- Kelly talks about the tension between her and Bethenny.
New York is such a magnetic city. This episode you see a lot of me, and a lot happens. We move from the Hamptons and come back to New York. It's the first week of school for my girls and it's fashion week. I have been a model since I was 16, and I know a lot of people in the fashion industry. I graduated from Columbia University with a BA while I was modeling and was one of the editors who started GOTHAM magazine. After writing a book on American fashion called American Style (a portion of the proceeds are donated to the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art), an exploration of American fashion from the turn of the century to now, to start the magazine ELLE Accessories, the first off spring of ELLE magazine. I love to support my friends in the fashion industry, and all aspects of fashion have been a big part of my adult life, as my ex-husband is one of the most well known fashion photographers in the world and was the Publication Director of ELLE magazine.
I invited all the women to Russell Simmons' men's wear show, and Ramona and Simon had a fight in the front row. It wasn't appropriate to fight publicly. Regardless, the show was great, and I was happy for Russell and his new line.
I then invited LuAnn to the Malo fashion show and we went to the store and picked something from the fall collection to wear to the show. LuAnn is very playful - she had a great time trying on all the clothes and had fun at the show. At the store, LuAnn invited me to come to Jill Zarin's charity meeting. I had only met Jill twice, so I found it awkward that she was asking me to support her charity.

I don't understand Kelly and I don't understand several of the woman on this show. As a born and raised New Yorker but now living in the South for 20 years I wonder why these women have to be so unproductively confrontational instead of "killing them with kindness". You can get more with sugar than you can with vinegar but I guess piss and vinegar increases ratings and sugar would be too nice.
As for too nice, Kelly, you don't have to worry about that. No one could accuse you of that after seeing your immaturity in dealing with conflict. Life isn't "me, me, me" but maybe in your narrow opinion it is. I'm sure you're quick to point out that your in a "reality" show and I am not. But if that's what "reality" is, then I prefer to live in my small world where people try to get along and worry about much more important things in life besides having my name attached to the right charity (I'd like to be involved in every charity by budget and time would allow), being invited to assist when I barely know the person (I'm thankful for every person that would consider me a friend enough to be included in something so important to them).
But, I'm sure you're right - as you think you always are. Hopefully, as others have said, you grow and learn from this experience and hopefully your daughter still has friends that will come home with her after school instead of being afraid to be associated with you.
Remember, you are representing your family, your friends, your associates when you do your displays of immaturity.

Kelly, I loved this show, very entertaining for the many episodes I have watched until you joined the cast, now, I wonder if you are delusional or just don't know any better, I think you have ruined the chemistry on the show and do not care to watch it any more...you are a mess...get a life and stop thinking the world revolves around you, it doesn't...

Kelly,
I can relate to you. You and Alex were the least phony of the bunch. I prefer guy friends to gal friends. They're less into fluffing and showing their plumes and more into conversing about real issues. I agree that Bethenny cries too much. The man that gets stuck with her better have a psychologist on retainer. He's in for a ride. I'm excited that her book's doing well, but she would not have had the success without the promos from the reality show. She might have a banging shape, but what's up with her face? You've got it all. Luann needs to ask her daughter where that Goodwill store is where she bought the cashmere sweaters because she won't be able to COUNT on her book sales. Can I help it if I'm just a Kelly fan? I agree with you on Jill - she's the kind of friend I'd want in my corner. I don't fault you for being a private person that wanted to step out of the box a try something different, but it should be been there done that. You didn't deserve the harsh criticism. Bitchenny needs people to protect and come to her defense, you stand on your own. She's jealous of your handsome eye candy friends. Your men are truly delicious.

