What Happened, Happened

Kelly is ready to move on and leave the past in the past.

June 14, 2010

What happened, happened and it is left in the past where it belongs. I left the set, not because I was angry, but because I don't like to revisit issues with the ladies that are in the past and don't impact our REAL lives. I wish all the women well in all of their endeavors.

Compete with yourself and cooperate with others.

Happy summer.

Kelly, it seems you are a bit confused. I hope that this show has enlightened you to your true self. From my observations of the show, there are a lot of perceptions based on some unhealed woulds from your life. For what it is worth, I am glad, for your spiritual growth that you had these experiences to help you see things within yourself. These other women "bullies" are just that...they are unhappy and superficial, materialistic, two-faced, projecting all problems on to other women like you so that they can feel better about their own bs unhappy insecure lives. Just stay focused on you...tune out biznatches like them, stay real, TRUE to yourself and the psychotic people around you will only go away if you allow it...Law of Attraction..watch it! I send you love and light..you are the most real, down to earth...but not perfect. Take this opportunity to reflect on your relationships...if you learn to truly love yourself, others will too.

My goodness, Kelly. I really wanted to like you....but you have been so unkind and impolite and erratic....and you can't see it at all! I do think there is something really wrong!

Kelly, is the only sane person in this group of loony women. get out while you can. The money is not worth it.

Kelly I just got to watch the final episodes and reunion here in Australia and I have never seen such terrible bullying in life committed by yourself. You need to have counselling and get yourself sorted out because what you see and what you think are two very different things

This post sums it up perfectly, Kelly. Your comments imply you think you are one thing, but you are actually something very different. If you spent more time listening to what everyone around you is saying, you might learn more about your true self and how you really treat others.

Kelly
I really do love you no matter what anyone else says here or on the show...and I think I found out why today...I live and grew up in the same town you did...never knew that. Stay the way you are..the most down to earth person...best of luck in your future!

Kelli...take your own advice: Compete with yourself and cooperate with others.

DARN ~ I misread that! I thought she decided to leave the show! Long day. Oh well... wishful thinking!

amy123 HA HA ~ You said it perfectly!
GO TO SLEEP!!!
I am so happy Kelly left. It's about time :)

Kelly here is a documentary that you should watch "Earthlings". Since you said if you wear fur it does not matter because you are not the one inflicting pain. Well you purchasing the fur means that you're participating in the unfair killing of them. I hope you as well as other people are aware of where!!!! their meats and other times come from.
Watch that doc. it might make you rethink things.
Peace & Love

Kelly - I must say I was so surprised when u said you were being bullied. When watching the show you seemed to be the person who was the bully! Youinsulted everyperson there. You Bullied Bethaney every chance you had. She would leave the room then you would start on Alex. You need to get some help if your poor children have to see you act that way it must scare them because we were scarded for you and we don't even live in the same household. Good luck get help and move on stop concerning yourself with what Bethany dose with her life and career!

I am sooooooo glad to see you move one! It is impossible to follow your dialog much of the time. If your costars are so beneath you, follow your instincts and get out! Let the rest of us enjoy the show.

GO TO SLEEP!!!

Kelly,

After watching the reunion, I am just really proud of the way you handled yourself. I could not have done what you did. Those women are beneath you and they have adopted a pack mentality. You can not stoop to a level that doesn't exist for you. I know you tried to defend yourself and dish out what was being dished up to you, but it just isn't who you are. Alex makes me cringe with her "shaking", we were laughing. When you stop engaging in their drama, she's probably going to be the next punching bag. Enjoy your family and your summer. I hope you come back stronger than ever to represent the pretty girls who were born to love rather than fight.

I don't like to say bad things about people, but I hope that you move on and off the series.

I hope Kelly spends her Summer in lots and lots of psychological counseling. I didn't like her in her first season when she told Bethany that "she was down here and Kelly was up here". Her actions imply low self-esteem. Did Kelly think that posing for Playboy would make her famous and more people would love her? I think it's the opposite - she showed everyone that "she's way down here".
I was sorry that she came back this year. Hopefully she won't be back next year.

