Okay, so I finally got to see Kelly Bensimon’s epic meltdown on the season finale on RHONY. I know that all of the ladies have come to conclusion that Kelly is seriously mentally ill, but it’s still kind of funny when Bethenny and Ramona go off to the side and Bethenny is like “I told you so! There’s something wrong with her!” I also like the new girl, Sonja or whatever muttering “I can’t even diffuse you anymore” to Kelly. Here’s Part 1 of the video:
Here’s the second video – this is where all of the other women come to the understanding that Kelly is f-cking crazy and they need to stop making fun of her and to stop yelling at her:
Kelly doesn’t think there’s anything wrong in retrospect however. Is she back on her meds? We’ll never know. Kelly told Us Weekly: “Some people are like, ‘You had a breakdown,’ and I’m like, no, I had a breakthrough.” Kelly said she was “very anxious” about the vacation with the other RHONYs and “I was asked by women who don’t like me at all. I always have positive expectations of people, and I always think the best, and you know, that’s my Achilles’ heel, is that I’m positive and feel like people are going to be nice. But the nature of the show isn’t that. [They’re] not happy I’m on the show, they’re just not…I’m very sensitive, and if someone says something very rude to me over and over again, I’m human. Shoot me. I’m completely honest, I have a ton of integrity. The minute I walk into the room, I create…this stagnant frenetic energy. Let’s be honest. It makes for awesome TV…if they’re not hating on you, you’re not doing something right.” Crazy bitch.

Kelly has a very “unique” shape. This season of RHONY has been so draining. Kelly is beyond weird. I use to think Ramona was weird but not anymore.
I saw that episode this morning.
She is nuts and the people on that show should get her some help.
I wanted to laugh, but it was wrong..
I agree with Bethany. This woman has totally jumped over the Cuckoos Nest. She is seriously narcissistic and paranoid delusional. She lives in her own fantasy world and when she speaks, she doesn’t make any sense. She attacks and then says people are attacking her. Then again, she may be on some heavy drugs. She would have a melt down and then come back a few minutes later offering people lollipops or some sh*t.
She IS mentally ill…and that she continues to wear a two-piece over that melting corpse body says it all.
She has to be on drugs or something. She is just batshit crazy.
FYI – it wasn’t the season finale. There’s more to come!
She needs to start looking up the words she uses because they are always in the wrong context.
She was acting like someone who ate mushrooms and had a bad trip. I feel so bad for her daughters.
I can Never understand what Kelly is talking about – she makes no sense at all.
What a whacked out chick!!
she’s been circling the drain since she showed up. that chick is one sandwich short of a picnic. she needs to befriend the couch and the makers of Paxil.
by the way that wasn’t the finale, it was just a regular episode.
@2centsnichol-one sandwich short of a picnic-love it!
stagnant frenetic energy? the hell?
My eyes are burning from these beef jerky with tits bikini pics!! Make it stop!!! Can’t we black bar these sort of things?!
can’t see the clip (I’m not from the US)
Europeans like crazy people, too. 🙁
Her body is extremely ugly.
Kelly lives on a planet made out of gummy bears and lollipops named “kookiter.” The inhabitats of her planet aren’t burden with things like feelings. And they spend their the whole day doing cartwheels, looking for “satchels of gold”, channeling unicorns and fairies, and rejoicing that it’s no longer 1979. Oh, and Kelly’s “friend” Gwyneth Paltrow lives there too free from Bethenny’s scorn.
Wait, who’s Gwyneth?
Best line of the episode, in my opinion.
Poor thing,I hope she gets the help she needs, and hope her daughters are ok. Watching that episode reminded me of when I was in nursing school and we were doing our psych rotations and I remember watching another woman going thru the same kind of meltdown(hers was a little more severe) and it really was heartbreaking.
Response#15:
Best. Comment. Ever.
Kaiser, glad you finally saw the episodes. Talk about must see TV!
@ Andrea, the same quote jumped out at me.
“The minute I walk into the room, I create…this stagnant frenetic energy”.
You couldn’t hire writers to come up with lines like that or actresses skilled enough to deliver them with Kelly’s inimitable belligerent incoherence.
Love, love, loved it when she ordered Alex and Ramona (I think it was them) to “zip it” when she didn’t want hear their reactions to her lunatic rants.
Just Hilarious!!!
