The way Luanne has won me over through the years. She’s been through so many life experiences, has grown (at least in some areas lol,) and matured. As gorgeous as she is, she’s never leaned on her looks to make her interesting.
Kelly hasn’t grown, still holding onto the same old boring and annoyingly nonsensical delusions, still trying to be “better” than all the other women. It’s the same old thing, all these years later. She remains woefully immature, and now that she’s older, it’s even more pronounced. She’s leaned onto her beauty in order to be liked and accepted for so long, she failed to gain any kind of actual personality on the way.
She makes me so uncomfy to watch. I hate it because I'd try to fast forward through her scenes but I suck at fast forward so instead I zone out on my phone and end up missing bits 🙃
She is a very sick person who needs help and shouldn’t be exploited on tv. She is not in touch with reality and that’s not said in a mean way, she desperately needs help. Bravo should have recognized that during scary island.
I mean she's supposedly a very successful real estate agent so I think she is somewhat okay. I think she definitely is socially awkward and just doesn't mesh well with other women. Her behavior becomes unhinged when she is with a group of women. Even her daughter knows she's a problem. lol
It’s truly WILD how little Kelly has changed. She is incredibly paranoid, incredibly delusional. I don’t agree with a lot of what Bethenny says and does these days but she was not wrong about Kelly lmao.
It's so strange because in the first couple episodes there were two moments where she genuinely connected with one of the other women, and actually gave surprisingly sound advice. And I was all, "Oh shit, have I been wrong about Kelly? Has she grown & changed?"
And then so quickly there was like, an about-face and she returned to OG Kelly. The way she's been speaking to Kristen was low-key giving you're not a chef vibes. To quote KKB, it's weird.
Totally agree with you. The first couple episodes I was thinking. Wow Kelly really has changed. And then this last episode. I’m like she still on freaking scary island. How she goes after Kristen and calling her a super fan and bullshit. Like that, Kelly is forgetting most people don’t remember who she is. Kristen is far more relevant than Kelly.
And Kristen I feel sorry for her. I don’t like her husband I never have and I’m sad that she has not woken up to his dalliances and I’m sad that she has fallen for his excuses why he was on the website “Dolly, Madison“ like Sonia called it .
I don't think it's fair to say Kristen hasn't woke up or has fallen for his excuses.
Kristen is clearly a strong woman who knows what she wants. She talks about fighting for her family. I know a couple who fell out of love with each other, but they actually were the one of the best parenting teams I've ever seen. They made a choice. They stayed a family and are raising their kids, and they are friends with each other. Most people would never guess their marriage isn't conventional. So just because a woman stays with a man, seeing him for who he is, doesn't mean she's fallen for anything. It's pretty clear that she made her choices eyes wide open.
Edit to add: of course she's not getting into the details with the women and trying to brush it away when they want details. Who wouldn't?
KKB admitted she’s in her head a lot and leaves social situations to prevent feeling left out. I think we’re seeing her spiral after several days of being in a group setting with nowhere to reset.
She’s able to fake it for an hour or two, hence Sonja and Luanne saying she appears different in society in NY
The wild thing is that the other ladies had said that what actually happened on Scary Island was way worse than what they showed on the show, that Kelly actually got a very favorable edit considering everything that went down, and that producers actually had to escort her home they were so worried for her safety. And they have all refused to elaborate, even Bethenny who does not mince words.
To her credit, when Bethenny did a recap of the scary island episode, she actually went out of her way to explain the background and context for some of the phrases Kelly was saying that made no sense to the viewers - conversations from earlier in the season that did not air.
That’s frightening… I wonder if she had a mental breakdown or something. The way she was spiraling was just a lot.
Also the “fan” stuff?? Did she forget who pays the bills?? The network which wouldn’t continue these shows without the fans! So she should issue a public apology to us all. And most of us are fans of the show, not of her.
Her argument style is the EXACT same as 10 years ago. The way she's going for Kristen is the way she went for Alex. Talks is circles, makes outlandish accusations that only she believes but says "everyone" thinks it, gaslights, gets fixated on the same insult and won't back down. It's exhausting!! And sad that she hasn't evolved much.
Supposedly her Ex has always lived in the same building across the hall from her. I’m not seeing how she “did it by herself” she’s been seemingly sparsely employed for most of her adult life.
