While Jill Zarin has on many occasions been referred to as a “blogger’s dream” due to her many faux pas this season – think babygate, amazongate etc. Well I’m here to debunk that notion, as her co-star Kelly Bensimon is the REAL blogger’s dream.
The Real Housewives of New York City star, who might or might not be in dire need of anti-psychotic meds, is simply the gift that keeps on giving. For starters, the above picture of Kelly was taken just this week on July 7th as she attempted to hail a cab in the streets of NYC. As if the above photo as well as more nutty photos of her from the hail a cab event weren’t good enough to make a story, Kelly then proceeded to write some more nonsensical rants on her twitter page, that is of course, when she’s not busy linking non flattering articles and videos of herself to her followers.
“enjoy what the press writes. everyone needs content, let them use my tweets, youtube.com videos whatever they need. its content,” is perhaps the only tweet Kelly wrote that actually made sense. And thank you Kelly for all the crazy content you give.
It all started when some sites and blogs started writing about her insane starvation diet. You know the one she shared with Star magazine that has her eating 2 oranges for breakfast, brown rice, broccoli and tofu for lunch, and salad with shrimp for dinner, six days a week. Well she received a lot of criticism, deservedly so, for her starvation diet, which is even more unhealthy when you add in the fact that this woman runs in NYC traffic 6 – 7 times a week.
Kelly re-affirmed that she does indeed eat that diet via twitter but denied the diet is 700 calories a day as claimed by many blogs. She tweeted, “the kkb diet is am: two oranges, lunch: veggies, brown rice, and tofu with any sauce, dinner: 2 chicken breasts/salad. 7 day: off,” later adding, “texaminer. I said it was 700 calories which is humanly in possible. Sorry examiner, gotta call u out.” I’m guessing she meant to add a ‘never’ in front of said, and the examiner is a site the publishes blogs, one of which criticized her diet.
Well let’s examine the KKB diet then shall we. The calorie count comes directly from WebMD’s food calorie counter.
Breakfast – 2 oranges: 124 Calories (Medium sized orange at 62 cals per orange)
Lunch – Brown rice, tofu and broccoli: 356 Calories (1 cup Brown rice – 216 cals, 1 cup brocolli – 52 cals, 1/2 cup tofu – 88 cals)
Dinner – Salad with shrimp: 192 Calories (1.5 cup Salad with shrimp with no dressing – 106 cals, dressing – Italian, 2 Tbs – 86 cals)
Total: 672 Calories
So Kelly Bensimon eats a diet of 672 calories a day, assuming she uses 2 tablespoons of salad dressing instead of one. The 700 calories the other blogs dubbed her diet is apparently generous. “I run eveyday for 2miles and do 30 lunges on each leg,” tweeted Kelly. A 42-year-old woman who runs two miles seven days a week is only taking in 672 calories a day folks! Eating disorder anyone?
The nuttyness doesn’t end with the diet. Kelly also stated she would only return for a 4th season of the NYC Housewives “if they upgrade the cast to REAL New York A-list women.”
Below are more interesting tweets by Kelly:
“bullying doesnt discriminate. its ugly and pointless.”
“i wish they’d show the real me. kids, dogs, horses, creativity,charity,and hard work doesn”t sell. people like fighting.”
“crazy sells. noone likes the nice girl. reality tv is meant to entertain. talk shows teach/preach.”
“PLAYBOY had an outreach of 239 million. i want to do it again at 50.”
“reality tv should be about REAL people, not fabricated reality stars. its a bad example for women. i want people to aspire to greatness”
These my folks, are the worlds of a self proclaimed Colombia Columbia graduate. Really nothing else to add at this point but I do have to ask the question, does Kelly have “people” working for her? You know like a publicist or manager of some sort to advise her against making an asinine anti bullying PSA video, or tell her not to share a 700 calories a day diet with millions of people. Perhaps its time for her loved ones to step in and start feeding her, while also taking away her internet twitter access.
Bethenny Frankel also made a funny when she said this week that “The whole of NBC Universal doesn’t have enough money for me to hang out with Jill and Kelly right now.” Can you blame her? NBC Universal owns the Bravo network by the way.
TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON KELLY’S DIET? DO YOU THINK SHE HAS AN EATING DISORDER?

no more Kelly drinks for me!
Thanks, abarts, I appreciate the thought! My point was that without proper nutrition, your hair and nails and skin all deteriorate. You have to have the correct balance of proteins and fats, vitamins and minerals in order to keep your hair and skin supple and silky. Once my doctors were able to find the correct mixture for me, my hair stopped falling out and returned to it’s pre-illness silkiness. I was heartbroken because I lost almost half of my hair and the re-growth is much finer than previously. I wore these little poufs of ‘hair’ that I got at Sephora for a LONG time. Kelly’s hair and skin look as though she is nutritionally lacking, as the texture of her hair appears to be like straw and her skin simply looks like leathery chew toys for dogs. I don’t think that her diet contains enough of anything to keep a woman of her height and age functioning in top condition. Her rambling speech and random interjections also make me question her brain function, as well. Nutrient rich foods would go a LONG way for Kelly – I’m not saying all of her problems can be blamed on poor nutrition, but I think it is something that bears watching by the appropriate healthcare professionals. Her children need to be monitored, as well, to insure their nutritional needs are met.

