You're right. Sonja and Ramona are being really hard on Cindy for some reason?

I also don't get the toaster oven thing either? Why not just turn on the big oven? An oven is an oven. I've used toaster ovens for reheating things that I didn't want to come out soggy in the microwave, but cooking for a large party of guests? That just seems silly.

I want to like you Kelly. Last season you drove me nuts, but for some reason I keep looking for reasons to like you... and I do. You seem like a really great person. You just have a somewhat distorted view on reality at times, and that's a bit scary.

Kelly

Last year I didn't know you well at all and began to stereo type you as I am a huge Bettheny fan! This year I'm still a huge Bettheny fan but I'm so glad you guys are not together. When you look back to you and her initial meetings in earlier episodes etc. She appeared jealous stand off ish towards you very much and a lil judgmental of you not sure why and I totally still love her. Then as shows progressed you began to play into it and appear different jealous as well. No need to rehash glad you are not together so,stokes two people maybe alot alike just don't get along at all! I do think you had a mini breakdown in Scary Island and it was just and behavior from everyone. So now jere you are my age beautiful woman. We all gossip even when we shouldn't we all tell our closest friends thongs we shouldmt. They capture this cuz you are on tv!! Kelly o like you no one is perfect and you seem to have great values which 99 percent of the time you hit head on!!! So glad you are comfortable enough have learned the women enough to be more yourself. We all exaggerate and you get dubbed the ,ost bcuz of this series. Anyway I like you, I like the other women so ,any women I think the drama here happens in many big circles!! We all have a mean girl storynwe have done and hD done to us! You are beautiful stylish fit! I hope you find true love like Bettheny!! Love ya girl keep it real!!

Ramona's efforts to bury the hatcher might not be sincere or trustworthy, or so it seems in the luncheon scene you had with her and Sonja. Sonja felt she had to take credit for you two getting together, but YOU DESERVE the most credit for bothering to spend time at all with Ramona. She does not deserve your trust, time or thoughts.
You are BRIGHT AND ADORABLE.

You have 2 adorable daughters who clearly are the lights of your life. I find it amazing that you probably deal with more mean-girl drama from Ramona, her drunk texts, and some of the other RHONY ladies than you will ever encounter being a mother of 2 girls. You are a strong role model for them. CONGRATULATIONS on being the strong, shining star of the season.

Everything about you is genuine and WONDERFUL! You are simply living your life, without concerning yourself with squabbles from Ramona, Alex or Sonja. What is up with them...and I am so glad you have RISEN ABOVE IT ALL.
You found your own rhythm this season, and I am so happy for you!! Kelly is the best!

Unbelievably, I think I can relate to your personality more than any of the other women on this season's RHONY. In the episode where Sonja was talking to you on the beach, I think that I would have rather gotten down in the sand and done sand angels too! That is far more fun than talking more about the Ramona nonsense. I think this is why many viewers have misunderstood you in the past. Instead of being in "Kelly Land," I think that you just want to live in the moment and not be bothered with all of the ridiculous antics that go on. Nevertheless, if it were not for the ridiculous antics, there would not be much of a show. Ahhh...the irony.

Kelly,
You said in a magazine article that you only support people who support you. Why is that so different than what Ramona texted you?

satchels of gold!

Ramona's text was inappropriate and odd. First, early in the season she seemed to complain that the other ladies were socializing with you despite awkwardness from the St John trip, and that no one discussed what had happened, and cleared the air before filming this season.
Since she was so bent on NOT socializing with you UNTIL she spoke with you about St John, WHY DID SHE CARE THAT YOU WERE NOT COMING TO HER EVENT?
It is not consistent with her film babble.
You were right in not accepting her invitation to the dinner honoring her.
She was SO WRONG IN SENDING YOU A NASTY, CHILDISH TEXT...especially given how she spoke her mind about the St John issues.

Kelly - you are a star and I too love the world of rainbows and unicorns lol.