HEY GUYS:
THE OTHER B*%&*ES BESDIES KELLY ARE MORE SELF-ABSORBED THAN SHE IS. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE NOT? NONE OF THEM ARE PRETTIER, SEXIER OR MORE SELF-CONFIDENT THAN SHE IS. SO GUESS WHAT? THEY ALL LET THEIR GREEN MONSTER COME OUT WHERE KELLY'S CONCERNED (EXCEPT ALEX BECAUSE SHE'S SELF-CONFIDENT.)
SO EVERYONE CAN SAY WHAT THEY WANT ABOUT KELLY, BUT THE OTHER LADIES DESERVE MORE CRITICISM THAN SHE DOES...BUT THEY WON'T GET IT BECAUSE THEY'VE NEVER BEEN THE ENVIED PRETTY GIRL WHO HAS IT ALL.
AND GUESS WHAT? AFTER EVERYONE'S BULLYING AND HATING AND NASTY COMMENTS, IT WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING IN KELLY'S LIFE. NOT ONE THING. SHE'LL STILL WAKE UP GORGEOUS, WEALTHY, HEALTHY, SINGLE AND FANCY-FREE. ADD TO THAT A LUXURIOUS LIFE LIVED HAVING TRAVELED THE WORLD, AND TWO BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS TO KEEP HER COMPANY WHEN SHE'S OLDER!
LOVE YOU KELLY!!!

I like Kelly a lot. She is beautiful and comes from a totally different perspective than Bethenny. Bethenny is very cute too. But, she is not smiley and friendly and as delightful as Kelly. Unfortunately I feel many people are jealous of Kelly. I think Bethenny is one. There is no need. When Jill and Bethenny were in Jill's pool.. you could see that Bethenny had an "attitude" already about Kelly. Although I like Bethenny. Another time She started the whole "snarky" thing (from a tv viewer's perspective) by being so obnoxious when Kelly asked her if she was having a fun time when they sat together at that fashion show. Bethenny was unfriendly and obviously had some kind of problem. It was unnecessary. And, I think Kelly was rather innocent at that point. Unfortunately, Kelly had to deal with Bethenny's perspective. Because Bethenny is a bit of a bully (she'd probably admit it)... poor Kelly seemed to be taken off guard by Bethenny's treatment of her. I feel Kelly may not have explained it well but also.. it seemed ridiculous that she even had to explain anything to Bethenny. And, why should she have to indulge in that type of negative energy anyway? So.. that is why I think Kelly was responding as she did to Bethenny's wanting to converse on it. There really was nothing on Kelly's end to converse on.. and Bethenny maybe should have tried to let it go for heaven's sake.. and just try to get to know her and whatnot.

Kelly, I have read ALL of your blogs and wonder if you have even seen the tapes. Watch the tapes Kelly. See that you were the one that was waiting for Bethenny after you asked her to meet at the bar. She waited for half an hour for you. You started in on her. Bethenny did not start in on you. The nation saw you. Yes TV gets to edit but guess what, I think they pretty much showed us the whole story. It was the way Bethenny said it went down. I am sorry Kelly but really, grow up!

You're so private, you decide to do a reality show??? You're beginning to sound too much like Ramona..and my, my, aren't we so full of ourselves..Me, Me, Me....How many times do you have to tell everyone all the tings you do..Are you insecure.....maybe Bethenny saw through you the first 7 times she met you...although you can't remember her?? Like I said, It's all about Me, Me, Me. You don't want anything to do with anybody unless they are well known. You seem to think you fit in that category?? nope, never heard of you before this season.
What difference is it that you didn't know Jill. A charity for a good cause is a charity for a good cause.
Vain and insincere..maybe you should seek to be "private" again next season :)

