'Real Housewives of NY': Kelly Bensimon's anti-bullying P.S.A.
Kelly Bensimon has been T.V. gold on this season of "The Real Housewives of New York." She gave the housewives' trip to the Virgin Islands an extra helping of bananas with some nuts on the side. And it just keeps getting better.
Now, Bensimon has released a public service announcement on her YouTube account to clear up the "most important thing that happened" on this season. "The most important thing that happened was one thing that I realized," she says, "Systematic bullying is never okay. Four against one is never okay."
If you ignore the part where her sentence doesn't actually make sense, Kelly is actually sending a good message. The problem is that she's not actually taking responsibility for any bullying that she was a part of. We're still a little bit concerned that Kelly may be in the middle of some sort of meltdown.
When Zap2it spoke with Kelly's castmate Bethenny Frankel about Bensimon, Frankel said, "To be honest with you, I can't comment on an emotionally unstable person. She would tell me I was Chinese and how am I going to comment on it?"

Kelly is taking a very real and SERIOUS issue, and twisting it for her own media gain. This is the pathetic attempt of a public figure to do elaborate spin control. As an educator, I urge you to shun people like Kelly Bensimon – people who would take REAL issues that affect children and use these issues to hide behind. Kelly was NEVER systematically bullied, and for her to keep using that term makes her deplorable. In her mind, she’s the victim. She’s not, she’s just a crazy lady who can’t own the fact that she acted foolishly on national television. Own what you do, Kelly! It’s called being a grown up. Grown ups are not systematically bullied because we have the means to extract ourselves from unpleasant situations — the fact that you put yourself into this and continue to keep you and your family in this world of reality television speaks volumes about your level of maturity. Just pathetic!
She is nasty. Hum, if she did less drugs then maybe she would know what is going on. No wonder the other woman cant stand her fug face. She and Jill are made for eachother, old trash.

Kelly just needs to fake tan even more, drunk trash. Too bad she married her way into money, if not she would be cleaning houses now.
i've said it once and i'll say it again and again...
“a spoon full of medicine helps the sugar go down…â€
gum gum berries and la lolly pops were around to keep kelly calmed down.
she is all kinds of crazy…
she was and is out of line the way she talks to the other castmates on real housewives of new york. she isn't very smart and has a hard time keeping up on what is being said to her.
she isn't the brightest knife in the egg carton...
sonja let the cat out of the bag whenever she noticed the strong, strange smell that was coming from kellys’ room on the yacht. at first i thought sonja was being rude talking about someone elses yacht smelling bad, but she was smelling kelly.
kelly smelled like a junkie, meth head, tweeker, plain old cat pee.
kelly needs all that candy to tweek out on while she uses her meth.
crack may be wack but meth is best for kelly bensimon...
she is sick, she is very very sick…
bravo and her ex. needs to get her tested and off this show (rhny) for the sake of her kids and for her own sake as well…
i’m just sayin’…(o.m.g.)i'll just 'zip it' now...
I think she is crazy or suffers from bipolar.
Kelly was not bullied. People with paranoid personality disorder often use a coping mechanism termed projection. Projection allows her to perceive her own feelings as coming from outside of herself, it is easier for Kelly to feel bullied than acknowledge her disease.
Projection occurs when the ego perceives dysfunction from ‘somewhere’ and then seeks to locate that somewhere. The super ego warns of punishment if that somewhere is internal, so the ego places it in a more acceptable external place – often in convenient other people.
Projection turns neurotic or moral anxiety into reality anxiety, which is easier to deal with. Projection also helps justify unacceptable behavior, for example where a person claims that they are sticking up for themselves amongst a group of aggressive other people, like Kelly is doing.

she's clearly batsh#t crazy, just plain nuts.
It's rather disgusting and narcissistic to exploit a serious issue to avoid taking responsibility for your own actions and words. Bravo can edit out - they can't edit in. She said that stuff, she owns it. To argue that she was bullied when the evidence is clear she was bullying the others is ridiculous. Whether it's mental illness or drug use (which I suspect from the personality changes after he trips for candy) Kelly needs help and anyone who abets her delusion by allowing her to pretend that thisis about bullying is not helping her.
Someone get this nut job another jellybean.