Life is for fun, happiness and love... live it your way for happiness, pity those who live their life for acceptance

All I can say is I am happy to see the real you again. It looked as though the world of RH had broken you for a while but you seem more at peace this season and not so out of sorts.

Best line ever (I'm paraphrasing) " I'm 42 years old, and I don't have time for superficial, game-playing 'friendships' anymore." People pay therapists thousands to get to this kind of obvious epiphany. Good for you, Kelly. I loved it when you were on the beach, saying something like "Umm, look where we are, can we just appreciate this without all the BS for five minutes?" You're so not a catty beeyotch and that's what's right about you and has been all along. You don't snipe well with others. That's a good thing.

Kelly, last season you made it a point to say many times that you don't like to talk badly about people. As soon as Ramona, Alex, Bethenny, or Sonya said anything about Jill or LuAnn, you would say you didn't want to talk badly about anyone who was not there. "I'm not that girl," you said. That was very noble. But what you don't seem to see is that when you are with Jill and LuAnn, and now Cindy, you eagerly engage in and sometimes initiate in the negative gossip.

So I guess it all depends on who you're with.

With all due respect intended - you were way way way out there last season and went off and on the strangest things - you going off on Bethanney about her not being a CHEF and others - you were like jill - one of the Mean girls last season.

That being said I LOVE that you don't appear that way this season. I hope that your life is in a better place, you put your children first and I love that you just wanted to enjoy the day with no drama. Please keep that up. you aer also right every time there is a fight when you say... you/we are embarrassing ourselves... it is embarrassing - it shouldn't be happening among grown women so often and especially not TV - I Fast forward thru every fight you all have - less of my life wasted - I'd much rather see some good you are all doing in your community!

You do seem healthier this season, but you've got to let the exaggerations go. "Threatening text message?" No. You deliberately choose provocative words to make it seem like you are under attack. Playing the victim is never attractive and people tire of it pretty quickly.

I heard you & Jill get together every Monday night to watch Bethenny's show, that is soooooo sweet of you! Glad to see you're putting things behind you, but please don't try to put the blame on others, lets just forget about it and move on.

"Threatening" text. You crack me up.

Kelly,
This is a little ofef topic. Just wondering where you got sweater you were wearing in Central Park. It was on the last episode... Love your attitude. Keep up the charity work, it's nice to see!

I want so badly to like you this year. You have mellowed out since last season, but Ramona seemed sincere when she apologized. You don't let anything go, unlike others who have overlooked things you have said to/about them in the past. And girl, look up "threat" in the dictionary. You don't need to play drama queen. It doesn't look good on you. I do have to say I like your opening to the show "I'm living the American dream, one mistake at a time". You sound real and normal.

First, I truly appreciate that you don't like to argue. However, I believe that because you sometimes talk over people when they begin to respond to something you said, they in turn speak louder, and you then ASSUME they want to argue with you. Please be considerate enough to listen. You don't have to agree with them, just allow them to respond. From many scenes already shown this season and last, this behavior of yours seems to infuriate and ignite an greater tension, with the exception of when you, Sonja, and Ramond met for lunch For the first time, you allowed Ramona to respond to you and you were not trying to talk over her.

Kelly, you definitely are doing so much better this season and it is great to see! I hope this doesnt hurt you, but I still cant understand why Ramona has to apologize to you? YOU were the one who lost it on HER island vacation. She was trying to do something so sweet for others and it was clear that she did try to help you out during your breakdown. I also dont get it why you are always calling the other women to behave a certain way and want them to be nicer etc when you yourself are as gossiping and judging of them in exactly the sames ways? That part is confusing on the show. I do love the way you try to always protect your girls....it is so sweet to see you with them and they are beautiful!

Your comment to Bethenny in Season 1 about you being up here and Bethenny being down there certainly shows that you are well aware of a pecking order. And you put yourself on the very top.

And you have always worn the color jealously where ever Bethenny is mentioned. Let's face it, you want what Bethenny has, a husband, a new baby, and a successful business.

