The Real Housewives of New York star Kelly Bensimon is featured in the September 2011 issue of Shape Magazine.
In the issue Kelly clears up some rumors:
Real Housewives Rumor #1: Kelly Bensimon has a screw loose
There’s no denying that the second and third seasons of RHONYC featured Kelly, 43, at her erratic best. After the cast trip to St. John’s, where Kelly had her now-infamous meltdown, “people called me crazy,” she admits. “But what they saw was me reacting—in an honest way— to a situation that wasn’t honest. Then everyone ganged up on me. So of course I looked crazy!” Because of the public’s response Kelly came thisclose to quitting last year. “I promised myself I’d never be in that position again,” she says. “I’d rather be home with my kids than out arguing with other people.”
Real Housewives Rumor #2: Kelly Bensimon is a snob
In the throes of a showdown with former Housewife Bethenny Frankel at New York City’s Brass Monkey more than two years ago, Kelly burst out, “I’m up here, and you’re down here. People really thought I believed I was better than her, which is ridiculous.” After Bethenny left the series, Kelly says she offered to meet for coffee and a talk. “She wrote back saying she’d moved on from it all,” says Kelly. “That really upset me. She created all of this chaos, and then she moved on?”
Real Housewives Rumor #3: Kelly Bensimon is on drugs
“Everyone always asks me why I wasn’t on the cocaine and vodka diet when I was a model. I was going to college and couldn’t be bombed out of my mind.” These days, her fitness philosophy hasn’t changed. “My body is like a Ferrari,” says Kelly. “I know what it needs to run well—and that doesn’t include drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes.”
Real Housewives Rumor #4: Kelly Bensimon is less than brilliant
“I find it hilarious when someone says I’m not smart,” says Kelly, who has a degree in literature and creative writing from Columbia University. “I’ve written three books, including American Style, a review of U.S. fashion, which is a textbook in some schools.”
