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. Get off the gummy bears Kelly. Nobody wants to touch your dry ass looking hair. She’s as dumb as a rock. Sorry no offense to all the rocks out there.

  2. I’ll miss Bethenny on RHNY, but I enjoyed “BGM” even more. It’s so much more positive and light-hearded. Bethenny is always good for a few laughs. I’ll probably continue to watch RHNY, but it will definitely be lacking some pizzazz.

  3. Oh Krazy Kelly…the only reason why people want to touch your hair is to wash it…

  4. St Bethhenny you said mean stuff to Smelly Been Smokin’ too. You would not have spoken to the Yenta if she called either, Lets be real. You are no longer on the show so let the shit go.

    Smelly Been Smokin.. I have never seen your hair look nice. It always looks dirty and messy.Have you ever washed or combed it ..Geeze!

    Montana…on behalf of my pet rock…you suck! It is MUCH smarter than Kelly!

  6. @5Dyana…I think that is what people want to do…wash and comb it…hair dressers are probably the only people to “touch it”…shaking their head, I’m sure…

    This woman must be on a constant high…smelly been smokin, funny…

  7. I meant @4…for @6

  8. @6 Hi Luvs Me. lol

    @5 Hi Bob ..Lol

  9. @5 Bob – that’s why I said no offense to the rocks out there. I’m sure your pet rock is a lot smarter than Kelly, hell a blade of grass is smarter than Kelly.

    She posted all about her crappy ass hair on twitter….

    Her hair sucks. She’s delusional.

    @ 9 Montana27: And let’s not forget the pebbles and grains of sand. They’re also smarter. Is Kelly for real? I mean we all know she’s delusional. I wonder what she sees when she looks in the mirror? It’s obviously someone else’s hair.

  12. If the people at Pantene are intelligent, they would file a cease and desist order with the courts to keep her from dragging them through the mud! She claims that Pantene is the secret to her “touchable” hair! I’ve used Pantene for more than 15 years and I’ve never NEVER NEVER had hair like hers! People want to touch it to see if it’s real – it looks like she cut the mane off her favorite horse’s but and her daughters bedazzled it to her head! Pantene, Kelly? Not buying it – Lava with pumice, mmmm, yeah – that, I’d buy!

  13. I have a dead barbie, from 1977, whose hair looks better than kellys.

  14. Be Smart and listen to your husband if being on the NYC housewives isn’t fun don’t fucking do it, you got a kid now she should be your first priority

    Kelly Who!?

  15. @12 Joan… Lmao!!

    Kelly, they want to touch your hair to see if it feels like straw!

  16. Once I saw Kelly with pretty hair. I think she had picked up Danielles weave and put it on.

    Glad she mentioned the bad hairdresser, too. He should get a lot of customers now, especially dogs.

    @13 Exposed -RLMAO!!

    @16 Kate- LOL- I don’t think I’d even let him touch my dog’s hair.

  18. No, no I’m mistaken. It wasn’t Danielle’s weave she was wearing. It was KIM’s WIG that Sheree pulled off her head.

    See, Sheree felt badly for Kelly and wanted to help so that is why she ripped Kim”s wig off. Or maybe that’s why Ashley ripped off Danielles weave.

    They were all just trying to help Kellys bad hair. Now it makes sense.

  19. @13 Exposed…Hey sis! ROTFLMAO!!!!!

    That horse in KK’s apt. may just be her best friend. It can “listen” to her all day and all night, and won’t leave. I’m waiting for someone to put a styrofoam “cone” with rainbow glitter applied, and glue it on the horse. KK can then have her very own unicorn and ride off to see Al (Sharpton).

  20. @19 Laura L: Lol! That’s what I said about the horse….that she has to have a plastic one cuz anything living commits suicide after hearing her drone on about her luscious locks and gummi bears.
    Has anyone seen that dog of hers lately?

    Or, maybe once upon a time, that horse was alive, but in her presence turned to plastic, much like when medusa turns things to stone.

    Natural? Kelly’s hair has been lighten and highlighted. Beyond conceited!
    Beth is still talking about the feud? What? Mommy gagged her? Hobag? Lol! Beth uses the most foul language around Brynn. P*sy, D*ck, and was always talking about her sex life while drunk. Demented!

  22. Glad Bethenny is off the show. Liked when she interacted with Alex & Ramona.
    Jill-LOSER
    Kelly-F’ing moron to the max.

    I won’t be watching RHONY, since Jill & Kelly were asked back. Sorry to: Alex, Ramona & Sona.

  23. @20 Exposed….LMAO! Hell, if I had to listen to KK ramble for 5min, I’d turn to plastic. Either that, or I’d be so busy eating her gummy bears…chewing like crazy…trying to block out her voice. Yes, I wonder about her dog. Poor thing probably had the neighbor write a note of help, and dog signed with paw print. “Help me! Being held captive by crazy woman! Will pay high reward.” You know Jill’s dog, Ginger, has done the same.

    @13 <— LMFAO!!!

    :D

  25. @23 Laura L: too funny….Jills dog even sh*t all over her apartment in the hopes of being sent to the pound.

    Poor little creatures.

    I’d love to touch Kelly’s hair….with a weed whacker!

