The truth is that I am very a sensitive person. I hate confrontation, and I am annoyed by the soap opera/mafia sit-downs. I am a very easygoing person, and I don't ever come across these types of moments in my every day life, so I honestly don't have experience handling confrontation. I just want to enjoy the life I am so lucky and grateful to have.

I tried to be nice to Bethenny at the Jill Stuart fashion show. She chose to fight with the new girl, and was rewarded with press and airtime. She did what she set out to do, and honestly, what is wrong with that? It's a TV show!

We speak two different languages. I don't need to get to the bottom of why we had an argument, nor do I like to be policed on a constant basis. What's in the past is in the past, and we are working together, so let's move on.

I am always nice to everyone. But, as I always tell my children, not everyone is expected to be friends. You always have to make the effort to be polite. Bethenny and I don't travel in the same circles, and we have some mutual friends, but I rarely see the cast outside of the show. That isn't good or bad - it's just different.

If Bethenny wants my attention I'd rather do something with her that is fun and productive, rather than indulge her negative behavior. I just wanted the conversation to be over so we could focus on the real reason I was there. Jill invited me over to help with the charity meeting, and I wanted to get started.

alright, I wasn't sure before but now I know...Bethany is my favorite housewive. I think it's awesome that she speaks her mind but doesn't go CRAZY if someone doesn't agree with what she has to say. And how could Kelly "forget" her "talk" with Bethany?? I was actually laughing at how Kelly was acting. If they keep her it's to add some comedy to the show.. =]

Sadly, I watched this episode with my children. I don't think I have ever more embarassed as a mother and as a woman of another woman and mother. I found Kelly to be rather laid back and easy going up until that point. I was enjoying the equestrian portions of the show. However watching her berate and belittle was a side I never thought I would see. For someone who seems to pride herself on all that she has accomplished - what has she accomplished? Bethenny has something to show for her life.

I hope your daughters don't come across someone in their lives that say to them, "You're down here... and I'm up here..."

Who says THAT? How does somebody respond to such a mean comment?

I record this show only because I can't stand this Kelly women, and when she comes on, I just fast forward. I swear I would really apreciate it if they would just take her off the show. I love all the other ladies and Alex's husband. But, seriously I can't stand this smug, biotch!!
Do use all a favor and let her go, BRAVO.

Kelly, I think your great! I'm glad to see you on the show. I hope you stay. I understood what you were trying to tell Bethanny. It was over her head as many things seem to be. You did not say you were better then her as a person. You said in that situation she was acting like she was still in high school. I think she acts like a no class witch all the time on the show. At 1st I thought she was talking from her nose. I hate her voice. But after the last show I am sure she is talking from her behind. Your a better person she will loose sleep over it you wont. Go on with the life you have worked so hard to build and be happy.

Wow. I think you really need to go back and take a good look at that sitution with Bethany. Put all the emotions aside and just watch as a person out of the circle. I believe it's important for you to do that.

When you were talking about men with Lu Ann and group, you said Max just "happened" to walk in?

I don't appreciate you thinking we are ignorant people.

kelly, I want to know if you read the feedback from the viewers. I'd like them to take you off the show. You are so boring. You don't listen to others when they talk. You should really practice your listening skills. You keep on acting like you are bethany's mother. You keep on talking about indulging her. Can you just shut up and listen. I love how you tell her to shut up and you don't know how to shut up. I love how all the housewives have called you out, but it's so sad that you don't get it. You need to get over yourself...can you please quit the show..please...I hate watching you and I fast fowarded all scenes with you.please quit..please..shut up and quit..

She doesn't WANT your attention....she is making a point that, YOU, KELLY act like you are BETTER than her...but you are not..She is not begging to be your friend...it's the point that she is trying to make...I think you are very pretty but the person you are on the inside makes you an ugly person....As you can see in all the viewer's comment...you are the least like in the show...Get over yourself!

