Kelly Bensimon Calls Alex McCord a "Vampire"

The claws (and knives!) came out Thursday night on The Real Housewives of New York.
It's day two on the island of St. John's for Ramona, Bethenny, Kelly, Alex and Sonja. Almost immediately, Kelly and Bethenny get into a shouting match while sitting down to a dinner cooked by Bethenny . (Kelly insists that Bethenny is just a "mere cook" but "not that she cares.")

Bethenny, pregnant with her hair in braids, yells at Kelly to "cut the bullsh--" at which Kelly admonishes her innocence by pretending not to know what Bethenny is talking about. Bethenny, in tears, leaves the table while Kelly still insists that she is the innocent one in the party here and that she has had dreams that Bethenny is out to stab her to death with her a knife.
Later back at the villa, Bethenny tries to make nice to the ladies by leaving Skinny Girl tote bags filled with goodies at each of their doors, but Kelly calls the gift bags "creepy" and calls Jill to tell her all about Bethenny's supposed plot to kill her. Jill feigns concern for Kelly, but it's obvious that she's dying to be in on the action herself.
The next day, Kelly takes pictures of everyone on the beach and Bethenny opts to stay home. Meanwhile, Sonja (who prances around in a cheetah bikini) and Ramona enjoy the shoot while Alex seems to be having a hard time with her poses.

