Jill Kelley leaves her home Monday, Nov. 12, 2012, in Tampa, Fla.
(CBS News) Jill Kelley has
been called the other other woman involved in the scandal that led to
the resignation of retired CIA director David Petraeus. Kelley received and
reported email threats from Paula Broadwell, Petraeus' alleged mistress. The
emails prompted the FBI investigation that ultimately brought Petraeus'
infidelity to light.
Now, the FBI is
investigating new emails between Kelley and John Allen, the top U.S. General in
Afghanistan. The Tampa, Florida socialite has three young
children with her husband, a prominent cancer surgeon. The couple met Petraeus
about five years ago through their charitable work for military families. The
couple often attends events at the military's central command center in Tampa.
Kelley is also known to host
glamorous bashes of her own but for now, she is staying silent on the scandal.
She left her home on Monday, but did not speak to the press. Kelley has hired
high-profile attorney Abbe Lowell and crisis manager Judy Smith, who previously
represented Monica Lewinsky.
Jill Kelley's brother, David
Khawam, spoke out on her behalf this week, "I know who my sister is and I
know she's a good mother and a good wife. This is completely uncharacteristic
of her to have romantic relationships outside of her marriage."
"The primary thing is
that she wants her privacy protected," he added. "I think she'll
probably come out and make a statement at one point."
