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.

Pathetic

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!!!!

Kelly, how could you possibly say "oh, that's so cute" when you learned that Jill's daughter has arthritis? It's not like she got it on purpose to accesorize her outfit! Get with it girl. You looked like a totally self absorbed idiot!

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.

Wooow so u admit that u only want to be on the show to promote urself and ur stuff that is soo sad I feel bad for u u are so selfish this is not the right way to promote urself woman it takes hard work and networking the right way all u do is try and flatter ppl and it's really insincere you are really unprofessional and u need to work on ur grammer cuz u do not have good ppl skills at all the fact that u do not do charity work is really heartbreaking and in ur priveliged position I think u should really consider it Bethanney was right about you and I hope u are not on the next season...
