A blogger’s dream, Kelly Bensimon, is back in the headlines once again. This time around the Real Housewives of New York City star attempts to defend herself against those pesky crazy ‘rumors’ in the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine.
And nothing says I’m not crazy like the above photo. We’re guessing the theme of the photo was meant to be fighting back, but all we see is a crazy lady with boxing gloves.
“I am not crazy. I am unpredictable,” declares Kelly, adding, “I’m not in therapy.” Interesting words coming from the 42-year-old mother of two who accused her co-stars of being “dangerous” and “unpredictable” during the reunion show. And in next month’s Glamour magazine, Kelly will declare, ‘I’m not crazy guys! Just a little dangerous.”
Things get even better as Bravo VP Andy Cohen also spoke to the magazine. “I think it was deeply disturbing. It seemed like she had a break of some kind, but I can’t say exactly what it was,” said Andy of the infamous St. John breakdown. Could Andy’s comments be a hint regarding Kelly’s unlikely return for another season? Perhaps.
And when it comes to her co-stars, Kelly has convinced herself is convinced they are jealous of her: “Whether it’s my nail color, my hair color, or the shoes I’m wearing, everything about me bothers them…They want to go to the parties I go to, they want to hang out with me, they want to do the things that I’m doing.” Her co-stars are about as jealous of her the same way Taylor Swift is jealous of Lindsay Lohan.
So how does Kelly explain her behavior to her two young girls? “I tell my girls, ‘Your mom gets paid to engage in inappropriate behavior.’ It’s an amazing opportunity for them to see that being mean is not okay. I tell them, ‘If you’re in a situation like this, walk out. Don’t come back with jelly beans.’” So in Kelly lala land, it’s okay for adults to engage in inappropriate behavior as long as they are getting paid?
And folks, you simply cannot make this up. The best writers in Hollywood couldn’t make this up. The August issue of Harper’s Bazaar hits newsstands July 20.
i’m either stupid or confused because how is telling your daugthers you “get paid to engage in inappropriate behavior” “an opportunity for them to see that being mean is not ok”?
doesnt it teach them being mean pays?
she is insane and delusional!
Case & Point….Kelly’s sticks her foot in her mouth EACH and EVERY time she opens it…
None of what she says makes sense to me…
I need a Kelly’s brain thoughts translated to English version…
Kellamity is krazier than Ramona’s eyes in the Brooklyn Fashion show.
How I hope she accidentally punched herself in the face in that photo shoot!
Dizzy twitch!
This woman is delusional, being a mother is full time, and not telling your daughters lies. Like Danielle, inappropriate behavior isn’t okay under any situation! Both these women will one day be judged by their daughters when they become adults. They will act out by example, or let others know how they felt about their mothers actions. The one huge area they could act out is their future male relationships. Let’s hope these stupid vipid and demented women pay for counseling for these young women, their daughters.
Can’t wait to see your blog about her 1 hour Q&A on Twitter this morning! I hope she finds the help and peace she needs for her kids’ sake. Although I know I wouldn’t be able to turn away if she comes back for another season, I hope Bravo doesn’t ask her to return.
Schizophrenic’s are unpredictable too…. I’m just saying
No…youre predictable and a raving lunatic and a bitch and a green eyed monster who looks like a burnt piece of bacon!
Rhonda I read this and thought the same thing! Also I just read Theresa’s blog so I’m very confused. Bravo does pick winners. Kelly is crazy as is Danielle. Theresa claims that she’s not in debt, but it’s a lie spread by Danielle?!? I must live on another planet.
LMFAO!!! OMG, Kelly, I thought “unpredictable” people were “dangerous”? I just really don’t know what else to say…….
I’ll leave it to the rest you on here. Have at it. lol
When I read Kelly’s words, I need a translator.
Every housewives franchise has a crazy on there:…
Kelly > NY
Danielle (equally tied with Teresa now – especially after last night) > NJ
Lynn > OC
Kim Z. > Atlanta
All crazies in there own “special” way…
Her costars are jealous of her? I would love to hear Jill and Lou Ann respond to that. I already know what the rest of them would say. Kelly may not be on anyone’s team next season if she keeps spewing her crazy on everyone.
Speaking of crazy and returning next season. If Bravo has her back next year they are just as crazy as she is. To paraphrase Caroline: “This is a volatile situation.”
Bravo had a producer(s) on that island, presumably not trained in handling mental health problems, put in the scary position of handling someone who was delusional and on an emotional roller. Bravo is lucky things didn’t escalate any more than they did. But, since Kelly doesn’t think there is anything wrong with her behavior, Bravo’s luck may not hold next season.
a. kelly will be back.
b. nothing is worse than not knowing you have issues. deep, deep issues.
Once again, Kelly isn’t all that off with her statements, it’s just the delivery that makes her seem Coo Coo for Cocoa puffs.
I think she’s def spot on with the jealousy. Although it was mean, Kelly was right with telling Bethenny she’s beneath her. Bethenny was a nobody before the show, Kelly was in muliple magazines before Real Housewives even came to NYC to film the 1st season. Kelly had everything that Bethenny was struggling desperately to get: family, career, money.
As far as the rest of the women being jealous…ummm NO. They have exactly what she has: an old fart who upgraded their lifestyle
RT,
You are right. You cannot make this stuff up. With that said, PLEASE give us a break from KKB. We get it, she’s crazy! It’s been fun, but now it’s simply irritating. Can we put a day or two between KKB postings, please? I absolutely love Reality Tea, but my excitement of opening your webpage turns to dismay when it’s KKB once again!
Appropriately named,
Over It
@15 Uh-Oh Lauren.. Your gonna catch it now.. I do happen to agree with you.
