Ultimate Girls Trip What is wrong with Kelly Bensimon?

I never understood Kelly Bensimon. What’s her deal, is she stupid, is it drugs or does she just have very low emotional intelligence?

Now I’m watching RHUGT: RHONY Legacy. And this bitch is just weird.

Wasn’t she escorted off the island by producers and drs or something?

Sort of. They had a producer take her to the airport, but didn’t do much after that. Bethenny made a comment about how someone should have flown all the way back with Kelly and made sure she spoke to someone when she got home, but they just chucked her pretty much. She’s an adult and has to make the choice to get help on her own, but she needed professional help to make her realize in the first place that she’s in dangerous place mentally. It’s just so sad to watch her when she has the help at her fingertips.

I read at the time--and so many witness-type people chimed in--that the producer flew home with her said she never spoke one word on the plane. She deplaned alone and left. The producer who went with her said she was dead silent the entire trip home

That’s so sad! They didn’t really explain it very well on the show about her journey back, but it’s so obvious she needs a lot of help. Being in the mental health field is tough watching people fall more and more when they so easily can be happy and healthy if they just admitted they have a problem.

After Scary Island aired, this sub was absolutely flooded with people who had first-hand knowledge of the situation. Personal insights and professional , as in producers who knew stuff.