At dinner that evening, Kelly is asked to go into the other room when she answers a phone call from her child and begins to talk loudly.
"When I'm talking to my child, don't even come near me because I will claw your eyes out," she says. She then commences to complain about everything from the martinis being served to the steak Bethenny cooked and calls Alex a vampire.
"Nice pancake makeup," she tells Alex.
Kelly's saving grace is Sonja, who coaxes Kelly back from the edge.
"The four of us are actually sane and she's crazy and now we're picking on her," Sonja said in Kelly's defense.
Always the voice of reason, Alex tells everyone to "knock it off and stop engaging." Bethenny tells Kelly that she doesn't want her to feel as if she's attacking her and all seems well again.
See what happens on next week's episode when Jill shows up unannounced!
Tell Us What You Think
71anyone that thinks kelly is just fine, can't possibly watch the show. kelly is the one that attacked bethany last year because of an inane bethany made. she told bethany "i'm up here, and you're down there." yeah, that's not too mean. kelly was constantly badgering bethany in USVI. kelly is a wacko who is either on drugs, has a mental condition, or both
Oh, please. Kelly is just fine - she's just been pushed to the edge by women who have spent their lives sharpening their knives and tearing other women down for sport. I believe Kelly is basically a nice person who is unfortunately in way over her head with these vicious catty women who, by the way, will never forgive her for being better looking than them. Run away Kelly and don't look back - these women are professional hit women. We all know the type. This blog is crawling with 'em.
After watching Thursday's show, I expected to hear that Bravo had Kelly placed in a psych ward. Evidently not! Kelly needs to be signed into one and placed on proper meds. She has 2 minor children that need protecting. This isn't funny anymore.
Kelly - GO TO SLEEP!!! GO TO SLEEP!!! Or just go away....either one will work!
Bethenny is head mean girl, for the moment.What kind of woman telvises herself peeing on pregnancy stick.She is the truly sick one.
would you have spent one night in the same house as Kelly while she had nightmares about you coming after her with a knife? I wouldn't. I don't know what I would have done, except try to get a physician to help her -- preferably a psychiatrist. If that failed, I'd have left, and been afraid of the next day's headlines.
two words: crystal meth
'May 21, 2010 - 6:35pm antsy Says: You know what's really crazy twitting someone you only know from t.v to tell them their crazy....judgmental much? The only thing I can say is Kelly should not have gone on this trip because she knows how flaky her relationship with those people are.' uh, hey kelly ... lurk much? i bet it's horrible to read all these people commenting upon the absolute wreck you've made of your tv 'persona' and your life in general. such a sad, sad situation (compounded by the fact you're on a gossip mag comment flame war). kudos.
is kelly on meth or adderall or both and schizophrenia, bipolar, what a big ugly mean woman. How dare she say she was being attacked?? She completely ruined the amazing vacation that ramona planned. Kelly and lynne curtain ie. nutjobs, but kelly is more dangerous, she is saying that bethany is trying to murder her which she is going to snap and try to hurt bethany just like she did to her ex boyfriend. Kelly should have been flown back home in a straight jacket and committed.
Look up disorganized schizophrenia by the Mayo Clinic. Nailed on every count. Kelly really needs someone to get her help. Schizophrenic can do tragic things because they think it is being done to them. If she thinks someone is attacking or killing her, she will attack or kill them in self defense. I hope Bravo is getting her help or insisting she get a Dr.s note before she can come back. She couldn't even cook pancakes for her kids. She also made mention that she stayed in her house because she had such fears. All Schizophrenic symptoms. She needs meds now.
Kelly is unbelievable. I don't really think she should be on this show anymore. Can't they find someone else who is not so unstable. The rest of the cast is great, but she is really strange and it's not fun to watch.
CRAZY DOES NOT BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THIS NUT JOB. SHE NEEDS TO HAVE HER KIDS TAKEN AWAY.
If you think Kelly was CRAZY, you should have been there, I was an extra on the trip and it was much worse than you could ever imagin. Kelly was totally out of control and scared the heck out of everyone. Security was placed at everyone's door. The women were scared to death. Watch what happens over the next few wekks. Sad!!!!!!1
Bethenny - smart, witty, funny, built her own brand Kelly - dumb as rocks, only known because of her husband, beat up her boyfriend, insane, no girlfriends... Is this even a contest??? Bethenny hands down winner
I love betheny because she's not a faake phony. She says it like she sees it. She's an excellent chef and she's clever and witty. Kelly is just jealous of her. Betheny has talent, charisma and a man. Kelly has nothing and will be lonely forever.
are there people out there who actually care what these no talent losers do with their life? seriously? these idiots are nobodies.
Bethenny, you are a chef..you went to school to become one. What a ditz of Kelly and her non-logic...logic. She is now the biggest idiot on tv. This is the attitude that comes with privledge and social status that you want so badly. Oh, you also exaggerated your deal in Playboy....and Bobby caught you in his own nice sweet way....
Kelly is the epitome of a person who is on illegal meds or she mixed something in her over-night bag. Kelly, you look the fool with your accusations and then the twist that you didn't say anything "first." You did, and no editing will ever fix what you have done or mix your words for you. You have now shown that Bethenny is the class act that I felt she was all along. She loves to tease but Kelly, you don't get it...you aren't smart enough to "get it." Countless, it is obvious that you have sided yourself with Jill and under the guise of authority, you have stirred her wrong. Jill, wake up. It is clear that you and Bethenny both need to let go at the same time, Bobby is right. Ramona...you are a sweetheart and we love you....Sonja, you are growing on me but do stick up for what is right. I do not think that the editing did anything with this....those words came out of Kelly's mouth, the only way not to get something like that on tv is not to say them...what a witch...even if you are mental..
An avid fan..you bed. I am with the majority that think she is on some sort of drug and I am not sure it's a legal one. She is full of herself, twists converstaions to make it try ot look like Bethenny is crazy (no you are not) and then thinks she has said or done something great. I think this is the dumb wealth thing of entitlement that is so prevalent. I am also hoping that Bethenny and Jill and both come to a compromise...you can see they are both hurt. Jill would have come around sooner except for "her hiness." She has baited the trap to put herself close to Jill and put Bethenny out. Shame on you Countless for that is your title. We can see through you too. Ramona...love you sweety.
The chickens have come home to roost. Nobody has liked Kelly from the beginning because of her bizarre behavior and now it turns out that she is truly crazy and needs a diagnosis (try schizophrenia). It isn't Bravo's fault that she has waited until now to decompensate into a full blown meltdown. She signed a contract with them and she's paid well for her appearance. She's been such a vindictive witch since the very beginning, we've all known she was wacky. Bethenny has been yelling it from the highest rooftop and noone would believe her. I hope Bravo is filming when she's scooped up in the white net and taken to the cookie factory. I also hope that Bravo is filming when it's explained to her that is the legal right and DUTY to have CPS to remove her her children from her custody untill such time as she can show herself to be sane enough to properly care for them. That will be some screaming fits! As for me and my problem, look up Schadenfreude.