I am truly disappointed at the way your character has been revealed on this show. I was very excited to see you emerge as the newest housewife, and was impressed by your efforts to create a name for yourself aside from the one you established by being Mrs. Bensimon.
However, as the show unfolded, I REALLY started to dislike you. While, some of the comments here about you are a little insensitive, I do see their point about your attitude. I honestly think that your attitude comes from a place of confusion. You always seem to be so aloof and flighty. You always seem like you are offending people by "accident". I am not sure whether you have a full grasp on reality, and perhaps you and Bethany clash because she was quick to point that out.
I am assuming that there is more to be said of the feud between you and Bethany, but regardless of "who said what...who did what", etc., the fact still remains that are pretty shallow and behave like a teenager. I honestly do not believe that most of the other women truly love each other to pieces, but they get over it. You do not see Alex calling Jill to a "meeting", only to "inform" her that she doesn't like her. How unnecessary was that?! There is no need for a grown woman to call anyone out to meet for drinks simply to tell her that you do not want to be her friend. From the way you ladies interact, it was blatantly obvious that neither one of you wanted to be friends. So why the meeting? A little Face Time perhaps? In the future, if you are going to invite someone out for drinks, invite them out to clear the air; not to say, "I don't want to play with you anymore".
You and Bethany are completely different people, so no one says you have to be friends. The insulting things that have said about Bethany were a little unnecessary. Yes, you come from two different worlds, but that definitely does not mean that one woman should consider herself superior to the other. Do NOT mistake having money for having class-the two do NOT go hand in hand. I am very sorry to say this, but I am surprised that you were ever Mrs. Bensimon. You do not seem to know how to conduct yourself like a grown woman. You appear to be more like a 13 year old girl who is ready to make friends and dish about cute boys. I would be very uncomfortable taking you to any high profile event where the guests would be using proper etiquette and using their "inside voices".
Boasting is never beautiful. Talking down to someone is never beautiful. Disregarding peoples' time and their measure of success is never beautiful. I know TONS of people with college degrees, and tons of people who have gotten books published. Sadly enough, many of them are still pretty dumb people. Loosely throwing the word "author" or "editor" around is absolutely dumbfounding to those of us who appreciate the craft of writing.
I hope that you (or your assistant, or one of your "fans") take the time to read this comment for what it is worth. I would love to see you become a better person. We all have flaws, and if we acknowledge them, we can all be better woman and stop being so catty and immature.
Best of luck!

Kelly have you no idea of how you come across to people? You are the most irritating when saying the baby voice ... "hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi." You are a woman who has lived life on her looks and honey I think you need to take another look. You are not that young, you are not that tight, you are not a person who can listen to any sort of remarks about you without turning it back on the person talking to you. I think that is what I really dislike about you the most. Time for you go...you are sooooo annoying.

I thing that while you are very beautiful and really a good mom, and yes you were-are a model. But I wonder if you realize that Bethenny is a Serious Business Woman who deserves the respect of at least showing up on time to a meeting (you set up). And that Jill deserve the same. Also I can't understand how you are a editor and have a problem answering your phone. I don't want you to think that I am bashing you,(not my place). I just watched Kelly verses Bethenny part 2. Dang girl give beth a break and try to listen to her,(and listen to yourself when you start floating to that pedstal you somtimes leap on) PLEASE, PLEASE. You are instering to watch. I love your laid back way.

Kelly- You should be ashamed! To begin with, you won't let anyone get a word in edgewise. You must control the conversation/situation and if you don't like what someone else says, you walk away. The only problem is, you come back and won't let it go. You then only tell a partial amount of info to gain sympathy from the other "housewives" and I believe your true colors are coming through. To invite all these people to your party then show up EXTREMELY late...bad manners. If you knew you needed to Trick or Treat with your kids, then plan the party for another time. As for the Bunny costume, not conservative in the least. Your comment about looking very cute said it all...you want ALL the attention.

There is something to what Bethany says about Kelly blowing off her castmates all the time. Recall that even in Kelly’s first appearance on the show, Kelly invited Ramona to Kelly’s equestrian event then iced her at least twice at in order to talk to someone (cute gay guys usually) that Kelly apparently seemed to think was more interesting to her. What’s up with that?

I'm sorry to say this, but the show was much better before you were on it. When the others have differences they eventually get passed them and are grown up about it. You, sweetie, aren't. You are very beautiful and stunning. But that doesn't give you class. Act like an adult and the show will be much better.

I was "Stunned" when I saw the episode where Kelly & Beth met to discuss their issues...
When Kelly demonstrated she was "Up Here" and Beth was "Way Down Here" on the class/celebrity scale?, my first instincts concerning her being added to the show were correct...
I realize ratings matter and they needed to up the ante this season...Adding a "Narcissistic Bully" in the mix is not only distasteful, it's appalling!
Hopefully, you'll pay attention to the women around you and learn from their example what the true definition of "Upper Class" is.

All I have to say to you is this. If you think your so bright and your so hot and Bethenny is the *bully* here, For one you need a reality(forgive the pun)check and two, go check out how many votes you have for the A-List Awards for the housewife fashion show. I think you will see who sunk their own ship. Percentages don't lie and dear me with all that Social climbing I would have thought you would have at least enough friends to muck up at LEAST 2 percent of the votes.

