I was so taken off guard by "The View with no viewpoint" style of interrogations on the reunion show that I said, "the facts are this..." From the moment we walked into the Cipriani Wall Street venue the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Is all the blogging, bickering, blaming, and berating just part of the show, or do these women really feel they can police one another? Most of the time, I just sat there listening to the back and forth commentary of: you said this, and now I wanna say some really mean to show America how really mean I can be. It was so incredibly odd to watch and be a part of it. When I spoke about my recent issues that have appeared in the gossip pages, I quickly recognized that these women were reading word for word everything that was written by gossip writers. I was thinking to myself that was great kudos to the gossip of the world. Yes, out of high school, people give credence to gossip. The women were even interrupting me and telling me the facts of all the situations surrounding me. Writers are entitled to freedom of speech, and they don't need to print facts. They can editorialize and sensationalize, and yet somehow their words are interpreted as fact. Welcome to New York, the media center. As far as the specifics of the show, I am not going to rehash what you can TiVo. I will, however, say how I was truly embarrassed that they were fighting over fighting, crying over crying, and talking just to hear themselves talk. Alex is very well mannered. She says what is on her mind, and makes very clear points. Good job, Alex.

I don't know where all this jealousy stems from. Who cares how Alex got her book deal, she has one. What an amazing journey for her. Why the jealousy towards Ramona? She is a brilliant woman who is maximizing on her presence on the show. The jealousy and mean-spirited nature was so crazy to watch. And on top of it all, the hottest topic of the season: "I don't acknowledge these women." So, because they feel I am not their best friend or trying to be a part of their clique, they've deduced that I don't have many female friends. What? With friends who talk like that, who needs enemies? I have more than three friends - I was making a point. I don't care who you are, or who your daddy was, or who you are married to, if you are a good and honest person, we will be friends. I am nice to everyone, I even threw the crew a thank you party for being so nice to me, and the housewives got mad. I was also befuddled at how they are so sensitive to hearsay, and why they are so competitive and jealous. It's fundamentally weird. Bethenny, I have to be honest, Tommy Hilfiger and I know each other better than I know you. The New York Times magazine article said it best: Bethenny started the fight for no reason, and couldn't get out of it. Even in Ally's room, she just wanted to fight as long as the cameras were rolling, and my eyes were rolling. Why is Bethenny so obsessed with associating with the "fabulousity crowd?" The crowd does not make a baker good; the baker makes a baker good. No, I didn't know these women from before, and for some reason, they have a bone to pick. It doesn't make me a piece of anything, it makes me real.

Kelly,

You make me wanna watch the show. You're so interesting, yet I completley do not get you...not sure I ever will, but that's what makes it fun. Thanks for keeping me entertained.

I watch the Housewives of New York City and enjoy the show very much. The house wives are outspoken, have different personalities, have arguments etc etc, but they are a group and basically get along. You Kelly are not in the group, you don't want to be in the group and you take everything WAY TO PERSONALLY. I realy don't know why you are on the show. You really don't add anything to it.

The ladies and some of the viewers are right- regardless of anyone's opinion regarding you and Bethenny- you seemed to be the one to instigate the problems with her, only to exacerbate by inviting her to "chat" and then reaming her. What you say to her doesn't make sense half of the time...it's either incorrect or irrelevant or mean-spirited. She's hasn't been "perfect", either, by talking about you, but you cause the confrontation. Maybe you now see from viewing the show that what you said was innacurate? You do seem to have a very high opinion of yourself; one that goes beyond confidence. There are a lot of beautiful, attractive women in our county.

Kelly,

I would personally like to see you return to the show. You and Alex are the two people I like best. I would personally vote off Bethenny because she talks like someone from the "hood"--some of her earlier comments--"I'm a ball buster"--I'll stick these chopsticks in your eyes". In my humble opinion she is not only jealous of you but jealous of some of the others--including Martha Stewart who isn't on the show.

I agree that ALL of the housewives wanted you to like them and indeed reacted badly when they felt you didn't give them their due--whatever that is.

