There’s still debate over who Valencia Love actually is, but various reports have shown her Yelp page as being the owner of the Illinois diner Love on the Blu. Before posting bail for Kelly, the Yelp page had fabulous reviews and over 100 photos of the menu, meals served, and customers enjoying themselves.

Now the Yelp page is under attack with many saying to eat at the diner is to support pedophilia. Yelp has issued a pop-up announcement to let visitors know about the recent media coverage and how that may be influencing the recent onslaught of reviews on the site.