You say you're not confrontational in public then why did you confront Bethany in a very public place? What a hypocrite. Bethany was rude to you but you could have talked on the phone or alone somewhere. And to put your self up there and her down there was so arrogant. Who are you any way? I really think you're looks are a "dime-a-dozen" looks. I cracked up when Bethany mocked your "Hiiiiiiiii" I was doing it before she said it. You present your self as very phony. Atleast Bethany is real. You are constantly dropping names and telling us how busy you are and the Halloween party was a joke, I thought you "NEVER" put your name to anything and then you show up sooo rudely late. Who cares about you anyway, you wreck the chemistry of the girls.

If nothing else becouse of the good looking (Cougar) woman. Is funny how superficial and caddy some sucsesfull and very atractive woman can be. Kelly as for looks you are top of the list followed by the (the one that lost her sutter) bubbly blonde in the OC. Considering the doors that you and most other shows cast members sail past. This show brings home the reallity of your respectives "social scene" of course it will always be blame on the editing...

Kelly,
I am the kind of person who will give everyone a chance. When I watched you on the first episode, I thought, "wow, she is pretty, great smile, pretty hair, etc." But then a few episodes after that, I just didn't want to watch the show anymore. I find myself either changing the channel or falling asleep. It took a lot for me to write this message as I don't really want to bash people I don't even know. However, I understand you were upset about how Bethenny treated you and you were fed up with it. I don't think it was right that she made those comments either. But you are a mom (a great mom...so you said). I was really surprised and very disappointed in how you handled yourself. I think if you told Bethenny that you didn't like her antics and left at that, she would have apologized. Most people cannot handle people telling it like it is. I didn't at first but now I prefer those kinds of people because they are real. (That is why I also like Nene-Atlanta Housewife.) While they may sound unclassy, at least you always know where you stand. I like that. It seems you are not used to people like Bethenny. I think you are used to people always complimenting you and could not accept the fact that someone would act like that towards you. Bottom line, I think you need to apologize to Bethenny for how you behaved...1/2 an hour late when you were the one who called for a meeting and worst, just to tell her you are way above her and she is way down there. How would you like it if someone told you that? How would you like it if someone told your daughters that, would you feel bad? If you are a classy person, you would take that leap and apologize to Bethenny even though she started the whole thing. I believe Bethenny would apologize. This is the only way you'll redeem yourself. Most of the comments I read about you is very sad. I hope you do the right thing. Good luck and keep it real!

You hold your head up high, Kelly! Rumor has it that through your connections, you were able to come up with over $40,000 in donations for Jill's charity- and without your name emblazoned all over. The others are solely in it for the notoriety, but you took action and were not looking for the glory.
As far as BF is concerned, I think that she has deep psychological issues. I would keep away from her if I were you- who knows what that one is capable of. She is obviously green with envy, whining about how you were talking to her boyfriend who isn't even in her life anymore(for obvious reasons). Ignore her and maybe she'll go away!

Kelly, I am stunned by how inappropriate your actions have been towards the others ladies on the show. I am not writing this to slam you, but because I really think you need help. You are in an amazing position where you can make an impact on women, young and old, in America and instead you have alienated so many people with your thougtless actions. Maybe you don't understand how you come off, but I really hope that after watching yourself over these last few months you have decided to examine the motivations behind your behavior with some professional help. Please keep in mind that someday your children will see this show and have to defend you to their peers, don't make it any harder on them.
I wish you and your family happiness and good health.

I have realized I am watching a different show than most of the people that blog. I also like Kelly the best and am having a difficult time understanding what people don't get about her. Bravo-what is going on? I thought others would want Bethanny to get a laugh track added to her jokes because they are not funny, but instead I found the opposite. Kelly is living a great life, I liked her pink boots, and am sorry for all the suspicious blogging that's been going on. Kelly is likable, why would people think anything else? Fashion is art, and art is important.

