Not trying to excuse her behavior, Prisoner, just trying to make sense of it. But it may be another one of those things I'll never know.

Missy good post - thanks for bringing over the blog.

I did think Alex at one point looked so very drained... and I do think Bethenny did try and difuse the situation over and over again. I do like Bethenny, but to not know the difference between a cook and a chef? There is a debate? I know Rachel Ray stands up and says she is no chef (almost the same statements Bethenny made actually) and those that have chef status are trained, gone to a CIA school, graduated as a chef... it actually surprised me to find out Duff (Ace of Cakes) was a trained chef!!

and also, if there is more "scary" footage of that night - how can Bravo not air it online? I would say that would get good ratings, I know they pair things down for the show - to keep with their storyline... but Andy keeps hinting at the reunion show...

and I like how he kept pressing SJP for an opinion... and I love how diplomatic Sara was...

More interesting stuff from the Bravo preview videos:

Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler
In one, Kelly is back in NYC and having lunch with Jill, LuAnn, and Jen. She tries to tell them what went on in the USVI, but doesn't really make sense. She tells them about calling Bethenny a ho-bag, but said Bethenny told her to she needed to have a one night stand (I thought that was Sonja. She brought up the cook/chef thing, and both LuAnn and Jen said they knew Bethenny as a chef before the show. IMO, none of them look like they are buying Kelly's story, and LuAnn even says she needs to hear the other side. The other two videos are after Kelly left, and all about the girls having fun...and talking about penis size and bondage. :-)

I don't watch this show normally, but I had to tune into a couple episodes because this thread was active and I had to see this Kelly character.

I wanted to say when Kelly is at her worst, she acts just like someone I used to know who smoked crack and drank at the same time. I mean it's uncanny and disturbing. I suppose it doesn't have to be smoking crack, it could be other forms of an upper.

Is she ever just totally out of commission for a couple days now and then where she doesn't even want to get out of bed or no one can find her?

On twitter a while back, someone asked Simon about possible drug use by Kelly. He said he had never seen any evidence of it. I'm pretty sure Simon would have said something like, "That would explain her behavior, wouldn't it?" if there was anything to back it up.

Another blogger, LynnNChicago, makes an interesting point. All of this happened months ago, but Kelly still has custody of her girls, no one called social services on her, and we've seen her out and about and in the news ever since.

Her ex may not have been aware of the extent of her crazy - or,he may not care enough to compromise his lifestyle by dragging kids along.

LOL!

You know, someone can be irrational without being mentally ill. Kelly is clearly irrational when it comes to Bethenny. She just doesn't think clearly about anything concerning Bethenny, and no amount of logical discussion can change that. She is convinced, for whatever reason, that Bethenny was out to get her. That doesn't make her mentally ill or on drugs. She just hates Bethenny, and doesn't get why everyone else doesn't.

But people can be irrational and still form complete and coherent sentences. Kelly can't.

In the above spoiler of Kelly talking with Luann, Jill and Jen she claims that Bethenny told her she was going to smear her name in the press. That's a lie. Her version of the argument and what Bethenny said on tv is very different than what she tells these women. I'm sure there is conversation we didn't see but the arguments as she describes them that we the viewers saw are starkly different. I still think she's schizophrenic, paranoid and delusional or a complete psychopathic liar. Either way she needs some help and I hope she gets it.

I just think she is acts nuts and the root cause doesn't matter to me. If she's doing meth or just mentally unstable. I think Bravo has a lot of culpability. God forbid Kelly hurts herself or someone else tptb at Bravo will have blood on their hands. Shame on them.

ITA about Bravo Lil. Many of us were twittering that same thought last night. It was a disturbing hour of tv and left me feeling very sad.

She's 42 years old, well past the typical onset age for schizophrenia. I find it very hard to believe that she could go undiagnosed until now, particularly raising two girls on her own and being in the public eye as she is.

She has Youtubes under Plum TV, in which she is quite coherent -- goofy and flaky, but coherent. She becomes incoherent when she talks about Bethenny.

The simplest answer is usually correct. She hates Bethenny. She hates her so much, that she just doesn't think straight about her. I've known perfectly sane people who have behaved that irrationally towards one person against whom they have taken a bizarre disliking. That doesn't make them mentally ill, it doesn't make them drug addicts, it just makes them human.

I still say she's really stupid, though. (And the sugar rush from the jelly beans probably didn't help matters.)

Tero, that article you posted regarding Kelly was great - absolutely spot on!!! A lot of the comments were very interesting from health care professionals and/or people who have dealt with people who are bipolar or have Paranoid Personality Disorder.

I forgot about the "zip it... zip it..." So off the hook. I may have to go back and rewatch the dinner party (as painful as it may be).

Any "licensed mental health professional" who tries to diagnose someone based on a few minutes of edited footage, doesn't deserve to be listened to.

I think you could be blind and hungover and accurately diagnose Kelly as unstable. There is something not right about her behavior. If she's a meth user or if she has a mental illness, either way someone that loves her needs to get her into treatment. Doesn't she have real non TV friends or family that care about her.

... and from reading the Bravo blogs, it sounds like it was much worse than was shown on TV.

Alex and Simon are doing another interview with RealFansClub online. If you want to hear it RealFansClub on twitter has the link I can't post it here for some reason.