The Truth about Kelly

If you could never figure out how a Columbia grad and author/editor could be so immature, incoherent and, frankly, stupid, this will explain it:

Kelly has completely misrepresented herself on this show. She never went to Columbia, much less earned a degree from that Ivy League college - she went to the Extension school for a couple of courses. She got her "writing" assignments at magazines with her husband-at-the-time's connections. And she was never a famous model; that's why 90% of you never saw her before this show. (she was in a couple of make-up print ads, she never did runway or Vogue shoots, etc.)

She never intended to reveal any details about her Real life, as the other Housewives have (and isn't that the point of the show?). We never heard about her real boyfriend of two years (who she was arrested for assaulting). Instead she prances an acquaintance, Max, before the camera to imply that she's dating a hot young guy, who was just happy to get on TV. They have never dated.

Poor Kelly. She gambled on this show bringing her fame and recognition. Instead, it revealed her to be a mean, shallow woman with no thought for others. She has no real girlfriends, and now you know why.

(also, read the comment on 5/4/09 from "Have met Kelly" - how true, how true)

Kelly,
It is amazing to me that you do not see how absolutely bizarre your social skills are in speaking with other adults. Kelly, You are not in fact "up here" while Bethenny is "down here."

In terms of your chronic tardiness and disrespect to other busy adults, I too, am a single mother of two children. I do not, however, choose to keep other adults waiting in order to attend to my own important world. I do, in fact, notice that others have equally busy and important lives, and do not want or need to be kept waiting so I can attend to my business while they waste time waiting for me like my ladies in waiting.

Kelly, I'm a therapist, and I can only say, GET HELP. You really need some insight into your outrageous and inappropriate behavior. I don't care that your father is a lawyer. So is my husband. This doesn't = a license to "know everything" or to pretend to be important for the sake of my own fragile ego. I hope you watch the show and notice that you need to gain some respect for yourself and for your fellow humans. A former model who is rude and treats others with complete disdain. This isn't new, it isn't cute, and it isn't funny. And, by the way, I am up here, and you are most definitely, down there.

Hi Kelly!
i just wanted to let you know that i was so excited to see you on the new season, i was expecting to love you and i really wanted to because your ex husband is soooo cool. When i first saw you and you introduced the term "Kelly Time" i knew i was going to love you. As soon as i saw you at the charity meeting with Bethenny who i adore, i starting questioning your personality. When you went to see Bethenny and told her that she was below you, i could not believe it. When your kids grow up and are old enough to understand that their mommy was on tv, they're going to want to watch the seasons. How could you POSSIBLY allow yourself as a mother and an adult to speak to someone in that way?! You children are going to be embarrassed to have a mother that acts that way. I know i was thinking to myself if my mother EVER did that i would probably have a sit down with her and ask her to read a book like Luanne had written, which you should also buy a copy of. Please just watch how you talk to people, and maybe you wont have to put yourself in those situations anymore because people will like you.

ps.
don't invite men that you aren't in a serious relationship with to girls nights out with your friend and her neices. its EXTREMELY rude.

Kelly,
I think I need to write the book(s)
And I know you ladies get a ton of criticism
but I figure you're all willingly doing a
reality show, have this blog and accept
comments and so ...if the criticism
could be constructive, that'd be great.
I'm a little older than you and believe me,
life has shown me that some two people
just don't gel. But you two just don't
seem to accept that. You're both guilty
to some degree.
The meeting you initiated with Betheny
sounded like something I would have done
a few years ago: have the final
word, put them in their place, have it all
on "my" terms. But I've grown since then.
What you did was in essence squash her
as if she were an insect on a New York
curb. She didn't have to show up.
You cut her down without any emotion
on your face whatsoever. Not very flattering.
The incident at Jill's house should have
been received in a positive light but again,
you went for full control, unable to acknowledge
her in any way at all. She's worthy
to at least be heard. Betheny does go
on and on but it is frustrating when someone
tries to muzzle a grown woman.

A viewer would have to be brain
dead not to see you take every opportunity
to put Betheny down.
Had someone likened
me to Madonna, I'd express that it's
not acceptable, shrug it off and say
"hey thanks!" yes, it was an insult but
could have been worked out without
the drama of your demeaning her
in a public place, one hand higher
than the other.

I'm sorry just that for someone who
hates confrontation, that struck me as a little
phony.