Bat.Shit.Insane.
LOL@planet ‘kookiter’.
*Snickering* Can’t help it.
I love to watch “crazy” melt down – especially when she’s been so freaking mean. Now, everyone can see the real Kelly but Kelly.
I think Bethenny handled it very well – after Sonja delivered her epic line of, “We’re sane and now we’re picking on the crazy person,” or whatever she said.
I nearly rolled off my chair! Kelly didn’t bat an eyelash.
Batshit!
@Mrs. Kalifornia & Lollabella, thanks! Maybe we can arrange to send Kelly back to her home planet on Nasa’s final shuttle flight. We’ll just have to make sure there are no butter knives, cooks masquerading as chefs, or SCARY monogramed gift bags on board.
ew. those pics ruined what was a perfectly good bowl of pistachio ice cream. And are now making my baby cry. YOU MAKE BABIES CRY!
bat. shit. cra-A-azy.
Just had an epic idea. Get Kelly and Lindsay Lohan together so they can outcrazy each other. Dueling delusionals.
I’m not a fan of Kelly but there’s something about her that I understand. She goes non-verbal in emotional situations. It’s like the emotional side of her brain disables the verbal side of her brain, like an A-B switch. I can relate to that. My recall of events is really poor in highly-charged situations and I can say really stupid stuff. Again, not defending this kook. I can just relate to this particular disability.
all I have to say is “Satchels of Gold”.
She is crazy or on drugs. I guarantee you it is one or the other!! And according to Radar Online, she just adopted a puppy too – that won’t turn out well. Poor puppy!
while we’re on it, look at her boobs…it looks like they both saw each other, got scared, and are trying to run away from each other, up up and away!
Loved the insanity! The crying over the gift bag? The “Who does this?” over giving a gift bag with branded products? I was/am dumbfounded. Satchels of gold, man! Satchels of gold!
Remember last week when Sonja said Kelly’s room smelled like cat pee? I was so confused. Then I kept reading on other sites that METH users often smell like cat urine. A-HA!! Now everything makes sense. She is on drugs. I feel guilty for laughing, but it is soooooo funny.
Tess- Loved your description of her as exhibiting “belligerent incoherence.” YES. Perfect description.
She seems like she’s on drugs.
The first video is of Kelly expressing the fact that Jill asked aafter Bethenny. Then all the other gals wanted to pick it apart and change the fact. Kelly didn’t want to participate. Thats it. end of story. It doesn’t make Kelly crazy. It makes the others look like gossips and frenemies,is all.
Such crisis and hysteria over nothing -from all of them.
It was like watching aged 13-yr olds inventing drama for a lack of nothing better to do and to assert self importance. The lamest.
The only thing interesting (if at all) was that one of the women has a cartoon-sized wide jawline.
Next time I ever watch a clip from that show, I’ll be sure to pop an aspirin first.
comments 34 & 35 are probably from Jill Zarin.
Not the season finale.
for anyone who wants a hilarious recap of the episode:
http://gawker.com/5544698/real-housewives-of-new-york-kelly-killoren-bensimon-is-not-dead
and yes, kelly is definitely on drugs or had gone off her meds. anyone who is pretending anything she did was logical is just as crazy as she is.
Kelly is ugly inside-out; she is also uneducated and delusional. She is a very sad, sorry, scary person. I hope she gets excellent Mental Health Care…she sorely needs it!
Oh, and I cannot stand Ramona, Bethanny or Alex either. Frankly all the RHONYC are annoying, loud mouthed bitches.
Alcohol renders meds impotent. Leave the booze alone, honey.
Melting corpse is right! Good Cheeseburger-in-Paradise is she a road map for bad Lipo, starvation, and drug use… ew.
i have never understood how someone who is NOT ‘model beautiful’ and has such an AWFUL looking body can somehow have this popularity and MONEY to live like she does. i know she was once married to some famous photog, but come on; before she was on the RHONY HOW was she a famous person? she is all OVER the place more so now, but has always been since day one.. she makes the rest of the women look realllllyy normal; and THAT’s scary!
Ugh, this delusional hooker thinks she’s the center of the show/universe — it’s people like kelly why I DONT watch reality T.V.
