More proof that the "Real Housewives...of anywhere" are FAKE, FAKE. And, whoever designed the owl jewelry...it's ugly.  

These owls are copies of vintage. So neither of these women had the new and creative idea that brought them into being.  

1- I agree w/Sally. 2- This new 'Housewives of NY' Kelly chick has been recently hit with one shit storm after another. Only goes to show that no good fortune can come from doing a reality tv show.  

I do not like this Kelly a all. She shows no compassion for her fellow man. Leave Bethany alone, she has spunk and is a people person, her and Jill are my favorites. Kelly is a snob.  

like someone else said, they owl necklaces are more expensive copies of vintage necklaces that came back into fashion a few years ago (and already back out again). no one has a patent on profiting off replicas of old costume jewelry. neither of these women are real designers, just businesswomen.  

One more useless self promoter. if she hadn't married rich she would be dancing at the Penthouse Executive Club. She doesn't deserve the space on your site!  

Kelly belongs on the Biggest Loser. Although she must have been a beautiful young woman, I see why Giles Bensimon gave her the old heave-ho. She's rude, bad tempered and dishonest. And orange. All unattractive qualities, physically, emotionally and morally.  

Kelly is a vicious, violent, narcissistic, self-aggrandizing swindler. She even conveys a certain insincerity when "mothering" her girls (that whole scene on "Housewives" where she insisted on them wearing matching sweaters indoors was beyond the pale). And would someone please tell me: Why does she look so greasy?  

There are a lot of Team Jill people in Lakewood, CO....we are getting ready to order our t-shirts. Will post a picture for the web-site.  

No doubt on the copying costume jewely - when I was watching this dreck I kept thinking....hmm I think my Gram had a necklace just like that one (c.70's)...  

Personally I think Kelly continues to make a fool of herself on each episode, starting witht the charity meeting. Then she thinks she is going to call out Bethenny (1 of the veterans)don't think so. She looked like an idiot. Maybe that is Bravo's point, " to always have one dummy on these shows".  

Kelly is jealous of Bethenny, because Bethenny has need no man in her life to make her success. She doesn't have to name drop to sound important. All the other women on the show seem to love and except Bethenny just as she is.  

Every time Kelly is onscreen I think of Zoolander. It's like she is living in a perpetual fashion shoot. Here she is STOPPING TRAFFIC and HAVING A CAREFREE PILLOW FIGHT! Aw, sassy!!  

Kelly, go back to the midwest, you are no Elle McPhearson one of Giles earlier girlfriends. You face is looks like a dried up mexican saddle. You were never a super model and you repeatedly embarrass yourself. Don't try using big words like sophmoric, stick to "foil" and "fake". Max Max can do much better than you and in time he will realize that.  

She's a total a-hole and I hate her guts. I love watching her fail.  

Emily - you killed it - TRUE.TRUE.TRUE  

Kelly got ugly early. All that juvaderm or whatever she uses to fill her face .... ugh! What is she like 50 or something trying to look 35. There is something to be said for aging gracefully. Also if you are a nice person, it shows. And if you are a bitch? that shows on her face too. Go Bethany! You make me laugh skinny girl.  

I agree with Cheryl. I think she always looks greasy, too. Either that, or she looks like she needs a bath. And that nasty dirty hair! Buy a comb! Every time she's on screen I feel like I should turn my head for fear we'll get an accidental shot of her dirty undies! Icky icky woman.  

Max Max is just using her to get on tv!  

Kelly is a moronic, meglomaniacal, self-absorbed, ridiculous caricature of her younger self. Put a "brar" on, back away from the tanning booth, quit stealing other peoples ideas, go to anger management classes, and get a JOB. I feel so sorry for those girls.  

She is so flaky!!!! I don't like her personality at all...  

I don't know if Kelly has manic tendacies or is just high. Either take your meds as prescribed Kelly or go to Rehab. Lindsay's looking for a new friend. As for her fake owl designs she stole, boyfriend she abused, jobs she was fired from--the fashion writer job that never really was--honey--please, just say I'm living mainly off the divorce agreement slash child support from my rich husband--that's all.  

Am I the only one who thinks Kelly is an adam's apple away from looking like a Transgender?  

