Scott Kelly went through a nasty divorce. This Is Reno went into great detail regarding his divorce, fake Facebook account, a GPS tracker on his Kelly’s ex-wife’s car, and an extramarital relationship with a stripper, along with other allegations, all not a good look for a Washoe County School Distr
