Interfriention

Kelly shares her final thoughts on a tumultuous season and cautions fans to avoid conflict!

June 3, 2010

As the season closes, so does a lot of the animosity. Acquaintances can become friends. Ramona's wedding was a nice close to a season filled with anger, bitterness, and a lot of misunderstanding. Learn from us, don't engage when someone you know pushes your buttons or jabs you. Walk away, and be with those who like you for you. J'aime que m'aime. I love those who love me. Life is short, and relish and enjoy every moment for it will never come again. Happy Summer.

Are you for real?

kelly you are a trip! I give you an A for effort! Obtuse and vacuous are words that could be used to describe your demeanor at first glance but I think you go much deeper, really. You just need a second chance. You really are on a sugar high from all that fructose corn syrup from those gummi bears and then after the el patron shots you just lose it. You gotta love this girl.

Kathryn, California

Kelly, I know you are a good person, great mom and wonderful business woman. However, you were not matched properly with the cast members. I felt as if you needed someone 'on your team'. I know you can't go up against Bethenny verbally, and I too have friends like that. I just don't talk about certain things with certain people and we remain friends. New Yorkers think they have to say evrything that's on their mind. I'm from NorCal and we think differently here. I think you would be a great addition to NorCal. We are mellow, respectful, US LADIES DRIVE BIG TRUCKS, it's classy here, and a great place to raise children. I don't want to bash you. I think you should listen to some of the comments around you, maybe take the tapes to your therapist and get some feedback from someone who you look up to and respect. Sometimes I felt sorry for you on the show, and sometimes I felt like you were picking fights. Sometimes you don't know when to stop. Again, you are not a bad person. The best thing that will come out of this is all the lessons you will learn. What a great experience for you and your family. I wish you well.

I'm all for avoiding conflict. It's a waste of time and is time we can't get back.

I think most people will say they know someone who pushes their buttons to get some sort of reaction.

Trying to avoid that kind of manipulation takes skill.

I agree, walk away if someone pushes those buttons for a reaction. It is a bit underhanded. After all, why go there?

In my opinion, people who get to know you for you, don't do so, to plant seeds where they can push your buttons to get a reaction. That said, a swift reply that eliminates the taunt will take care of that. One at a time. It's draining but in the end, you will have stood up for yourself and dealt with the issues that need attention.

Best of luck in the future.

honey i got a news flash . you need to learn when to shut up.

Kelly,

Trying to figure out what you're saying is like trying to unravel a hairball. You are a mass of contradictions as are most people, and rather than owning up to your inconsistent behavior and attitudes you choose to go on the attack, verbally. It seems as though you are unable to express your feelings and thoughts verbally in any coherent manner. Your writing seems more thoughful. The best way to describe you is quixotic, in all its nuanced definitions. Stop trying to attack or defend verbally. Take a breath; relax take your time and respond with reason. I don't mean cutesy little lollipop land remarks.

Kelly,

I think you are a beautiful person. I understand the way you were as anyone would be if they had to spend four days with rude, mean and ugly people. You know who you are and don't let the three of them bring you down to their level. Be true to yourself and don't engage when they start their crap. Walk away and know you can be proud of yourself. When people know they are not as good as others, they then try to bring the good ones down and get everyone else to hate them too. The gossip is on the level of high school. Don't engage, your better then that. Love you as do many others.

LISTEN to DR.LEE'S comment and nothing else! Every negative poster on here are nothing but ugly insecure reality tv lovers that have nothing else better to do than ridicule your every move! Ms. Kelly your a gorgeous woman and you own it like it's nobodys business, and it really ain't! Everyone STOP hatin on the ONLY sucessful and gorgeous housewife of all of Bravo's real housewives.

your a good person. but seriousy you need to take other peope advice and get therapy. and please try and get grip on reality. it makes for good television and good entertainment but honestly enough is enough its just annoying now.

Kelly,
I can almost understand where you are coming from, however, there is a difference between the mean girls and the girls that make you go home and cry and feel as if you have been bullied. The "other team" are at least up front with their opinions and don't hide behind their angelic halo and shoot snide hateful remarks like you. The only difference they accept what they are.
You act so "goodie goodie" but you rode Bethenny the entire time and make snide remarks constantly and then acted as if you didn't.
I would much rather someone be upfront with me than two-faced like you. Sometimes it's the "nice" girls that are just as much a bully as the mean girls.

