Who starts the fights? I was asked to do this show for a reason. You may love me, you may hate me, or you may think I look like your cousin, but I've got you hooked. OOPS! I am a completely different housewife compared to these women, and that's OK. Honestly, I was always shocked at how they talk to each other; you can see it on my expression (maybe I should start getting Botox.) Reflecting back, I wish I had seen the first season, so I would have been prepared. I was totally unprepared for every situation, and you can see when I say with an expression of disbelief, "What?" But, I chose to take a great leap of faith and do something completely out of the box. Isn't it odd how I never comment on them? Doesn't it come across as strange that I don't ever say anything bad in any of my interviews? Yes, I drive a Dodge Ram, yes I am accomplished, and yes, I have been working since I was 16 years old. I am so proud of what I have done and where I come from. New York is far from Rockford, Illinois. I was raised by amazing parents and exposed to the best education in the country. If I learned one thing from my past it is: If it's good, it's good. There is no discussion or price point. That's what makes me fundamentally different, and that's why they get so angry.

Yes, Jill Zarin is my favorite housewife because she tries. She always tries to do her best, and I respect that. She did know that I had texted her at 9:45 on the night of the Halloween party. Watch the episode where I talk to her at Simon and Alex's house the night after the party. Gotcha, Jill!

I also sent each one of them a handwritten thank you note for making the effort to come to the Halloween party.

The show is all entertaining down here. I am wrapped with the fly on the wall scope into such amazing lives. We are pretty laid back here, although have much respect for each other. Kelly is an angel, Luanne a role model, Bethanny an inspiration, Jill a dynamo, The blonde lady an up and coming, and Ramonna is energetic. Live and let live. We love it down here, the show is great and you all entertain us. For being publisized as you are is a huge sacrifice. God Bless you all. Fantastic lives are a treat for us to see. Protect yourselves and remain strict on your boundaries. I almost want to look out for you when in New York as I feel I can say hello, that's the power of media. I know my limits.

I find it hysterical that Kelly refuses to lend her name to anything re: charities - what does she think she is doing on a television show.

Hey, Kelly, you brought a lot of drama to the show and made it fun to watch. I think you tried to give friendship a chance with Bethenney at the fashion show, but I guess she already had something against you from a real or imagined slight by you. I like Bethenney, though, and if you approached her differently I could see you guys at least being on friendly terms. But, I do understand being horribly offended by her behavior at the charity meeting where she referred to you as Madonna. She had it in for you from the beginning. Maybe you unintentionally snobbed her on various occasions. I think if you would have just apologized for that in the conversation you guys had at Jill's all would have been well.

You are mean and not nice. You always said "Stop, stop" to others when they tried to say something. And when you talked during the reunion, nobody understand what you were talking about, no sense. You said to Bethenny that "you are here and I'm here" and when Bethenny confronted you about that you said that you didn't know what Bethenny was talking about, even during the reunion you dennied that.......Yuck! To tell you the truth, Bethenny looked so adorable and her skin looked so smooth when she was with you. Your attitude make me sick. You think that you are above others.
Pillow fighting with Max in Jill's store like two kindergarten kids. What were you thinking??? Disgusting!!!!!
You are boring. Ask Ramona to give you a sample of her skin care!!!!

Kelly,

Nobody is perfect, and I appreciate that you admitted that you have insecurities. I really loved to hate you on the show because you came across as self absorbed. I'd hate to see how I'd come across if I was on reality tv.

All of the criticism must be hard to handle, but there's always some truth in it if you can take it with a grain of salt. It seems like you did take notice of the punctuality issue as you made an effort to write thank you notes after your party.

Overall, you seem to have your life together and hopefully this has been more positive than negative for you.

Kelly,

Darling, it was your attitude, holier than thou, that got you into trouble with the other wives. I see how Bethany can be a hard egg to crack, get to know and not feel insecure around, but your actions were over the top. This blog just goes on to show how you justify your own negativity. You do not see the world thru rose tinted glasses,if you did you would see your own negativity. Just do your own thing, be true to yourself and really who cares what people think. You seem bright, very beautiful with wonderful chidren and an exciting life forget the stupid stuff and be yourself. Most of what you did on the show was rationalizing and justifying, don't, you don't have to!