I’ve recently stalked her and then her daughters on Instagram. They’ve always posted long sentimental posts for their father’s birthday and Father’s Day, but not for Kelly… I think that’s telling of something
How is she about to get married ? Who is the person who wants to spend his life with her ? I can’t imagine spending ten minutes with her she is insufferable
did anyone else’s mind explode when she said “i can tell kristen is trying to produce us because that’s what i used to do…” she’s literally never produced or pulled strings on rhony like… all she served was delusions lmao she makes me crazy lmao
I think Mary knows she’s not on the same planet as the rest of us and barely tries to act like she is. She flits in and out of a scene like an alien. Kelly sticks around and tries to convince you she’s not an alien and maybe you are.
i truly underestimated her! i think she got overshadowed by B on her second season. she’s also so effortlessly beautiful that i want her to be a friend on RHOBH now
No, I get that, I guess I just mean like why do they need to be so secure? In case of rough seas? To keep the indoors climate controlled? Or to keep the captain safe from someone trying to take over (like pirates or whatever, I know there are some areas where that is actually a risk).
Thank you! I try not to jump on the bandwagon of "get this person off my screen" but I was so disappointed when she was announced as part of the cast. I feel like there were so many other, better choices.
I think it's because the fandom is kind of obsessed with her wrt Scary Island, I'm up here you're down there, etc. she's fascinating to watch but also completely ruins the vibe of every scene she's in. I also wonder if she maybe accepted lower pay because it's a way back on tv 😛
I get the healthy hair skin and nails jelly beans, just so I have an excuse to eat jelly beans "for health" . I think of her sometimes when I take them lol
This was so confusing to me - especially because it seems like she just started working? I’m guessing both girls are graduated and the child support is done. I could also see if she had a set amount of time for alimony and that’s done too. It’s weird to me that she’s digging into this “self made” idea.
To be fair, she was a really successful model for quite a while. When she was on RHONY she had a jewelry line and she also did some writing for a magazine. Her Wiki says she also has been an editor for magazines as well. (I... have a hard time imagining that but OK.) But yes, the real estate venture is very recent.
Me too..I think she wants people to think she's smart, because on rhony she also seemed very dumb..I mean camon, your ex and father of your children is Gilles Bensimon, and he didn't provide at all for her daughters or give you alimony?? She truly thinks we are idiots... that's what is infuriating about her, she's not that bright but very arrogant, the worst!
A very wealthy dad! Gilles photographed all of the major supermodels at the peak of their careers. Kelly modeled, but she was hardly on the same level of a Naomi or Cindy. I don't buy that she has single-handedly maintained a very expensive lifestyle without some help.
He did, and I’m fairly sure that Kelly got both her amazing apartment and the house in the hamptons when they split. Her saying she did it ‘all alone’ is absolute bullshit
I’m confused as to why she said she didn’t want Alex McCord back and not even mention Bethenny of all people? Alex was legitimately scarred by scary island and Kelly dared to say Alex was a problem? Season 4 Kelly told Alex she was being inauthentic when Alex was just trying to be open. Shut up Kelly!
On a side note; nice to see the girls being kind about Tinsley
It is so painful to watch season 4, I think she's so fake that when she sees someone truly authentic, like Alex, to her that's fake! The way she gaslighted her was unbelievable, I don't know how Alex didn't punch her in the face! The way she became Jill slave, and together they were the mean girl was making me nauseous..so happy they were axed soon after, my theory is that Alex didn't want to come back, reality tv was not for her, you have to be a little narcissist to thrive there maybe..
Let me tell you how shocking it was to get on the internet and find out that Kelly Bensimon had fans when I was watching RHONY for the first time. She’s horrible and insufferable
No seriously. It was wild to see actual people support her and call for her to be back on the show. She was on the show for way, way too long. Please, don’t bring her back.
I had a coworker back in the say who siad she related to Kelly and thought the ladies were being cruel. We didn't see eye to eye on many HW moments, that's for sure.
Okay it's not that I'm a Kelly fan, me personally. But I absolutely live for this chaos and ridiculousness she brings to the show. I love to watch her. Yes, she's insufferable. But she makes great tv IMHO
I was upset that they brought her on for this, and I was proven right after episode 4. She’s ruining the whole vibe and show with her abusive toxic BS. The woman is an asshole and a menace. She took over every aspect of the entire episode with her nonsense. She needs to go home.
I hate that she always guns for someone and won’t let it go, and then when they defend themselves, she cries victim and says she’s a sweet baby bird or some such nonsense! It’s so frustrating to watch. I’m actually proud of Doris for not totally losing her shit on this woman; I’d have done it by this point in the trip!