The viewers don't need to be reminded every show that you're down to earth, a hard-working single mom, or different from the other housewives. (Earth to Kelly, you are not the only single mom on this planet.) Who or what you are will shine through every episode. Chronic tardiness is definitely a sign that you think your time is more important than anyone else's.

I wonder why you're on the show. You talk in circles and make no sense. When confronted, you always start that whiney "Stop, stooop! Okay, wait," or you claim that the conversation doesn't matter to you. On the reunion episodes you didn't even want to talk about the show. If this isn't something you want to participate in completely, why not leave?

If you come back next season, please try to be more honest. Take responsibility for your actions. The housewives made an effort to be your friend and you blew them off. I think you should try to invite them out this time around and be on time. Max is not an amazing person. Try a new pretty boy next time. I know you love men to drool over you and you need all that attention. But, PLEASE, find other subjects to discuss when on a "date." The "Max scenes" were dreadfully boring.

Get over yourself. You are not famous. I had never heard of you before the show and still don't know what you would be famous for. I can't, for the life of me, figure out how you consider yourself successful when you can't even put a sentence together. You contradict yourself right and left and make no sense whatsoever. You seem to be unable to focus on a simple question and just answer it. Are you on medication that makes you foggy? Watch the show. Look at yourself honestly. Get help or get off the show. You are painful to watch.

You say you didn't watch Season 1. Why would a Columbia educated professional, mother and "socialite" not prepare herself so as not to be associated with an unfavorable project? I would think you would have done research on the show.

Kelly,

It is very hard to say what is the real you. Alex made a very valid point ... you are not articulate when attempting to verbalize your thoughts, whether you are upset of simply answering a question. You speak in half sentences and often contradict yourself in the same statement.

You commented on your blog about Bethenny wanting to continue the argument as long as the cameras were rolling. The fact is, she was trying (at Jill's) to resolve the conflict. You were the one who simply refused to acknowledge what you had said to her and explain yourself.

Regardless of the fact that you drive a pick-up truck, you strike me as a woman who was very spoiled as a child. If I were to describe you in one sentence, it would be: Kelly is an island surround on the north, south, east and west by Kelly.

You probably are a nice person, but you come across as someone who has put herself up on a pedestal and the rest of the world should simply be grateful you deign to acknowledge them.

If this is not who you really are, then you truly do need to watch the show with a very critical eye for your own behavior. You need to modify your ways to come across as the nice girl you appear to want to be, or maybe actually are, in your blog.

Good luck next season.

I sat here and thought of so many names to call you but as Jill said why say something if you can't say something good.

So I will just say, Kelly.. in all "realality" you really need to get some help before it all catches up to you and you have a breakdown and not know why.

I have a friend with your same personality and it will catch up to you one day as it did her, when you run out of excuses as to why you choose to hind in your little world and live behind rose colored glasses.

I hope you understand what I am saying and you read message for your own sake. I do not mean to be mean or nasty in this comment box. Good Luck!

After watching the show, you were the one of housewife who wouldn't acknowledge or take responsibility for your actions. Even Ramona would admit to the things she had done and give a reason for why she did them. You invited Bethanny out to tell her off, and then later denied half of the things you said to her! It's recorded, you should actually watch it some time!

After watching the show, you were my least favorite. Although I will admit that you express your thoughts and actions much better in your blogs, then you ever did on camera. You actually come across as a normal person with rational thoughts. On camera, you always came across like you were better than everyone else and no one was worthy of your time.

I am anxiously looking forward to next season!

I hope this actually gets posted; you saying that you never said anything bad about anyone in the interviews??? What about the things that you said about Bethenney?? I don't get it, Kelly. You have been so mean, not to mention that you're time is more important than everyone elses'. I think you got off reallllly easy on that show. You should be writing at thank you card to each of them for being so "nice" to you. There is so much more that could have come up, like with LuAnn called you on what charities you're involved in, when you were complaining about not having time to "lend your name" to Jill's charity. LuAnn said, "What charities do you support" and your repsonse? "I don't do any charities."
Wow.

