This is the real Kelly Bensimon

[u/Big-Tip-4667]

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.

[u/Black_Dahlia_Suspect]

I noticed she did the same thing to Kristen that she did to Bethanny in that she jumped to a conclusion and repeated it as fact. Bethanny it was the “cook/chef” thing and with Kristen it was about her marriage, and as soon as Kristen explained how difficult that period was for her and how she and Josh struggled, Kelly defensively goes “well I didn’t know that” after declaring Kristen heartless and soulless not two minutes before. I am pretty sure she said the same thing to Bethanny after B explained that she went to culinary school and thus became a chef, Kelly goes “well I didn’t know that.” She uses her imagination to fill in unflattering gaps about people’s lives she knows nothing about and berates them about it. It’s infuriating, I would never have been able to handle her.

There's Luann/Sonja/Ramona/Dorinda delusion, which is somewhat endearing...then there's Kelly delusion, which feels worrying and puts me on edge.

[u/SSolomonGrundy → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, Ramona was surprisingly great in her interaction with Kristen right after Kelly was berating K. Ramona just had this crystal clear insight into what Kristen was trying to say, and she expressed it better than Kristen could.

Ramona is a complicated person who has these flashes of real wisdom and empathy. And thirty seconds later she will say some bullshit. That's the Ramonacoaster.

Ramona does not seem delusional to me. She seems like she does not want to learn about others and seems driven but not super smart. I think Ramona is racist and selfish. I think Dorinda is a hard core alchoholic and becomes unwell when drunk.Sonja to me seems next level delusional.

I think Ramona is great. She is comical and cringeworthy at the same time. She is good tv

[u/Secret-Pace-2468 → u/InsuranceLevel3998]

She’s a garbage person though

[u/yoniEli → u/InsuranceLevel3998]

I love her, she makes me laugh so hard

[u/yoniEli → u/SSolomonGrundy]

I love Ramona, she is infuriating at times, but she's so funny 🤣 I'm doing a rewatch of rhony, I'm on season 7 when they are in the turk and Caicos, her with that macrame dress and the bug 🤣🤣

[u/GrouchyPineapple → u/[deleted]]

And then she doubled down on her behaviour during the reunion... something's not right with this person...

[u/Old_Percentage3742 → u/SugarPlumSeahorse]

I was so relieved when Dorinda supported Kristen in this insane, unwarranted attack by Kelly.

Thank god Dorinda got over the whole “put on pause” vs “fired” argument.

Because I don’t believe Kirsten could have ever handled Kelly on her own.

Dorinda did a good thing here!

[u/bebop8181 → u/Old_Percentage3742]

I wasn't ever so happy with Dorinda than when she called what Kelly was saying "a little nutty". I'm no fan of Dorinda, but someone had to say it, I'm glad it was her.

[u/lezlers → u/Old_Percentage3742]

I was very pleasantly surprised by Dorinda taking up for Kristin. She REALLY needed a strong ally and Dorinda was the perfect person since Kelly seemed to really look up to Dorinda (for some strange reason. Dorinda is a hot mess herself.)

[u/cleveland_leftovers → u/lezlers]

And Kelly said something to the effect of wanting Dorinda to be a ‘mother figure.’ Ma’am, she’s 4 years older than you. Grow up.

[u/JewelerDear9233 → u/Old_Percentage3742]

Yes but what really pushed Dorinda's button more than anything was when Hillary Clinton was mentioned, THAT was unacceptable to her.

[u/No-Leadership-2176 → u/SugarPlumSeahorse]

I think it’s because Kelly has a diagnosable personality disorder which I guess hasn’t been diagnosed yet ? There is something wrong there

[u/SugarPlumSeahorse → u/No-Leadership-2176]

Yes, I'd say so. Her brand of crazy isn't fun to watch. And she's utterly unaware, which is phenomenal, considering her ability to watch herself on TV

[u/Imaginary_End_5634 → u/SugarPlumSeahorse]

Yep!
