A 20-year-old woman married to a zombie doll in an ’emotional and intimate’ seven-year relationship and says they even consummated their marriage.
Felicity Kadlec Rossi says the doll is Kelly Rossi and is 37, she has received messages of hate with people believing her husband is a dead child.
She has enlisted the help of her local police in Vinita, Oklahoma, to get them to verify her other half is just a doll.
Felicity said: ‘I decided to go to the police because I was told that people were calling the cops saying that my wife was a dead child.
‘Even when I was telling people that she is just a doll people weren’t believing me, so I decided to go to the police to get some verification.’
‘When I was there the police confirmed that she was just a doll, and we posed up for a picture stating this so that I could share it on social media.’
‘I am sick of people thinking that Kelly is a child and insinuating that I like children, so I knew I had to get this clarified to put an end to these claims.’
During her visit to Vinita Police station on 28 March, Felicity took a picture with Kelly and a policeman who was holding a sign stating, ‘Vinita police checked it out. It’s just a doll.’
She said: ‘I met Kelly when I was younger as a friend, and it grew into a relationship.’
‘Like myself, Kelly aged with me and I have only ever seen her as an adult – she has never been a child in my eyes.’
‘Although she is just a doll, I believe that the energy that Kelly has is that of an adult, and that’s what I love about her.’
‘Kelly was created as a Halloween doll and wasn’t created to have any likeness to a child – she’s just a zombie.’
‘I knew that I had to get the police to check the situation out to help me move on with my relationship with Kelly.’
‘Ever since people have called me a pedophile I have had a hard time being affectionate with Kelly.’
‘Now that it has been confirmed, I want to be able to move on and enjoy our relationship and marriage.’
’After their wedding, Velicity said that Kelly was the groom because she ‘takes the male role in our relationship and dressed her up in a suit because she is a tomboy.’
She received the doll Kelly from her late father after becoming obsessed with horror movies when she was 13.
Felicity said she started developing feelings for her when she was 16 and after her father’s death turned to the doll for comfort.
