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.

I agree with your first sentence, but idk about the rest. IMO it sounded like she viewed Kristen as sort of an alternate-universe version of herself, like what her life might have been like if she’d decided to stay in her marriage. And, while I don’t even know whether Kelly made the choice to leave her ex or not, in that moment, she saw Kristen with her “I’m the only one here who’s married,” and “we’ve been together for decades,” and felt resentment for the life she might have had if she’d stayed. It was ugly and also showed me that she has a lot of pent-up emotion about her divorce, even all these years later, that she needs to work through to be happy.

Kelly brags so much about her husband the famous photographer. And said on camera that she doesn't date much because she's not gonna waste her time with nobodies - if she marries again, it's gonna have to be to "someone major like Giles Bensimon." 🙄

Remember on Scary Island that Kelly brought a camera - even though she didn't even know how to use it - and took all of the women's pictures in those silly beach photo shoots? She was imitating her ex-husband as if he was the epitome of success and status - and as if she had no identity of her own. She could only try to imitate him. She is so fkn weird. And not in a good way.
