- Kelly talks A-List, her date with Max, the Saks campaign, and more!
While the press is having a field day with "Kelly was fired," I was in Los Angeles for the Bravo A-List Awards, and to work on my new jewelry line, which will be in stores soon.
First to clear the media air, models aren't on staff so they don't get fired, it's not a 9-5 job and we are not on Celebrity Apprentice. When the press is writing about me like that, they are clearly searching for content. I am flattered that they write about me, and a close friend who also works in the media said that I had really made it, because the media is crazy to find anything to write: good, bad, or ugly. So, in the spirit of media, keep the press coming - it makes my brand and all that I am doing stronger and more recognizable. The good news is that America knows II was the name and face of Saks Fifth Avenue's new brand, called WEAR. The line is really hot for it sold out within weeks, and they held an amazing luncheon for me at the Saks store on 5th Avenue in New York, which is featured on my television show, Behind the Hedges on www.plumtv.com. So, out of something bad came something great. Being the name and the face of Saks was so much fun, I got to style, model, and talk about what women need in their wardrobe. I had a great time modeling and working for Saks. Retail is just like working in a magazine, except they create their own product too in addition to selling other lines. I was so impressed at how the Saks team forecasts future fashion so distinctly. My first fashion show as a model was for Saks in Chicago, so I have a strong affection for them. More importantly, I am happy that the collection did so well. It is a strong testament to who they are as a major department store.

Kelly, I am shocked at the amount of bashing you receive from viewers and even cast members. You are a gal who is simply above jumping in the mud wrestling ring. You work and set the RIGHT example for your children for social etiquette and are raising ladies just like yourself. Yes, you have the silver spoon thing going, but anyone who cannot appreciate your stand on charity is clueless. Your "hands on" networking speaks much louder about the true CHARITABLE SPIRIT and than organizing and churning out the same auction parties with corporate support for the other women's self acclaimed causes. They don't understand that their are thousands of small community non-profits who help others without the audience, just as you prefer. I work 60 hours a week, sometimes earning less than $100 to help a few women owned small businesses at a time stay afloat in our community. Every dress and beauty item contributed by suburban housewives is sold by The Little Shop of Hoarders as unassuming women join a circle of giving I call "saving grace for shopaholics.". I would find the same thing you do about these gals' social affairs to be horribly boring. I meet one great gal after another with no strings attached and completely see what you mean about just celebrating every individual for their great spirit, not their big name.
Please stay the way you are.

Why do you keep giving us your resume?? And every other sentence you mention about how much carity work you do!! Pathetic! Stop overcompensating because you sounded like a careless b***h on the show.....you even told Luann that you weren't envolved in any charities!!! She looked at you shocked and told you that you could be apart of some of hers! Everyone remembers that!!!!

I just watched the april 28 episode where kelly and bethenny is talking about again. kelly is like lost and doesnt remember everything nasty that she has said to bethenny before "look, you are here and i am here" etc.. honestly is kelly taking something?? she is like loooosst... she has this little world that only her revolves in it. and she cannot take all the thinking it seems like she is not used to using her brain too much. i mean honestly, yes, she looks like a model but brain-wise she really has a little of it. bethenny is trying to clear the air and kelly is telling her to stop, stop stop.. what's wrong with her?? she is so into herself, that she doesn't really care what she tells other people and forgets about it. and even the way she talks is kind of weird she has this wide mouth but there is really nothing interesting that's coming out of it. i am sorry but that is just my opinion she is really irritating, kind of in the level of the egoistic ramona and her husband mr. ramona.

So many of these ladies have already said most of what I want(ed) to say; but I'll add my few cents worth anyway. I began to become irritated with you from the moment you showed up HALF AN HOUR late to the gathering of the committee for Jill's Arthritis Charity (in honor of her daughter).
Then, you had the audacity to call it "Cute"? What was cute about it? The fact that Jill's daughter has arthritis or the fact that a mother loves her daughter enough to stage a charity event to raise funds to find a cure for a debilitating disease?
You made it a point to say "No" and then went on, ad nauseum, about how you couldn't stay. UGH! YOU need to take some lessons in manners, NOT etiquette!
You hold NO interest for me whatsoever! I find you totally BORINGLY UNCUTE! *Yawn*

Unfortunately for you, you have come across as a very self absorbed and immature woman this season.I'm all for giving a person a second chance, so if you're on next season I hope we will see a kinder ,nicer Kelly.Sometimes I get the impression that even though you are a model you are uncomfortable in a group and in front of the T.V. camera.Am I correct?Also, that hiiiiiii, Hiiii really comes across as phony. And self conscious.