Sweetheart, you need to realize that the world doesn't revolve around you. I think that you think you are above Bethany and the other housewives. However, you need to step down from your high horse.
Bethany was completely innocent in the entire situation and you acted like a crazy woman and didn't even make any sense. I really hope you leave the show soon. I think you are just a mean,cocky, mouthy person and try to fit in way tooo hard.

I too was completely shocked at Kelly's behavior on several occasions. Each time I would just sit there staring at the television with my mouth wide open wondering "Is she insane?!" I can't believe that she "confronted" Bethenney in the restaurant the way she did (which was completely childish by the way). And when Bethenney tried to talk to her at Jill's house, Kelly wouldn't even let her say what she had to say! It was ridiculous. What was even more ridiculous is how Kelly seemed to forget the things that she'd said to Bethenney at the restaurant. She tries to act as though she's the bigger person, but she just ends up making herself look crazy. Does she suffer from amnesia or something?

Bethenny has shown herself to be very insecure - every action by everyone else is a "personal affront" to her. The 1st thing she was upset about was the fact that she was w/ her boyfriend at your house - he knew you, she didn't, & he spoke to you w/o introducing her. For all you knew, she could have been his assistant, since he was a photog. If there is a fault to find, it would be his - not yours. And that formed the entire basis for her venom towards you. And, if I'm correct, she isn't even still going out w/ him, but still mad about it. So she was harboring that & rude to you @ the fashion show where you were VERY cordial. And then she searched for ways to be rude to you in front of others, b/c others do like you.(remember how she questioned ramona?) She sees you as encroaching on her space - the other pretty single girl. Your words to her @ the bar was a response to her animosity - it was badly delivered, I'll admit, but you do seem like you don't handle confrontation well - which is where Bethenny lives. & she constantly insults "your" world, while waiting for scraps from the same table. She is de-classe.

Jill

Kelly,
You are a very beautiful woman on the outside, but unfortunately, after your talk with Bethenny at Jill's house, your inner beauty was sorely lacking. You appeared so arrogant and condescending, it was a complete turn-off. It wasn't the first time.
A woman as beautiful as you becomes far less appealing to men, and people in general, when they behave that way. Bethanny was just trying to make ammends with you. How awful!

Kelly,Kelly,Kelly...,sshhh (hush)! Now is that any way to speak to another adult? It seemed as if you were mocking Bethenny when she was simply trying to state how she felt about your very rude comments. When sane adults have disagreeable conversations 1 adult speaks her point(while the other listens) and then vice versa. This way both feel their points were heard and afterwards they come to a unified conclussion(sometimes not an agreeable 1). Everyone doesn't have to be friends but should be civilized and respectful of one another's feelings. Perhaps this blog wouldn't be saturated with negativity had you stood behind your words instead of scamper away from them and mis-direct that conversation with Bethenny. She's been herself (spitfire,blunt) since the beginning which is why many love her. She stands behind her words-even with Jill/Ramona.You should take a que from Bethenny and stand behind what you say(or at least admit when you're wrong). BTW-a little ginseng in your diet may help with your failing memory since you totally denied your hateful words towards Bethenny.

Kelly --- i think that you are one of the bright lights on this show. Beth anny is always up for the 'comic' relief --- but has no sense of timing or comedy... she is just odd... seemingly always wanting an apology from SOMEONE/ANYONE... they sure blew the 'fight' into the world of ya gotta be kidding me... you will always be the fun spot on the show with so much more talent and class than the "b' girl... sure do not know why bonnie hunt latched onto her -- trash talking women always want to be heard? and easy to get? hopefully she will mature beyond middle school sometime in her life?

Kelly,

I really wanted to like you...I did! But I was so turned off by your attitude. I think that you need to re-watch some of the episodes and see how you interact with people. You told Betheny that you were "above" her. How sad! People are just different. No bette, no worse, just different. Really...I am so disappointed that you are modeling that behavior for your children to see. We are all people, we are all different, we all deserve respect. You are no better than anyone....now, I just think you are more ignorant.

