Kelli Malone (The Closer)

Kelli Malone (Jamie Anne Allman) is the main villainess from The Closer's fourth season finale, "Double Blind" (airdate February 23, 2009). She is a stripper and escort who was married to former Iraq war veteran Vince Malone.
Kelli was hospitalized due to being shot in her shoulder during the robbery at an escort agency she worked at--a robbery that saw her manager, Michael, shot to death by the robber. During her encounter with Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson and Sgt. David Gabriel, Kelli claimed that Vince had no idea regarding her true profession, which was done to help her husband out financially, and in response to the fact that every agency Kelli worked at being robbed, Kelli claimed to have nothing to do with the robberies.
As it turned out, a visit to Vince's revealed him as the serial robber, as stacks of money were found behind some drywall. In addition, Kelli was revealed as the mastermind, but knowing that spousal privilege would prevent Vince from testifying against his wife, Brenda devised a plan to trap Kelli. The plan had Brenda showing Kelli video of the robbery and informing Kelli that Vince shot her intentionally to get rid of her, and that he was claiming that Kelli planned the robberies. After being informed by Brenda that Vince was leaving town in a new SUV, Kelli threw Vince under the bus by referring to him as a psycho and adding that she had nothing to do with the robberies. Also, the evil Kelli stated that she married Vince because she was drunk, and that her clients were better lovers than him before voicing her lack of love for her husband.
As Kelli would find out, Vince had watched his wife show her true colors on video and he screamed at her, and afterwards, Vince revealed Kelli's role as the mastermind. As Vince revealed, Kelli informed him that her bosses were taking her money from her, leading to Vince promising to get it back for her by committing the robberies. Following Vince's confession, Kelli was arrested (off-screen) for planning the robberies.

*"That's what I get for feeling sorry for him. It's the story of my life. You know what? I only married Vince because I was drunk. He has a nice body, sure, but he never knew what to do with it. It s a lot easier to get decent sex from a client. I had nothing to do with these robberies. Vince is obviously a psycho. You know what? He can go to hell. I don't care about him."