When Bethenny said Kelly flirted with her old boyfriend. I laughed out loud. I was like how can she be holding on to that and it was so long ago. LOL! That was being a NO person... No I will not let this go. I will hate Kelly for flirting with my ex-boyfriend for life. lol

I like Bethenny and Kelly. But, I see where Kelly got annoyed with Bethenny. First off Bethenny sounds like one of those children that didn't get enough attention from the popular kids in school and now that they're adults Bethenny still just can't get over it. Bethenny sounds childish when she says... I am not famous enough for her to pay attention to. You all are not friends. You met a few times but that's it and Kelly has most likely met plenty of people more than a few times but no one else gets that offended when she's speaks but doesn’t stand around for hours gossiping. What does Bethenny want; Kelly’s first born? Bethenny to me is just bitter and jealous. I like Bethenny. But, right is right and wrong is wrong!

Kelly, I like you and Bethenny. I saw that you had a legitimate reason for the sit down with Bethenny. (Going back to this old story; I apologize). Bethenny was rude and childish by calling you out your name. Not everyone finds her jokes funny. Some may find them annoying. Bethenny and Kelly are not friends for Bethenny to make a joke about Kelly and expect for Kelly not to get offened. Just because Kelly doesn't lend her name; that's Kelly perogative who is Bethenny to say anything. Bottom line Kelly doesn't have to do anything. She has that choice. Just because Kelly doesn't operate the way Bethenny by being a yes person does that make Kelly a bad person NO!

Kelly. Your owl jewelry looks like really ugly crap that my grandma bought from Sarah Coventry back in the 1960s and can now be found for fifty cents at garage sales. So ugly you'll have to pay people to wear it. You are an arrogant and odious human being but the one saving grace I thought you had was style. My bad.

It was clear to me that the only reason that you donated so much to Jill's charity is because you made such a fool of yourself. You are very transparent with how insecure you must be. You also made a fool of yourself when you met with Max after you "talk" with Bethany. Stop acting like a smitten teenager and have some "class." If you aren't sure of the meaning, ask Bethany because she oozes class. I think that you are a 40+ women who is acting like she is 21, and not doing a very good job of it.
By the way, and I do have very good taste, and do spend several hundred thousand dollars a year on jewelry, I don't like it at all. I hope that is just that I don't like the jewelry and isn't because you have shown yourself to be such an ugly soul that it reflects in your line.

Shocked got it all wrong above.
Kelly's head is big, Bethany's is not.
Bethany is a superstar cause she is a worker and she has built herself.
Kelly just married someone who thought she was model material. or maybe she was amodel of sorts and then the old man she married built her. Blah. Then she quickly had kids for a free ride.
Kelly looks like she is desperate to go to all parties and be seen.
Bethany doesnt care about doing that.
Also if Bethany doesnt like you she wont be fake and nasily say HI to everyone and do a big fake grin. Bethany will just walk right past you.
Why? Bethany is secure. Kelly is not. Kelly is SOOO insecure. Which agian is why she has to dangle a young model guy on her arm for attention. Seems lately she cant go anywhere without that young hot security blanket hanging form her arm.
Bethany doesnt need to do that.

Thanks Jill Marie - You stated everything perfectly - Kelly definitely did not listen, her mission was to control the entire conversation wihtout listening. To me Bethenney has way more class than Kelly.
Kelly needs to take a chill pill and be a lot more respectful to others and stop being so self centered. Kelly, you definitely need to re-watch the episodes to see the true you, which isn't very nice and learn from that. I hope your daughters aren't being affected by your actions. Use this as a lessons learned in life. You seem like you have a lot of anger.

You felt you had to conduct a meeting just so you could tell Bethanney you dont like her. it was so very funny, because your obnoxious behavior, your over the top arrogance, made so many people disgusted with you. I cant believe how you TRIED to treat her. was never one of Bethanny's biggest fans, but I am now. I admire the tact she had with you, even though you were so childish and unattractive. I hope you watch this and actually learn something from it. otherwise, after putting yourself on national tv, and acting this way? I feel very sorry for your kids.