Kelly,
I like you, you're the only one with any class on this show. Don't let people like Bethenny drag you down to the gutter. Seriously. The poor thing has not worked out her childhood issues yet, and this is how it manifests, with petty, childish behavior. And if she feels threatened, as she clearly does by you, then you can expect the absolute worst displays from her! Her mouth is beyond "acerbic" and her mere presence on the show makes me cringe! It was PAINFUL to see her on her date with that French photographer. He had WAY too much class for her. She needs to stick with men who are rough around the edges, like herself. Too bad that bald man who gave her lingerie was married. He's more her pace.

Stay strong, stay classy!

Kelly, I saw that show when you 'confronted' Bethenny and I thought it was in very poor taste. In fact, you came across as very self-righteous and it reflected very badly on you. You're right in that not everyone needs to like each other but they do need to respect one another as people and I would hope that you have apologized to her for your very hateful words. In fact, I think all of the housewives say the most hateful things about each other when they are interviewed alone and it reflects very poorly on all of you. You should be ashamed for the way you treat one another behind your backs.

Maybe it is the editing or perhaps it's real life? I was absolutely shocked at Kellys behavior on the show, not a couple of time, but more than several times. In the restaurant cat fight Bethany really did own that argument even though it was you that arranged that little meeting. It was painful to see how you fell apart at the end and grobbled for words, stumbled, and when finally realized you were not going to rattle Bethany, you left like a scared dog with your tail between your legs.

I believe that little bit of film is something I think you will regret for a very long time, it shows a whole different side of you, very classless. Maybe you could covince Lu Ann for help in the manners department. She really has it together and knows how to rescue a situation gone wrong.

You are an attractive woman, but not the quality I hear referenced to on the show. And beauty does not bring you happiness nor does it bring you class.

The second converstion just ruined it for you. Wow. Guess the first time was not a learning experience.

I do feel badly writing all negative issues here, but you do have some great ideas that can really be applied to life. I.e. - Ramona speaking about Simon and just not liking him. You asked - does he bother your husband, does he intrude in your life daily does he hurt you? (something to that extend). Romana had to answer no to all those questions. As you said, at the end of the day, he's not that important and do not spend a lot of time with him.

PLEASE, PLEASE APPLY some of your own advice to yourself, you will only come across as a winner.

Best to you.

I watched the show and I have to say that both Kelly and Bethany both made some mistakes, as we all do. I think Bethany is more opinated and is freer with her opinions than Kelly. Kelly seems to me to be more down to earth and seems to get what life is all about. As to who I like more, that would be Kelly. To me she seems more real than any of the otheers on the show. The one that I cannot stand is Ramona. She is so insercure with herself that she has to find faults with others and then be nasty about it. Grow up Ramona!

05/08/2009 - 10:49pm
Kelly

You really need to check yourself on how you say your a nice person and an easy going person because its very apparent that your not. First you make yourself out to be better then Bethanny and its obvious that you think your better then the rest of your cast members considering the fact that you refused to put your name on Jill's charity event that was for HER daughter but you will put your name on other charity events that you've done or so you say but as long as its not your cast members you'll do anything. Second the whole so called childish fight with Bethanny was all on you, you have put yourself on this pedestal making yourself out to be better then every one else and saying that your "UP" her and she's "DOWN" here is completely pathetic. Your not better then anyone you are worse then anyone on the show your a thief who steals other peoples designs and probably other peoples stories and your an abuser who beats men for what reason who knows and then you have absolutely no emotion at all when you talk about it at the reunion your a horrible and nasty person and I don't know you and I'm glad I don't because you would be on my crap list and I hope and cross my fingers that you DO NOT come back next season

I think Bethenny just doesn't like you and is really just jealous.

