Bethenny Frankel: Jill Never Called After The Reunion, Plus Kelly Bensimon Talks Her Hair

In the current issue of UsWeekly magazine, Bethenny Frankel, former star of Real Housewives of New York City, discusses her former castmates.

This is the same issue in which Bethenny announced she was quitting the show. When asked about her current status with former BFF Jill Zarin, Bethenny had some interesting things to say. “I was sympathetic at the reunion, but Jason said, ‘It’s all for the cameras,’” she says before adding, “I never heard from her after that.”

When it comes to Kelly Bensimon, Bethenny says her interaction with Kelly was toxic. “She said mean things. She called me a ho bag. I don’t want Bryn to hear stuff like that.” And when it comes to Kelly coming back on the show next season, Bethenny had some nicer words for the unpredictable housewife. “I hope coming back is a healthy choice for her,” said Bethenny. “It’s stressful.”

It seems Bethenny’s husband, Jason Hoppy, also played a role in her decision to leave the Housewives. “My husband was embarrassed by it,” she said. “Jason’s a different person when he’s on camera for Housewives than he is for Bethenny’s Getting Married? He just didn’t want to do it anymore.”

 

In other NYC Housewives news, in a new interview with PEOPLE magazine, Kelly Bensimon solely discusses her hair, telling the mag that everyone is obsessed with it.

“Everyone is obsessed with my hair,” Kelly told PEOPLE. “They always want to touch it.” Kelly credits her hair colorist, Bradley Irion, for giving her the amazing must-be-touched hair.

“When I met Bradley, he said, your hair has to be natural. So he literally colored my base and let my natural hair color come through. People are constantly coming up to me and touching my hair. That’s what Bradley gave me. . . this touchable, gorgeous hair that’s real,” she said adding that Bradney “even cuts my dog’s hair.”

While the article itself was unintentionally humorous, the only two comments left on the article page are likely much more funny. “I think it always, always looks dirty and stringy,” posted Anniieee. “Her hair makes her face so long. It’s also so dated. She looks like she belongs in the 80′s. Is this all this woman cares about?” posted boston02127.

UPDATE – This gets even better.  Here’s what Rob Shuter from Popeater posted on twitter:  “Off to bed! But laughing so loud that @kikilet told people everyone was obsesssed with her hair! Her PR people pitched that story! We passed.”

  1. Is there a correlation between mental illness and the constant touching of one’s own hair? Watch Kelly & Danielle–they can’t leave their hair alone for a minute! Interesting that their pride is so misplaced–both of them look so old w/their current ‘dos.

  2. @41 IJS… And, my name & email address is printed so beautifully on the right!!!

  3. too funny about kelly’s hair!! I think it looks flat and dried out. All of the other women on RHNY have way more beautiful hair than she does.

  6. Kelly B is ridiculous, who is obsessed with her hair? It looks stringy & the color makes it look fried & unhealthy. Sorry Kelly you’re Orwellian “truths” will get you no where, every time you talk about how “great” you are doesn’t make people believe it, it only makes you look desperate for attention & phony. If you were so “great” you wouldn’t have to constantly sing your own praises, there would be plenty of people/fans willing to do it. BTW, please give up on the Boho look, you do not execute it well at all, hire a stylist & find someone new to do your hair. A nose job wouldn’t hurt either.

    I would poke myself in the eyes everday if I had Kelly’s hair and had to look at it in the mirror! Here’s a clue Kelly NO ONE wants to touch that rats nest that you call hair! Just saying do with it what you will.

    I don’t color my hair but what is so amazing about “literally colored my base and let my natural hair color come through” What does that mean? Is there a new tiny holograph that you can weave into your hair and it masks your hair color? Did past hairdressers lie to her and not color her hair?

    I do not speak the Kellyspeak

  15. @64 fauxhousewive- That’s Kelly talk for I’m a dumb crazy bitch with dry ass hair.

  16. Bethenny is a total HYPOCRITE in just about every single way!

  17. Wait, I thought Kelly was a man. That jawline, those big man hands?? Her hair is so 80′s, puhleazzee.

    If there is an obsession with Kelly’s hair and people want to touch it….Me think its because they’re trying to see if there’s brain under all that mess. Seriously, these women who marry money because of thier looks really need to get over themselves…outside of her last name, who’s heard of this broad, let alone remembers her modeling days? Like these women really need to get over themselves!!

    As for Jill not contacting Bethanny….seriously, Jill realizes that hanging on the Bethanny’s coat tail for the freebee’s will have to be shared with a new husband and child and we all know, there’s not much more room left for Jill….so why try to rekindle something that’s not going to benefit you in the long term…thus the Jill/Bethanny friendship in a nut shell!!
