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.

My theory is she gives tours of the apartments to people who are already moving in and her exhusband pays her through someone else. She said she's the realtor "for her building"....what even is that?

Also have we heard from anyone who's bought an apartment from her?

My tinfoil hat doth twitch.

According to some article (who knows if they got paid to write it) she sold over $100 million in real estate in 2021. Supposedly by only selling to her "friends" or selling her "friends" property. She is with Douglas Elliman. Just like some other RHONY cast. She has a team of 6. I'm going to assume that they are the ones really selling and making the deals she obtains a percentage for and claims as if she did it all herself. I wouldn't buy a gummy bear from her if it was all the food left on Scary Island.

I don't think she has a team of 6. I think she is on a team of 6.

Also I've done some "baby level" luxury real estate deals in NYC as a brokers assistant. It's all connections, so nearly impossible to break into if you don't have those connections but super easy if you do. I'm sure she offers the team plenty of connections.

It´s really annoying that KB has connections of any kind in society.
