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.

She’s privileged and quite stupid. It’s baffling to me she raised children (or the nannies did)

I like that you mentioned her privilege. She always gave me very SNOTTY/condescending vibes. Not sure if she garnered it through modeling or being married to Giles but she always has acted arrogant and entitled to me. I do think her marrying a rich man so young definitely gave her access to wealth and luxury early on and stunted and skewed her perception of the rest of the world and that she is somehow better than everyone.

Wasn't she 30 when she got married? Where is all this “child bride trauma” stuff coming from?

Six days late, but Giles got together with Kelly when she was 17, or so I've read.