You are basically like Kim from Housewives of Atlanta...a hot mess who has the misfortune of being unable to see yourself as others do. If you do not care that you are widely misunderstood, then I suspect this is because of that pesky superiority trait you posess.

Oh Kelly, do you really think the average Bravo viewer is THAT dumb? Its easy to see your pathetic attempt to manipulate as you try to explain away your Juvenile behavior. Its also funny that you consider yourself a "pot stirrer" You are not. What You ARE is a selfish, self absorbed bore. So, Stay on the show, continue to make a fool of yourself. I find you to be a waste of space.

I think it's hilarious that you want the women on this show to be some type of role models for us with their behavior, when people want to find serious role models we most certainly do not turn to reality televison. And if you are sick of the drama get off a reality tv show! People aren't going to sit and watch a bunch of women giggle and talk about ponies and butterflies. People watch this show to laugh (at you) and to have an hour of escape from what real life is. If your goal as the "different" housewife was to come on here and edcucate us, you are sorely mistaken I would bet 95% of the viewers would be able to teach you way more than you could teach us!

Hi Kelly

I totally agree with where you are coming from. I do not like drama either, and those idiots that call themselves socialites.............3 words.............oh my god!!! They should take lessons from Donald Trump's wife Melania. Now that is a beautiful, classy, graceful socialite who stays out of the limelight. You are a beautiful classy girl who has been a model, and they are jealous. I like men..............lol................so I hope you don't take this as I am hitting on you because I am engaged and love men only. But really, stay far away from those loud mouthed jabbering idiots! You are way too classy for them., and believe me, they know it. Women are catty, that is why some of my closest friends are male. They are not petty at all. Hope you return next season just to go up their butts!!

I only have a few words for you Kelly. Number one, I have never in my life seen or heard someone speak the way that you do. The way that you make yourself the "victim" and never take responsibility for your actions make you look VERY immature! You need to learn how to carry yourself. The way you looked on TV was understimulated, immature, and to be honest very cowardly. Get some help honey.

Luanne's stock has gone up, Bethenny's has remained at the top along with Jill's, Alex and Simon's has gone up, Ramona's a nut job, Mario wants to be a star and Kelly should stay because she's the biggest nut job on the show and she's delusional.

I appreciate Kelly's effort to come across as positive and her attempts to stay focused on the good in everyone. Sadly, that doesn't negate her actions and words that we witnessed on camera. In fact, it seems that Kelly continues to keep hashing her beef with Bethenny in the press, etc. (see almost every entry of this blog, see Harper's Bazaar and so on).

Understandably, it's difficult not to participate in some judgment and criticism and perhaps I wouldn't take issue with Kelly if she weren't trying so hard to say that she was above it while the other women are just caught up in drama. One result is that Kelly comes across as either defensive or stuck in victim mode.

I saw on camera Kelly say "How cute" in reference to Ally's arthritis and the charity created in her honor - after being very late to the meeting. I wasn't in the room and it set me off.

Watching the episode where Bethenny honestly tried to clear the air with Kelly was painful. Not for the reason Kelly seems to have concocted. Bethenny didn't seem to be trying to keep it going - initially. She seemed to, like most women, want to address her points of hurt feelings or confusion; she seemed to want to address some of the outrageous things Kelly said. In fact, it seemed - to me - that Bethenny wanted to believe Kelly didn't mean it when she said "I'm up here..." Kelly was so unwilling to take respoinsiblity for anything she said and so desirous to pretending nothing bad has happened that she turned herself, yet again, into a victim and then attacks Bethenny for trying to fuel a fight.

So if you, Kelly, want to point fingers at "who started it"...well, it was your attitude and actions that sparked and fueled the reaction you've received.