KELLY,
WELL, I FOR ONE AM GLAD YOU SAT WITH RAMONA. I REALLY DON'T THINK SHE MEANT TO THREATEN YOU WITH HER TEXT. I THINK IT WAS MEANT TO BE PETTY, BUT SHE ADMITTED THAT AND APOLOGIZED.
WHETHER YOU CAN "FORGIVE AND FORGET" IS UP TO YOU.
PERSONALLY, IF YOU CAN BE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH ONE ANOTHER, NOT PICK ONE ANOTHER APART FOR EVERY LITTLE INCIDENT, AND BE CIVIL, THEN I THINK YOU WILL ALL ACT MORE LIKE LADIES AND TREAT EACH OTHER WITH MORE RESPECT. YOU DON'T SEEM TO WANT TO GET CAUGHT UP IN DISSECTING EVERY BEHAVIOR AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. THIS IS A TOUGH GROUP! IF YOU REMAIN ON THE FRAY, YOU'LL BE HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER.
HOPEFULLY, SCARY ISLAND CAN BE PUT TO REST. NOBODY IS GOING TO AGREE ON HOW/WHAT TRANSPIRED. IT'S IN THE PAST!

I'm up here, you're down here. This is the pecking order that Sonja was referring to. Kelly, you of all people should know about this...

I don't think Sonja and Ramona are jealous of Cindy. Sonja has more confidence than anyone else. Sonja says what she thinks and what no one has the guts to say. I wouldn't have her any other way:) Plus, she was right. Cindy is not being very loyal to Ramona.

Hi Ladies,
Thought I’d write a little something for everyone:

Jill: So glad you’re back. Love your attitude and genuine intention to “do the right thing”. Hope this season is a much happier one for you.

LuAnn: What can I say, as always, you are elegant and lovely.

Ramona: Oy, Ramona. Such a complex woman you are! You can be so endearing and yet so very very RUDE and disrespectful. Whether or not Cindy promised you your Pinot, a gracious lady would not barge into the party, demand her drink, criticize the horse riding and attempt to make a scene. You’re just ridiculous at times and it’s such a shame.

Sonya: You are a pisser sometimes! But, there are other times when the claws are coming out, which is new. Cindy’s intention was purely for the sake of sparing Kelly’s children a scene involving their mother. Ramona is unpredictable and holds no punches, even if children are present (refer to a previous season where she commented on Luann’s ex-husband’s age in front of her daughter). And as for dancing with your “staff”…..it is far more rude to refer to them as lowly staff then to dance in a playful, friendly way with someone.

Cindy: Open your mouth!! I can’t believe the way you sat and didn’t respond to Sonya’s teach lecture or Ramona’s rude tirade about how your party disrupted her romantic weekend with her husband!!! You looked like a frightened child. Your reaction at your party with Ramona was appropriate and strong. You need more of that!

Kelly: You seem to be in a very good place, and for that I’m happy!

Alex: Loved the piano scene! Your younger boy (sorry….I’ve forgotten his name!) seemed much more enthused about the piano. He was swaying to the music when he walked in. So cute. You looked very pretty in your scene with Jill and I’m so glad you are willing to work toward peace with her.

That’s all ladies. Happy Mother’s Day

GREAT BLOG KELLY!
You summarized last night's episode perfectly. Ramona's apologizing to you was required, she has become a quintessential mean girl this season. I AGREE with you that she probably was on her best behavior because Sonja was there, and so part of me feels there was not 100% authenticity in her apology, but at least she tried.
I love your last line of your blog: "Jealousy is an ugly color that looks good on no one". BRILLIANTLY SAID!

Ha! You need a lot more than ingredients heat and love to cook good food girlfriend. Glad you seem normal this season. Your girl Sonya is ego trippin big time.

Kelly, you are blessed with your looks, your money and your children (among other things). On the show, you often appear flighty and sometimes unaware of what is going on around you. When you see yourself acting strangely on the show, what do you think?