I guarantee you this whole thing is just another stunt to keep her at the center of the plot-line. I’ve only seen a couple episodes of this mess but I remember her saying that she knew all about “PR 101” and that’s why she publicly tweeted Bethenny or some shit. I’m sure this is just some version of her batshit crazy “PR” tactic to say in the gossip-blogosphere.
And I just LOVE when people phrase their “biggest” problem as some positive personality-trait that underhandedly disses everyone else.
UGH you delusional moron! The faces she makes, the stupid “stagnant frenetic energy” sentences!! Blech! Some actress did the funniest impersonation of her bottom-jaw, under-bite heavy way of talking – HI-Larious!
First off, I can’t believe that you guys are insulting someone who’s actually a human being here over a meltdown that happened months ago. Kate, who died and deemed YOU as someone who determines whether or NOT someone is educated based on whether or not you like them? All of you people need to get over yourselves and show some actual compassion towards someone who was probably in a bad place while this was filmed.
@Sarah, although your sentiments deserve respect in general, in this particular instance your scolding is just plain out of place. If you followed the show you’d understand that Kelly truly deserves every last criticism she’s received here. She’s so full of herself it’s mind-boggling. I think drugs too.
@Carrie… it WAS the best line!
That episode may be one of the weirdest RHONYs ever.
RE “Satchels of gold”:
Kelly comes across like its not an act. It really could be that she is schizophrenic or bi-polar. Whatever it is, she needs to have the medication adjusted. . . It’s easy to see how she could become a person who just wanders delusionally around on the street outside and mumbles about “making lemons from lemonade”.
Bethenny and Kelly are BOTH completely cracked coco loco ‘Satchels of Gold’.
I love watching these two crazies on thier emotional roller coasters. I’m also looking forward to seeing just how ‘Satchels of Gold’ the Salahis are going to be in the future.
This woman was an ex-model, remember that as you look at her disfigured, creepy body :oO
@bros, that review at Gawker was hysterical! I pulled a stomach muscle from laughing so hard! Thankyou for linking it!
Eek her body looks awful in that first pic.
Maybe it’s steriods, that would explain her roidy body and her reactions/actions.
It is sad but such good reality tv. Seems like a Meth rant to me. Maybe Meth and psych drugs together. Or just bat sh** craAzy.
Check out her twitter, in her delusions of grandeur she was ecstatic that she was #5 on the most googled last week. Apparently, she doesn’t realize that she is being googled for ALL THE WRONG REASONS. She also thinks her followers on twitter are her “fans”, she’s too stupid to realize they follow her because she’s a mentally disturbed train wreck who’s about to crash!
Karma, people, karma. Be kind, we don’t know whats going on with her, I felt that someting was clinically wrong two episodes ago. Alot of you don’t like her and thats a right you have, but to wish her ill or saying she deserves it is beyond the pale.
The whole voyeurism thing of watching people make complete asses of themselves when there are better things to be done in the world, is just a major downer. Must be why I’ve gone back to old romances and mysteries from BBC.
@annie…I think you’re referring to my comment that she deserves “every last criticism she’s received here..”
btw, karma is good to me, thank God 🙂 I didn’t say she deserved a breakdown …I said she deserves the comments, …a mighty difference AND I did not read any comments that wished her “ill” either… It shouldn’t be necessary to exaggerate and misquote to make a point. Kelly lacks all sense of humility and that’s just the reality.
rattletraps and alcohol
@Mollination
That actress was Rashida Jones (The Office and Parks and Recreation). She did this impersonation on Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live.” video here:http://www.bravotv.com/watch-what-happens-live/season-2/videos?page=1.
When Tess (#19) referenced Kelly’s ‘inimitable belligerent incoherence,’ (best phrase EVER) that impersonation is immediately what was brought to the forefront of my brain!
i am in constant turmoil. please help me. i cannot decide who is more repulsive in every possible way: ramona or kelli. they both make my skin crawl but do i really have to pick one? life is cruel.
Her body is hideous. Do men actually find that attractive? What is that lump sticking out in the middle of her chest right below her bikini top? Is that something she swallowed that got stuck in her esophagus?
She has shoulders like a linebacker, no waistline, and no hips. She’s not feminine looking at all. I think she’s really a man. Maybe she’s had a sex change?
Greetings from California! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to check out your site on my iphone during lunch break. I really like the knowledge you present here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m shocked at how fast your blog loaded on my mobile .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, awesome blog!