I believe in being positive and supportive when I can, but that doesn't include looking my nose down at people who aren't brought up as well was me. That doesn't include justifying my bad behavior because my values differ from those around me. There is a lack of authenticity when we try to pretend that life is always rosy for us or those around us. Kelly said that Bethenny needed to be taught that she can't talk to her in the way she felt Bethenny had. That begins with an idea of superiority.

It's been disappointing to read in Kelly's blog that she takes no responsibility for what we've all seen on camera. This analysis doesn't make me a "hater." I recognize that Kelly is an accomplished woman. I just find myself feeling offended by the justifications, double-standards and excuses. Wouldn't think Kelly wants to be thought of as the victim archetype, but that is what she's perpetuating.

Most every time Kelly has been on I've had the distinct feeling she was always very uncomfortable and not at all at ease. Posing for photos is very different then opening one's mouth and actually speaking or talking and making sense. This was especially true when Kelly met Bethenny at the bar......late of course.....then tore into Bethenny. I'm going to surmise that it was simply for drama but she didn't pull it off well. It's like she was just saying anything that popped into her head. Didn't make sense of course. Bethenny has an acerbic sense of humor that I don't believe Kelly gets. Kelly is a classic example that simply having a diploma from an ivy league or any other college or university......isn't a guarantee that one has even a smidgen of common sense, something this chick seems short on. On the other hand, she seems to be an engaged mom and that's good.

Kelly was lucky to be born beautiful. Good enough for her, I guess but she's going to continue to be slammed because of her own sense of self importance and that's the drama that will make us all continue to tune in.

Who wants to watch a dull and boring hour of polite chat and sweetness??? Not me. I'm going to watch every week and watch my gal Bethenny and her gorgeous Frenchman, Philippe (spelling?)and the rest of these super ladies of NYC. I want Philippe for Christmas. Hey, while I'm at it, I'll also take Max. He is drop dead gorgeous. Both Latin and both just delicious.

I don't know what has happened in your life to make you the sad person you are, but I really feel sorry for you, more than that I feel sorry for your ex husband. If I have to hear about your privileged upbringing one more time, or how you are so upper class, I may have to throw up. You have no sense of reality, and despite your "upbringing" you are completely classless (in style and life). Get over yourself and be an example to your children for crying out loud!

I got it, folks we have been had. Kelly is all an act and Bravo is in the joke. No one can be this dense. And the people praising Kelly for being "real"? This female changes what she feels all the time. For instance, now she is insecure going to parties alone. When Ramona complimented her on being brave to come to a party alone, she went on and on and on, about her independence and she got that from her midwest roots. Now, she is insecure about being alone, therefore she leaves quickly? This has be be all a game, to add "interest". Kelly must not realize she is being taped. I cannot watch Kelly and won't. The other ladies rock. Kelly is a joke.

Thank you for bring mid-west sensibilities to the east coast. They could use a little dose of humble pie. I could see you and Bethenny do a show based on Thelma and Louise the two of you are so dynamic. The two of you are so similar in many ways but talk such a different language. I thought you and Jill had connected, but I really think that you and Alex are more connected.

Kelly, I really agree with "Confused in NY". I know it is easy to slam people on a blog without knowing them. But you appear to be a typical "celebrity" who really knows nothing about what goes on in the real world. I know you said you have been working hard since you "growed up". But you married early to a successful man and seem to have all the kind of material things you want. You used your children as an excuse for being late. I thought you had a nanny? Also, not many hard working single moms can even host glamorous party much less even attend a Halloween party. I think you need a reality check.

Are all of these women a little full of themselves? Absolutely! But you take it to new heights of self-absorbtion! How you can say half of what you say with a straight face amazes me.

I don't see why you are held to a much higher standard than your castmates. They say such nasty and hurtful things and are praised!

I hope you will be returning for the next season. Alex was treated horrible too and look at her now, she's having the last laugh. The other women who love to attack you are showing themselves to be bitter, self absorbed and downright cruel.

I used to like Bethenny but she just won't stop trashing women. It's as though she thinks it's her job to tear other women down and brag about herself. It's too bad that her obsession over you has led to such vile hatred being spewed.

