The Real Housewives of New York City Season 2: New Housewife Kelly is a Nutcase

I would not have watched it during lunch if I knew that last night's Real Housewives of New York City was going to be so gut wrenchingly unsettling.

Last week we saw new housewife, Kelly, make a total ass of herself at a planning meeting for a charity Jill is doing to benefit helping cure the type of arthritis her daughter has.

When told what the charity was for and the inspiration for it, Kelly said, "That's cute."

She is constantly saying very out of sync, inappropriate comments. Like when she was showing Ramona around some architect's work and Ramona asked some question regarding whether or not Ramona should help Jill with her charity, Kelly's first reply was something like, "Did you know I was the youngest member ever admitted to the New York Junior League?" The look of confusion on Ramona's face was funny.

At the meeting for Jill's arthritis charity, Kelly showed up late. Bethenny was there, contributing helpful suggestions. The soon-to-be-divorced Countess Luann was there. I forget who else. Kelly was very dismissive, said she could not commit, that she gets asked to do too many things and can't say yes to all of them.

The way she declined was very rude. Bethenny made some Bethenny-type very funny remark, something like, "Who is she? Madonna?"

Kelly was SO upset at how Bethenny treated her at this meeting that Kelly invited Bethenny to meet her at a bar. Bethenny did not know what, exactly, Kelly wanted to meet her for. Kelly wanted to set Bethenny straight. Has Kelly not watched the show? Obviously Kelly has not the slightest idea who Bethenny is or what her character is like.

So, Kelly shows up a half hour late. When Bethenny says she's been waiting for a half hour, Kelly made some dismissive remark and then launched into this bizarre verbal assault, starting with telling Bethenny that she and her were not friends. It got weirder and weirder from that point on, and for me, turned into one of the weirdest, oddest, most disturbing reality tv diatribes I have seen.

Kelly was so full of venom, spewing it at Bethenny. Anything Bethenny said in reply just set Kelly off being even weirder. It did not border on creepy. It was creey. There is something very very wrong with Kelly. I'm talking mentally ill wrong. There have been other signs, but last night it was out in the open and obvious.

It reminded me way too much of how an ex-friend of mine could act. Something would trigger her neurosis and out would spew all this venom that would make absolutely no sense. And if you tried to ask a question about the venom, the venom would just spew worse. Watching Kelly be a spewing nutcase was way too deja vu for me.

After the diatribe finally ended, Kelly got up and left, telling Bethenny that she had a date, leaving Bethenny sitting there totally perplexed by the sociopathic patheticness she'd just been subjected to. As Bethenny left the bar, Kelly lurked at the exit and once more verbally assaulted her.

And then Kelly went back inside to meet her date! This good-looking, according to Kelly, French guy, who Kelly proceeded to tell a very warped version of her confrontation with Bethenny.

Kelly has now, by far, surpassed Simon and Alex as the weirdest, most unlikable character on the show. She is awful. Looks awful, acts awful, her face appears to be permanently in red-rash mode. Where do they find such great characters to make such great reality tv? And why would someone who so obviously has serious issues agree to be on such a show.

I suspect every awful thing Kelly said to Bethenny has been said to Kelly, many times, that is how these type twisted sorts operate. With her pretentious ways I am sure Kelly has been told many a time that you are down here, (gesturing low with her hand) and I am up here, (gesturing with her hand). Which is what she did to Bethenny.

Reality is, you could not stretch your hand high enough to demonstrate at how much higher a plain Bethenny operates than that awful Kelly creature.

And how in the world did Kelly the Creep get to know Sam Talbot from Top Chef, to the point Sam was willing to come to her house and give Kelly and the Countess a cooking lesson?

By now, with the show running, Kelly is getting her comeuppance. The reunion show this time should be very very funny. With Bethenny doing some real good, well-deserved bitch slapping.