I’m with you. I’m glad you were able to get the help that was needed to improve your health.
You know, what really irks me, is these women claim to have all the riches in the world, but won’t utilize the time or money to spend it on their health. Only their vanity.
Of course, Kelly thinks lipo is unhealthy, and multiple boob jobs are natural.
I’m convinced she was a man at some point. Complete speculation. Allegedly. Don’t want to be sued!
Wow joan, thank you for sharing.
I am so sorry about your health crisis, however I am so glad you’ve recovered and are able to post about the diagnosis, treatment, and your recovery.
I hope Kelly reads your posts and learns a little something.
There is no substitute for nutrition.
She should have had the nutritious meal Bethenny prepared. Maybe then she wouldn’t have had a mental “breakthough” as she did.
Lots of {{{hugs}}} to you!
Scarlette Begonia
Love to you joan, your in my prayers.
Hey abarts, Scarlette, Eva, Pixie, Exposed xxoo
@55 – Dy
I’m so ready for Monday’s episode with square boobs..Jafar…I mean Danielle.
Of course, I will not have any alcohol like Kelly. Unless it’s Corona, Petron (tequila) and lemonade. It’s nothing but unprocessed for me.
Oddly, I’m off Monday – work three 12-hour shifts a week at the medical center.
I’m so ready, and ready for weave pulling show down!
Hi abarts
Holy Freakin’ Canoli am I ready for the smack- I mean Weave Down!..
What whever cocktail you want, I’ve got it for you My Love!
12 hr. shifts.. Are you a doctor, nurse, Tech?
Thank you for your kindness, I do appreciate all of you! I’ve long acknowledged that God only gives us what we can handle at one time, so I know that I can survive each of my trials. When I think that I’m overwhelmed, I always see someone whose suffering is so much more than my troubles and I just keep going. That’s all I can do, right? I apologize for sharing my personal issues for those of you that hate that sharing that we often do.
What we see in Kelly is shocking and scarey in so many ways. We see her raising two seemingly well-adjusted daughters when she often acts more of a child than they – or on the same mental age as her daughters. She runs through traffic in NYC – and we all know that this is just asking for someone to smash right over her – road rage pouring through a NY cab driver? Are you kidding me? We see her having melt-downs all while snacking on “unprocessed” gum berries and jelly beans; believing she is a victim of systematic bullying and referencing the Irish girl that killed her self because SHE was a victim of bullying. She continues to astonish me every time I see that she is once again putting herself on display, especially after she taunted Bethany about being in the media. The new man in her life? I really think that guy was her twin – too many facial and body similarities. I truly do believe that she has a mixed bag of issues in her life right now, and I would say that poor nutrition is at the heart. She may be a good person, but with her oddities, who can find the real Kelly? I have to wonder what Gilles thinks about her escapades this past year? Having him in the same building must be a comfort for her daughters and hopefully they have a safe place to fall when they need one.
Hey joan,
I totally get where you are coming from in your first paragraph. My thought is ( after alot of crying ) is this is what I have been dealt,and I have to deal. It took a minute to get there,but I did.I have you and the others on this board that we know that are going through some rough stuff in my prayers every single night.
My thoughts on Kelly.. She’s in her own world and likes it there.
Lady Dy,
Check Yahoo – I sent you a note.
I keep lookking at that header picture of Kelly grinning like the grinch of kookieness. I cant get that picture out of me mind!!! She is as crazy is crazy in the worst way.. what a shlubb
The poor thing looks crazier every time I see her.
@54 Scarlette,
You’re a clever, very clever, chick!!
Don’t stay away so long…we need your input!!
Eva xoxo
(Something’s not right here…IDK….had to mention)
My post @63 cut off….
that we need your well-adjusted-attitude
…JMO
Eva <3
Kelly’s diet is as nutty as she is. This gal seems to have too many disorders. I agree with Bethenny 100%!
We don’t know if she follows this diet anyway!!! Remember how she said on the reunion that one day she feels one way and then the next day she has the priority to change her mind hence the not drinking comment followed by how she loves chicken wings and beer and patron. I bet she’s getting off on having people talk about her because to her any publicity is good publicity that allows her to be “charitable”.
Ooops! I meant perogative not priority
Oops! I meant perogative not priority. Sorry
I think when age shared her diet, she also included a beer… Add that to the total amount of calories.
I am sure she eats more than she is claiming… Yes she is very thin… But I don’t think she is unhealthy thin. I think she deliberately forgot extra calories she has during the day…
Lord knows she can’t complete a sentence… She obviously can’t complete her menu.
I apologize if these links have been posted before, however with Kelly Bensimon and Danielle Staub’s behavior this season, I wanted to share the articles and discussions on jezebel and the Daily Beast regarding Bravo’s lack of responsibility in casting:

There is no way that I would ever want to look like her. That pic of her in the bikini running is giving me nightmares. She needs lots of help!
@Scarlotte #70 Thanks for posting the links. I like Bravo (my guilty pleasure watching some of their shows!)…but I also think they placed REAL lives in danger casting Danielle and giving her a tv platform. Look at her rap sheet…the list is long….this is the SAME woman, not a changed woman.
#43 In agreement with you. I bet one of Dyana’s Cosmos that Kelly’s attention seeking tweets/photo ops will start to fade away once Bethenny’s show is over.
Maybe Kelly and Jill have more in common then we realized. I think Jill is attacking Alex because she is becoming successful in several areas of her life (like Bethenny) while Jill’s triumphs have flatlined. Bethenny now has everything that Kelly had, more then what Kelly had and Kelly’s career and life is stagnating. They remind me of two people using each other to keep from drowning in the ocean.
Okay the top photo of Crazy Kelly looks like Jack Nicholson from The Shining…Here’s Kelly.
a like how she walks on the countless second MV.but i leave the rest for her fans.
i dont like man muscles on a woman’s body with no brain.