Re: the "Reunion Show", Bethenny is jealous of you.
It's fitting she wore a "green dress", (green with envy!)
She does not strike me as a nice person.
If Bethenny, would shut up and quit bullying every one, the show would be more enjoyable.
I live in Laguna Niguel, California and most of my friends who watch the show, don't enjoy Bethenny, she is way to angry!
Jill, isn't half as smart as she thinks she is. She must not watch the re-runs. One would think, such an intellect, would change her behavior pronto!
And I have only one response for the Countess "Please get over yourself Dutchess"! My husband as a joke, refers to her as the Dutchess, because she is ridiculous!
Ramona, is Ramona, she keeps it real! I like her. And I think Alex is a bright, open, kind individual.

Kelly, I feel you are a very talented, successful woman, who happens to be beautiful. Unfortunately, Bethenny and Jill to a degree, are very uncomfortable with that and would like to take you down.
I think you are great on the show. You have a lot to offer, great style, success in the fashion industry, good taste in men, and love your children.
The producers need to let you be you and not set you up too much with Bethenny! Don't waste to much time with Bethenny.

Kelly,
Your constant contradictions are astounding. You keep talking about Bethany being inappropriate when one of the most basic rules of etiquette is to be on time to appointments. Also, you keep talking about Bethany attacking you during the charity meeting with the Madonna comment, but your behavior that prompted the comment was very snippy and seemed inappropriate. You very so adament about not lending your name to anything and you presented it in a very rude manner. I think that your behavior caused everyone at the meeting to pause and you made people uncomfortable. The comment was warrented because of the way that you presented yourself. You could have said the same thing in a much softer tone, but you acted as though someone had committed a horrible sin by even suggesting that your name (along with everyone at the meeting) be used. It was very rude and it did make you seem like an elitist snob. Everyone there was going to use their name so you insulted them immediately. What is shocking is how offended you can get at the least little slight, but you have no idea how offensive you are. Your comments to Bethany at a meeting that you asked for and then were late for, were so mean (I don't like you, I don't think you're funny...etc) I can't even imagine how you would have responded if the situation was reversed.

Do some soul searching. Normally I would have felt sorry for your because of your legal problems with your ex, but your behavior is so erratic it makes me question if the allegations could be true. If you truly have worked your whole life to build a good name for yourself, you destroyed a lot with this season of the Housewives. Get out while you still can.

Hi Kelly,
It's so awful to go to a party alone. If people could look a little deeper---be just a little kinder, they might see that most of us are insecure, lonely, maybe even afraid beneath our veneer, our facade of happiness & power. Sometimes I even come off as a snob, lofty...when deep inside (at times) I'm crushed, afraid to get too close, dreadfully insecure. The inside doesn't match the outside. It's a paradox and we end up being misunderstood. Very misunderstood. And there you are in NY, divorced, hurt probably more times than anyone knows, and on a reality show surrounded by wolves. Real wolves with no heart, no class---pompous, outrageous women that are eating you alive. (And they would me too.) I too shutter, drop my jaw at what they talk about, the way they behave, and their crazy personalities. Every time I watch them I feel shock & awe---God, these women are off the hook. Way, way off the mental charts. My sense is you are trying to understand what can't be understood, trying to work with women you don't need..don't want...don't care to be associated with today, tomorrow or ever. Crazy people make you feel crazy...don't they?
What if I suggested, 'hey, stay on the show and fight back' or 'hey, get your reality game on'? Kelly, honestly, I don't really think you are cold enough, heartless enough or crazy enough to compete much less win.
You're not one of them, thank goodness. Hang in there. L

Hi Kelly: I for one have a lot of respect for you. I find that you present yourself well, except for the brass monkey incident, I think you are great! Keep your eyes on your goal and you'll make it! LOL

Okay, maybe this is petty, but Heavens to Mergatroid people, you sit there telling Kelly what a pseudo intellectual she is but some of you don't seem to know the difference between "you're" and "your," and "their" and "there." I'm a single mom, too, who is chronically on time, raised my kid all alone (no money, no help) and I still know how to spell!

I'm not fond of you, Kelly. I am certain that speaking in circles as you do is a deflection. I don't really care.