Kelly - I would expect a woman of your age and supposed social status to possess more class and maturity than you do on the show. I think your attempt at giving Bethenny a "time out" was very poor and I hope that you learned that Bethenny is a much tougher and stronger individual than you could ever be. Just because you are famous (although I have never heard of you) doesn't make you a better person than Bethenny or anyone else. Your higher than thou attitude just shows that you are a fake and weak individual. Bethenny may not be an ex-model and be wealthy, but she has more class and beauty than you do in your teeny tiny little brain. If you are so dumbfounded as to why people in the media have such negative things to say about you - perhaps you should grow up and try thinking before you open your mouth. You are so scatter brained and sporadic that it is really embarrassing.

Your comments in closing this week's blog are a bit condescending. "If I can run a marathon to support these children, you can buy a pair of panties for 10 dollars to make a child smile."
Honey, your viewers are out running their own marathons, mentoring at-risk children, coordinating silent auctions--organizing their own charitable contributions. It is admirable that you are working with the folks at Sloan Kettering, but folks around the country (and world) are working boots on the ground to help their communities in their own individual ways. It may serve you well to look outside of yourself and your own world.

Kelly, Hopefully this whole situation with Bethenny is resolved by now. I believe it could have been worked out when you met at the bar, but you were so hot headed and irrational that you weren't open to really "talk with" or "listen to" Bethenny. You were on your soap box slinging your anger without considering anything else but yourself and your own feelings. Bethenny tried to tell you where it all started, that she met you several times and you treated her like she was invisible making her feel that she wasn't important enough for you to talk to because she wasn't famous. When she came to your house with her boyfriend/photographer, you treated her as if she were invisible, and you were very friendly with her boyfriend, which Bethenny interpreted as "flirting." She felt your actions were inappropriate, even if YOU felt there was no harm done. Bethenny in turn, at the fashion show, treated YOU the way she felt you had treated HER in the past. Now you are on her turf, a newbie on a television show that she was already a part of.
If you can forgive each other and listen to each other, I think you can at least have an amicable relationship, not necessarily "friends." Bethenny was trying to apologize to you about the Madonna statement, but you were not interested in resolving anything with her, you were only interested in telling her off because YOUR feelings were hurt. Realize that this all started a long time ago when you mistreated Bethenny. Even though you didn't do it on purpose, it still happened, and its a lesson to be learned in how to treat others.

Kelly,
I'm shocked you are being trashed because you don't possess the ability to tear someone apart verbally like Bethenny. Maybe you're just nicer than Bethenny and haven't made it a mission in your life to rip other women apart.
It seems clear you aren't used to dealing with such a negative woman and aren't well versed in attacking other people. That is a good trait.
She rips women apart like it's her sport of choice, that is not the behavior of a happy person and she will try to drag you down to her level.
It seems ignoring her is what really bothers her the most, she seems desperate for you to treat her like she's a superstar. I hope you continue to ignore her, her head is so big that it's about to implode.

Kelly you are so beautiful! I'm a fan of both you and Bethenney, but I have to say that I think the way you are being treated is terrible and unflattering to those making such ugly comments.
It was very easy to see in the fight clip, that you are a Shy Girl, that maybe doesn't have the vicious tongue needed in order to spar with Bethenney.
In your defense, Bethenney has done nothing and did nothing but whine and complain about you, make comments about you, and in general try and make you look bad since you came on the show...and then when you'd finally had enough and decide to stand up for yourself, you end up looking like the bad person.
Please know that there are women out in Bravo TV Land, that think you are wonderful and really do not enjoy seeing you humilated just because you stood up for yourself.
You are beautiful! Charming! And I LOVED the green dress with the Pink Boots. ADORABLE!

This is a quote from you in Harper's Bazaar:
"Honestly, if being inauthentic means graduating from Columbia University, writing three books, starting two magazines, bearing two children [daughters Sea, 10, and Teddy, 8], being the ambassador for wool, running a marathon for charity — if that's inauthentic? Tell me what authentic is."
You DID NOT GRADUATE FROM COLUMBIA. You might want to clarify that on your blog at some point, as well as stop telling people you earned a degree there. It's incredibly easy to find this sort of thing out.
Congrats on the kids and the books and kudos to you for running a marathon. What year(s) did you run? I know they keep stuff like that online for a very long time and oddly enough, I'm unable to find your name as a finisher.
Good luck with that Ambassador of Wool thing. That sounds AWESOME. Really. It does.

Kelly,
I would like to know why Bethenny is able to be so mean to you and constantly trash you but the second you respond to her horrible treatment you are trashed.
Bethennny started the drama and negative energy between you and her, she should be the one to make the situation better. She seems so negative and catty this season and it obviously hurt and upset you, as it would most any person with feelings.
I'm really tired of Bethenny's attitude towards single women, it's not very attractive. She seems to think it's okay to rip other women apart like it's a sport and not receive any backlash.