Kelly,

To start, you are one true beautiful woman. Sophisticated simplicity. You probably heard that sooooo many times so, moving on...!
About Bethenny, to me she comes out as a needy child who needs attention an validation. And I am not saying that as criticism, but an observation. I see in her eyes that she is struggling to make you see the real her. It's like deep down, she's just a frightened child struggling to make friends. On that note Kelly, please, give her a chance!!
No need for heated arguments. Spend the day with her at the pool, have lunch, whatever. My sister's behavior is exactly like that of Bethenny. In the end, they just want to be loved.
Best wishes,
Beta

Kelly, I am one of the few who also thinks Bethenny is nasty and just plain thinks she is so important! Always needs the attention and who ever knows when they are going to offend her. I can see she makes you feel very unconfortable. It's like she studies you and then goes in for the kill. It was not her place to say a word to you at the first fundraiser meeting. It was Jill's meeting. Bethenny used Jill and her daughter as an excuse to go after you. You are more of a lady then she, she is stuck in high school. Maybe it's because she is the only one without children. Who knows she has a lot of growing up to do.
Now as far as the Holloween Party is concerned, you let Jill know that you were going to be late so why didn't she tell everyone? Why did they leave? Since B. does not like you she should of been happy you weren't there.
Actually I think your much to nice for that group. They are always competing with one another. You don't seem to be interested in that. That's good.
I hope you stay on the show. I think your life is very interesting and you are very secure vs Miss B. who seems to need constant praise in order to function for the day.Good Luck!

I do not like the way that you behaved with Bethany when she tried to "discuss" the prior situation that "YOU" caused when you wanted to talk to "HER"...you were rude and you were entirely childish and snobby. You most certainly did say, YOU are here, (low,) and I am here, (a much higher level)which totally made me laugh....cause frankly I did not see you as anyone with an ounce of real class to begin with. It amazes me the way some people behave who truly feel they are among the elite in society......watching this show you came across as the rudest, most dishonest , and truly crazed female of all of them...you absolutely made no sense. Arriving late at your own party, and it was quite late, and having only a pay for your own drinks bar, was soo tasteless and it showed you absolutely had no class. True your children come first but honestly if you plan a party then plan on being there and being a gracious host...if you know how to do that!!!!!

I am very dissappointed in the way Kelly represented herself on the show. She appeared as if she thought she was a few steps higher than everyone on the show. This is seen in the way she behaved towards Bethenny. To out right say that you are higher than someone and they are well beneath you, makes you look like a unsympthetic jerk! Kelly, just because you were a model doesn't make you any better than a garbage man, teacher, or janitor. In the end, you will need everyone you look down upon. You received a blessing that many wished they had. Treat people, no matter who they are with respect, regardless of their so called "status" in life. I was appalled by you on the show, and I believe Bethenny had every right to confront you because of your behavior.

Hi Kelly,

I actually think you came off as sympathetic in the last episode. I think Bethenny has major issues with her parents rejecting her. That is why it hurt her that you did not acknowledge her even though you met briefly at a few parties. I can understand you not remembering her because you go to a million parties and must meet thousands of people a year. You tried to be friendly at the Jill Stuart show but Bethenny already felt rejected and slighted. I think Bethenny has a lot going for her but has major issues from her parents rejecting her so even the slightest lapse in remembering her from some parties can turn you into the most evil person who ever lived in her eyes. You reached out to her and tried to be friendly. I don't think it has anything to do with you only wanting to be friends with famous people. Bethenny name drops just as much as you. I don't think you intentionally slighted her and I think she overreacted and should have warmed up to you when you invited her to that rock and roll photographer party. I feel bad for you because I think most of the housewives are not as classy as you and therefore they might be a tad bit jealous. It's like you are the pretty, popular girl at school so all of the average looking girls are jealous of you. Anyway, I just want to tell you that during the finale you really held your head high and you, Alex and Luann came across much better than everyone else. Stay strong girl! :)

I find it incredibly bizarre and amusing the lengths that the crazed Bethenny fans will go to document all of their "hate" for Kelly. It just goes to show you that there are women out there who are loosely hinged who are "Team Bethenny" (very childish).

Kelly is a true class act and her presence is definitely needed on the RHNYC. Go Kelly! Keep being you!

It just goes to show how forgiving bethenny is, instead of carrying on a fight with jill she let it go for the sake of their friendship, she would have done the same with kelly but she wouldnt even let her speak she just sat there playing dumb not remembering what she said to bethenny at the bar. kelly is a piece of work. oh whatever,I give up. I got a kick out of ramona and alex dancin it was awesome, im sure everyone will agree.