Bethany is so much classier and mature than you. Why the hell would you invite her to a bar to tell her your not friends with her when clearly she didnt want to be your friend in the first place. YOU NEED TO GET OVER YOURSELF. Just because you are on a reality t.v. show does not make you a celebrity. GROW UP

Kelly, this is the first blog I have ever written...your superiority complex,ego and over the top self importance make you sadly very un-attractive. I can see that as long as you don't open your mouth how you have had a succesful modeling career, but sweetie, you need help! Bethany may have her issues but is clearly the one with class and brains. You could learn from her...she is genuine and giving, fun and witty and a very loyal friend. You however come across as a celebrity wanna be who uses people to claw your way up...I don't think it's working. Your treatment of Bethany was just down right mean!

Hi Kelly,
I absolutely love the show. Love yourself and don't worry about anything.
I think that each and everyone on the show are awesome.
Hang in there

Kelly,
Congratulations! You have won the Gene Pool Lottery. However, I remember people like you from the modeling biz and that was one of the reasons why I left. I can tell you are used to accomplishing things in life based on looks. Kelly you’re a very attractive woman. However, girlfriend in your mid to late 40's, you need substance!

Kelly, you're a very charismatic, beautiful, and talented woman. However, you shouldn't let all of that get the best of you. Treating others with courtesy (being prompt, diplomatic, etc) is more important than "the people you know." I'm sure the famous people you're friends with would like to know you're genuinely interested in them as individuals rather than just celebrities. And as Jill Stuart said in her interview, her relationships with close friends and family were most valuable. Staying grounded in the fashion industry will make you even more successful and admirable.

Kelly, if you are really "up here," then you would know that it is not polite to be 1/2 hour late for a meeting, even one you called yourself. So if you were trying to "punish" Bethenny by making her wait, your stunt only showed how classless you really are. Your actions only confirms that money and dropping names doesn't buy class.

Youre right. Mr housewife should have left ramona alone instead of getting in her face demanding to know why she didnt want a kiss from him. He's irks me in soo many ways!
I thought it was a generous gesture to invite ALL the housewives to the russel simmons fashion show. Bethenny tagged along to be seen i guess. I do recall her saying shes not into shows so im not so sure why she even bothered to show up. She's trying to work on her ratings i guess. the more drama you cause the more people talk about you.. makes sense now why shes being a child on this season whining about everything

Kelly, you seem like you can be a down to earth person but the way you talk to some people is quite sad. No one is above anyone else, and you should treat others as you would have them treat you. Bethany is a great girl and someone who is not afraid to call you out when you are inappropriate. You do not come off as being especially smart, and your comebacks are quite weak. It would be good for you to just relax and apologize for being such a mean person. No matter how much money you have, it doesn't give you the right to tear others down. I will pray for you.

Kelly,
My only question for you is, why do you still use your ex husbands last name?Clearly, you've been divorced for some time, so why not drop it and use your maiden name?

- Lizzie in Iowa
Kelly- you probably are super cool, fun to party with, and even believe you are in touch with yourself spiritually. However, out here in Iowa, a little humility goes along way. To be quite honest, you look a little wonky, disheveled, and almost valley-girl in your inability to express yourself (I know, I know, you write, whatever...)

Just had to add my opinion along with all the other posters. Kelly if you would stop your name-dropping and holier than thou attitude you might add some substance to the show. I'm not sure how much is prompted for the show but I'm sure you could have some input on how far you'll go with your "character". Just because your six feet tall does not mean you are above everyone..the smallest people can have the greatest impact!!

Watching the episodes it's very obvious that when you shared the bar confrontation with the other ladies, you weren't very truthful. You made it seem like it was all about how she was trying to get her digs in on you. Really?
You arranged the meeting of which you were a half an hour late. That just goes to show the lengths of which you feel you are superior.

Wow...I thought Bethenny deserved what you gave to her. I am surprised so many didn't understand what you said. She acts like she's still in high school. You said it was more of her behavior that she was below you. Not society wise.

Kelly,
You are different from the other Housewives and that is a good thing. You bring a different perspective on New York Living. I like your more casual approach to life and style with a splash of glamour always! Even though it is going to be tough getting along with everyody, you are fun to watch! Hang in there and continue to just be yourself!

Kelly, I have to admit that you and Bethenny both are at fault here. I understand your point of view, it was wrong of Bethenny to make a comment like that... I certainly wouldn't want anyone making comments like that about me in front of strangers. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE bethhenny... but that was a little off. Now you also did some things that were completely innaproppriate. I understand why you arrived late, If I were you I would've wanted to arrive late also... but since you were the inviter you should've arrived on time (bad manners). Ultimately I take Bethenny's side only beacuse I feel that I understood completely from her point of view clearly... and because you are a total bore and sort of a b.