I do, however, care that American can spell. Sorry, I've used your blog to vent.

Kelly,
I don't know you except for this show.
You have clearly been knocked down with all of the digs you have been taking. I hope you do read your blogs and watch yourself on the shows,they can only help you. You don't have to explain yourself to anyone. Sooooo Whaaaaat! I think most people have made a fool of themselves in one way or another. I know I have.
Best to all!

Those other "women" on the right side of the set behaved like classless, vicious, petty fools.
You showed grace. I don't know how or why you and Alex can stand to be in the same room with them.

Good God, Kelly! Stop....just, stop! Seriously, Kelly! Stop! TRHONYC used to be one of my favorite shows until this season when they added you to the mix. I honestly cannot believe that you've been able to get as far in life as you have with the limited intellect, non-existent tact and chronic tardiness that you displayed all season long on the show. I've read a lot of the other readers' comments and they're right on the money regarding your chronic lateness to everything you attend. A lot of us (myself included) these days are single mothers,a dn we still manage to be on time to things. Using your children as an excuse as to why you can't show up even close to on time is a ridiculous cop out, and you should be ashamed. Not just that, but you made yourself look totally stupid by the way you talk in circles and make no sense. If anything, you seem like you're on some type of tranquilizer or drug. You can't seem to string together even one logical sentence, and you're by far, the most annoying woman on the show. And even though you seem to think that you're more important than the other women, I had never heard of you before this season. I seriously hope that Bravo does not renew your contract for next year, because the scenes with you in them frankly ruin the show as a whole. Your self-important attitude, coupled with your strange, high-pitched baby voice that you use at parties "Hiiieeeegh!" "Hiiiieeegh!" are like fingernails on a chalkboard. You claim that you're such a private person, so how about you just tell Bravo that you'd rather not do the show next time? That way, you get your "privacy" that you claim to love so much, and us viewers get to enjoy the show without you ruining it with your utter stupidity and ridiculousness! And by the way, Bethenny is twice the woman you are- she knows how to treat people, has class, intelligence, and is successful without having to ride her ex-husband's coat tails as you did. Instead of constantly trying to bash her, or one-up her, which you'll never do successfully, you should have befriended her and tried to learn something from her. Like how to behave in public, perhaps. Because you haven't got a clue, Kelly.

I have to comment. I understand why Kelly was brought in this season..well all of the comments here prove it. For the ratings. It is a TV show after all. Were we hooked because of Kelly? Nah, we were already hooked.

But really Kelly you probably are a really cool person..it's just when you speak you don't seem to make sense. I would sometimes sit scratching my head trying to figure out what in the world you were talking about. So I do understand how the other housewives were confused also. Hey, nothing wrong with looking through rose-colored glasses..if it makes you feel good more power to you, but when you do that it is not necessary to defend how you view the world. When you have no point to defend then others cannot argue with you, but again this is Reality TV and oh how boring it would be if everyone actually got along right?

05/27/2009 - 12:14am
Please STOP

you should do your research before you get into a commitment and sweetie your not for reality tv. you can't take it your just lost. you can't spell and you don't have a good vocabulary and you say like so many times like your a 15 year old girl. stop talking about how you graduating form columbia. listen your not the only one and it's not like you came out with a phd. seriously you got a regular bachelors degree honey which is standard. your not a "journalist". i have read your work and it sucks. like seriously.

It's funny (but not surprising) how you say in the beginning of your blog that you never comment on any of the other housewives, then go on to specifically talk about Jill, Bethenny, and LuAnn throughout the remainder of it. Keep living in your own delusional world and please don't come back to the show - it makes all of us more stupid just listening to your nonsense!

I watched the reunion and you seemed to contradict yourself when talking about yourself and bethenny. You said you and Bethenny are totally different and then a few moments later you said you and Bethenny are totally the same.

Dear Kelly,

Skimming through your pathetic analysis of last season was a giant waste of my time. Please don't return next season, Bravo viewers are less intelligent after having been exposed to you.

Cheers!