Getting to see the softer side of you this season is great! I wasn't sure what was going on last season between you and Bethenny but I get it. We all have our breaking points with people that we just don't feel comfortable around and as you put it you had a break-through not a break-down.

I'm also someone who doesn't deal well with conflict. Everyone starts out with me with a clean slate and I open my world to them because I think it's a very selfless and innocent thing to do, unfortunately there are what I like to call the backbiters out there like B who have no filter and just spew whatever, and when they do or say something that's biting then we strike back. So I get it.

Glad to see you've decompressed from the drama of last season. Ramona's not fooling anyone that she's changed. I don't blame you for steering clear of her. I love what you said about not getting bit by the same dog twice. The best advice I can give to you about her is just feel sorry for her. Her abrasive demeanor is obviously a result from a very rough childhood. If you can be sensitive to this and keep it top of mind you'll come out on top and the bigger person.

I think you are the best behaved housewife. I get you, you stay true to yourself, avoid the trash talk, and just enjoy your "amazing life." I think you live your life with zest and your "childlike" qualities are admirable.

Well said Kelly...so proud of you!

Good for you, stepping up to the plate. Then burying the hatchet under it!

You are repeatedly trying to defame Ramona and hurt her by calling her text to you a 'drunk-text'. Please re-read what you just wrote about not intentionally trying to defame or hurt people.

Keep your eyes open! You are doing great! :)

Kelly,

By golly, I think you have it. Jealousy, Ramona & Sonja against Cindy. Yes, yes, yes. I like Cindy - she showed what she is made of, when she told you about the toaster over party. She was genuine and someone you need to spend more time with. Her values, ethics, parenting skills are right on with yours. I loved that you had fun with your children at her party & the other ladies snubbed their noses up. They could of had so much fun.

I love who you are this season. Hang with Jill, Cindy & LuAnn and you all will have so much fun. Continue showing who you really are & forget Ramona, Alex & Sonja drama. They just want a lot of air time. Love ya this season.

Have you let it go yet?? Ramona was trying to be nice once again...Im not sure you understand about jealousy you are so jealous of Bethany that it caused you a break down. (not a break through) I get that you are happy and you dont want any negativity in your life. But come on you talk about others just as much as the other ladies. If you dont like someone you put them down too. You tried your best to make Bethany look bad (it didnt work though)you even took a jab at her about her father dieing???Why is it ok for you to do these things and when others do it it called threats?? You also put yourself on a pecking scale with Bethany remember?? "You are here and Im up here.." Remember that?? Im just saying pay attention a little you might get it. I actually love how you live your life with your girls. I have 2 of my own. I just hate when you think you are so much better than others. take your own advise and zip it stop talking about others and they might leave you alone.

Cindy told yous something in confidence and you betrayed that condidence. That was bad judgement. You shouln't have done that - you put Cindy in a very akward position. Bad girl.

Let the past with Ramona, GO. You are bringing it all up again.. just let it go already!

Hmmm, I can see after reading your blog that the other ladies think more highly of your lunch with Ramona than you do. I think it was a nice thing for both of you to come together, even though it is clear that you still have strong opinions of one another.
I'm not sure about Cindy yet, but perhaps because shes new to the show/"circle", it will take time to fit in?
I didn't mean to write all that! I just wanted to say how much I love your jewelry line, particularly the pearl fringe necklace you wore in the Hamptons. I absolutely must have it asap!
Good luck this season
D

Well said Kelly.

Once again Kelly you sound so healthy and sure of yourself you're a pleasure to watch. I'm glad you resolved at least a little bit of what happened with Ramona and I agree about the jealousy thing. Right now I feel for Cindy.

I just have a question...How was Ramona's text a threat? It appears you really do hear what you want to hear.

Good for you. I can't forgive/or forget. Flawed. So glad to meet people who can. Good for you(though I secretly don't believe it).