I would just like to say that Kelly you are beautiful and so much fun to watch. I can totally see how you are sensitive and obviously people can't see the real you bc of all the drama that Bethenny has caused between the two of you. I think the way that you have handled the situation is priceless and you stood your ground, i mean you did nothing wrong! Bethenny is jealous of you and you can tell that she started to dress more provocative and in style after you came on the show and she all of a sudden became interested in "good Looking" men after seeing you with Max. Give me a break and allow someone else to shine for a change.....Kelly you are great, your clothes are great, your children are great and it would be a shame if they didn't have you on the show.

Kelly,
Even though you and Bethenny don't travel in the same "circles", you need to step "outside" your circle and see more of what life has to offer. No one will remember you for what you wore, the connections you had, nor the money you made. You need to concentrate more on what's in your heart than what's on your body!

Its taken women so long to be taken seriously, respected in the work force and excepted in everyday life and all it takes is two months for it to come crashing down. You all are suppose to be showing the progress not the downfall. Some of us now have to pick up the pieces of the "rich and famous" decisions. How nice would it be for women of priveledge to start taken responsibility. I commend all the regular women for showing how real women are suppose to act.

I find Bethenny's restraint with you admirable. I have never been so annoyed by any one housewive. You appeared to be a snob, fake, narcissistic and self rightous. I would not be disappointed if you did not return to the show.

Kelly,
While I initially found you a refreshing add to the program, I was soon disappointed. While Bethenny wasn't friendly at the fashion show, was a sit down necessary. Seriously, how old are you, 13? You are lucky she met with you, and then you attacked her. Perhaps you aren't aware how you come across, but if you DO choose to have a "sit down", you may want to let the other person voice their opinion, you just started raising your voice and saying you didn't want to talk when Bethenny asked you pointed, valid questions. It made it quite apparent that you did not know how to address questions when you were in the wrong.

After reading MANY blogs, I can see that Kelly does have a few supporters, but a large majority of bloggers are on Bethenny's side. This should say something to Kelly.
I think Kelly was high or drunk during her first confrontation with Bethenny. She was condescending in a way that one would correct a ten-year-old. Her conversations seldom make sense.
I think all of the housewives are self-centered and self-involved; however, if they were not, we would not be watching them on Bravo.

Kelly - Congratulations! You have officially become the biggest Cee You Next Tuesday that I have ever seen on Bravo TV. You are obviously an idiot who was blessed with good looks. Bethenny has been more than patient with your rants and freak like behavior. Good thing you're attractive - otherwise I'm pretty sure you would be having a Halloween party for yourself.

I have never blogged about anything in my life and I am not a big reality tv watcher; and tend to not really care. But, I watch a few episodes and frankly I know I don't know you Kelly, but I felt my body literally get stiff and I was so extremely annoyed by everything you would say. I am sure you do good things and mean well, but you insecurity was so obvious it was uncomfortable to watch and I was embarrassed for you, the whole thing was so extremely juvenile on your part from the way you would act about dating to your "discussions" with Bethany, where half the time you did not make any sense. I think you need to just relax and get over yourself. Know one is a perfect human being so just relax and be a mom and enjoy life and quite concentrating on making others feel insignificant so that you can rank your self higher. Maybe you did not mean all you said, just think be for you speak its the mature thing to do. I don't feel I am perfect, I definitely have things to work on and so does everyone, but knowing this is the first step!

Kelly,
there apprently is an issue. I dont believe you think about the things your going to say because you mess up all your words. Also, I dont think you listen to yourself speak.
Yes, Bethanny should have not said the "Madonna" comment, but you were wrong in the way you handled yourself.
Bethanny won this one. You keep messing up.

Kelly,

They say discretion is the better part of valor.

I think that you were well within your rights to not have your name on the charity program, but the minute you said that, someone in the group said, "no?" (as in, "oh, that's not OK with you?") -- you could have just said, "no" and moved on. It was the ten sentences after that that got you into trouble; you just made people more and more annoyed and uncomfortable going on about how busy you are and unable to commit just set the wrong tone.

