Kellie Pickler gave an exclusive gut-wrenching interview to the local ABC affiliate in Raleigh, North Carolina which aired the same day Kellie tearfully sang "I Wonder" at the Country Music Awards in Nashville. Upset, Kellie addresses Cynthia Malone's version of what happened years ago when she left Kellie to be raised by her grandparents in Albemarle, NC. She looks directly into the camera and talks to her estranged mom. Cynthia is also interviewed in this segment. From ABC 11, WTVD, Raleigh, NC Thank you to YouTuber robsgirl4ever for alerting me to this video. Here is an amazing article with an interview with Kellie's mom from the Charlotte Observer- www.newsobserver.com I loved Kellie Pickler from the first moment I saw her audition for American Idol 5 in January 2006.