What guts you, and the other cast members, to go onto this show. We all have defects, and God knows I would be so embarrassed seeing mine after an editing room. I like you because your blogs and time on the show are not as catty/petty slamming the other cast members...most of the time. They are productive actions and comments on what you are doing with your life. Bethany obviously has her own issues, was after you, aimed to pushed your buttons with her quick wit, and you lost some composure and focus. Haven't we all, at least one time, gotten upset and lost composure in those types of situations. Keep striving for that high road Kelly, and will enjoy to see other projects in which you are involved.

Kelly-- Please stop claiming you graduated from Columbia! You are obviously trying to mislead everyone into thinking you actually were accepted and graduated as an undergrad.

Kelly,
I give you the benefit of the doubt. It's only been a short time so I'm hoping we see a better portrayal.At the end of the day, you haven't done anything wrong or inappopriate. I understand your response to Jill and the others pushing you into the charity situation. I also understand how Bethany was, in my mind, the rude one.
In fact, I DO think Bethany is a bit jealous (as Jill suggested) and she and Ramona are the most judgemental, holier-than-thou of them all.
However, I recommend that you review the tapes and viewer posts with a really good PR person who can tell you why it is people seem not to care for you.
Just like the Countess, you are both just a little left of center in your comments and they come out all wrong.
I hope you take this advice; best of luck in the meantime.

Stop feeding into the Bethany B.S. - Bring the attitude down a notch. It's not necessary. You've got alot more going on for you then the rest of the ladies on the show!

Kelly, I appreciate the fact you have your own career, more than I can say for the other ladies. I liked you up until the point you told Bethany she was below you. That was uncalled for. If you don't like, then don't like her - move on. You both like being the 'it' girl!
You agreed to meet her & you were late. Then, you found nothing wrong with that. The whole issue between you & Bethany is childish. You don't like her so why did you invite her to the fashion show? Then, you agreed to come to a meeting for a charity and said you don't like your name to be attached or assigned to anything. Why did you bother to even show up? If you had questions, you could've asked one of the other ladies before agreeing to come to the meeting. You could've easily said, 'I am not sure right now about committing to this event' & left it at that. Now, you come off like a b#$%^! Stop hanging out with them if they are so beneath you. That's what being real is about .. not bulls^&*'g people!

Why do you keep carrying on this ridiculous feud with Bethenny? Just read the interview where you evoked what you thought were indicators of authenticity: going to college, having children, running marathons for charity, etc. Anyone can do these things and not be 'authentic'. Authentic people don't talk about giving to charities (nor do they promise things they can't follow through on) - they just do it anonymously. Any idiot can bear a child. And, as someone with an MS degree in clinical psych, I can tell you I've met many a phony who has graduated from college! Yes, even ivy league schools! So your indicators for how 'authentic' you are - well, they are very superficial and just proves the point of your inauthenticity.

I think it is commendable that you donate to the neuroblastoma fund at Sloan Kettering but I hate when I hear a PORTION of proceeds will be donated. That usually means very little most of the time. That said I also think you should come down to earth , you are not all that. In fact you are childish and petty and no man wants to hear a woman complain about a fight with another woman while he is on a date. You dont hold a candle to Bethenny, period ! She is the bomb. The show was much better without you on it. Your blogs are filled with one topic YOU YOU YOU

Kelly,
How can you say that you are so "charitable" and "happy to help" when none of what you promised actually materialized for the charity??

From your blog:"If I can run a marathon to support these children, you can buy a pair of panties for 10 dollars to make a child smile."
How about this? I will donate $100 for the kids if you leave the show? Then the kids and I will smile. I'm serious. Leave the show and the donation goes in the mail THAT DAY!

Kelly you are misunderstood and the pretty girl always is. They want to find something wrong with you and if they can't they will make it up. I understand the situation between you and Bethenny. Both you and Bethenny got a little off subject last week and you were just misunderstood. Hold you head up high! Kelly you Rock!