It is always disheartening to see you try to defend yourself against these witless creatures. You and Alex are the classier ones by far. I would not comment negatively again, then see what they can say... unfortunately, they'll say something anyway, just stay classy. You have alot of fans that you are not even aware of. The only times you are negative is when you are trying to defend yourself - you cannot assert yourself against ignorance - ignorance just does not understand you. All of my best & God Bless you and your daughters! Thank you for sharing.

Kelly,

Forget Jill stay on the show! We love you! You are the prettiest by far so remember that is going to cause you some trouble. Bethany is so stupid always complaining about not having a man. Stop telling her she is beautiful and wonderful. She has to find that out for herself. Not that I think she is. She is a petty short little self centered troll.

They probably want you off the show because you are so great! Hang in there girl we are rooting for you!

The rest of them are just jealous heifers!

Kelly,
I think you are intelligent, ambitious and beautiful. I loved it when you first came on the show, after seeing you in action I agree with Alex...you need to be more articulate or specific on what you are feeling or wanting. The way you handled the Bethany conflict was very poor, you became emotional and left without really discussing anything about how you felt when she called you 'Madonna' and you didn't hear what she had to say. Not good conflict resolution skills. Get someone to talk to and learn how to express yourself without leaving the scene. Honestly I think you and Bethany could be really good friends if you both apologized to each other and stated your needs. Yes, she does have a sharp tongue but she knows it and is willing to take responsibility. You both are athletic, ambitious and intelligent. Make it work somehow.

It is amazing to me that you can say that Bethenny wants to pick a fight with you. Yes, she does now, I would too if someone talked to me the way you talked to her. You never let her speak, continually you interrupted her saying things that were very rude. I understand why the girls are hard on you because I think you are fake. You try to say what you think everyone wants to hear or what makes you look good. I was amazed how many times you lied on the show this season to make it look like you were the victim. Please!!!!

Kelly was quiet in the Reunion show because Kelly has trouble expressing her thoughts. Alex came to the rescue and articulated what Kelly could only express with hand gestures.

If Kelly wants to be understood, she needs to work on her verbal skills, otherwise stay tuned for more hand signals next season.

Kelly ~ I watch the "Housewives of NYC" with my 17-year old daughter. We watched the reunion special together. Without me saying anything about you, she said "why doesn't that woman make any sense when she talks."? I said I wasn't sure. But what sealed the deal for us was your "explanation" of why you and Bethenny weren't friends but then changing that to "we could have been friends"... we are so much alike, huh? I can't imagine that all those women are *out to get you*...they just see, as we do from watching, a shallow woman who enjoys *her* life and says "who cares" about anything or anyone else.

Kelly - you never seem to answer the questions. You talk about something else. They asked why you IGNORE them at parties - not why you aren't their best friend. Either start answering and telling the truth or leave. Maybe Alex is right - maybe you are simply inarticulate. I don't know but from where I sit you need some professional help. You only see things from your own perspective.

Kelly - Jill blurted out that you live in a $15m mansion in the Hamptons. Sounds pretty authentic. That must be the stick up her back when it comes to trying to eliminate you. I look forward to watching you grow and prosper as we have seen with Alex. You two really do have class. It would be fun to see HER as your new BFF.

Just finished watching the second reunion episode and you are my new favorite housewife. Kudos to you and Alex for putting your kids first. You both really showed the other housewives what it means to have grace and class (take note Countess). I do like Bethany, but she lashes out in the most unpredictable ways.

What's clear to me after watching these two shows is that ALL the wives wanted you to like them and reacted badly when they felt you weren't giving them their due. Can't wait to see what happens next....

Kelly never fully addresses the other ladies. She talks about how zen and drama free her life is but she always seems to be in a constant state of drama with someone. I think that Kelly thrives on the drama so that she'll get more camera time because america tunes into it. "What is going to happen next?" is what keeps Americans watching and Kelly does her best to keep her name in the headlines. Then when another cast member confronts Kelly about her poor actions she turns her focus on what the other castmember looks like and how successful they are. Attempting to butter them up while she completely ignores the entire situation and acts like she has no idea what they are talking about and that everything is childish when she herself, doesn't seem like she has left high school.