Kelly says she is a graduate of Columbia University. She graduated from the Columbia University School of General Studies NOT the University. The part of Columbia she graduated from is designed for adults, doesn’t require SAT or ACT scores, you only two recommendations, GPA of 2.5 or better.  

All the gay guys say Max is gay as can be.  

Kelly's ideas are about as original as her plastic breasts. I hate this woman. Who in the hell says "that's cute" when told a child has rheumatoid arthritis? What an idiot! If it weren't for her body, this "butterface" i.e. but her face, and her marriage to Gilles Bensimon she would still be a hick from IL.  

Kelly is about as fake as anyone on television, aAnd that covers a lot of territory. RHNYC need to give her the boot because she is a total turnoff, it's not even controversial, just BORING.  

I always "record" RHNYC and when Kelly parts come on, I always fast forward through hers. Boring...fake...rude...Feel Love Jill and Bethany and Alex. Rest are way too self absorbed.  

The owl designs are repeats of vintage jewelry - redone from victorian animal & bird jewelry pieces and art deco abstracts to even as recent as the Avon jewelry designs. I have several Avon owls in my "junk jewelry" box -nearly identical to the NYC Housewives/Kelly pieces!  

Kelly is a pathetic, self-absorbed, uneducated, narcissistic egomanic. She can't open her mouth without saying "like". She needs to learn proper English because she talks like a teenager. I couldn't stand to be in her presence for five minutes because she is so annoying that I would have to slap the you-know-what out of her!  

Its sad to see a HYPOCRITICAL narcissitic EFFECTED desperate snobby classless -itch get air time except for the fact she makes Bethenny as well as other cast members look even better. Bethenny has more class in her little finger than the rest of the cast could find if paid to show class. LIfe is waaay too short and stressful to tolerate much less engage people like Kelly.  

kelly really understands the world...and she can totally let her hair down....lol..she's a douche-bag...  

kelly is a pig.  

Kelly brings to mind a Texas phrase....... she looks like she was "rode hard and put away wet". I'm just saying.....  

kelly is really out there!!!!! when luann said let your hair down and have fun she really let her hair down!!! unbelieveable and she made it this far wow!!! be nice to bethanny!!!! shes great !!!  

Why does she keep the "Bensimon" if she's not married to Gilles anymore? Who the heck does this girl think she is? She reminds me of those self-absorbed elitist girls in high school who thought everybody wanted to be them, but in reality nobody cared, because they were boring and deluded. I enjoy watching her fumble and look like an ass every week. "Max Max" SO is gay. I don't buy that for one second. I like your pink boots? And your "silky" legs? Puke in my mouth. How did this girl even write for anything legit? Her vocabulary is laughable. Using a word like "foil" in a conversation with a man who can barely understand English, and in a totally inappropriate context. I cringe every time she speaks. I wonder if this is the exposure she thought would come from this.  

Is Kelly Bensimon is a man? Kelley Binsomon is starving to be around celebs. She is so petty and spoiled. She picks a fight and attacks precious Bethany then wont let Bethany respond. Kelley Binsomon is a spoiled brat and a celebrity hag. She talks like she was born in a beer hall. I dont watch the show when she is on. No one likes her. Kelly Bensimon has NOTHING but the last name of her probably-decent former husband. Kelly Bensimon face is irreversibly scarred from the sun She looks about 55. I swear on a bible, I thought she was the oldest one when she began on the show. She is ugly on the outside. Whoever wrote "karma" is dead on... She is lucky that her fame (being on this show) is bolstered by being low classed and spoiled and mean, because it gives higher ratings when a housewife acts up. In real life no one would want her around. Her voice is the worst. I am sure her voice is a birth defect. I want to see her birth certificate. Is she a man! I have never been more proud of a post. Please put her name inside your posts, so when she googles they will come us. Then she can see how she is not getting away with being the celebrity hag and trouble maker she is.  