Kelly, get over yourself. You are a low-self esteem person. Who is not a secure person at all cause, you have to tell everyone who you know where you went to school all that.
Besides that know knew who you were until the show. So, don't assume when someone meets you they are suppose to know who you are and what you do.
NO one care either. Your a bit NASTY and do you get off by treat other people like garbage. There are more successful women out there that you can not hold a candle to. Besides thats that they don't have to go around with there resume tell new people they meet.
Braxvo TV should FIRED YOU. But, under contract they have to finish with you. I would not sign you on again for any show. You are trying to get ahead to. To make yourself a household name. I thought you said " you would noe let your name to any charity or such.
JUST GET OVER YOURSELF. KNOW ONE CARES WHO YOU ARE. You are not a Super model. So,know one in this country could care less.

Dear Bravo,
Watching Kelly is like watching paint dry on the wall. Read her blog, it will bore you to tears because all she writes about his HERSELF. Sorry, you are NOT that wonderful.
Good luck on your next butt kissing fame seeking career.
From a loyal HW watcher!

Kelly - you are so fake. I find you so hard to watch when your segments are on. I really hope you don't come back next season. Watching someone behave the way you do makes me so sad. You are no better than anyone else.

Kelly,
I think that you are delusional. You came off as a spoiled rotten teenager in your conversation with Bethenny. She showed that she had real class in the confrontation. You showed that you have no class and no clue!

Kelly honestly can't seem to get her story straight about her incounter with Bethanny. Each person she has told the story she tends to be embellished. Depends on who is her audience is.
Sorry, but I have no idea why she was invited to join the show. To keep it interesting.
She is as rude as Romanda.
My favorites are Jill and Bethanny they are honest and they even fill bad when they thing the have gone to far. At least Jill, example Alex and her husband.

Here is a quote in People magazine straight from you, Kelly...."It’s not enough for New York to know me. I wanted the rest of America to know me. " I don't think that was such a good idea.
You should have done yourself a favor and stuck to a little anonymity. Now the world knows what kind a person you are.

For those of you who thinks Kelly has moved on from her feud with Bethenny, think again. Just search her and Harper's Bazaar magazine. She's still fuming over stuff! She really needs to grow up.

Kelly, you say a "portion" of the profits from the sale of your panties goes to your charity? Can you tell me how much from the sale of each panty goes to the charity and how much you personally profit from each sale?

Jill says in her blog you didn't come through with the charitable donations. I know why too. They weren't yours to give.
You are a taker and use people who can do something for you. I do think you are simple and it must have been at someone else's direction to offer Jill charitable items because you made it very clear and quite plainly, I don't do charity work to the Countess.
You are transparent with zero redeeming qualitities. Not too late to learn and step it up. I wish you luck and offer this advice, step back and picture yourself watching yourself. See what others see. Only then will you recognize your shortcomings and attempt to become a decent human being....if that's is what you want.

Kelly,
I think you're basically a good person and you were holding your own w/Beth til you got upset at the end and then was waiting for her. Don't do that anymore...show them how you really are and just go on with it. I like Beth too but we all don't have to like everyone and she's certainly not holding you back. Just keep moving forward and living a good life.

kelly, why are you so mean and uppity? you seriously are not any prettier than anyone else, yet you think you are. Please don't insult the rest of us "mid west" girls by saying the stuff you do. You seriously have a problem with your self image and that is the reason you act the way you do I LOVED all the Housewives serious up until you, please, get over yourself! I am so not alone with this!

- I'm on your side
Kelly,
I can't figure out why you would give Bethenny the time of day. She has been trashing you behind your back and now to your face, who would want to associate with such a mean spirited and bitter woman?
She is so negative this year. I think the show has gone to her head and when you didn't bow down to her, she flipped her insecure lid.
It's not even clear why she doesn't like you other than a few ex-boyfriends ago flirted with you or you with him. How childish can one get? What is she, 12?
It's funny that Bethenny started the drama and treated you like crap but now she is singing the little victim tune.
You were 30 minutes late but her buddy Jill was 2 hours late and that is somehow funny. She sets up one of her friends in order to insult her and laught at her, that tells a lot about a person.
It seems like Bethenny and Jill's latest sport is trashing other women to make themselve feel good, it's nice to see you aren't going down that road.

a close friend who also works in the media said that I had really made it
The models from Bravo's show 'Make Me a Supermodel ' loved the way I walk
NeNe is crazy about the line
Even, Tori Spelling was admiring my new cuffs without me saying a word.
Jill was impressed how I handled the situation,
Good Lord...nothing like bragging about yourself, under the guise as something else. My friend said this and Jill said this, blah, blah, blah. I am on to you.

Kelly, You rock. You know a good person when you see one. Ramona is a nice person. Steer clear of Jill and Bethenny, they both think they are just wonderful. They are nasty and mean.
