Real Housewives' Kelly Bensimon Attacks Bethenny Frankel Again
The Real Housewives of New York star Kelly Bensimon hasn't put away her cat claws.
In May's Harper's Bazaar, she attacks Bethenny Frankel (again) for saying she has an "inauthenticity" to her in an early episode of the Bravo show.
"Is Bethenny a socialite? No." Bensimon, 40, says. "Will she ever sit next to [socialite] Lauren DuPont? No. Is she best friends with [Estee Lauder Senior Vice President] Aerin Lauder? No. Am I? No. Do I care? No. Does she? Oh, absolutely. She's not authentic."
"All she does is sit there and cry all the time," she continues. "I'm like, You're crying about guys? And shut up."

Wait, there's more.
"Honestly, if being inauthentic means graduating from Columbia University, writing three books, starting two magazines, bearing two children [daughters Sea, 10, and Teddy, 8], being the ambassador for wool, running a marathon for charity — if that's inauthentic? Tell me what authentic is," she says.

In an email to Usmagazine.com, Frankel, 38, laughs off Bensimon's remarks: "Who is Lauren DuPont? The only person I want to hang out with is Jill Zarin."
Benismon -- who faces a misdemeanor assault charge after she allegedly punched her ex-boyfriend, Nick Stefanov -- also says she has some regrets about appearing on the show.

"One of the worst things about putting yourself out there is exposing yourself to situations you never dreamed would be a reality," she says.
Still, asked if she could be anyone else for a day, she replies, "I would be me. Every single day. With criticism, without criticism. Just to be me. Because what's so bad about that?"

Re: Real Housewives' Kelly Bensimon Attacks Bethenny Frankel Again
And yet Bethany STILL comes out looking better than Kelly.
The cream ALWAYS rises to the top. This is proof of that.

Kelly is "the ambassador for wool"?
I'm pretty sure Bethenny isn't crying over missing out on that one!

Re: Real Housewives' Kelly Bensimon Attacks Bethenny Frankel Again
I really cannot stand Kelly!!! I think she is the worst housewife ever including all of the OC girls as well. She needs to go. I hope she doesn't do another season.

Re: Real Housewives' Kelly Bensimon Attacks Bethenny Frankel Again
I don't like Kelly - but Bethany is kind of getting on my nerves too
I don't know...I think maybe I just don't find her as funny anymore, she is really tightly wound
but I love Jill and crazy Ramona

She needs to get over herself!!! I really hope that she isn't back for the next season and she rides off into the sunset on that stupid horse in her apartment.

Re: Real Housewives' Kelly Bensimon Attacks Bethenny Frankel Again
1. 
2. Does wool really need an ambassador?
3. Can someone look into this Columbia claim? I'd bet $$$ there's a catch. No way she went to Columbia the ivy league school. No. way.
She just keeps humiliating herself more and more....

Re: Real Housewives' Kelly Bensimon Attacks Bethenny Frankel Again
Kelly seems like one of those people who need to put others down in order to feel better about themselves.
That whole bar scene on the show where she asked Bethenny to meet her and then showed up 1/2 hour late- so declasse!!!

Re: Real Housewives' Kelly Bensimon Attacks Bethenny Frankel Again
I find her annoying. She doesn't really bring anything to the show and half the time she looks like she is on something

If she is the ambassador for wool, can I be the duchess of denim?
She's a nutcase.

Re: Real Housewives' Kelly Bensimon Attacks Bethenny Frankel Again
Is this is her ex-husband NOT what I expected him to look like
This was taken from the eductaion section on wikipedia:
Killoren Bensimon studied first at Trinity College, then transferred to the General Studies undergraduate school of Columbia University, where she graduated with a BA in English Literature
ETA: I can't believe she's 51. She looks great.

Re: Real Housewives' Kelly Bensimon Attacks Bethenny Frankel Again
I can't stand Kelly!
I read on bravotv.com that Bethanny said that Kelly's "gifts" donated for Jill's charity were BS, and that the person who paid for the photo shoot with Kelly's ex husband was unable to get what they paid for, Kelly cannot be reached and the ex never made good on his services. Bethanny goes on to say that her ex, the one that she brought to the party with Kelly, volunteered to do the photo shoot instead.
I'm going to see if I can find the link to Bethanny's blog on there and post it here.Bethanny's blog