If she is so crazy as the public see’s then why isn’t this woman getting help. Where is the father of her children? Obviously she’s nuts so how come she’s free to walk around being crazy. It doesn’t make sense.
What is it with the Housewives resident crazies these days wearing boxing gloves???
Danielle and Kelly.
Oh the other hand…Danielle and Kelly in the ring..I’d pay to watch that:) PPV Anyone? Pretty certain Danielle would swoop in on that one.
HMR- Excellent point. I can’t make any sense of KKB either. She may be impossible to define because she doesn’t know who she is either or who/what she wants to be.
Dyana and Lauren, I just don’t get why there is a need to compare her to Bethany? I see no similarities here at all. I don’t think either was ever really jealous of the other as they have nothing in common.
RT:
Please don’t ever stop with the Kelly Krazies.
To quote Teresa: “Love, love, love!”
@20 Kate I just happened to agree with Lauren comment.
Could you imagine if Teresa and Kelly were on the same show…What the HECK would Kelly do?!…claim systematic bullying…say Teresa is Satan herself?!…go run for Jelly Beans and Gummi Bears to calm Teresa down?!…perhaps build Teresa & Joe a house out of Gummy Bears so they have a place to call their own….
things that make you go ummmm…..
Ok, so she say’s ” mommie is getting paid to engage in inappropriate behavior”… SO IS A HOOKER…does that mean prostitution OK????
WOW! She’s out there that’s for sure. Who would be jealous of a loon?
WHAT AN IDIOT!
I can’t stand her. HWY DOES SHE EVEN GET THAT MUCH PRESS?
People should start boycotting anything with Kelly’s face on it so it wont sell and she would never put her face out there again.
New Headline
NYC Housewife Kelly Bensimon: “I’m Not Crazy, Just Unstable”
@26 I agree. Bravo needs to get rid of her.
Why is this s#@t-bird getting so much attention? The more attention she gets from the media, the more it will encourage her craziness!
Does anyone think she really believes the other HW’s are jeolous of her or do u think she just makes these comments in her attempts to stay relevant and or exposed?
I mean REALLY… the other housewives have so much more in their lives w/great careers, husbands, boyfriends, lovers. She doesn’t appear to really have much except getting her photo in / on “d” class gossip papers.
sorry RT excluding u of course.
Only sane people go to therapy or for help in trying times. The really insane people run around screaming “I’m perfect-I’m normal!”. I have a sister-in-law that had a break from reality in her 20′s, that she has never recovered from 30 years later, and believe me, she has no idea there is anything wrong with her.
I want Kelly to continue commenting because she is her own worst enemy!
@15 I must disagree. Kelly married (and divorced) well but that doesn’t make her “better” than anybody else. I don’t consider who a woman screws to be a gauge of her value. Bethenny may have had a disfunctional family but there must have been some dough since she went to boarding school. Bethenny could have taken the easy route and married for big bucks. She didn’t. She married for love. Good for her. She has worked hard for years and has made her brand….and she has the success she always wanted. I will always respect character and work ethic over sleeping one’s way to the top.
Anybody who watched the Scary Island episodes of RHNY saw that Kelly has a serious problem. Anybody who has dealt with mental illness in his/her own life saw that Kelly has a serious problem. Those episodes were when the show stopped being fun. Being wealthy, hopefully she has a support system that allows her to be in denial while still getting the activities of daily living accomplished. Maybe Jill can pick up after her.
@St. Louis- I agree with you 100%. Think what you may about Bethenny but she worked long and hard to get where she is now. Major difference between the two. Kelly only got as far as she did once she married Gilles Bensimon and when they divorced she lost all those “prestigious jobs and titles” which is obviously letting us know that they only put up with her because of him. Poor thing that Kelly is. Talking about a great life does not one make!!!!
I will take the Bethenny route when it comes to describing Kelly’s behavior….she is delusional and does not live in the world we live in and it is sad that people play into her stupidity.
Great story on the Housewives!

Hmmm, unpredictable……No. Crazy. Batshit crazy actually.
So basically its okay to be a prostitute right Kelly? She is beyond stupid.
I am convinced she is absolutely nuts, but the comic value she provides is priceless. I know I shouldn’t laugh at her, but she really asks for it when she says and does the things she does, how can I not????
When is this ridiculous old hag gonna go away?!! Cocaine must be a hella va drug!!
You’re psychotically unpredictable and unstable. Word it any way you want but the bottom line is: your nuts lady.
No doubt about it…Kelly IS CRAZY !!!! lol
I am convinced that Kelly has mild Asbergers and it’ s never been diagnosed – compounded with narcissitic personality disorder.
Regarding the Asbergers: the most compelling posts, blogs every where have been from comments from real life family members who have loved ones with Asbergers. They clearly are picking up on telling clues in Kellys’ behavior the rest of us – are not. (who aren’t first hand familiar with the syndrome.
She manages her anxiety due to the above – with occasional drugs. She did that at the Virgin Islands.
Through out her life – her family – friends handlers – have been thinking her as quirky, unconventional, playful, childlike, fun….
and they have handled her as such. Like a large playful child.
And of course she thinks of herself as all of those things – PLUS “she is authentic and has tons of integrity.” (her words for herself through the Real Housewives’ season).
I suspect that only since her divorce ( 4 yrs ago) that this is beginning to unfold and be seen and she is having difficulty managing – - her life.
I will never forget – her final on camera revealing honest “admission” at the season #3 Reunion show: when the talking gets to be too much – “she turns the column down to # 2.” Ask any parent of an Aspie – and they will explain that to you.
Stay tuned.
Reality Tea – Do keep the pictures and info coming. This is just getting interesting.
She is insane,do not bring her back.Some is going get hunt.
