Closing the Curtain

Kelly discusses the continuing changes in the Housewives world and a woman's need for an apology.

July 21, 2011

First, I want to thank all of the viewers for being so loyal and interested in our intersection. None of us know what our future holds on the show, but I know how I feel today. I feel proud. All of us have endured, sacrificed, and experimented with reality TV. As fun as it is to watch, it's even more fun to film. We've seen Alex come out of her shell, watched Ally go to college, LuAnn find true love, we've seen Cindy demonstrate what an amazing single mother/business woman looks like, and what a great hairstylist can do to my hair! It has been four seasons of non-stop fun, and we are just getting started. Does LuAnn get married, is Ramona pregnant, does Sonja Morgan become the next Steve Jobs or does she marry one, does Jill Zarin's Skweez line change the shape of America, and do I inspire women that being healthy and happy is hot? You'll have to wait as "the Housewives turn...." But before this, let's reflect back on tonight's episode.

OK? what??

I realized watching Wendy Williams on the MobWives reunion that all women just want is an apology. Resentment has been built up, and not been resolved. Every problem has a solution. Some of us recognize the solution, and others love the problem. That's what makes the world go round. Cindy is a hard working business woman who has two young children, a HUGE business, and personal family issues. Sonja gets defensive around Cindy. Maybe, its her eyeliner that fogs her vision. I've had makeup issues, so I can talk. I wish Sonja would embrace those who work hard, and not find it intimidating. Friends support friends. Period. We can also learn from each other, if we'd let our egos go for one second.

Kelly gets to the bottom of the class issue and admits she's not much of a gambler.

Coco !!!

Your loyalty to Cindy is bizarre. The other ladies are excellent business women too.

I don't think you should criticize others. Your words are often harsh and hurtful. Talk about weird....

I hope you will not return for next season. You say things about the other ladies an then you don't remember that you said it. You are in kelly land all the time.

You proclaim to be so nice, so why the cutting and catty remarks about Sonja's home? Not nice! It's not all about looks.

It is in my opinion that kelly needs to go get help, obviously she has issues that she hasn't dealt with which are coming out on the show.

You need to let others speak. You criticize others for the very same things you do.

Dear Kelly,
I loved getting to know you better through the show this season. I think you are awesome, gorgeous, and a joy to be around.
Take care xo

Kelly,
You really need to get in touch with REALITY, I had never seen the show until I was home sick and they ran all the seasons. I never heard of you before this show and really don't care much to hear from you again. You Never Confront any of the women, you live in your own world and as far as I can see your nothing. I am a New Yorker and as far as I am concerned without your ex-husbands name you would be Nothing at all. Stop eating Jelly Beans and be real for a change...you dismiss everything when some one confronts you. You need to get some help

Kelly, you are so cool, really like your attitude and you are really funny and down to earth. I just really think you have a good sense of bad people (Bethany) and could not really explain why you felt that way but you have good sense of feelings. good job

You are by far my favorite housewife. I am so glad we are seeing the real you!

KELLY, YOU ARE WONDERFUL, FUNNY, WITTY, INTELLIGENT. GOOD LUCK IF YOU COME BACK FOR ANOTHER SEASON !

Your a beautiful, smart, and warm person! You go girl!

I think your interpretation of things is rich.

We didn't get to see a lot of you towards the end of this season so I hope that changes next season. You've my favorite because you're so down to earth and blatantly honest.

thank you Kell. You are the authentic one. Here's to keeping your spirit sweet.

All class and beautiful. I think you have a great philosophy on life.

Kelly,
hope you show us more of you. You seem very private, but I think you must have had a very interesting life through modeling. I understand you speak Italian and I would love to see that. Travel makes your cultured and I know that you are way more sopisticated than you like to show the viewers. Hoping next season you blossom.

You really took a stand this year which was a good thing, but to try and tell Alex how she felt was just crazy. You feel the way you do and she feels the was she does. You really need to learn to listen to people. Conversations go two ways, you can't have a conversation when you don't listen and just keep talking.

kelly,it seems like they all pick on you but you seem to be the one that is the most real, i think the other women act like high school drama queen,lol, keep being yourself, you are funny, sweet , and a wonderful mother

i agree. apoligies are important, sometimes people dont realize how powerful those two little words are..

Kelly, You had a great season! Keep up the good work. I hope to see you next year.

Loyal and interested in your INTERSECTION? Huh?

I like Kelly Killoren Bensimon.

you were so much more likable this season- maybe you're happy and at peace, i hope so you deserve it :)

Succinct, to the point, and right on the mark. I will continue to watch as long as I see key members of the show as yourself. PLEASE somehow convince someone that Almon (the Alex-Simon) clone is causing a bunch of folks to tune out (I do) when they go off on their rants.

Deep down I know you are a great person and exceptional mom. But this season your erratic behaviour continues to confuse and bemuse.

Look in the mirror Kelly there is still a lot for you to see.....

This season you seem more content, and in a better place. I hope to see you get swept off your feet next season- by a good guy for you and your girls! Hope that happens for you soon, you deserve to be happy in love- and it will be fun to see, good luck!

kelly,you are so cute.love your childlike charm .can't wait for next season!

You are my favorite NY housewife !!