REPONSE TO LAURA: "Am I the only one who thinks Kelly is an adam’s apple away from looking like a Transgender?" No! Laura! I think Kelly is a man now. I heard that when Kelly Binsemon was arrested the police officer wrote up the police report that she was a man. She better change her name to a more gender-specific one, so when she is arrested next time her name can give the police officers a clue to her gender. Her face, body and voice surely dont give a clue to her gender. Is Kelly Binsimon a man? I can only imagine how badly her former husband wants his last name back now. She is making a fool of it.  

I feel so sorry that her kids have to have such a horrible person as a mother. Kelly Binsemon is celebrity hag!  

Kelly Bensimon is the most obnoxious, conceited, crazy tranny looking woman I've ever seen. Get her off the TV! I understand that controversy often equals ratings but there is a point where people will stop watching when people are too overbearing, self-centered and just plain stupid. She either is on drugs or needs to be medicated for mental illness. I used to like the Real Wives of New York but I just cannot tolerate her. I just don't need the aggravation - and neither does Bethenny. Don't engage with her Bethenny - attention is what she wants.  

I really do not like Kelly. I am outraged by the way she treated Bethany! Bethany and Jill are normal. Kelly is terribly fake and we all know "fake" people can't stand to be around "real" people like Bethany ... it makes them uncomfortable. Kelly is crazy, makes no sense, is cruel, and trys way to hard. I just can't stand her !!  

oh yeah, so "real". they're all disgusting fake vapid people with too much makeup. who cares.  

WOW. I AM IN AGREEMENT WITH ALL OF THE ACCURATE STATEMENTA ABOUT THIS KELLY LADY. I CAN HEAR HER VOICE IN MY HEAD WITH HE FAKE, "HIIII...HELLO I'M KELLY, HI... AHHHHHH...HATE HER. BETHANY IS SO REAL AND AN AMAZING WOMAN. I ADMIRE HER IN SO MANY WAYS STARTING WITH CLASS. TAKE NOTES KELLY. how on earth did she get on this show..CLASSLESS  

I feel sorry for Kelly. She is fake, a liar and clueless as to how she comes across. Karma has struck again. I love Bethenny and Jill. The show has opened my eyes to certain things. Who knew you could waste so much money?  

I also agree. I think Kelly is looney. She really needs to watch the video of this show and how she spoke to Bethany. She makes no sense. She really makes herself look bad and should be embarrassed. Bethany is awesome...I love her and the other ladies. There will be nothing she can do to make peace with Kelly. They just do not mesh well.  

my son catches this show with me occasionally and he hates kelly with a passsion. it's scary. after her cat fight with bethany he said "i want to punch her in the face with brass knuckles that are on fire" can i get a witness?  

I agree with everyone here. Kelly is disgusting. Her skin has a ruddy shine to it.........and yes she has tanned way too much. She is a Dermatologist's dream with all the premature aging she will have from too much sun exposure. Why does she always look so greasy, someone else mentioned that too?? Maybe she needs that Dermatologist sooner than later??!  

Did anyone watch the Reunion show tonight? Kelly is a nuttier than a Snickers bar. Every time she opens her mouth she digs the hole even deeper. There's no way she can redeem herself. She's too darn crazy. I hope she finds a shrink and straightens herself out before she damages those little daughters. On another note, Ramona is in contention with Kelly for nuttiest housewife, It's pretty much a toss up between those two. Wow, she's wound up tight.  

She’s rude, bad tempered and dishonest. And orange. I love this quote! They are all a bit orange except for the slim redhead, And I think she's the only non fake on there. Bethany has issues. Some have more money than sense.  