Kelly,

Much love and respect to you! My heart SO goes out to you for what you've been through this season. Some people just fail to see that when you live your life with little drama, to get thrown into a situation that is so overwhelming, one reacts in a way that is not typical of their character. I think if most viewers kept that in mind and watched that part over again, they can see just how crazy those women were! I do believe if I were in that situation, I too would have felt a little ganged up on. So sad they can't accept they were completely out of line.

I'm sorry to see you leave. You were such FUN!! That's what this show needs more of.

Best of luck...
Warm wishes.

This is all good TV... I watched every episode and if you look back most of the so called "bullying" came after Kelly made her remarks that either didn't make since or were so completely "out there" and left everyone scratching their heads. I am just surprised that Kelly would show herself in this light under this venue. Nothing she says can mean anything when it really means nothing to her. One day she supports Peta the next she wears fur and thinks nothing of that, it's her right. I just really think she needs to figure out who she is and start setting a better example for her children, she claims to love. Kelly made the comment that she really doesn't watch herself, past episodes. She really needs to. This would help her to see the confusion and frustration she puts out there. She sat at the final show and twisted her hair. That says volumes of the troubles she has. I give it to Bravo for making good TV. I still question the reality of it all, this stuff is just to good to really believe. If Kelly does another season, they will get top ratings at her expense. Why would anyone want to do this to themselves or family if it weren't for fame. Kinda sad!

Kelly if you want to leave the past in the past then why did you bring up the issues with Bethenny from last season. If you had insulted my career the way you did her I wouldn't have been as nice as she was.

You also cannot support PETA and wear fur. How about I make a coat out of your hair it shouldn't bother you to have it shaved to accommodate coats for everyone. It grows right back.

By the way take your position on systematic bullying to capitol hill and really do something about it. Creating a situation to try to bring on what you consider bullying on to make a point was totally transparent. I believe comments like your going to kill me, I am up here and your down here, and your a cook not a chef are the bullying comments. I guess since I did not know who you were nor did my friends before watching the show means your not a model. Since I don't know anyone you modeled for personally. You are very insulting.

I think you just can't handle strong women in the same group as you. Or you are just acting.

KELLY, YOU WERE RIGHT WHEN YOU SAID YOU WERE BEING BULLIED,AND THEY REALLY ENJOYED BELITTLING YOU EVERY CHANCE THEY GOT. IT WAS A GOOD THING THAT SONJA WAS ON THAT TRIP OR I REALLY THINK THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. PLEASE STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR HAIR IT MAKES YOU LOOK IMMATURE. DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THEIR NONSENSE..STAY AS SWEET AS YOU ARE XOXXXOO

KELLY, YOU WERE RIGHT WHEN YOU SAID YOU WERE BEING BULLIED,AND THEY REALLY ENJOYED BELITTLING YOU EVERY CHANCE THEY GOT. IT WAS A GOOD THING THAT SONJA WAS ON THAT TRIP OR I REALLY THINK THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. PLEASE STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR HAIR IT MAKES YOU LOOK IMMATURE. DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THEIR NONSENSE..STAY AS SWEET AS YOU ARE XOXXXOO

So, you are saying that time on scary island doesn't impact your "real" life and that you are putting it in the past?

How can you put in the past something you have not reckoned with or acknowledged?

How can you suggest you were bullied yet refused to give the other women the opportunity to give their version of events, which happen to coincide with what aired, that you in fact were the sniper on that trip?

You suggest to cooperate with others? Are you for real?
You were pretty much the person not cooperating on that trip.

How can you move on, without realizing that you were ill, and not get the help you truly need?

You have issues that won't go away just because you walk off a set. That won't change events and it won't help you any. That will just prolong and drag out a sickness that needs attention.

You are in denial. You need help and it did not make for good tv to see your meltdown. It became a very sad thing to witness. Too much of a train wreck for me. It is not entertaining to see a woman break down for all eyes to see. It was very sad.

You need an intervention by people you trust and who love you.

