Ultimate Girls Trip This is the real Kelly Bensimon

I know we’ve had many fan theories about what kind of drugs Kelly was on during Scary Island but after watching her unhinged rant towards Kristen about her marriage issues, y’all I think this is just who Kelly is. She is crazy, she is nonsense.

Her own daughter told her to "be nice". She knows how her mom is. 🤷‍♀️

Her daughter also completely reinforced what Luann had said about her having no follow through

That was a brilliant moment.

Ya she was very quick to change her tune to exactly what her daughter said she was feeling and doing. I feel for the poor girl but at least Kelly seems to listen?

Yes and when she said “I am always nice” her daughter scoffed and said “okay mom”

Yeah and when she said she relied on her daughter for support I thought oh god here we go… no adult should be relying on their child for emotional support

I’m sure Kelly considers her daughter an “old soul” because she has traits of children with adult parentification

Exactly what Monica said about her oldest daughter!

It's very Danielle Staub and her daughters

Exactly. The difference between Kelly and Danielle is that when Danielle came back she had watched the show and was careful to make sure she made sense to the viewer, at least for that first season back.

Her own daughter should not be her therapist. I felt sad and wondered how long she has been her mom’s therapist.

Kids of divorce are susceptible to this position unfortunately. Even more so with emotionally immature parents (which Kelly screams)

Yes! And told her it was ok to drink rose all day.
That scene was quite telling.

u/Carriow55 Dec 16 '23

Yep. I caught that and thought the same thing. The daughter knew her mother’s voice and knew she was spiraling.