  27. So if satchels of gold doesn’t have Bethenny to ramble about…

    Perhaps B will write a blog! snark/snark

  28. @8 Hi Dyana…

    @13 E…lol and I bet that dead barbie is smarter than Kelly as well…just for the fact that it is silent…

    Now I’m trying to catch up on all of these Housewives shows. Whose the one feuding/feuded with Jill?

  30. @29 housewife236

    Jill was really mean to Bethenny last season, They are no longer friends, very sad to watch. Jill does not like Alex,and sometimes she gets along with Ramona,they have known each other the longest.

  31. RE: Kelly said mean things to B??? Plz

    Beotchenny is obviously delusional and still suffering from post-partum hysteria.

    Guess what Beotchenny? Bryn will get to watch all the RH-NY episodes, when she’s old enough and then she will come to a conclusion that her mother is nothing but a mean/pathetic/whore/lunatic bitch!!!

    You know, the one that trashes all her cast members on/off the show and throws ppl under the bus when it’s convenient for her; the one that pees on stick/bucket for national TV, the one that wished she had a d*ck to make love to her food. What a freaking moron!

    I guess Beotchenny wants to clean up her Madonna whore act — pretty soon she will be writing children’s books. Oy!

    Sorry, I think Jill is done kissing Beotchenny’s ass. Next?

  32. the only time kelly had clean/nice looking hair was when she was at the barn, the groom caught her, put her in the cross ties and gave her a bath and show sheened her hair.

  33. @25 Exposed…..I know. I feel so sorry for poor Ginger. She always looks so nervous. I would have a nervous breakdown if I had to be around JZ for long. Maybe Baaawwwbbby and Ginger can escape.

  34. Why is everyone so jealous of Jill Zarin? She is very sweet and everyone loves her. I think she is the prettiest of all housewives as well as the classiest. TEAM JILL!!

  35. I LOVE JILL ZARIN!!! Bye Bye Bethenny, you will NOT be missed!!

  36. Anyone notice how much the Beth and Danielle lookalike. Maybe Danielle doesn’t have far to look for her birth parents.

    OMG!!!! Kelly for real….no for real!! obsessed with your hair. UGH!!! I try to give you the benefit of the doubt, then you say some DUMB stuff as this. Man….just sit down and BE QUITE!!! Please.

  38. Its going to be interesting who interacts with Krazy Kelly and who will just put up with her Karazy or who will call her out. This is most delusional personna of all HW’s.

    I wasnt sure if Bethenny would do RHoNYC again. Some peeps call her a fame/media Huuuarree which one would think she wouldnt pass up the opportunity. She will be missed on this show in regards to the Kelly vs Bethenny ordeal. The dynamics will be different but wondering if as entertaining..

    We will see!

  39. lol…Kelly thinks everyone is trying to touch her hair? Kelly…everyone is trying to yank your ass into reality!!

  40. oops.. forgot also the Jill vs Bethenny ordeal.. Are we just gonna see fashion shows and trumped up charities?

  41. hey!! Just realized the time is back!! Cali time

  42. Can Bethanny just pop on the show as a commentator without actually being ON the show? She was always the one woman who kept it real. I predict that Jill and Luann will have a huge feud and their ending friendship will drive the drama.

    Kelly is so hopped up on gummi bears and Petrone she is cruising down the crazy highway at unicorn speed and the lollipop is going to get jammed down her throat when she crashes. Delusional does not begin to cover it!

    Beotchenny is full of skinnygirl booze and obviously is too drunk to see what a hypocrite she is. She was not open to Jill’s attempts at repentance. I don’t blame her as Jill was out of control but you don’t want to be friends with her-just let it go and don’t talk about it any longer.

    Kind of off topic-read the blogs on Bravo and played catch up on some of the posts. Alex is so ridiculous-it is okay for everyone to gang up on JZ at the NY reunion but the Joisey girls can’t let crazy, dangerous Strega have it?!?!

  44. Seriously? Kelly is so desperate for people to love her. She has the worst hair out of the bunch!

    Jill, Bethenny and even Ramona with that shorter hair loved it! LuAnn’s is short and cut nice. I tend to like longer hair myself. But I would never want to have my hair look like Kelly’s. Eww!

  45. Linda..

    Kelly is more delusional to the fact that she thinks all bad press is good press. She feels loved just having her name mentioned while criticizing/slaying her.

    Now thats delusional!

  46. #18 Kate- LOL
    Now I have a vision in my head of Kelly jogging down Fifth Ave. wearing everybody’s wigs. She is being chased by Danielle, who is being chased by Ashley Holmes who is being chased by Kim Z from Atlanta who is being chased by NeNe Leakes.
    Of course all the women are running in Stilletos, except for Kelly, who is running in Track shoes & wearing her 1968 Twiggy minidress.

  47. Why would Jill call Bethanny when she made it quite clear she was done with her? Did she need Jill to kiss her butt some more or what? Bethanny really needs to get over herself.

    Um, Kelley… If your stylist colored your base, it’s no longer natural ;-) . This woman is so stupid.

  49. @47 Barb – Jill should have called Bethenny because at the reunion Jill cried about how sorry she was and how much she wanted back in Bethenny’s life. If it wasn’t all for the cameras she would have called B and tried to set up an off camera lunch date to repair their friendship.

  50. @48 TrueLifeDiva…. Lmao!!!!! She is a moron.