I am really not sure if I have been able to make sense of anything you have said this season. I don't think anyone wants to be mean to you, I think you get defensive and don't realize they just don't know what you are saying! And, many of the things you have said this season have been very very mean...even if they were not meant to be. Maybe the best thing to do is self-reflect and figure out what is important to you. But more importantly...LISTEN when others talk. They are never mean to you until you say something off the wall to them. I think they genuinly do care about you, but also genuinly don't have a clue what you are saying.

Kelly,
You are right. Life is too short to spend it arguing with others about things that are not important and will make you unhappy in the end. Let Bethenney be who she is and say what she wants, because it will get her in trouble in the long run. I believe that Bethenny has attacked you in and out of the press, because she talks so much and so fast; and has made statements on the show regarding your state of mind, as if she's a doctor able to make an accurate diagnosis of your mental health. By making these statements she hopes to destroy your credibility. She has not recogized that she cried so much this season, one could say she was having a breakdown. I believe these women have been mean to you (They are mean to each other!); and I believe that you have had different and happier life experiences then they have had; and you feel friends don't hurt each other the way these women hurt one another and still pretend to be friends. I have watched Behenney's new show and I think she is so intense with her new hushband, they will argue all the time and I don't see how he'll be able to stand her. She tries to over power him.

Learn to deal calmly with the women's mean remarks and hang in there until you can get out gracefully!

Drama is fun to watch and YOU Ms. Kelly create tons of it. I still don't get you but I am interested and annoyed. Cheers to entertainment.

U OF TEXAS GRADUATE, I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE!

Every comment that Kelly heads about how other people ought to do this or that is exactly what she does herself. She picks at people and is so self centered that she does not even realize that she starts all this conflict. Quite funny!

Open your eyes! Watch your own behavior and stop playing the victim! It's getting very old! oh... and learn how to cook so your kids don't have to! You're the mother afterall.

Kelly,
You're a gorgeous and strong woman. I do understand where you are coming from. However, your demeanor is not appropriate. You must find it hard to sustain healthy close and intimate relationships. Men, and woman, don't like to personally associate with people those overbearing qualities. It emasculates men and gets us women to back away. If you want more healthy relationships, cut it out!

Why do you continually accuse Bethenny of all kinds of scandalous deeds but cant prove it?? You are sooo wierd. Who can carry on a convo with you when you take everything so personal. You are the one who "feels" too much. All you do is lie in wait for someone to say something that you dont like and pounce on them for it. Do you always think your way is the right way? Havent you learned to be openminded and listen not talk. You need to take your own advice and "ZIP IT"

Kelly....honestly...honestly....Kelly.....ZIP IT! The girls seemed sympatheic with you on that trip, not mean. You should watch those episodes again and get a grip. You seemed way out there and your "zip it" remarks was rude. Try to change a little. I don't think your daughters would be proud of that behavior. Redeem yourself next season if you return. It was a roller coaster ride with you and everyone on the show. When someone tells you they will speak with you at a later time. LISTEN. It only makes you look crazier. I kinda felt bad for you but you did say your up there and others are down here....I know it was seasons ago but thats not right.

No Kelly, you aren't as harmless as a fly--you are responsible for all the mean things you said that we heard you say on national TV. You walked away when confronted about your irrational behavior because you have NO EXCUSE!

as i'm watching the reunion, i'm beginning to dislike you, and your ignorant comments, more and more. you're the one who needs to 'censor' yourself, and it's not so classy to take your clothes off for a magazine cover in exchange for money. practice what you preach, and look into new career opportunities!

Kelly,

I'm sorry you were portrayed so badly this year. Don't pay any attention to Bethany she is a viper. Stay true to yourself by not bashing people when they are not around. Act like you did on the yacht. Just walk away.

Texas Fan

Kelly never graduated from Columbia. Look it up. She has made so many comments on television that are not true. I hope she doesn't continue on the show. Her crazy is not fun. It is very sad. :(

Well wishes to you Kelly. Many great authors are intelligent like you but hide behind their laptops. Now that you are in the public eye, think. We have already seen the TV clips for tomorrow. Your demeanor is not appropriate. Take care of your girls and teach them better than to bicker on National TV. Do you really need the paycheck that bad?

Kelly,
Bethenny played u and her two mean step-sisters, Alex & Ramona went for the ride. It's done with.."it is what is."