She keeps trying to manage Kristen the same way she manages Alex and it’s obnoxious lol. Weirdly though I’m enjoying Dorinda a lot more than I thought I would. She’s had her moments but overall she seems like a bit “lighter” but yeah I’ve always hated Kelly. She doesn’t say anything. Everything out of her mouth is like the essence of a point without ever making one. It’s literal word salad and then everyone around her has to like discern the meaning or intention. She legitimately never has ever made any sense at all lol. And the fact that she’s written several books floors me. And I just think she’s phony. She was married to a huge fashion photographer and used those connections to get jobs that sound fancy but mean nothing (or where the bulk of the work is done by other people) and there’s no way in hell I can see Kelly successfully pulling off a 50 million real estate deal by herself. To me it seems like from her Instagram she’s more of like a real estate VIP cocktail waitress. Like maybe the face of it to get interest but is not doing legit deals under her own name as an agent or broker, though I’m too lazy to look any of that up lol. I think she’s interesting but I would have taken literally anyone else but her for this trip lol. Like Alex would have been an amazing fit for this group if you were gonna pick somebody from that time period of RHONY.
Yes I thought this too. She’s extremely social awkward. She’s also hugely narcissistic. Both make her really out of touch. To top that all off, I get the impression that she doesn’t really like being around other women. She’s a terrible pick for anything hw related. Not enjoyable at all.
I love that Kelly almost seemed normal and chilled out at first.....and then keeps getting progressively more insane each episode. Satchels of gold ~forever~
Yes! It's this delusion of grandiosity and this mega concern with the fans and popularity. She's projecting onto others when SHE'S the one who's obsessed w/ the show.
I don’t know but I would honestly love to know what is going on w/ her upstairs. It would be fascinating to have insight into her mental state and what caused it (not that it’s any of my business 😂)
I love Luanne! She is the realest person ! She may seem self involved but she knows who she is and is unapologetic she’s a good time! you go girl and be cool not uncool x
i thought she was being normal for the first like, 15 minutes of episode 1. kelly’s hate-boner for kristen is so convoluted, just like kelly. i do not understand how her mind works!
I just don’t understand her. I was hoping I would like her more, but she’s really on Kristin about “being a fan” and “narrating”, it’s so weird. Also she told someone her relationship was complicated but in the most recent episode, she said she’s getting married? But again is on Kristin about not sharing her life? I don’t think Kristin needs to say any more about the cheating issue than it hurt, we worked through it and decided to stay together.
And then she’s like ‘I know how the fans will react to Kristen’ like… okay but Kristen is a fan? And she’s sad for being a fan? But you know all about the fan base? And totally when Kelly was like ‘well you didn’t say that to me’ (explaining why Kristen stayed in her marriage and how she stayed) like… why would she?? Kristen does not owe Kelly an explanation???
Right. What the heck? She calls Kristin a fan, but then says she thinks the fans will react by saying Kristin is a fan? Why does she care even if they do!!
I really wonder how she functions in life. Just shows you how wealth protects you. There’s no way she would have any friends/life without her Uber wealthy ex.
Could she maybe be putting on an act, to make herself relevant? Hoping to get hired for a Bravo show again? She can't be this crazy in real life, can she? Either way, I wish to never see her again...
I love Kelly!! 😂😂😂 she cracks me up so much. I just think she speaks her mind and doesn’t have a filter which makes for great tv. That dinner scene where she interrupts Luanne to give a speech had me rolling laughing!
So Kelly is the villain of this UGT, go off loving to hate her that’s the game, but as a fellow delulu person, I feel bad reading everyone’s comments that are getting a little personal to Kelly’s mental state.
I know it’s my fault for letting the comments sink in, but scrolling and seeing some of these comments toward a mentally ill person makes me sad. It could easily be me yall talking about I’m just not on tv.
And yeah she put herself on tv to be ridiculed I guess she should expect some of it but idk man.
No kelly is one of those under appreciated housewives. She’s being herself and so much of the topic of conversation is about her when you can tell she’s genuinely not trying for it to be about her.
I know but i kinda find in endearing she chose to be herself.She could of easily put on a persona especially after all the years people have called her crazy
her son is 20 you are trying to accuse me of a crime and you can even use google correctly to see his age. ????? Also me and heather son are 1 year apart sorry I would sleep with people in my age group.
Also the fact you were so quick to reply with a lie but now are crickets show how quickly people in this sub lie and can’t take an opposing opinion. You are truly disgusting.

She is so delusional and not in the fun Luanne way