Kelly will say one thing then say something else to contradict it. Bethany is right, you are not on this planet. You should go back and watch these shows and really see how you come across. I have never in my life been moved to make a comment like this about anyone on any television show, but this has been so ridiculous, I had to. Watching the ridiculous scenes with Kelly were enough to make me not ever watch the show again. I'm sorry, don't want to be hurtful but you really need to take a good long look in the mirror and stop thinking with your ego.

You are beautiful and the other (LADIES??) are jealous. Are you kidding me? Why would they care so much about your life if they weren't? All they do is drag you down. You need to let them go. I am alot like you. I don't have a lot of girlfriends and girls were always jealous of me growing up. I have two kids and realize that, just because your an adult doesn't mean people REALLY grow up, does it. Sometimes people have to knock others to make themselves feel better. BUT, that is their problem not yours!!!! You are awesome. Keep being positive!!

I'm still trying to figure out why you took such offense at being called "Madonna". The last time I checked, she was pretty much the most famous, kick-ass, and fearless woman in the world. Perhaps Bethenny thought she called you - and you thought you heard - "Primadonna". In any case, learn when to take a complement and shut up already. For crying out-loud!,

Kelly,

I've been watching the show since it's inception and I truly think that you are a beautiful woman, but you really are all about you.
I find that the way you treat the other woman to be unusual.
When Bethenny confronted you in Ali's bedroom, she was trying to tell you how she felt about the way you make her feel. And she had a valid gripe. You are a little rude.
All you did was shut her down. She couldn't relay her feelings to you. I believe it was because you knew you were wrong and just didn't wanted to be called on it.
Sometimes one must let someone tell them what they don't like about them and absorb it with dignity, apologize for making her feel that way and try not to do it again.
Humility is something you should try. It would make you more pleasant to be around.

As a teacher I know the bully is born from a broke home and deep rooted insecurity, we can only hope Bethenny finds her peace, settles down & stops projecting.

Keep your head up, you have more grace than you know. All these hostile women would throw anyone for a loop & let's face it, the editors aren't doing you any favors.

In the end, this show needs more Kelly-time and less ball-busting, mean-girls dramafests. Stay happy & stay fablous.

BEVERLY:
Thats such bullshit. Bethanny has a quick wit sense of humor.
Nothing spiteful about it...she has a quick wit and yes I bet some of that came from defending herself through-out the wonderful life she has built for herself. YOu cannot build that on a kiss-my-ass attitude. So lets get on board ladies she is fast to the punch on the one liners, just as I am-100% always have been and have many friends who love my quick one liners. They are one liners not pistols. Sheesh..............talk about ball-busting

I do give you kudos for the donated items for Jills charity. Although I really think you pulled them out because Bethanny answered a woman who asked who you thought you were. She answered.."Madonna"
I wonder what the other woman thought you were?

I think you should get over yourself and just enjoy the things in life you have without pretending everything is wonderful and you will find it gives you humanness qualities that people will like, can relate to. That is what makes these shows people you can relate to. But, to also watch your catfights which you all seem to get into each season.

Kelly like the answer you gave about who should be voted off.Noone should be voted off.Jill is a hyprcrite,you have done so much for her charity and she doesn't know what charity is about.She need soul searching..Jill is too warped up in society and her money that she cannot see the light of day..We all go through stuff in our lives,you are no exception and so is the others.What happen to you can happen to all of them..Pray when the enemy is trying to attack you girl only prayer can lift you up..DONOT COME OFF THE SHOW TO SUIT ANY OF THEM!, Jill is so boring and her bickering gives a headache,You all need to understand each other and go with the flow and work togather and get out of each others business that doesn't concern you all.Let PEACE abide..Little drams with integrity is ok..I never knew that people in that circle behave so badly and like that.They are the first to turn up there noses of people who lives in the project;they are no better.As the saying goes "Is not where you live makes you a good person is what is inside".If you take a hog out of the dirt and put a clean white shirt on and he sees a puddle of mud he cannot resist not going in the mud,so he is back to his old ways..Jealousy get noone anywhere.The rest of the haters on the shower need to wise up..

there are a lot of accusations being thrown around that this woman is jealous of that woman and vice versa. really, who cares? everyone on this earth has probably been jealous of another person for one reason or another at some time in their life. it's human nature.

now, the real issue is this. kelly, what are you ever talking about? i haven't a clue! you claim to have a wonderful education and have written articles in magazines but it's really hard to believe. a blog is a very simple form of communication...short, sweet and just thoughts from your head. i have read a few entries and every time i do, i feel dumber. i am still waiting for just one coherent thought to come out of that brain of yours. the one i know you have to have because you're walking around this planet talking and breathing like the rest of us...

