like a Vienna sausage.
I like ’em big.
I just looked at her Facebook page, those pictures of her tits should be the poster child for the word “jugs”. Forget fucking her, I’d spend all my time playing with those titties.
The State Guard, of which Eckstrom was the top guy, is full of posers. Pieces of shit that could not cut the mustard anywhere except a made up and overgrown Boy Scout Troop.
This behavior is par for the course.
Yep, that State Guard is the LOSER Brigade.
They are posers. Pussies. Pricks and Pecker heads.
When Eckstom was promoted to the general I knew that was the proof that the Guard needed t one disbanded.
The State Guard, of which Eckstrom was the top guy, is full of pussies.
Something tells me that is what you really meant, if not what the hell
Both work…
Cannon fodder in a true conflict., expendable cannon fodder!
Eckstrom a General? I would not follow this “Cluster Fuck” of a slug to the latrine!
Now that “the couple” has their groove back on perhaps we can expect to see them walking hand in hand at the Chapin Labor Day Parade
Was a little weird seeing Eckstrom walking by himself last year although the Ashley Madison.com sign he was waving was a nice touch for a family event
Once you catch Ickstrom, your choices are limited.
Please go the f#@& away! Better yet, stop giving them their 2 seconds of fame.
Poster Couple for mental illness.
That whole clan is sick
Scott Malyerck, how’s the new wife?
She is probably fucking half of the town, unless she has changed in recent couple of years.
What’s the story? Not familiar with her, but saw her pic. Heard she was associated with Rod Shealy’s firm.
If its a question of whether she is telling the truth or anybody else is telling the truth about her engagement, trust the anybody else. She and Ickstrom are both pscychopath pathological liars.
What publicly elected official of sound judgement and a experience would allow photos in a hotel bed, especially as an unmarried man?
None would allow such photos and surely none would be smiling into a camera. Such poor judgement and reckless behavior lends itself to blackmail or other influences regarding his elected office and the public’s trust placed in him.
Eckstom has lost any semblance of self respect and is not worthy of public office.
X 1,000,000
Eckstrom should be put out to pasture. What is wrong with the Republican Party?
Does the Party have no shame, no self respect, no morals, no ethics any longer?
With T. Ravenel, james R. Metts, Mark Sanford, Bob Peeler, Harvey Peeler, Bobby Harrell, Richard Eckstrom, Ken Ard, Joe Wilson,Hugh Leatherman, John Courson, Luke Rankin, Larry Martin and the list could go on, and on!
Sluts, Criminals, Absence of Ethics, Amoral, Gold Diggers, Political Groupies, Sex, Lies and Video Tapes. These people are an embarrassment and don’t have enough self respect, or brains to realize it.
We need to rid ourselves of these CANCERS!
May I ask why Senator Rankin is included in this list?
Because he is a Leatherman sock puppet.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????my neighbor’s ex makes 60/hour on the web……last monday I got another McLaren F1 from getting 4948 this latest 4 weeks and-in wealth of, ten/k last-munth . with no vulnerability it’s the most pleasing work Ive ever done . I started this 10-months back and speedily startad bringin in more than 76 for every hour . look at this site…
===LOOK AT THIS=== > tinyurl.com/Outstanding2Net0dMoneys ??????????????????????????????????????? ?????? tAke a look and find more info clicking any link
I know the term “Republican” is voodoo on this site, but that slut supports actual Democrats more than she does Republicans.
OK, lover
That’s because she’s s two-faced cunt!
It’s just more republican fun as it is in SC. I could say things about republicans that are sexually wrong but the masses think it is a joke, more pub fun.
Once again Fits and Folks grovel for relevacy, and fail miserably. Congratulations. The clickbait worked. I came over to see if what I was hearing originated here, and was right. I’ll probably be back in another 2 years, if your worthless site is still around.
Only is SC, must be a R. This state is fucked. Clown state of the US.
Freak of SC, wants more freeks. Nikki r u available. Make your governship complete with love.
I just want to go on record as saying that the “murder-suicide” bit was a bridge too far.
Will, if ya GOTTA post pix of people posing topless in bed, can we please get back to the ones of hot babes doing that, with the good ol’ NSFW warning in the header?
Not actual headers, of course. That would be gross.
Perv ALERT!!!!
If that “waiting-in-the-hotel-bed” picture is not enough to make the school board where this slut works fire her for moral turpitude, what the hell is?
Are there no DECENT PARENTS who have children in that district, in that school, in her classroom willing to stand up and say they will no longer have their children exposed to her trashy behavior?
Why do you – or, the superintendent and school board – think she can control herself inside a classroom any better than she can outside of one?
What kind of freak show are the children in her classes being exposed to?
You know ‘parents’, if you’re too gutless to go to a school board meeting en masse and say enough is enough, you can refuse to allow your children to be placed in her classes.
Kelly Payne needs to be THE issue in every school board election in that district until she is gone or sent for the psychological help she so obviously needs.
Teachers: is Kelly Payne the face you want for your profession?
Are you other teachers in that district afraid to petition the gutless superintendent and school board to take action? Send her for a psychological eval,, whatever if they can’t fire her because of her GOP connections?
SC Dept of Education: Do you allow a teacher to remain certified no matter what their public misbehavior is and how it demeans SC public education?
Is there any other teacher in this state who would still be in a classroom if they had lived their trashy, trashy lives on Facebook like this woman has?
There are some ‘professions’ that police and take action when their members appear to be unbalanced…but, not education?
Will Brad Warthen and other self-important, self-promoting, moralistic on every OTHER public issue ‘public figures’ stop condoning her behavior by ceasing to make appearances to her class?
Would they want their children and grandchildren in any of her classes not knowing what in the hell an out of control teacher could expose them to?