You are fantastic. I'm glad you did this season. You have risen to the highest plateau, and you did so with dignity and levity. I am so happy to see a gorgeous woman who lives live with vivre!

Who was mocking pregnancy? Jill was mocking Ramona but even she wasn't mocking pregnancy.

You have a very odd take on isolation if you think Alex is isolated. She doesn't choose to hang out with your friends. That's an all together different thing.

Thanks for sharing! Love the show. You are funny and so care free. I want to be like that. I am trying. Going through menopause is not easy. That is it Bravo, a show of menopausal housewives, I am so in.
Kelly have a great summer!

Kelly, I think that you have come a long way over the years. If you want to talk to someone that is fine, but you never let them have a rebuttal. You just keep talking over them, that is rude. I think Alex was just getting frustrated, cause you would invite her into a conversation and let her say nothing! KELLAMITY!

So true Kelly! You're right about Sonja....she's intimidated & defensive about Cindy. I think Sonja feels it's her place to school people on life, business, love, manners, etc. and no one wants to hear it (esp. from her). I think that drives her crazy!

As for Alex & Simon....those two really need to get a grip and realize they are only fabulous in their own heads. If only the rest of the world adored them as much as they adore themselves! (sigh!)

You, Jill & LuAnn are fun to watch on the show. You all are actually interested in other people's lives and not just your own, which is something the blondes don't seem to grasp. Looking forward to seeing the reunion and I can't wait to see Jill put Ramona in check!

See you next season in Kellyland!

Kelly, your comments regarding Alex are seriously a bit biting -- not nice.

Not sure where you are at sometimes, think I really can't relate and then you let out the "human" sensitive side. It's good to see that. Most seasons I think you are too "closed" and "angry". I'm sure I would be too if I had to deal with some of those ladies.

Hi Kelly,

Loved you on the show this season. You were so insightful.

I get were you are coming from,

Regarding Alex, you are spot on.
I think she and Simon are trying to get relevance on the show at the expense
of others. (They need to be iced out) Lets not forget Alex's motto
" To some people, status is everything ".
They are so classless. Yes, I said it, the "C" word.

Can't wait for next season

This is just the best blog i have read from this episode. Great job!!

You have been fun to watch this season. Thanks for coming back and showing everyone the fun and beautiful woman that you are, a true girl's girl.

Oh, please, please, please let it be that Alex and her husband will not be returning! Please, please, please let them exist off-camera.

On a facebook page, she said you posted on your blog that you want to get pregnant without getting "laid" and insulted you. But, if she would read and/or be honest, she would see that you wrote that you want to have a baby with someone you love, not just a one-night stand. Big difference, but she just had to attack you. Let's not forget her husband's glaring at LuAnn when she was singing. I have a feeling I'm in the majority being very, very uncomfortable watching them, enough to leave the room or change the channel.

Your communications skills are getting better and better. I tried to "hang in there" while your segment with Alex played... If you had gotten to the point first, you would have had a "winning moment" (with Alex) and she would have probably agreed with you. ... if you don't know what I mean...I'm talking about when you told here that she could get "iced out" of the group...
Often less words is more tactful... you still have a tendency to want to control the conversation, but as I said, you are getting better!

Enjoy the Summer with your beautiful girls!

You are so fun and so nice. I am sorry that you have to deal with such monster women. Just stay as sweet and nice and let them grow warts. I am glad that I have gotten to see that you are really a good person. Bethenny and her crones made it seem like you were not. Now I see that it is them that are old dried up witches and you are Cinderella.

Really loved you this season. Great comeback from last year! Keep up the good work.

Healthy and happy is the hottest look. That, along with a million dollar smile that radiates from within, like yours does, is the best accessory. You SHINED this season. Every episode, every scene.
PLEASE COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of the time, I find you nonsensical. However, I agree with you about Alex being not genuine. She (& her flamboyant hubby) seem scripted most of the time and therefore, NOT real.

It's a pity that you don't "want to get laid" but "want a family". Well, without the first part, you're missing most of the fun! Good luck to you finding immaculate conception.

love you Kelly ! you are the most normal one on the show !
good luck this summer and i wish you well.

Kelly, I'm a big follower of you...I have been drawn to your aura since you first came aboard. I related to your persona and admired that you have come out to PROVE the fake blondes + the darked hair (I hated her the most! I din't find her funny nor charming but displaced and played the victim to make viewers buy into her business, tsk tsk) that they were really intimidated by your presence w/c made them trashed your reputation. However, the good thing is, you stayed authentic, loyal and very charitable.
Your 2 girls are lucky because you are a wonderful mom.
Goodluck, and stay far away from Ramona, Alex and Sonja. We hope to hear great successes in the future!!!!

Kelly - I have always been a fan, because you are so *real* ... you were a personality before the show, so you didn't need to prove anything, and you didn't let it go to your head.

You are what you are - there is no posing, posturing, vamping. You will say things without thinking ... sure. But it is far preferable than listening to all the carefully rehearsed and phony babble of the others. Who among us have never said things we regret, or that came off "weird", etc? Fortunately, none of us has a camera to record it, and then have it played and re-played, and analyzed ad nauseum.

So, just continue to be yourself ... you don't need anyone to tell you this. Enjoy life. I hope love finds you.