I am in agreement with the previous post from Mary J. Smith. Run away from the show as fast as you can! You're beautiful, intelligent and have built a wonderful life for yourself and your girls! The show was entertaining, all of cast members did benefit from the publicity and from reading a few of the previous posts, it's absurd to judge you or your castmates based on a few minutes a week of highly edited programming. Best of luck to you!

Kelly, RUN! Run and don't look back! Jill had a point about this show not being good for you. She's right, you know why? Because you're too good for this! These women are vicious, not to mention classless! People with true class don't carry on like that! You know that. There are people living in trailer parks who could teach these women a thing or two about manners. And since when is honesty more important than the possibility of hurting someone's feelings? But let's face it, they use "honesty" as license to be downright NASTY. *Shiver* They're awful!

Do you really need this show? Do you really want to subject yourself to the likes of Bethenny again? You can't defend yourself against someone like her unless you sink to her level. Do you really want to go there? I just think it's HYSTERICAL that someone as vile as Bethenny can then turn around and tell Ramona she's being mean. LOL! The nerve! But we all know she'll stop at nothing.

Don't do it Kelly! Don't do it!

Kelly, I always, always, give people a chance, maybe to much sometimes. I keep an open mind to all types of people and different personalities. But, some things you do are very rude towards other people..eg: when the set woman brought you a tissue you didn't even say thank you to her. That was rude! Than you said something like "i don't need a tissue. Okay, whatever, it was a very nice gesture that Jill made, they were trying to be nice.
I feel like you envision yourself in away that you can't portray. (Your delusional in a sense.) Thats okay...at least you can view yourself on tape and get to whatever it is you are trying too express, or portray if that something really does exist. Its like your, out of control, not sure, you don't know? I think your still searching for that something fabulous you KNOW doesn't really exist, and you probably don't want it to.
TV is not for eveyone. Personally I think you got way in over your head and you just couldn't handle or grasp it.(It is very clear when you are up against all of the other people on the show) It makes for shattered nerves that are not welcome. I want to relax when I watch TV.
Kelly I wish you the best in life but, if I were you and had all that money and was able to just lounge around the pool, horseback ride, write, whatever, I would relish just being there for the kids. I understand that you want to be productive in life, most people do. I think you just chose the wrong thing. I am sure you will find what you are truly looking for. People will like you more if you just be yourself.

Hello Kelly, Welcome to your first season. WoW, that was unreal. I like all the ladies except Ramona. Both she and her husband childish,stupid and think that they are better than anyone else. Is she supporting him? I have watched tennis for years and never heard of him. LuAnn stay strong even the rich has bad days. Bethenny GROW UP, so what, Kelly met you years before and didnot fall at your feet but acknowledge your friend. You are still harping on that moment, some people never connect so there is no reason to be so rude NO CLASS BETH U R BETTER THAN THAT SHOW IT. kELLY KEEP UR HEAD UP STAY U. ALSO I HAVE HEARD YOUR NAME MENTIONED QUITE OFTEN ON ANTM. AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL

OK, I just got to watch the whole show and I'm still crying tears of laughter over one moment in the reunion. Kelly tells her story of woe and gets a tissue, fertilizes the lawn and everyone is quiet and then Luann speaks up and says; "Well he's definitely not a nice man". OMG that was fricking hilarious!

Hi Kelly:

When you relayed what happened with the court case against you it broke my heart to see how upset you were about how you felt your good name had been damaged. Don't worry! America ony remembers what happened last week. Keep moving forward, it all blows over so quickly anyway, right?