Do they think there is a total disconnect between a very public private life and a professional life?
SC Republican Party: Thanks for the constant reminders of what common, low life scum hypocrites you run for public office in this state.
Can Richard Eeeeekstrum be impeached for HIS moral turpitude?
Yes, Buzz, ‘murder-suicide’ did seem to go a bit too far. But, a guns blazing shoot out between the two of them wouldn’t bother me a bit.
The picture is not on her FB page. There’s been no mention of Richard Eckstrom on her FB for over half a year. This is gossip and not newsworthy.
She is nowhere in that pic. Eckstrom could be playing games. He is the public figure…he is the scum.
But you, Obama and Hillary let 4 Americans – who you sent to Benghazi -get raped anally and murdered, while you sat on your lazy, and stupid asses
You advocate Obama in the most powerful job in the nation, and now you’re telling me hillary is ready for it, too….
Short answer. She is a big supporter of the corrupt D5 school board. So they support her.
Where to begin? Let’s see…why does she even give him the time of day? He’s abusive and self-absorbed — a true narcissist. I use
Who gives a fuck? This ain’t news, bro.
#Keckstrong
Hiz beard looks pretty gud, I’d say.
Kelly Payne is a psychopath, hands down. Her lies trump her looks (which aren’t that great) and she’s a fool to stay involved in politics. We should have no sympathy for her at all!
Not the most clever rhetorical excursion, but decent idiom, Idiot.
Oh come now, like anyone has to give a more clever idiom than “psychopath when describing KP!? Isn’t it understood at this point?
These people are sick. Sick I tell you.
Sick of your big pie-hole, Mr. Rocky.
Dumb Cunt!
More along the lines of dumb criminal, Blair Pettrey, that is. This is one of the many of her arrests.
http://www.quintonreport.com/2013/06/05/the-blair-witch-project/
you do know a peace order is not an arrest, right? why even pull her into it? she’s irrelevant to Kelly’s Dick anyway
Drama is always full of puns and WF will always remain relevant for he is the Master.
GROSSS!!!!
He has a large porn collection.
Who? Richard Eckstrom? Trust me the last thing I want to do is defend any members of that family – however, I truly don’t think that is a fair accusation to make.
Part of the exclusive collection?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SwfAB6CwuT0
Stop it Blair Pettrey.
Using social media as a way of revenge is wrong.
Setting up and carrying through with an electronic character assassination is a major commitment of effort, which I think would result in someone leaving tell-taie signs of activities, meaning there are going to be very few anonymous grassy knolls to shoot from… We all know it’s you.
http://www.quintonreport.com/2013/07/10/blair-pettrey-vs-whitney-hill/
Of course Daddy Eckstrom has always honored his financial obligations to his family…Not. So why are we surprised that the Son didn’t. Sorry just threw up a little even thinking about this.
I suspect the Eckstrom cock looks like dried caulk. Bet it smells that way too.
KP is a lieing psychopath who will use anyone in her sphere of influence to get what she wants. I have no sympathy for her and she needs to have a hard-look in a mirror and question herself. Though I’m certain she has many mirrors in her home just like every other female narcissist.
MP, It’s “lying”, You know gaslightibg can manipulate people into insanity. How’s Angela holding up?
Oh I’m not so sure any of us understand your paychopathic genius?! One would expect a repentant person (as we’ve been told of you but what sadly is not of the trurh) to man-up and admit their faults and wrongs to their “sphere”. Sadly, that’s not you today or ever has been. I guess the world simply continues to turn…With or without you…continue on with your never-ending cycle of contempt for the world. You’re a fool!
How are things in hell? Is humidity the big issue?
Richard owes no one any money. Blair Pettrey quit your pathological lying.
Irmo-insanity at their best! Gotta love the lying and the psychopaths in this case. Question is, which one is the crazier of the two? I put my money on the face-paint woman with fake cans. She’s got a long history of bullshit!
I am praying that you allow God to direct you along the right path and bring the right people into your life to support you. Don’t forget to trust your gut and that first impressions are the best impressions.
Yes! It is true! Tom and Reid Davis and I are hosting a baby shower for Will and Katrina Folks at my house on Saturday, June 27th. I promise you a nice grown-up invitation (but only because Reid is doing it!), but wanted to make sure you all save the date. We’ll have a laid-back, casual cook-out in the early evening to celebrate the new Folks baby, who is coming in mid-July.
I do hope you will all be able to join us! They are registered at Babies R Us. Don’t panic, guys – we aren’t playing any baby shower games or doing arts and crafts! This modern tradition of having guys at these things has set us free from frilly and silly, and also made it acceptable to serve libations at a party for a pregnant woman – women haven’t been able to get away with that since the 60s!
Invitation/details to follow – save the date! Look forward to seeing you all and celebrating this happy occasion!
Stupid cunt! She’s psychotic!
Happy New Year, Cunt!
I bet you’re just as much of a “lying” crazy now
as you have been your whole life; manipulating the world including Eckstrom into loving you.
You see my friends, KP has always been about loring Eckstrom into loving her the way her daddy couldn’t when she was a child. Explains the psychopath in her now doesn’t it!?
Oh she’ll play the game of the victim extremely well; but only to manipulate her ultimate desire for herself.
So sad really, a woman with such beauty and brains to be caught up in a world of Eckstrom. “Two star-crossed lovers” whose brains are just full of shit!
Grow up Kelly and act your age for once without tying your hands to the Devil’s deeds…your deeds.
Isn’t that the truth! Both are complete psychopaths and will use anyone to get what they want including each other. She’s completely fucking crazy and has been for years up to and including messing around with her former students. A beauty with fake cans but a nut-job with real neurological problems.