You have to change your image. You can't argue w/ Bethenny so don't try anymore. She quite quick witted & brazen. She LOVES the camera. So...don't be around her. She will fall on her own. Karma. Karma. Karma. They always do.

Focus on your children & your career. Fans of show will want to know about your love life so that is can be the "spice" in your storyline for next season.

You are terrific!
Don't listen to the haters!

Hope all is well in your world.

Best to you & yours!

Kelly u r so 1979!!!

Why is it that Kelly is labeled "irrational" for standing up to Bethenny on Scary Island and calling her out on her past actions, yet Bethenny can get away with tearing apart the Housewives and their spouses and their reputations behind their backs and to the camera. Just witness Bethenny's running commentary last season and any of Bethenny's post-season interviews to see the vicious comments and insults Bethenny repeatedly made about Kelly and Alex and Simon and LuAnn. Right on Kelly for getting some spine and standing up to the woman who can certainly dish it out behind people's backs, but just can't take it when confronted head on.

It's easier to love those who love us but it's more challenging to accept each others differences, see the best and uniqueness in even those we don't love so easily. I would like to see more growth in that direction with you women who so many watch next season if you're still onboard. Just because you've made and are "living a great life" doesn't make you "up" there and someone else "down" here! You would be better off showing your daughters this rather than attacking those you simply come off seeming jealous of. Who cares what Bethany's title it? She's a Natural Food Chef, she seems to love what she does and is happy doing it. Yes, she can be cutting too but she is more mature seemed genuinely concerned for your behavior. I don't know what was edited but your report back to Jill and Luann was just as twisted as it was on the trip. I think you mixed alcohol with something else and it was not a good combination for you! Did you ever apologize to the ladies? You all act like High School girls in your cliques. Charity is probably the best thing you ladies can "lend your names to" !!!! Maybe it can get you out of yourselves some. The majority of your viewers are certainly not as blessed with "the good life" as you gals are and love to watch because they would love to have all your blessings. Quiet frankly, you rarely showed that you are that grateful but rather deserving and take it all for granted skipping around like you're on trip and what's up with 1979? I just don't get that nor satchles of gold. Again, not a good combination whatever launched that behavior. Calling names like "ho bag" and saying "it's just creepy" for someone to want to get away on an exotic all girls trip after their father who never loved them and chose only on his death bed to reach out "creepy" is...well THAT's creepy! It's cruel really. Quit being a playboy bunny victim! Take some ques from Ramona, renew, renew, renew and quit listening to Jill! She's a diva and is really the queen of arrogance and self centeredness. No amount of editing could have made her look nice this season. I hope if you do come back next season, you choose to grow, after all you ARE a grown woman and a role model, not just a playboy model, at least to your girls. It doesn't take a degree from Colombia U to know that!

You can not reason with Kelly in the state that she is in. She may never read these blogs anyway. She has major issues. Even if she was offended in the past by Bethenny, this was still a very strange way of handling it. Kelly winded up offending everyone there including the hostess Ramona.

you are your own worst enemy - not betheny!

Kelly, when will you take your responsibility for your part, when? And all you people who made comments about Bethenny on the cruise. She did nothing wrong. Nothing. I watched it a few times. It was Kelly, yes Kelly who was the cruel one. Gosh, enough already. Take responsibility for your actions. I really think you have some deep issues with feelings. Hopefully you will seek some therapy one day. Life isn't cartwheels and jelly beans all the time. Grow Up

Everyone deserves to be loved? Even the ones you wear? Didn’t they deserve to be loved?

LOVE you Kelly. You will have to get off of caring about Bethenny's actions towards you. She has a quick, cruel tongue and no one can stand in her way when it comes to building up her self-absorbed person. Never in my life have I witnessed someone who is so cruel (to you) and gets away with it. AMAZING!

Duh,That's your problem NO ONE loves you. No Je T'aime for you but too much je M'aime. Get over your self and things will fall into place for you.

Once again .....not making any sense. Please go talk to somebody before next season. I don't know how much I can take if it goes on another season. I am so excited for Bethenny's show! Love, love, love her and you should too:)

Kelly, seriously, all your viewers believe you need serious help. You rarely make sense, all jibberish!!! I think getting some professional help, is not a bad idea. You have deep seeded issues.