I'm a student attending Columbia University's School of General Studies. And after reading the comment posted by the supposed "Columbia University Grad" I feel the need to set the record straight. The School of General Studies, or GS as it is commonly referred to at Columbia, is one of three undergraduate degree-granting institutions at Columbia University. Those admitted to the School of General Studies are in every way apart of the traditional undergraduate experience at Columbia. They take the same courses and fulfill the same degree requirements as the traditional college students. They are able to participate in varsity sports, pledge for the various fraternities, and participate in any of the various clubs. The School of General Studies is not an extention school, nor does it offer watered down evening courses. The admission standards for GS differ from that of Columbia College. And they differ for good reason. Columbia College is seeking traditional students - i.e. students recently graduating from high school. Whereas, GS is seeking students of non-traditional age and background. Those applying to GS have to submit the following: 1. High School Transcripts 2. College Transcripts 3. SAT results - or they can take the GS exam, which is similar to the verbal portion of the SAT. 4. Two recommendations are required. 5. An autobiographical essay. 6. A resume. The admissions committee at GS seeks students that are well prepared for the rigorous course work they will encounter at Columbia. They seek interesting and talented adults that will add to the discussion in the classroom. The admissions committee "takes into account traditional measures of academic success such as test scores and high school grade point averages. The Admissions Committee will also make a determined effort to engage applicants in a dialogue designed to gauge their academic and intellectual capabilities. This dialogue, while not discounting traditional admissions criteria, encompasses a profile of work experiences, past academic accomplishments, personal achievements, and depth of commitment to a demanding program of study and the pursuit of excellence." I didn't find a minimum GPA requirement to apply to GS on their website, but it may be there. However, anyone applying with a 2.5 has little hope in getting an admission offer from GS. Now let's discuss the degree. The degree they receive is, in fact, a degree from the Trustees of Columbia University, it is signed by the president of the University and the Dean of the School of General Studies. The "Columbia University Grad" is obvious misinformed, especially when he/she suggests that Kelly didn't graduate from the UNIVERSITY that granted her the degree. Columbia granted her the degree. When Kelly argues she graduated from Columbia she is correct. She has every right to be proud of her IVY LEAGUE education. There are few institutions that are as humanistic as Columbia. And those that were admitted to Columbia by way of GS shouldn't, in any way, be made to feel inferior to those that were admitted by way of the College. I understand people may not like Kelly. That's fine, but stop trying to tear her down. And for the Columbia University Grad, are you for real?  

Kelly Bensimon is all of the above and just plain DUMB.  

Kellys a washed up hag wanna be, that never was. Why she is on this show is beyond me!!! She needs to be removed before she makes someone sick looking at he!!!  

@Columbia University Grad: I am not a fan of hers, but as a decent human being: It is still a part of Columbia University. If she said she graduated from Columbia College, she would be wrong. Although, regardless, she was taking the SAME classes as traditionally admitted students and competing on the SAME curves for the grades. We don't know what her GPA, SAT, recommendations, application, etc. look like...we shouldn't diminish someone's accomplishments based on speculation...and I'm sensing some entitlement and a superiority complex here. On a personal note, I attended the School of General Studies. I graduated at the top of my class in high school, had the best SAT scores in my high school (and they are above Columbia's admitted Columbia College average) and generally placed in the top percentile on standardized tests including receiving a perfect score on my state's "boards" I have no doubt I could have gone to Columbia directly from high school had I considered it. I received full rides to every college I applied to including highly selective private colleges and major universities. While at Columbia, I attended courses with traditional undergraduates and when I earned an A, it was no less an A than the A that a traditionally admitted student earned in the same course. When I earned a B, it was because I earned a B. (Obviously according to those ridiculous curves that Columbia has). And on another note, I being an older student was disgusted by the blatant cheating I saw over and over again from the undergrads. And yes, I would say I was in classes where a large majority (I'd be surprised if someone told me it was less than 80%) of the traditional age undergrads were cheating. So, I actually value the grades I earned at other institutions where I wasn't on a curve because I know, that is the grade I earned based on how I met the professor's expectation and not, where I happened to fall in a fundamentally flawed curve due to rampant cheating by stressed out traditionally aged undergrads.  

On the Columbia controversy: a higher education is an excellent goal, no matter the institution. That said, Columbia has to cringe every time Kelly mentions her alma mater. She is not the walking advertisement desired by any college - well, maybe Clown College. Although she may be their tallest representative, Kelly does not do the Oompa Loompas proud.  

I don't care from where she graduated or IF she graduated; her behavior makes her look stupid. She's the dimmest bulb in a low-watt package.  

omg like really i totally hate this chick....she is a frickin maniac and needs to be bitch slapped!!  

Kelly is one of the dumbest women there is in the world. I can't believe she had the nerve to attack Bethenny, especially since she is pregnant and her father just died! I found Kelly's actions were so ruthless, she couldn't even control her mouth considering Bethenny's ordeal. What a b!!!! I'm glad I'm not on that show because I would probably be in jail waiting trial for beating the crap out of Kelly!  