You are not the first person to lose it and won't be the last.

I do think you have the means and tools to get the help you need to strengthen you, to give you insight and assurances.

Therapy would be a useful tool. But that would require a willingness to own up to who you are; the good, bad and ugly to get to a place where you are not so conflicted and to where you are not so unpredictable to the degree where it impedes your relationships and could cause and uneasiness in others, because that alone could be scary at times.

I think you are sweet and lovely. I feel badly that you have been painted a whack job. You are a woman that needs to be surrounded with like minded people. And only you know who those people would be and are.

If you continue to be on the show, I think you will need to learn how to communicate and listen without taking things so personally, and without a knee-jerk reaction to what others say.

You have it in you to be strong. I don't think unicorns are any match for Parana. Build yourself up and be strong.

I am very concerned for you. Many new yorkers have therapists included Bethanny's dog! Read into this as it may be a good insight for you. (PS. this is not my blog):

Kell-Aid? Come on. It's called a Beer Margarita, and it's found in every Junior League cookbook in the southwest. Beer, Limeade, Tequila. And mixing Patron with Beer? Tsk tsk. That's a waste of good tequila!

Kelly, just because you never seen Bethanney cook or attend culinary school doesn't mean she didn't study to be a chef...heck i didn't see you go to high school but that doesn't mean didn't go..duh!!!

That trip to st.John, you went their with a bad attitude which resulted in a miserable time for you. you went there expecting them to be mean to you so instead you decided to start it off first.

and how are you going to tell someone if their feelings are real or not? are you psychic? if you are, your on the wrong show!

for some reason after living in new york for a short time and after holding it, and its fabulous successful women, on a pedestal, i found the real housewives of new york to be a terrible disappointment. i love the show and am always motivated and inspired by successful, beautiful, and lovely women but to see the end of this season crush down upon Kelly's world left me more than second guessing who these other "women" were. Kelly, as i have perceived her throughout the season has always tried to be the better person and be there for these girls who she has promised to work alongside in this show on Bravo. unfortunately, she overestimated them and went on that trip to some islands i only dream of and they immediately disrespect her by talking trash about someone who, although they had past bad experiences with, was close to her and obviously someone who she would be offended by if was spoken badly of. that was the first bad move by ramona, alex, AND Bethenny. from my point of view, which i admit is limited to the show, you were all drunk and kelly was outnumbered and by women who all have major issues with a women who she recently became very close with. no matter your beef you all have to admit that jill is a good person and wishes well to those she loves, her worst crime is that she held a grudge because she cared too much. to wrap it up, kelly... you are a beautiful drama free woman who lives in the moment, not the past nor future, but strives to live every day in the sunlight and happiness that surrounds you, and if you choose to surround yourself with darkness and thundering clouds then there is pretty much no way for you to come out of it shining. i support you in your feelings of ill-treatment by the other women, they never accepted you as yourself, let alone as someone who was so closely tied to jill in such a pivotal point. Live strong, do what makes you happy and do NOT let anyone make a single day a day that you will regret. walk away, which i know you have done but television makes it hard to justify, but you are a good person and only seek goodness and if these women who have so much bad in their life cannot see this and be happy for you then you are better off without them. Ok i'm done and tired... goodnight.

Just own it, will you!

NUFF SAID! Grow up Kelly- you need to come into the REAL world- why did you sign up for this show if you cannot accept the reality of other ppls feelings & opinions?

I complelty agree that 3 of the ladies did "gang up" and bully you at scary island. Thanks for calling it what it really was at the reunion. Continue to strive to rise above the drama nonsense.

Kelly,
The only positive thing I have to say about the Reunion Show, was I loved your shoes, Kelly... Where did you get them?

Kelly, as much as I appreciate the fact that you don't like drama, I think you really are acting very immature and a bit out of line. The whole "bullying you" bit is so out of character for you that it is comical coming from a fortysomething yr old woman. You seemed to be very in control and confident, but this is very immature and not very becoming.
I really think either you're acting or need serious help.