Either your confused or I am. On your blog above, you state that you have never met Bethenny or even heard of her before this show. However, on last nights episode, you indicated to Bethenny that you did remember meeting her some time ago. You said her behavior was completely inappropriate (sic)and you wanted nothing to do with her after that. Which is it? Either you met her or you didn't! Did you lie on tv or did you lie on this blog? Time to get your story straight!

Wow. I am shocked by the ridiculous nature of your recent tirade. You DO realize that your argument held absolutely NO weight, correct? It was as if you had just inhaled a large dose of bleach, and then decided to take yourself in front of the cameras. Amusing, yes. Comprehensible? Not.

I LIKE YOU KELLY!
Bethenny was worng for treating you the way she did at the Russel Simmons show. The sit down was a waste of time because people like her are not worth your time!How about when Betheny closed the door on the drivers hand when he tried to shake Luann's hand. Bethenny has a chip on her shoulder.
She is ugly inside and out. Kelly has her beautiful kids, a gorgeous figure looks amazing and gets hot dates. Men chase her unlike Bethenny that has to chase men such as that bald ugly guy from last season.
Dont expect the ignorant low class people that are trashing you to understand. Stay strong!

Kelly,you have been a fascinating addition to the show; interesting, real, and striking. Your style is a refreshing change from the other ladies. I have enjoyed your individuality. You had a right to be annoyed at Bethany but it seems you TOTALLY lost it at Brass Monkey! Bethanys composure really succeeded in making you look even worse. Guess it's too late now, but a real lady would apologize.

You are on an ego trip hunny. You said that Bethanny was immature and childish, well it shows your a hypocrite as well because the way you handled yourself at the bar was totally childish as well. You need to realize your not the most important thing in this world. The only reason you are where you are is because of your ex-husband and his last name. Stop with the ego trip and grow up.

I think its hillarious how you felt the need to meet with someone who is, according to you, so insignificant in your life and doesn't matter at all. If that was the case, why acknowledge it? Ignore it.
Pathetic attempt to impose authorithy because you feel somehow above others. Embarassed yourself, really. Lame!

Honestly Kelly. To invite someone to meet you and then show up a half an hour late and expect them not to say something? And to invite them just to insult them? You are wierd, flippant, and incredibly full of yourself. Some of us aren't falling for your act at all. To say "that's cute" in response to Allie having arthritis? Look in the mirror for your inappropriate behavior. Your name is on about 140 different things so saying you don't lend your name to anything is simply and excuse and hypocritical. I will be changing the channel when your segment is on and I sure as heck won't be buying your jewelry or your yoga pants.

Wow! I just saw the meeting with Bethenny in the bar. I really felt that Kelly was disrespectful and acting the way that she accused Bethenny of acting. I was really disappointed in her behavior. This situation could have been handled much better. Regardless of whether she is friends or not, she was the one who asked to meet. Show up on time, state the reason why you feel the way you do with specific examples and end the conversation. It seemed as those Kelly felt Bethenny was beneath her and she seemed to show a sense of self-importance. Justified or not, I felt that Kelly was acting a bit juvenile. I'm hoping the differences can be resolved in a more mature, adult manner. And if not, at least act civil towards each other. Be an example of what you feel is appropriate.

HOLY COW! Are you for real??? You make the women in Greenwich, CT look like pussycats! You are possibly the most arrogant human being I have ever seen! YES, we all know you are a model, and you went to Columbia, and you vacation in the Hamptoms, and you are a blah blah blah blah blah over achiever... Enough already, you put your pants on one leg at a time, and you inhale and exhale like the rest of us! You are nothing more than a bully who stepped into bull _ _ _ _, and lives a decadent life! News flash, money and fame does not equal class! Truthfully, I couldn't even try to squeeze an ounce of class out of you, even if I searched for it! Any decent human being would not have treated Bethany the way you did, nor would they have reacted the way you did at that meeting. You are a big bully who just glorifies herself and wants to be in the SPOTLIGHT!
