Pardon me,
Thursday, May 20, 2010 but what the FUCK just happened?
Once again, Kelly Bensimon's twitter feed was hyperventilating during the show. Are we at the point of Britney, where we really do need to feel sorry for her? If so, then let me squeeze this one in under the wire:
Reader Comments (67)
I think it is interesting that on Bethenny's blog she points out that this happened months ago and yet not one of them leaked it to the press. Clearly they were/are concerned about Kelly.
I felt bad for Sonja - constantly being left alone with Kelly. Of course, she could have just left her alone and Kelly probably wouldn't have known the difference.
Can you imagine going on an all expense paid vacation in Paradise and being subjected to that craziness? Talk about a buzz kill.
Joanne.. now i know why you said "DEFENSE" That was just as crazy as AL SHARPTON! She would be much better off if she stopped giving interviews, deleted twitter and hid for the next few months. She is bat shit crazy mixed with a meth addiction.
I've been trying to figure out who wont be returning next season.
Bethany: gone with her new show...
Jill: brings the drama llama!
Ramoner: brings her wonky eyes, outbursts and calculated revenge missions. (which i love lol)
Kelly: Bravo surely knows better? I enjoy a good train wreck but this is a tad more than that. She needs help.
My best guess is Alex or countless. I like Alex this season but she's not a good Drama llama or mean girl. Countless brings a whole lotta nothing to the show... well, aside from looking down her nose at everyone maybe that's enough?
anyone else have a guess?
I don't have any words - ya'll said them already. But seriously, what is with all the crazies on reality TV? Heidi/Spencer (yes, I know they're douchbags) and Kelly...who's next?
Oh wait - not sure if anyone else noticed this or brought it up but wasn't that Kelly's ex-husband the photographer for Danielle's daughter's photo shoot?
Now I have no basis for this theory but something tells me that Kelly's kids dad has much activity in their lives...so maybe he's not even aware of KK's behavior.
Alright kids I was thinking Kelly was on a bipolar high but the allowance of Sonja's cat piss remark is too telling. I hear Celebrity Rehab needs cast members Mrs. Bensimon. Her mental and physical health is precarious.....are they going to put her on the reunion show? Andy Cohen its time to get your hands dirty and help out Kelly-make sure you swing by NJ and pick up Danielle as well:(
What about the "satchel's of gold" comment?
Not only the "satchel of gold" comment..but didn't she randomly blurt out "silver" as she was stalking off to get her jelly beans?
I love this blog!
Has anyone read Jill's blog on Bravo yet? Incase anyone was wondering if she could get any MORE self absorbed (bordering on OBSESSED), check it out and you'll get your answer! Also, if you have the time, read the comments - 9 out of 10 are telling her to get over her evil self and stuff it in her pie hole. LMFAO!
I just watched the show and I had to take multiple time outs! I can't believe Kelly acted like that on national TV. I totally understand why her husband left. Sonja is such a nice person. I feel like we haven't seen hardly any of Bethenny and yet she is in so much trouble with Kelly, LuAnn and Jill. I think Kelly should really rethink coming back on the show. I don't think it is wise for her to carry on.
I can't believe Ramona didn't send Kelly home or have removed from the property. I also thought that Ramona, Bethenny and Kelly would have locked themselves in a bedroom together too. Did anyone notice how lost for words Ramona was? Ramona didn't even try and talk with Kelly cause Kelly "shutter her down". I love how Ramona gets caught talking about Kelly and then Kelly gets caught talking about Bethenny.
I wonder if Kelly wishes she would have"zipp it" now. Seriously waiting for the recap!
Paranoid Personality Disorder.