Kelly you are so dumb!!! You are just jealous of Bethennny, get over it becasue no matter what you will never have anything on her. She has more class and style than you have in your pinky! I think you shouodl leave the show before you ruin yourself, oh wait u already have, my bad, lol! Dimwit, get over yourself and stop being fake becuz ur everyone has already figured u out!  

Oh my, stop it with the Columbia Universtity war. We're talking about Kelly here. Either the University or School of General Studies, they're both good, they're both teach you something. Right?! Now, about Kelly. She IS greasy, and super orange - looks like a old lady's head just got nipped & tucked and implanted on a hot orange greasy body. And what's with her and gummy bears...i'm almost sure she spiked her jelly beans with something. She just blabbing out about NOTHING. That girl, no, wait, that air-head needs to go to see her psychiatrist more often. I wonder what her kids think seeing their Mum making a fool of herself on the telly. She was married to Gile Bensimon?? So how old is Kelly? Coz Gile's old...haha. But he is a great photographer. She needs to ditch that Bensimon name, coz she's embarrassing to Gile. Dear Kelly's beautiful daughters, go live with your Papa!!! Coz your mom is contagious. And Dear Kelly, please please get help/counseling for the sake of your daughters. And they might need some counseling themselves. Coz you're acting pretty weird lately. Especially on that trip, IT WAS ONLY A DREAM!!! COZ YOU'RE PARANOID!!! But you know what? I bet Kelly was dreaming stabbing sweet Bethany instead. Coz she's the coo-coo one. I love Bethany's sense of humor, congrats on your success. You didn't do anything wrong. Jill is the one starving for attention. Note the interview with Bobby, it should be about Bobby but Jill just took over with her fast and loud mouth. Note to Jill: THE WORLD ISN'T REVOLVE AROUND YOU!!!!  

I love this blog... However, I kind of disagree with some of you. I kind of like the OWL, It reminds me of something I made my mother in first grade - I think its made of a couple Cheerios and Pretzels... Go Figure. I can only add that I would love to be Kellys drug dealer....maybe I could afford LuAnns old appartment.  

YOU PEOPLE ARE SO PATHETIC. So much on here is about how she looks: her skin is ruddy, she looks like a man, she's orange from tanner, her hair is greasy, she looks like she's 50, she's leathered.....WTF? Does that make you feel better. What ever happened to don't judge a book by its cover? You people DO NOT EVEN KNOW HER. You are watching a Reality TV show and you think you have her all figured out. She might be a moron, but the hell do her looks have to do with it? Most of you are more hateful and disgusting than you claim she is.  

Just because the NY season is over does NOT mean the end of bloganalysis! Read about the real mental issues behind the Real Housewives of Bravo TV. [angelofdevs.wordpress.com]  

"Kelly" needs to get in touch more with his feminine side as he still looks and acts like a man - a good example of a transvestite gone wrong.  

I found this site because I went to 'Google' to see if Kelly is really crazy. She appears to have low self esteem and inadequacy issues, obviously overcompensating. I was surprised to read the two Columbia grads prattle on and on...about themselves. Clearly an attempt to disaassociate from crazy Kelly. Kelly could be palatable if she wasn't so mean.  

Come on please has anyone watched the show? Kelly makes one statement and then the if not the next show a few later she will make a fool of herself by opening her mouth. I wear Fur but I do not believe in harming animals! Does she think there is a Fur Fairy that prevents animals from being harmed? Also she seems to put herself above everyone but in reailty she needs mental help. I feel very sorry for her children, after all she asked her children about posing nude for Playboy how they feel about it, I recall the youngest said that as long as she kepted her clothes on she didnt mind. So she did not care about her children enough to say no what does that tell you and then the blow out or should I say the mental break down she had on the boat was just that a mental break down. Not a break thru, and no matter how good your PR is there is no way to put a good spin on the boat scences. And if anything she is more clueless then a snowflake!  

i hate this woman no brains i don't see how she graduated from high school much less Columbia university-she does have a mental problem i don't care how much Luman and Jill want to protect her. Her arguments make no sense.