Hold your held high.

Good luck with your beautiful kids.

crissy,

Kelly never helped out that the event. She only went as a guest and accepted an award that she didn't earn. It was no mistake that Jill forgot to call her name until someone reminded her.

Kelly, you were the most beautiful that I have seen you on the reunion show. The more I watch you the more frustrated I become. It seems as though you have so much to contribute but due to editing or circumstances your point is not clearly made. You have been able to clarfiy much through your blogs but it is not enough. It seems as though you are being forced to explain yourself and prove yourself to people you don't even like. I enjoy watching them for the sake of entertinment but I could not spend any extended period of time with them. I believe you are truly being misunderstood. If you on on the show next year please let us see the real you. I think the real you is the Kelly who was so charming talking to Simon about fashion not the Kelly argueing with Bethany. Bethany has it out for you. Any interaction you have with her will be inflammatory. Good luck to you and you and your beautiful girls

Hi Kelly,
I really like your style.Your not only beautiful you have a fun loving and carefree personality as well.Maybe that's what the others don't get about you.Hopefully you can rub off on some of them.They need to stop taking themselves so seriously.
I loved how you helped out with the Arthritis Foundation charity event.Your help showed just how classy you really are.
I do think that you and Bethany should be able to be friends.I can see you both have something to offer one another.its just seems there is a communication barrier.Hopefully the two of you can start over again

The woman who cried (fake tears) makes fun of the women who cried. That's rich.

You tell Bethenny that if she has a problem, she should come to you. When she does, you completely shoot her down. Make up your mind and get over yourself.

So much more to say, but I'll save my energy and run over to Bethenny's blog to tell her how funny I think she is.

Kelly,

I think you are a beautiful woman and mother, however, at many times during the show you didn't make sense and quite frankly, it made you look high. At times I would think "what is this girl on?" Sometimes you were portrayed as a socialite with no real substance. On another note, being well known and liked is a good thing but humility is what I can appreciate in a person of your position.

I have to say that in the beginning I liked you, I felt bad you were getting picked on and I thought you know what maybe she will take Bethenny to get a drink and talk things over and they'd be great friends. But No you did the complete opposite and no matter how beautiful you think you are on the outside or no matter how good of a mother you are, and you are an awesome mother I do have to say that, you should never think you are above someone. EVER!! That was it for me and I hated every scene you were depicted in bc you came off fake and very unintelligent. If I were you I would sit and watch all the episodes and watch how you acted and the things you said and maybe you will understand why they want to kick you off the NYC Island!!

Hello Kelly,

I have to admit that I had a hard time watching you this season. I was excited to hear of a new cast member, and while I have issues with everyone's behavior every now and then...I understand where Bethenny was coming from, but each time she tried to clear the air, you cut her off and said that none of it mattered to you. I can see how you would want to rise above a petty argument, but can you see how you could come off as being sef centered? Most of the time when you were making comments or trying to explain something in the show, I would become confused. Your perception is odd. Like when you said that Bethenny was trying to poke you...She hadn't really had the chance to say what was on her mind yet before you got all bent out of shape and tried to end the conversation. I can see how the convo left her frustrated and confused. I know I was. I do believe that you try to be positive and mature. But many of the things you did on the show I found to be rude and off putting. Your girls are beautiful and well behaved. As a new mommy myself, admire your devotion to them. i hope my point of view didn't offend you. Thanks for reading.

I am guilty of watching the show! What a welcome you received on the show! I think you are a very nice person, you can be nice and not take being embarrassed and attacked by some of the women. From the beginning Jill was looking for dirt ( I like Jill)! Bethany on first episode said she meet you once at a party.... then all of sudden she's attacking you saying you met 10 times (who cares). You could of handled meeting her and her then boyfriend two ways.. 1. Said Hi ( and her boyfriend should have introduced her) and move on, but then you would have been rude. 2. Said Hi and talked to him about what he does, oh no... now your flirting. Bethany would have made it whatever she wanted. Bottom line it seems as though she is insecure. First season I thought she was so funny in a playful way, only sometimes she crossed the line. This Season she is so rude, and not very funny. I don't know if it was fame or healthy cookbook.... who knows!