Well I have not yet seen the reunion episode...but wow...I am surprised you made it out alive.

Kelly...WTH were those "conversations" you had with Bethanny. The one at the Brass Monkey and then sitting on a bed at Jill's I think it was. I was stunned by you, and thought if it were me you were talking to, I would be hard pressed not to knock you into the middle of next week. Honey..you were awful. Do you realize that when Bethanny tried to make a point, the only thing you could or did say...was "stop...stop...stop". It seems you are the only one entitled to speak!!!

This type of show is not your thing dearie. Beauty only goes so far...a little bit of smarts and class would be nice.

Kelly, you're a wingnut. Nothing about you was entertaining to watch. I watched the season in spite of your presence and honestly, when you were on, i got up and went to the kitchen, bathroom, whatever i needed to do that didn't involve watching you. Honestly, you need a serious reality check if you feel that your presence on the show did anything to enhance it. For all of the backbiting and fighting, at least the other ladies have some sort of redeeming qualities that make them fun to watch. You are just simply a trainwreck. Good luck to you. I hope they don't bring you back next season.

Kelly should've watched the first season and declined to join the show. Anyone with a clue about psychology can tell that she has ADD and has spent too much time in the sun, she looks ten years older than however many centuries she's been on this earth. Yeah, she's a different type of housewife, the one that deserved to be in jail for assault.

I love how your blog mentions that you never speak badly of the other housewives, never mention them in interviews, yet this is sandwiched between a Botox crack and a "Gotcha, Jill". Maybe instead of telling the Countess she should read her own book, you should read your own blog. Also, before you pat yourself on the back for "getting" Jill, you might watch the show again. Jill never said she didn't know you were coming late, she was irritated you expected a 9:45 PM text to be sufficient notice. A 9:45 message is no notice at all, it's nothing more than a perfunctory gesture. C'mon Kelly, it ain't rocket science.

Methinks thou dost protest too much. Your fundamental difference from the other housewives is that you're the only one who believes your own hype and publicity. You're very impressed with yourself and what you feel you've accomplished. You're also very untruthful, and that is such an unattractive quality that it sullies anything else you've done. Please don't come back next year.

I give you credit for comming on to a show of women who love to beat each other up. Bethanny is jealous of you and she had it in for you from the word go. Yes sometimes you talk in circles but I think your fun to watch. I love your house and your NYC apt and your little girls and I would love to see more of your life. Do not let them or anyone chace you off the show, please stay!

Kelly you are a real piece of work.This is not a compliment, you don't deserve one. You are rude, argumentative and you most certainly attacked Bethenney. I would have slapped you pretty little face just to get your attention, which at best is almost impossible. What you did at the Brass Monkey was unforgiveable, and then to wait for the the hall was a pitiful ploy for attention. When you say hi to someone you sound so phony it make me want to barf. Bethenny and Jill are my favorite housewives, Beathenny is on her way to the top and why shouldn't she promote her book. Its on the BestSeller list so It has to be pretty good. I'm though. At first I wanted you to leave the show, but your stupidity is delightful for an educated woman you really suck....

Kelly- We are not the ones who are "Hooked". As a service not just to the viewers,but to your children, please do not ever appear on any t.v. show again. Unless of course it's Intervention (sorry,Bravo). You are just to painful to watch. It is no wonder Ramona idolizes you, the two of you both operate on another planet. I wonder why when you heard about Ramona bashing Luann and her husbands age difference you didn't feel the need to defend Luann's choice to marry an older man and put Ramona in her place. Or does your ex no longer exist in Kelly world?

Kelly, why are you on the show? You are NOT a housewife.
When someone disagrees with you, you get the most painful expression on your face saying stop, stop, stop! It is funny really. But, you are not interesting at all. Just a mound of flesh (not good looking flesh). I guess the air brushing all your life makes you think we don't notice how awful you look and act. A paper bag would be more appropriate than botox.

I have recorded and watched the whole season at least 2 times. I think that Kelly is on her own planet. She talks in circles and has a very limited vocabulary. I don't understand her concept of things and she is so tangled up in herself it is pathetic. It is almost like she is acting, but doesn't know how to. I wish she'd leave the show.

