Of all the Real Housewives of New York City, Kelly Bensimon is the not the worst. Personally, I think Jill Zarin is the worst a greedy, vindictive yenta-turned-fame-monster who is, simply, bad for the Jews (Michelle Collins s mom, Judy, is with me on that one).
Unlike Jill, Kelly Bensimon is not threatening. She is just a supremely weird lady who, against all odds, appears on a television show in which she is expected to think fully-realized thoughts and speak in coherent sentences (mostly in the form of heated insults predicated upon arguments about, like, who may have farted while drinking champagne at a fundraiser for paper cuts). And, if you ve ever seen the show, you know that she is being paid for a service she cannot provide.
That peculiar ineptitude translates just as poorly onto her personal YouTube videos, a recent one which features KKB dousing her hair in lemon juice, salt, oil, and booze, and doing that thing where she pretends she s making a joke to cover her tracks in case anyone takes her words seriously. I m doing this for you guys, she claims. We re doing this together!
Last we checked, the video had 111 views, so it s okay, Kelly. You don t have to do anything for us. Go ahead and cash your checks, and congratulations on everything. Well-deserved.