The first time I watched this episode it was so frenetic and chaotic that I had to watch a second time to really hear everything that was being said. While I am not a big fan of Kelly's, I must speak up in her defense. Kelly's comfort zone is light chit-chat about clothes, parties, style, etc. She tries to avoid the gossip and does not want to engage in behind-the-back bitchfests with the other "ladies". This automatically put her at odds with the rest of them. She simply is not sharp enough or articulate enough to take on a pirhanna like Bethenny. The fact was, at the breakfast table scene at the beginning of the episode, it was BETHENNY, who drew Kelly into the re-hashing of the chef/cook argument and it was BETHENNY who was like a dog with a bone and would not let it go. Again, Kelly is no match for Bethenny when it comes to arguments and that's why she doesn't want to have anything to do with her. Later, during the dinner blow-out, I think Kelly just got so fed up with the other women that she did not care at all what came out of her mouth. I don't think Kelly was having any kind of psychotic "episode" or gave evidence of any sort of clinical condition. She was just saying whatever she wanted at that point. When Bethenny said "You can't handle the truth", Kelly misidentified the quote as having been made by Al Sharpton, instead of Jack Nicholson. This was not some kind of Tourette's utterance, but merely a misattribution of the quote that Bethenny had just tossed out. Anyway...this post is a little long but I think Kelly got a bad rap in this episode, due in no small part to the other women declaring that she was in need of medical attention. This was condescending on their part and very mean-spirited. Yes Kelly made some crazy remarks ["She's trying to kill me"] but I think this was just hyperbole. If you asked her if she REALLY thought Behtenny was trying to actually murder her, I think she would probably laugh.
Reality TV is NOT going to help Kelly's career- whatsoever!
Jill: "I really like Kelly. I just couldn't understand a thing she was saying." Duh Jill- no one can!
Neil- I do see your point. I think a lot of things get misinterpreted and spin out of control, all because Kelly is stupid. And I don't mean to say that in a mean way. Some people are just smarter than others, and it's not their fault. It's just like being born beautiful or ugly, short or tall, shy or outgoing. Education can help, but only to a limited degree.
In the original Bethenny/Kelly fight, Kelly's "I'm up here, you're down here" comment was blown WAY out of proportion. She wasn't saying she was better then Bethenny, she was criticizing her "low" behavior (Bethenny's "Madonnna" remark). Just like the lemonade flub, Kelly was trying to reference the adage our moms always taught us: You be the better person and rise above it; don't stoop to their level by name calling. Except this is how you would've heard it if your mom was a mornon.
But, in defense of the crazy diagnosis and as SGM pointed out, they had a whole discussion about whether or not Kelly was seriously mentally ill right in front of her, and she seemed inexplicably unaware. As Alex would say...what was that?
from the beginning in the car about "not eating processed foods" and then the offense she took to "stomping on grapes to make wine" and saying oh are we having lunch then i must put something on, to lemons to lemonaid to calling all of them sick, demented and gross and then smashing her face into the glass window, always pulling her hair in her face, all of her weird expressions and not letting anyone else ever speak over her loud masculine voice to the satchels of gold comment and telling bethany she has never read anything and called her a whore over and over and a cook not a chef. Kelly is sick, she is out to get bethenny, who thank god is safe and has had her beautiful baby! How dare kelly say she was attacked, she was never attacked at all. Kelly is blaming bethenny for her being in the press, kelly is on a reality show, when you do a reality show, you are going to be in the press. I think this big she/man kelly is inhaling way to much exhaust as she runs in the streets of new york daily that is obviously messing up her allready damaged brain, schizophrenia is what kelly has obviously and she is dangerous, she should of been placed in a straight jacket and committed that night of taping. Now she is saying that it was all because she was attacked, ugh, get her off this show, she is just sick and pathetic.
(Quoting from here: http://www.realitytea.com/2010/05/26/nyc-housewives-alex-mccord-kelly-acted-much-crazier-in-real-life-plus-reunion-filming-today/)
"It’s been days since the infamous meltdown of Kelly Bensimon on the Real Housewives of New York City, and interestingly enough, all the housewives who went on the November yacht trip continue to echo the same sentiment: What we saw on TV was actually tame in comparison to what really took place in real life.
The latest housewife to speak out is Alex McCord. “It was much more [crazy] in real life,” says Alex to Usmagazine. “Much more crazy!” According to Alex, the editing actually made Kelly look “better.”
“I remember the first time that Kelly mentioned that she thought I was channeling the devil. It was in the middle of the soup course!” Alex tells Us. “That wasn’t the first time that had happened. Throughout the trip, it just came out of the blue.”
And although Alex, Sonja Morgan, Bethenny Frankel and Ramona Singer initially found Kelly’s outbursts amusing, they quickly realized her tantrums were no laughing matter.
“Sonja was the one who pegged it at one point, saying, ‘Wow. We’re dealing with someone who is not being rational. We have to stop,’” explains Alex. “There was definitely a moment when we all clicked into realizing we had to stop picking part all the insane things being said because there’s a reason beyond anyone’s control, beyond her control.”
