RHONYC Recap: Kelly Bensimon Is Officially Out To Lunch


Ramona got it 100% right when she talked about how Kelly "harbors" resentment towards Bethenny, but who knew it ran so deep? I mean the outta-nowhere insults were flying all over the place last night, everything from the serious tone she took when Bethenny made the little quip about stomping the grapes to the "You're not a chef, you're a cook. It's creepy" line. The chick really has some insecure, crazy and obsessed issues with Bethenny. Of course, when Bethenny responded with "You are the most unintelligent human being I've ever had the pleasure of being around. Adios, lunatic!," was there really anything more to say? Guess there's plenty judging from the clips they showed from next week's episode.

  1. I am a big fan of the show however not of Kelly. She is a rude, obnoxious person. Also she is showing valid signs of mental illness I believe she needs treatment and medicine.

  3. I feel most sorry for Kelly's two girls. If she is this erratic on the show, one can only imagine what the home life is for those girls. Where's social services when you need them?! Do us (and your children) a favor Kelly and get some professional help!

  6. She's showing all the symptoms of the beginning of schizophrenia. In women it begins later than for men and she's not too old. It can be really tragic because most women are mothers when it begins and often their husbands divorce them (as hers did) not realizing that their wife is ill and needs help.

    Everything, from the pattern of her outbursts to the way she becomes overwhelmed by conversation (because her brain is running overtime inventing scary things every word might mean) to the way she frantically gobbles sugar to the way she gets dressed up but doesn't do basic grooming ( bathing and brushing her hair). It's classic schizophrenia behavior. It's sad to see this being played out in front of the world, but perhaps it will jar her family into seeing what is going on and will get her some help. Or at least get those kids to a safe place.

    By comparison, Danielle from the New Jersey Housewives is unbalanced too, but her mental illness is man made, and is based on life long rage, while Kelli's is chemical.

  7. am I the only one that thinks meth might have something to do with her going off the handle?? The crazy behavior, the strong cat pee smell, the candy and lollipops she was eating. I don’t know why people think rich people don’t do drugs like meth. She actually reminded me of that short lived reality show Whitney Houston had that she was cracked out on…same insane rambling sprees that Whitney would go on. That is just my personal observation...just throwing that out there. Maybe i'm the only one that thinks that, but either way drugs or mental illness the woman seriously needs medical attention.

  8. I agree with the above comment on schizophrenia. Usually this disorder manifests itself in your early twenties, and seeing that we do not know this poor women, who knows what signs or symptoms she may have presented earlier in her life. Stress is a huge trigger for someone to lose control of their illness and clearly this is what we've seen from Kelly this past episode. Paranoia, persecutory delusions, nonsense talking (evidence of the active phase).

    Kelly, you should be evaluated by a psychiatrist. Hopefully they can lead you in the right direction with the appropriate treatment plan (meds, therapy). Many people live normal lives with some guidance and assistance.

  9. I agree that Kelly is showing signs of schizophrenia. She is consistently muddled in her thought processes (comprehension and verbal). The way she was crying over the bag that Bethenny left for her at her door - the response was totally inappropriate for the situation. Her story about the dream she had about Bethenny stabbing her with a knife elicited real fear from her and is totally unfounded. She really needs help. She is paranoid about people tearing her apart in the press, but look at how she is presenting herself. She is mentioning people that she may not even hang out with like Gwenyth Paltrow. And the vivid imagery that she is spouting off - "You're tongue is sharp as knives...you are a vampire in kabuki make-up" - is indicative of schizophrenia. Also, "The white noise - stop the chatter," What chatter? Are there voices in her head? Her instability is evident in that she even attended this trip knowing that she doesn't like any of the women that she is with. Why go? A sane person wouldn't.
    I truly hope that BRAVO does do something to get Kelly help - to profit off of her obvious mental illness is just plain wrong.

  10. Remember when we thought Alex and Simon were the wierd ones. Clearly, Kelly needs professional help. This is something Betheny has been saying all along. Remember when they met for a drink at the end of last season and Kelly just attacked Bethany. Clearly, she had issues then, but maybe she and the producers were better at disguising that fact.

  11. why dont any comedians such as jay leno or the view talk about kelly, this is clearly the most mentally insane person I have ever ever seen in a reality show she is 5150.

  12. Kelly is seriously unbalanced (not sure if it's drug induced or not but it dosn't really matter)What does matter is that she is severely paranoid & has an unhealthy obsession with poor Bethany- Kelly cannot stay on the show!