These women had the first season to get comfortable and this season really knew how to use the show! They are all completely different people than they were on the First Season. I know drama keeps viewers watching, and it's all about entertainment. It seems in the reunion there would have been clearing of misunderstanding and support of each other success. To show us yes there is stupid misunderstanding and cat fights but in the end we are mothers, women and here together. I was shocked that they have a quiz and asked the question who would you drop from the show!!! What!!! You answered correct! I hope you do not let them bully you off the show. Even though I would want to run off, I think you have a lot to offer.

Ps. Viewer2... Stealing a jewelry line... come on. Heidi Klum was sued too. No one owns clovers or owls or hearts......

Kelly you are delusional!

Why did you come on the show if you didn't want to be friends with any of the women? Something is seriously wrong with you. You did all that talk in the magazine about Bethenny but then you praised how fabulous she was to her face. I swear you are on another planet.

I lmao when you cried at the reunion. You're so full of yourself! The NAME (you kept talking about your NAME at the charity meeting) you built since you were a little girl? What 'name' are you talking about? I don't think you're FAMOUS at all! I never heard of you before this show. Get over it!!! No one gives a rats about a 40 something year OLD socialite women!! PS You have no good manners! Why don't you buy luann's book!

I wish each and everyone of you could spend a few hours at my place of work then you would see how petty all of this is. What do I do? I'm a chemotherapy nurse for pancreatic cancer. These people fight EVERY day for more time and all you all do is waste it...stop and be grateful for what you have. In the end, when you are dying, is all of this REALLY going to matter? I think not. It makes me sick to see such ungrateful, spoiled, arrogant women who think the world owes them.

Kelly: Please don't let words of ignorance get you down....ever. Any man would love to have you on his arm! Your beauty and charisma is what makes you prey for ugly people. You were married to guy that is a legend in the fashion industry, and now everyone knows you. How much better can this be! Your life is so "posh", and this makes people crazy. They want to be you and they envy you. I thought you were so real, and I could tell that everyone with A famous "name" knew who you were. You didn't have to pretend that youknew these people because they are already in your address book. Your sexy and smart....so don't change..ever!

As a fellow female, it's annoying that we are so quick to say that one is jealous of the other if they don't like each other. It makes us look petty and weak. Most women have a basic code, moral or otherwise, which tells them why they don't like someone! It is what it is. . . .Kelly doesn't like Bethenny and Bethenny doesn't like Kelly for many obvious reasons on both sides of the coin! They can hate each other and still NOT be jealous of each other. There are so many other things to base their disdain for each other on. It's why we've watched them all season. It's far bigger than jealousy! Right, wrong, crazy, indifferent, full of herself, whatever. . . . Kelly did her job and brought us all in to watch the drama!

I hope this gets posted?? I am having a hard time seeing anything I write on anyones blog.

If you would be in attendance at an event I was at, you would be asked to leave. I wouldn't embarrass my friends nor myself with your presence. A kind, intelligent women would acknowledge her mistakes and apolgize for them. Bethanny seems to have done that and you still have not. Your past of violence, stealing a jewlery line, ignoring women you know at functions (clearly jealousy), and threating behavior towards women who are more attractive and itellignet then you feel you are is all a mistake. We can't all be depicting you in the wrong light.

Kelly... I totally "get" you now! I thought the way that you were treated at the reunion was terrible. How can any of the other Housewives in the cast think that they themselves don't have flaws???? And for Jill to vote you off the island was beyond tacky! How Uppity!

Hang in there girl! Don't hate the haters. I think that you are fantastic just the way you are.

Entertained But Not Impressed

Why take sides? They are all self-centered people. This one (Kelly) just does nothing to try to hide that fact.

I seriously hope that young people do not emulate these women. If you are over 30 and have a “team” mindset regarding this reality series then you probably do so because you have nothing else in your life. Living vicariously through these vapid creatures is no way to go through life.

It’s a TV series – not reality. It is for entertainment purposes only, and should not be used as a model for REAL life.
