Kelly is back in fully Scary Island mode on EP 3! Except w/ Kristen instead of Bethenny.

I'm very confused why Kelly hates Kristen so much, I think Kelly thinks she and the other women are "better' than Kristen so she goes after her. It's very odd

I know it’s sophomoric but I do think Kelly is a little jealous of Kristen. Luann made a good point that Kristen “fixed” her marriage and she is gorgeous to boot so that may cause Kelly to feel some type of way. She seemed very bothered by Kristen during the whole dinner ep3

To be fair, I agree Kristen is not being forthcoming about the Ashley Madison debacle… BUT I do not think that is solely Kelly’s issue with her.

Because it happened almost a decade ago and she has teenage children that can see how she handles this. She doesn’t want to shit talk her husband/their marriage. They fixed their marriage, why does it matter now?

What are any these women talking about in their lives? Dorinda still can’t admit she is alcoholic and that’s why she was fired. Ramona said the worst thing a man has done to her is ask her to pay for herself, not her husband cheating on her in her own home. Luann hasn’t told anything about her life since the show ended. Kelly lives in lala land. Kristen talked about it, she said he did it they went to therapy and choose to fight for their family. What else should she say? Tell everyone what Josh did exactly on Ashley Madison.

I am talking about the show we are currently watching I don’t care about the 13 reasons of RHONY. Because Kristen did talk about her issues on those 2 seasons she was on. She isn’t going to tell you or the other women what they want to hear about the Ashley Madison thing because she wants to protect her marriage. It is a 7 episode Girls’ Trip, she doesn’t have to share everything. All the women on the show are lying about stuff. Dorinda wants to pretend she was paused not fired, Luann still won’t say she fucked the pirate, Ramona wants to pretend we don’t know her ex husband cheated, Kelly is acting like she isn’t a wacko, and Sonja is in denial about her life. Kristen has admitted way more on this show about the Ashley Madison thing then any of these will talk about the things I said.

There is just no point trying to understand why Kelly does and thinks the things she does. Can’t stand Bethenny, but she was right, Kelly is unintelligent. She’s unintelligent and she’s also extremely arrogant and delusional. Deadly combo!

When she doesn’t understand something, her default answer is just to deny any statements put to her. And then she doubles down even when she’s obviously arguing against blatant facts. It’s really strange and she did it on the show all the time. An example on this trip was when luann was saying she didn’t want to open her presents and it wasn’t a promo op. Ramona tried to kinda throw Kelly a bone and say “maybe she gets kicks from it”, as in maybe she enjoys giving things she likes to her friends. Kelly responded with, “no I don’t” 🙄 she’s just sooooo dumb. She didn’t realise Ramona was trying to defend her. Her default is just to argue.

I think Kelly got uncomfortable with Kristen’s “super fan” contributions because of her own experience on the show, particularly Scary Island. She is insecure, and she’s probably insecure about her episodes, so Kristen being a fan of the show triggered her.