I lived in New York but am from the Midwest. I grew up around males and get Kelly. I would have done the same thing. I should say, I do the same thing as someone who does not care for drama. Obviously, does not belong in a dramatic series, but I get her. Good or Bad. She wants NOTHING to do with the NY gossip, drama, keeping up with the Joneses etc...if that isn't what she wanted , should not have signed up for it. HOWEVER, the girls should have made a pact that for television, make it look good, but for females, you all look like hyenas after Kelly. I used to love the rest of them but they seriously antagonized her and put her in a bad spot.

Loved your comment that women should be more supportive of one another. You are a positive person; it's just difficult to understand what you mean. "A" plus for changing aggressive to assertive at the end when you talked about Sonja, Alex, Ramona & Bethenny. Women should be able to be just as assertive as men if they want to. Looking forward to S3 :)

Kelly obviously is all about Kelly and when she is confronted with reality such as being alone she unravelled. Her life is a show and while away she could not handle not being the center of attention and became unhinged. Even with her blogs, they provide the opportunity for one to explain or to take responsibility for one's actions. Very clearly with her post of "what's happened happened" shows that she cannot handle life and being responsible for her actions. I'll bet any money she doesn't read these blogs nor care to blog because the show only appeals to her to show others "how popular" she is. The reality is that I bet she has no true friends hence going to every social gathering she can get her hands because sitting at home would drive her further down the insanity road. Have fun with that maddness!

Kelly, why do you think you are the victim? Why would the ladies be after you for any reason? The reason they argue with you is because you don't make sense 99% of the time. They are NOT attacking you. You try explain yourself and you just can't. You seem to make things up as you go along trying to make yourself the "poor me" victim. You need life skills 101. Grow up!!!

And who calls their boss a liar on national television!!!!

I was amazed to watch a group of supposed to be very prominent women that are again supposed to be successful in their lives. What a saw was a bunch of cat fighting high school girls and drama queens. Kelly I think you need to separate from all of them. And find yourself again. They are not in a league you want to be in. Stay with what you know...screw em, Quit trying to fit in like a square peg in a round hole...

Walk in your own power...leave the high school games behind you...

I think you are jealous of Bethanny. Now you're creating a drink named "the Kelly". What's next, oh let me guess "Kelly gets Married"...

Please don't do the show...you are not meant for this type of thing. I just can't watch you anymore - you need help learning to relating to others --

I watched a repeat of the reunion show last night. I tried to be real open minded about the island situation...okay so you said that you were your only friend there and everybody was against you. Do me a favor,really do you always want to feel this way about these women or others that you feel are against you? Women are difficult to get along with and to handle it better and understand women better, why not get therapy? Especially if you are thinking about doing another season. Therapy is not a bad thing it will help you understand things better instead of being miserable.

Kelly is a real person caught amongst a bunch of actresses. The others are enjoying the drama of being on the show and kelly is really just not that type of person which is the problem and it worrys the other women when Kelly is soo real, obviously real isn't going to be enough to keep the show going and keep the actresses in the spot light they are now addicted to. Kelly's realness is a threat to the show and that's why the others dislike her, it's all about the fame and money for the other women. Kelly just isn't so much into the dog eat dog world of the others, and I admire her for that far more than any of the other women who personally I would not associate with myself for that reason. I think leaving is best for Kelly as she is just not suited to this arena of fighting for a spot in the limelight. She shines brighter than all those women put together.

You caused the fights, you started the fights, and you were the cause of most of the negativity on the show - and not in a good or entertaining way. You kept telling people to move on and to quit bringing up the past - but you my psychotic friend were the only one that brought up the past and has clearly not moved on. When Bravo removed you from the island, they should have kept going and removed you from the show completely - you need a respite.

You left the set AFTER you had YOUR say. You did not give the women the opportunity to give their input - which is only fair.

Maybe your world continues on, but there is no closure when you leave loose ends and don't allow others to share their experience on the matter.

So, to give your side WITHOUT INTERRUPTION then walk off as soon as the other women give their views on what transpired is just you burying your head in the sand.

