Kelly Bensimon — star of Bravo’s hit docu-soap The Real Housewives of New York City — says she’s hasn’t flown over the cuckoo’s nest…Not yet anyway.
The former model is speaking out about the odd behavior she displayed on last week’s show. Appearing dishelved and sleep-deprived, Kelly launched into a “crazy” rant complete with jellybeans and talk of Al Sharpton on an episode that premiered last Thursday. The bizarre turn of events has left devoted Real Housewives fans scratching their heads and questioning Bensimon’s mental stability.
Kelly just doesn’t get what all the fuss is about.
“Some people are like, ‘You had a breakdown,’ and I’m like, ‘No, I had a breakthrough.’ I just let go, I was crying, just, like, stop harassing,” Kelly tells New York Magazine’s Culture Vulture. “I’m completely honest, I have a ton of integrity, and I love doing this show. The minute that I walk into the room, I create a frenetic energy — it’s not kinetic, it’s not, like, a forward motion, it’s just like this stagnant frenetic energy. And let’s be honest, it makes for awesome TV. I mean, haters are part of the ecosystem, and if they’re not hating on you, you’re not doing something right.”
Er — we’re not sure, Kelly. Sounds a bit meltdown-ish to us!
