Catfight to Lion's War

Kelly discusses the soap opera turn of Season 4 and Alex's "liability" comment.

Aug 1, 2011

This reunion was so special, they added another 90 minutes because of all the drama!

What started as an intersection between different women who live in New York City has evolved into the biggest soap opera fest on television. "You can't write this stuff," say most writers in Hollywood who hold reality stars in disdain -- because we literally took bread off their table.

And, the writers have every reason to be mad. Who on earth "outs" or speculates if someone has gone to AA? Is this information that the world needs to know? And does this help whoever is calling the other person out look like a more respectable business woman? And, then there is the speculation of intervention. . .I am definitely not a good enough friend to Ramona to ever to ever suggest an intervention.

But, I have to giggle when we get to the liability issue. I've spent the last three years protecting Alex. Finally, I forewarned Alex that her actions would eventually get her iced out. Alex quite nicely did it herself, by telling us we are all a liability.

As for Sonja and her vulva (as it is technically referred to), I was offended. It's disheartening that at 47, Sonja doesn't have the confidence in her ability to write a book, without sharing her body parts for the camera. Sensationalism isn't always the key -- Lindsay Lohan would like that page from her playbook back. I did grace the March 2010 cover of Playboy, but flashing your "..." on cable TV is a whole different can of worms. (If you're laughing, stop. LOL.)

You were not being bullied, you were just acting a victim to make the others look bad. You put all the blame of your crazy breakdown on the others! Your behaviour of acting like a victim and making others look like bad people is disgusting and embarrassing. You are a grown women, act like one! You attacked bethenny and couldn't handle it when they stuck up for themselves. Jealousy is ugly.

I think Kelly sucks up to Lu Anne..Cannot see why, cos she is really a snake! However, it also looked like for some reason Kelly and Lu Anne are bullies towards Alex....I think they r both very negetive women and very unhappy, bitter women and are envious of Alex! Thay should stop the bullying cos it's getting quite uncomfortable to watch and a shame that grown women act this way..even though they both are very aware that they are being filmed! Stop the bullying its bad and Karma is not nice!

Kelly, You are simply gorgeous!

Kelly, great job this season! But PLEASE stop trying to talk to Alex.

Kelly, I am your biggest fan but you need to go back to being sweet Kelly, and leave the other stuff to the pros, jill and luann.

Kelly, you're so right about Alex.

I think your a really smart, beautiful and respectable woman Kelly, you have made the right choice in friends with Jill, Luanne and Carol. It's obvious that the blonds lost this season hands down. Kelly it was nice to see more of the "real" you and bravo for finding a way to communicate just how bright you are..Have a fun summer and enjoy those two little blessings that are so beautiful just like their Mommie....Have fun and please come back next season..We love you>, Mrs S

Kelly you were great this season and so much more mature than the blondes. I give you credit for trying to be calm and reasonable.

Kelly, i think you are very sweet!!

Good job Kelly - you were great in the reunion. Those blondes are not only in denial but very, very strange. can they get wannabe alex off the show -PLEASE - very weird person and her husband too.

Hi Kelly, Thanks for keeping it "real". I could not agree more with your comments to Ramona and Alex at the reunion. You looked beautiful this season, too.

Kelly, The only thing that I find is that , how you try to calm someone down by changing the subject. You seem to forget what you say .

Alex is crazy and your right she is not a nice person stay far away from her, your great!

Kelly, I only hope that next season weird and authentic will be removed from your vocabulary. If you truly want to be an example as to how to act properly then my advice is simple. Be kind to all, but especially to those you do not like. Wishing you the best

Your blog was perfect,you have grown. Last year i viewed you as a spoiled child. What a difference a year makes. I do feel sorry for Alex ,give it a try and be better person.

Kelly you've matured from last season. But, I've grown to like you again. Now if you came back next season I would love to see you back.

this season i really liked you. you were level headed and talked sense. I dont know what made you change but keep it up.

I wanted to correct you. Alex didn't say the brunettes were a liability. She said that if she were a social climber she wouldn't be hanging out with the four of you because you would be a liability in that situation. You do have a tendancy to constantly go after Alex. You held your own during part one and then acted like a little like a school girl in part two.

I will have to agree with one thing you said "Never lie because you have to remember what you said."

Kelly out of all the ladies you are the voice of reason, it was Sonja last season. This season she hitch her wagon to Ramona's and her life and finances went down the tube.

Sonja didn't have panties because as you well know, she did not want the panty lines to show on the silk gown she was wearing. You are a model c'mon. Get over it. Photography 101, ask Giles

Stay well and love your girls.

You Rock this year!

Love Love Love you Kelly!!

Kelly,

Loved your attitude this season..You were the voice of reason in all the maddess....