You can't handle the truth. You see it as a gang up, when in reality, it is a conversation and observation made by others that you cannot tolerate and maybe a little scary for you to see for yourself how you were losing touch with reality. You should lend some credence to it. They don't say these things to belittle you, it was merely an attempt to respond to your behavior and statements you were making.

Make nice...Be nice

You were knocking 3 on the boat. Bethany not being a chef, the other for drinking too much, and whatever else you said to try to swing the conversation away from you.

You were totally ill intentioned on that trip. You ruined it for them and you should be apologizing for being hostile and critical of them.

You need to take a hard look in the mirror, without your rose colored glasses on. Pulling your head out of the sandbox.

They did not bully you. It to me appeared that you were the one instigating trouble at every opportunity.

You can't knock a person and expect them to sit idly by and take it. They have a right to respond. You walking off or telling them to zip it is another tactic of yours to try to sway opinion and fact in your direction. It did not work. Everyone sees through that.

There are two sides to a story, then there is the truth.

Truth be told, you need a mood stabilizer and psychotherapy.

It's true. You do need to be true to yourself and to celebrate who you are...

Being authentic....if you shell it out, be prepared to take it.

Keep a mood chart and hand them out so everyone knows when to vamoose and when its safe to play.

What do you consider a personal attack? When someone challenges you? Ugg.

Girl, you need to fire your publicist. TODAY.

Kelly, I don't understand you. You said on the reunion that you were unpredictable, but yet you said the other 4 women were unpredictable and that leads to danger. So are you saying you are dangerous? You did call yourself unpredictable. How can you expect for anyone to take you seriously if you change your mind about things all the time? I'm thinking your so-called friends turn you down to a 2 every time they are with you because you are so unpredictable and everything that comes out of your mouth is not important because you will probably change your mind about it the next day. You make yourself out to the the victim, but you are just so confusing.

Bethhenny, Ramona and Alex only seem ruthless because you have been surrounded by sycophants for the last two decades. What the other women on the show "do" is not bullying, it's the real world where other people are entitled to their own opinions, and they will call you on your BS and idiocy. I'd rather have R and B "bullying" me than have J and L pitying me, and treating me like a naive little moron who "can't defend herself" in the big bad world.

If you can't have a sense of humor about your airheaded idiocy, don't put it out there for everyone to see.

There is a big difference between leaving things in the past and choosing not acknowledge our poor behavior.

A relationship can never move forward if the people in it can't look to the past as a road map for their future. Choosing to live in a state of oblivion does not make the past disappear, it just makes those around you feel discounted and unimportant. That's not a quality I'd like my friends to have or something I'd like to model for my kids.

Part of cooperating with others is acknowledging and validating their feelings and choosing to hear their voices even if it doesn't feel good. Your words here seem VERY hypocritical in that respect.

Kelly is the Sarah Palin of this group. She loves to spew nonsense on the show, Twitter and Facebook and then when people call her out on it, she says she's being bullied. It's called dialogue. SHe shouldn't put herself out to public scrutiny if she can't handle herself and intelligently defend the things she says. She should be accountable not only for her actions but her words as well. How can anyone celebrate "who she is" when you can't tell who she is because of the constant stream on contradictory babble that comes out of her mouth?

YOUR jealousy of Bethenny is killing you....STOP!

Kelly, my heart bleeds for you. Yes, those Team Bethenny girls are ruthless in their attacks on you. However, I have to say you can be guilty as well. It's a two-way street. But I think you are more capable of forgiving & forgetting & moving on than Bethenny, Ramona or Alex. They are crazed when they attack you & I sincerely believe you are a hurt woman. They should be ashamed of themselves for the way they treat you. The 3 of them nauseate me. I doubt they have a nice bone in their bodies.

It's quite apparent what really happened on St. John when a very small comment was overlooked on Reunion III. The statement was, "no, she didn't leave, the producers escorted her off the island". You were escorted off the island because your behavior was so out of control YOU needed to be removed.

Your self-absorbed paranoia needs to addressed.