I agree that Bethany's comment that you were "evidently Madonna" was rude and she got a cheap laugh at your expense. I would have been annoyed, too. But if you'd just given her a sardonic smile, you would have come out totally on top.

It also wasn't a bad idea to set up a meeting with her to clear the air. She was rude to you at the fashion show, she went out of her way to pick at you at the charity meeting and she may have had her reasons. Indeed, you had offended her long before the show, whether you meant to or not, and if you didn't mean to, it was the opportunity to have her see that and patch things up. Had you just approached it as the bigger person and said that there was tension, that you didn't know her very well but that you wanted to clear the air and that you thought she was interesting and someone that you wanted to get to know, she probably would have let down her guard. But opening with, "We're not friends" was unnecessarily confrontational. What I think you *meant* was, "we're not friends, and if we were, I would just shrug off your comments at the charity event as kidding, or a bad day, but since we don't know each other very well, I'd appreciate you being a little more careful in how you treat me."

Anyway, it's painful to watch you start out trying to say something, then getting caught up in side arguments, then resorting to mocking, name-calling, and just plain nastiness. I beg of you, think about what you want to say before saying it. And then say it without editorializing.

You can be very charming when you are trying. You get so much more out of life being nice and emotionally generous. Please just follow the advice you gave to Ramona about Simon. Being nice (or at least pleasant) doesn't make you weak; it makes you stronger.

I can not believe some of the things you say. You come off like you are above everyone and you are no better than anyone else even though you "used" to be a model. I absolutely love Bethenny and the way you have treated throughout the entire show and obviously throughout the entire time you have known have has shown you have no "class." I realize that she has made some unnecessary comments to you and about you, but you have fueled the fire. I also realize this is a reality show and with that that means you are showing your "real" colors. Bethenny never hides that she is a "ball buster" and can be rude at times as well as out spoken, however I think that's why the audience loves her the most...she is "real" and does not deny that fact about herself. She is also willing to admit when she is wrong, which you never do either by ignoring the fact or just acting dumbfounded about the situation. Grow up, make nice, and get over yourself, or get yourself off the show!

Isn't it absolutely ironic that in one episode when Ramona asks your advice Kelly about how to handle the situation with Simon and you said to just ignore the situation and walk away from it. You told Ramona to ask herself if it was hurting her relationships with other people and other things and yet apparently you can't follow your own advice and just "walk away". You just had to confront Bethanny and let's be honest if anyone is acting like "high school" it was you Kelly with your constant interruptions of the conversations and not letting Bethanny have her say and your wild antics with throwing your head acting like a schoolgirl and stomping off and then standing the the doorway of the club while waiting for Max and there you go again with your confrontational comments and once again your flipping your head saying you don't care again acting like a schoolgirl. Honestly of all the ladies on the show you are without a doubt the most insecure and the most childish. It's actually painful to watch someone make a fool of themself like you do. Then to say on your blog you tried to be nice to Bethanny at the fashion show was such a joke because you were extremely rude to her. You were obviously trying to ignore that she was even there most of the time, then chatting to people that stopped by to say hi and never once introducing Bethanny to anyone. Do you always feel you have to be the center of attention? You aren't interesting to watch and downright boring as it's disgusting to watch someone that is so obviously in love with only themself. Bethanny has more class in her little finger than you do your whole body. You are the one that actually started the confrontations and in those confrontations you did use the terms "I am up here, and you are down here". What in the world makes you think you are so special? You may have been a model once but obviously not that big in the fashion world or most of us would remember you. Max is a great guy and what he sees in you I'll never figure out because he deserves so much better.

You are the best!. Forget about Bethany. We finally could see her for what she really is.
first she did not wellcome you, and from the begining was hatefull toward you. Them all the stupidities and specially when she completely took out a coment you made about being above all the catiness and bad behavior and turned around accusing you of telling her she was socially below you. bethany and that viewer Laura, need to pay more attention to what people said. mean while keep being the way you are. fabulows. I hope I could see you on a great position.

First of all, being late is one of the rudest things you can do. It says "my time is more valuable than yours...I'm more important than you". To be late to a meeting that you've set up is unacceptable.

