Kelly Killoren Bensimon, the unmarried “housewife” who was added to this season’s cast of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” has continued her assault on castmate Bethenny Frankel, who is also unmarried, in case you were wondering if the name of the show is in any way accurate.

Bensimon, who last month was arrested for assaulting her boyfriend, opened up to Harper’s Bazaar, where she smoothed over some of her perceived rough edges.  Nah just kidding.  She was a total bitch.

On her response to costar, Bethenny Frankel calling her “inauthentic”:
“Is Bethenny a socialite? No. Will she ever sit next to Lauren duPont? No. Is she best friends with Aerin Lauder? No. Am I? No. Do I care? No. Does she? Oh, absolutely. She’s not authentic. All she does is sit there and cry all the time. I’m like, you’re crying about guys? And shut up. Honestly, if being inauthentic means graduating from Columbia University, writing three books, starting two magazines, bearing two children, being the ambassador for wool, running a marathon for charity — if that’s inauthentic? Tell me what authentic is.”

On why she agreed to “Real Housewives of New York”:
“I wanted to put my name up there. I was like, it’s not enough for New York to know me. I wanted the rest of America to know me. I have a great life. I have a lot of fun.”

Wow, what an amazing person.  And to think I wouldn’t have known how great she is if she hadn’t told me.  That was so nice of her.  We should really do something for her in return.  Like bury her in wet cement and drop her into the East River.

Luann de Lesseps, the aging former model who mentions that she’s a countess every 45 seconds on “The Real Housewives, Divorcées, and Aging Single Women of New York City,” is getting divorced from her husband the Count de Lesseps, who lives in Europe to minimize the number of times he has to hear her mention that she’s a countess.

A close pal said, “…She got wind he was seeing somebody and he didn’t answer her when she called. He finally sent her an e-mail saying he was with an Ethiopian woman in Geneva and he was serious with her.”[...]

“Luann was blindsided. She was just devastated,” the close friend told Page Six. “They have basically lived apart for many years — he lives in Europe and comes and goes as he pleases, but she never thought this would happen…

Yes, it’s inconceivable the way that wealthy titled man who lives a continent away would have an extramarital affair.

Luann — whose book, “Class With the Countess,” comes out next month — has told friends that, no matter what, “I will always be the countess.”

And all of us, no matter what, will continue to think she’s a bitch.  Listen, lady, this is America.  This country was built on hating douchebags with titles.

Kelly Killoren Bensimon, the 40-year-old “housewife” (she’s divorced and remains unmarried) added to this season’s “Real Housewives of New York City,” was arrested last week for punching her boyfriend, 30-year-old Nicholas Stefanov.

Bensimon… hit him “with a closed fist, thereby causing informant to suffer a laceration below informant’s left eye and substantial pain,” the criminal complaint he filed with police charges…

In an exclusive interview, Stefanov said he still loves Bensimon, but blamed stress from their recent engagement and the pressure of being on the show for causing her to snap.

Killoren Bensimon’s lawyer denies all of the allegations, and that’s good, because domestic abuse is a serious issue not to be taken lightly.  Unless it’s the man who’s getting battered, in which case full speed ahead!  You mess with a cougar, you gonna get the CLAWS, baby!  RAWR!!!

It’s definitely a good idea when you meet a blind person to say, “Hey, so are you really blind?” You should even wave your hand in front of their face or act like you’re gonna punch ‘em just to be sure. Then you should be like, “Man, let me tell you, you think YOU’RE blind? I can BARELY see. Like, it’s illegal for me to drive without my glasses. I feel so helpless sometimes.”

And you should do the same thing across the spectrum of disabilities. “Lost your legs in Iraq, huh? you think that’s bad, I broke my ankle last year. Brutal. I was on crutches for, like, six weeks.”