About Sonja showing her private parts...WOW...I am totally with you...OK great you have one....I DO NOT WANT TO SEE IT!!!! It is offensive..

You are also looking really great this season...I love your hair!!

Can't wait to see what next season....

Love you KKB, have a great summer!

Good for you Kelly!! You sure did MAKE GREAT POINTS on last night Part deux. You stood up loud and clear why you sign up for this show and that is to continue being CHARITABLE and MAKING a DIFFERENCE. I know that you do come from a PLACE of YES eversince. So, I'm so glad for you! The very reason why I was looking forward to Reunion P2 is because I wanted to see how will Alex ICED herself....she truly did it herself and got AXED OUT too. I agree with you 101%. If you got the 'IT' factor, you don't need to resort to BIZARRE & WEIRDO stunts to promote yourself. From last night's episode, IT WAS CLEAR, CRYSTAL CLEAR, who were desperately seeking publicity. Thanks so much for saying that Alex and her BFs (it was evident that she was just a hangerOn-er) should just be on their merrycrude behaving ways.... Please, don't put UP with it. Best of luck to you and looking forward to more of your wholesomeness and great relationships with LuAnn, Jill & Cindy. The 4 of you combine has 'salvaged' some of the RHONY stellar qualities!!!

Best line of the night: "You don't unwind, you unravel." Simply brilliant!

You are fun to watch and listen to. Enjoyed you this season. You have a good heart.

Kelly, you are the most real of all the girls. You never throw low blows and I have yet to see you start the drama. You hit the nail on the head with Alex and her acting. Like I said before, you are the only REAL one on the show. You're beautiful and graceful. God Bless You....

Kelly, I wouldn't say Alex is my favorite because she isn't but each and everyone of you treat her as the "poor relation" or "country cousin" if you will. There is so much posturing and preening going on in New York I wonder if most people are all that shallow and boring. I hope not. No one listens to the truth. Good luck on your adventure, I'm sure it was a hoot.

Once again you have outdone yourself.

Kelly, I'm glad you found your strenght this year, and that you bonded with a good, solid group of women. The others have nothing on you. Continue to be true to yourself and don't ever let anyone put you down.

I have to say I like you this season Kelly, the stuff you would say to Alex is frickin hilarous. Keep it up

I totally loved-LOVED- your comment to Ramona about drinking, "You don't unwind- you unravel" Wonderful. Love you. Linda

I was so impressed by you this season, Kelly. You acted your age, you acted like a lady and you acted like a grown-up. Believe me, in the midst of that bunch, you were SUCH a breath of fresh air! Thank you so, so much for showing that women in their 40s can still be uber-hotties, have a good time, have a sense of humor and still manage to act like adults with values at the same time.

Kelly, Glad you got off the crazy train you seemed to be on last year! You were much more likable this season and you had the funniest line of the night with your remark about Ramona unraveling not unwinding! Funny!!!

i am a blonde and I love you!

Kelly, I adore you. You are by far the most level-headed housewife. Everyone says you're crazy...I don't think so. I think you're actually a lot smarter then the other women give you credit for and good for you. I love how neutral you were this season and how you tried your hardest to diffuse certain situations as best you could. I enjoy watching you and look forward to seeing you next season.

Also, your daughters are beyond gorgeous!

Dear Kelly,

What does "Living the American dream one mistake at a time" mean? You say it during the opening credits; could you put it in context, please?

Thank you, P.E.

You are kooky but I like kooky and I think you're great!

Kelly...thanks for being the voice of reason! You have been like a breath of fresh air this year! I applaud you! Looking forward to the new season, and seeing you again!

You wer great this season Kelly. Stay close to Jill, Luann and Cindy. They are real the others fake.

love you more and more, Kelly!

Dear Kelly,

A rumor is going viral that Russell Simmons has protected you from Bravo's releasing what really happened on St. John's. Is that true? Is it true that Andy did not want you to appear on WWHL?

Kelly you are great. I agree about Sonja's body part. Who really wants to see it. I would have been embarassed too. And Ramona, asking whether you have ever looked at your Vulva, I must be like you, because I never looked either. Please, you are a good person, just stay away from Alex, she and her "husband" are just really straaaaange. Stick with the "real" girls. I enjoyed watching the blooming of your friendship with LuAnn.

Kelly, you are a fun, sweet and bubbly girl! You were great this season and I look forward to seeing you the next time around!

You are so pretty -- but this show isn't for you. This is the real housewives, and you are not one. Nothing against you -- but I am ready to see some "housewives" that are actually married!

Also, why are you friends with Jill? They clearly pitty you.

Kelly, I perceive you as being genuinely kind, but you need to learn how to express your opinions in a diplomatic, mature way. Your responses to adult conversations suggests you can't differentiate between when you're talking to your children and when you're talking to mature adults.
