The Real Housewives of New York City's Kelly Bensimon's Insane Craziness

I have not watched, yet, the latest episode of The Real Housewives of New York City. I did see, this morning, that people were Googling various variations of "Kelly Bensimon Insane."

Up til last week's episode I'd been sort of slightly liking Kelly, this season. She seemed to be somewhat redeeming herself from last season's bizarre senseless confrontations with fan favorite, Bethenny Frankel.

And then we get last week's episode, aboard a yacht named Olga, where Kelly reverted to crazy, even crazier than any of the crazy Kelly behavior we'd seen before.

It started when Kelly tried to shut the other women down when the subject of the other mentally ill housewife, Jill Zarin, came up. Kelly said they were making lemonade out of lemons, and, with that bit of nonsense, Kelly got up and crashed into a glass door, spewing more nonsense on her way.

A short time later Kelly returns, references her timeout, seems to be acting normal. Now, me sitting there watching, thought to myself, what did she do? Leave the ladies so that she could take some medication because she had detected she'd slipped into a psychotic episode?

Later, after it appeared too much alcohol had been consumed, Kelly, stone cold sober Bethenny and my new favorite housewife, Sonja Morgan, sat talking. Ramona and Alex had escaped to the Hooters Yacht. Bethenny and Sonja were having a perfectly normal conversation when suddenly Kelly turned in to a Psycho Bitch again.

Kelly heaped all sorts of mean things on newly pregnant, newly fatherless, Bethenny, topping it off with the extremely strange assertion that Bethenny is a cook, not a chef.

In the week since her most recent humiliation, Kelly wrote, on her Bravo blog, that she was embarrassed, but did not elaborate. However, despite her alleged embarrassment, this week, on her Twitter account, Kelly has been Tweeting more insanity.

Now, I agree with Bethenny that this is one stupid broad. She seems befuddled by the simplest of things. I mean, it has been a year and she still does not understand Bethenny's Madonna remark or the Kelly comes from a place of no remark, blowing the remarks way way out of proportion.

We have now seen enough of Kelly's psychotic behavior to see how it is she came to assault her ex-boyfriend, Nicholas Stefanov.

Now, while I find watching a train wreck like Kelly Bensimon to be entertaining, I'm also thinking that this is a much more serious case of mental illness than we are watching with Jill Zarin. I think Kelly is in dire need of serious help, while I think Jill is in dire need of a spanking, a time out and a bitch slapping, more harshly delivered than those administered by Alex.

I am looking forward, sort of, to seeing how demented Kelly behaved this week. I know that accusing Bethenny of trying to kill her is part of it. And fellow mentally ill housewife, Jill, shows up briefly, likely amping up the insanity.

The reunion show for this season should deliver. Unless Kelly is thoroughly sedated.

Im a huge fan of the real hiuse wives of new york. i think kelly needs serious help. she should check in a psychiatric center. She should not be allowed to have full custody of her children either. Who knows if she even mistreats them verbally. this episode revealed the real her. Honestly, she is insane and i dont even know some of the stuff she was talking about. A normal human being would get annoyed and walk away. With her, it seems like nothing happened. Close family members and friends should be worried about her and the kids too. When she talked about bethenney killing her, this indicates that perhaps she is threatened and she might do something to bethenney that is horrible. I mean, she assaulted her ex. So girls, watch out on the show- especially sonja, jill and luann who are close to her. she might go bizzare one day and kill all of yall. She is a very dangerous woman- mentally disturbed.. help her