Kelly, You really got kicked in head on the reunion shows, but, these girls on the blogs are tearing you a new one. If you don't come back to the show, who cares. If you do, I'll watch and do my best not to act like you or talk like a 3 year old baby girl, where did you learn that high pitch toddler voice? Sorry, I got off point.

Kelly,
As most of the people posting comments have stated in one way or another - you have issues girlfriend!! Your blog stated something to the effect that we'd be surprised to know how insecure you are. No, you might be surprised to know we're not surprised- everything about you screams insecurity!!
People who are truly secure in themselves and their accomplishments do not have to remind us of them constantly.You have a college degree form Columnia - ok. That's great, but you're a college graduate, not a Rhodes Scholar or Nobel Prize winner! We're talking about a bachelors degree, not multiple graduate degrees, a Ph.d, M.D. or law degree.
It seems there is a persona or character that you've tried to create - the bohemian housewife who is down to earth and above trivial matters. Well,it's not working for you. As others have said, you're soooooo contradictory. You lecture bethany about not crying, yet were you not teary eyed over "a boy" just minutes earlier? You talk about how you were "attacked"? Perhaps there was editing, but are you really so fragile and insecure that you believe someone calling you "Madonna" (after your rude LATE entrance) is an attack? News flash - I can assure you there are many people w/ far greater responsibilities than you (ie - from CEOs to the President) who are able to arrive ON TIME. You portray yourself as an intellectual, yet when someone responds to you in a logical manner, you quickly retreat w/ "this conversation means nothing to me", blah,blah, blah. Now, unlike some of the others, I'm quite sure you read this blog - narcisstic, insecure people need to know what others think about them to be validated. Can all of these people (along w/ the others in your life who have undoubtedly told you the same thing be jeolous, negative haters?
I'm sure you'll find this shocking, but I live in L.A. and I never heard of you prior to the show.In parting, let me suggest, truly successful people have a skill called self-analysis. Perhaps you should learn more about it. Now please excuse me, but I have to get back to my studies for the upcoming California Bar Exam. By the way, regardless of what's going on,test day(s)I can not be late.
Thank God you didn't go into medicine. I would not want to be in labor or on the operating table waiting for you to arrive!!

Kelly, please--get over yourself.

I'm a Mom too and manage to get to my social functions without the help of a personal assistant, driver or nanny--ON TIME at least 99.9%. This is because I plan ahead and recognize that when other people are waiting on me, that my time, nor my children's, is any more important than theirs.

It's one thing to be late due to unexpected circumstances (i.e., an accident, profuse bleeding from a major artery, death in the family) but another to be CHRONICALLY late and then blame it all on the excuse that "my kids come first" and "too bad you had to wait that long".

The way you talked to Bethanny and Luann was awful and you playing "poor me" because of your bad choices is ridiculous.

Please grow up and stop whining. Your explanations sound a lot more like excuses.

Confused in NY

If you think "being accomplished" means being lucky enough to be born beautiful and then using that beauty to marry a wealthy man, take his name and then use it to get ahead in life, honey you're sadly mistaken.

Also, graduating from Columbia with a General Studies or whatever ridiculous and meaningless degree it is you have, is no grand accomplishment. If you can pay the bill, they let you in.

Kelly - I saw what you were up against when I saw Ramona get off the fence and try to high 5. They are all sooo proper as they put you in the chopper but your kindness turns them to mince. You looked sassy and didn't have to show your .... Tidy whities are a hoot when you wear a dress that costs soo much loot, how classy:)

All of these women act as if they are in high school. Bethenney thinks she is all knowing, Jill is fake, Ramona is a complete idiot, the Countess and Alex are the most real of the bunch because they seem to really not care about the B.S.. These women acted so silly I was immediately annoyed: your not real, your not authentic"--Who cares, your all rich as hell, and not having real jobs must leave alot of time open for you. I really cant take Bethenney anymore though, she always has a negative comment about someone, even the Alex and Simon's apartment she just can't be positive to people.