The meeting with Bethany...you came off very condescending, and holier than thou. Also to pretend that you don't remember saying certain things, is totally ridiculous. My guess is that you certainly know what you are saying, and when called on it, you feel backed into a corner, and come out swinging. Just know that it doesn't put you in the best light. To wait at the door, and continue your berating was so childish. Your recounting the conversation with Max was totally blown out of proportion, and full of lies. You are a bit on the crazy side. Do you think these ladies aren't going to watch this back and see all of your lies?

The comment about Jill's daughter, and her arthritis..."that's cute". What was that all about? What is "cute" about a debilitating disease?

Time for a reality check.

Kelly,
I am appalled by the way you act. All the wives on the show carry themselves very well and they may all have their moments, but they do not continually disregard others time and efforts. I feel that you lied about what was said between you and Bethany, but it doesn’t matter because we can watch what really happened over and over. If you were more intellectual you might have understood that Bethany was making the point you don't remember her because you put yourself above others and disregard individuals who are not what you think are important. Honestly my mom is a beautiful intelligent woman who is very well known in her industry, and everyone loves her because she is so HUMBLE. I hope you know what that word means, but I’m not sure. It’s not just about helping people or doing good deeds it’s about really knowing that you’re not above anyone. If you watch "The Tudors," you remind me of the main character, I know you’re busy though and might not have seen this show and that’s okay. I will explain I am referring to Henry VIII he put himself above everyone even the church. Thank goodness you cannot effect our country the way he effected England!

I just saw the episode where you decided you were going to come to the arthritis CHARITY meeting a half hour late and call it cute about Ally's arthritis issue. You say you're repulsed by bad manners? What about your lack of hauling ass to get places on time? I don't commend Bethenny on the way she treated you because I didn't see any episodes of you apparently not giving her the time of day, but for you to show up once again late and act like a psycho and start laughing throughout this so pointless tyrade of bashing bethenny was pathetic. You literally looked like a crazed maniac in hideous pink rain boots. Who does that? And then you wait for her by the door to throw some more childish insults? I'm sorry but who's the 3 year old here? Bethenny who sat there confused, yet amused by your insane immature antic, or you..the laughing psycho in the pink rain boots? You think it wasn't obvious Bethenny doesn't like you? Get over yourself.

I've heard every confrontation you and Bethany have had, and you clearly have no memory of the things as they actually happened. It is infuriating to listen to you spinning your tales in an attempt to make yourself look like the good guy. You can't possibly deny the things you've said - they're on tape for god's sake. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside when you're so ugly inside. Stay in denial if you must, but I wish you would just watch your own the damn show. You are not a nice person, and it's pretty clear to me that everyone on the show, not just Bethanny, has figured you out.

I think you're full of yourself. Yes, your ex-husband is a well known photographer, but that does not give you the same "status". You are very immature and you seem to exist within your own world. The way you treat others is simply unacceptable and you are a very poor role model. In regards to Bethenny, I feel that she has not in any way acted inappopriately toward you. You have very bad manners, and you cannot take what you give out. I believe Bethenny handles the situations you two are thrown into on a higher level than you do. Your behavior disgusts me. I would think a forty-something woman would act better. When you come on the show, I switch the channel.
Grow up.

You have all this money and you don't do any charity work. Please. You need to get a grip on reality. Your beauty is all on the outside but your inside is pretty darn shallow. Bethenny wasn't trying to have a confrontation with you, she just wanted you to know that she wanted to be able to get along with you and needed to get to know you in order to do so. You wouldn't even let her say that to you before you rudely cut her off after telling her that she was way below you in that bar scene. You should go back and watch yourself and see how you really look to others.

I have one small reminder for everyone.. It wasn't Bethanny that asked who kelly thinks she is at the charity..Someone ELSE did.. and Bethenny most certainly did said "she thinks she's madonna". But apparently it wasn't ONLY Bethenny who noticed Kelly's behaviour.

And since Kelly doesn't "Put her name on anything". whats with the halloween party invite.. NOt only did she put her NAME on it.. She plastered a picture of herself on it too..