Kelly, if you are a mature adult, you would stop and reflect on yourself rather than continue to put the blame on others for your short comings. I don't see or have read a single reflection upon yourself. You only have yourself to blame for all the backlash you are receiving now, Kelly. Also I can tell that you are coming in your own blog to post positive comments about yourself. I guess that is another thing you hare learned from Jill. Rather than trying hard to bash Bethenny and others constantly on the press (under fake names), why don't you look at yourself first to understand what people are talking about.

Very entertaining....I just read the other viewers comments to you. And I'm thinking...cha ching. The only thing you need to do is ask for a raise. You have arrived. Anyone who can arise this much fervor amongst viewers has accomplished her task of being truly interesting, which is why all of our sorry a***es watch this stuff anyway! ha ha....laugh all the way to the bank sista!!!!! Use it to your advantage, I would.

The photo album would have been a "resplendent" gift for a high school graduation but not for a lovely event like Ramona's vow renewal. Perhaps it would have been nice as part of a gift that included something else, certainly not as the main gift.

BestyNJ,

You know the Pierre event was provided by Bravo or better yet Comcast, since the majority owner of NBC is Comcast at this point. This was the finale all the Housewives are ASSUMED to be in attendance, so it should not have been news to Ramona and frankly it wasn't.

So, what would you bring to a 17th wedding anniversary put on by a major Media company among mostly people you do not know? Silver or China...the photo album was wonderful and very thoughtful. It demonstrated class and elegance. It is unique and was about Ramona and frankly Ramona looked hot in it and she liked it. Here, here what a resplendent gift!

The preview of the reunion show was interesting for one reason. Ramona, Betheney and the new Antagonist Alex all had examples of your and Jill's behavior they never gave an example when you both asked for it they just told you how mean you were, how you had to change, and the funny thing was -- they all said the same thing, they even nodded at the same time! Did they have a reunion boot camp "how can we make Jill, Kelly and LuAnn look like the bad guys, promote our products and make sure the audience is on our side". Please as a viewer I do not want to judge anyone! Let Andy be the judge he saw ALL the film not us! God Bless your family

K- I would melt down too if I had to be with those women...gosh I'm sure you didn't sign up for all that crap. What I do like about you is you try very hard to stand your ground and not let them bring you to their level. However, if they freak you out so much then maybe the show isn't worth it. Hang in there.

Kelly,

You have beautiful face, but your behavior this season was very irrational (I mean what did Bethanny honestly do to u). Your hate for Bethanny only made me like her more, b/c I felt bad for the way you tried to tear her down every chance you had on the vacay. You were not attacked and you were actually acting quite jealous & heartless to me (u told bethanny she was a hoe and that her dad dying before forming a realtionship to her was a everday life issue). You need to learn to either be more compasionate or just not say anything if u have nothing nice to say!! In the future no more "zip it's" and I wish you the best of luck.

Your intense dislike for Bethany reads jealousy all over. We get that you'd like to be the center of attention, however Bethany is just far more interesting and witty than you, and that's why she has her own show.

Kelly: I'm a big fan of yours and I wish you well. Don't come back to the housewives. It's not worth the stress and you're too good for them.

Kelly, I hope you can go back and review the tape of the vacation and see your own behavior. Its insulting to tell someone that you have fear of them killing you when Bethenny has done nothing to make you feel that way. Its insulting to tell someone that their career as a chef is nothing but a cook. Its insulting to ridicule someone over and over and play like your the victim. I think you did a great job standing by Jill's motives to be concerned for Bethenny. I totally agree with you on that but not at one time during the vacation were 4 women coming against you. You dont get how insulting you are and that ordered tone you have, the "Stop it," words shows your just plain rude. Use the words with your kids of if your in danger but stop ordering adults.

I hope when you watch this episode you get a revelation and YOU stop the bullying. I was embarrased for you! After that episode I quit watching the program. It was just too much watching you take crazy to a whole new level. I think you are very intimidated by Bethany and you felt like she was upstaging you and you came out like some crazy, jealous animal and attacked her. I think I will watch Bethanys new show. She is definetly interesting and a lot more sane.

Kelly,
I do not believe editing made you look crazy, YOU made you look crazy.
OWN IT!

Kelly,
I rarely post messages on blogs, but I feel for the pain you've felt. Please consider leaving the show for you and your daughters sake. It seems that you've had a lot of success in your life - and one of the keys to success can be realizing what things aren't the best fit and moving onto situations that are more constructive and harmonious. I read a message that said that you were asking for good luck wishes. I wish you and your girls the very best of luck.
