Last week, Huffington Post asked Kelly Bensimon to participate in one of their new features (that they copied from OK! Magazine): “What I Ate Today”. I rarely read those things, because inevitably HuffPo or OK! Magazine chooses someone you know is totally delusional about body image and health and diet, and you know that person is just going to lie anyway, because no one wants to put down “two lines of blow, five cigarettes and a Tic Tac” for their diet.
Anyway, Kelly didn’t hold back or dial down her crazy for the piece. She even has a video where you can watch her describe her very, very light meals – that she eats six days a week and then, much like God, she rests on the seventh day and eats some chicken wings.
Two things – according to the tabloids, Kelly drinks morning, noon and night, which I kind of believe. One tabloid had her chugging tequila for her breakfast. Second: This is Kelly’s body in a bikini. This tells me that her six-day brown-rice-and-tequila diet isn’t about health. She thinks she looks good, and that her figure is something that should be maintained. Yikes.
These photos are of Kelly out and about in NYC yesterday, looking totally jacked.
And here’s what Kelly looks like in a bikini:

That bikini pic is not flattering, at all.
I wonder how much osteoporosis all these crazed skinny cows are going to develop, only because they want to fit into some child sized outfit.
Ewwwwwwwww…
She defines “hot mess.”
She is such a nutcase.
woo wee…bringin the crazy in every pic.
she is hella ugly. how do these people get rich and famous and live these luxe lives? oh right, because MORONS watch their stupid TV shows.
get that lady a burger, stat. and some sunscreen, yikes.
She doesn’t eat enough with her testosterone injections, you mean?
If she didn’t have those oranges glued on her chest and you covered up her head, that would totally look like a man’s body.
Wear SUNBLOCK! She looks like a dry walking saddlebag.
Is it just me or does she look like she could be Hagrid’s twin sister (Harry Potter) in the picture of her in the white dress?
Snowball – is testosterone injections something women really do? Or was that a joke that went over my head?
I noticed that in People magazine they ALWAYS have to refer to her by her full name (something like Kelly Killoran Bensimon). It is actually comical when you keep reading it over and over again. Anybody know what that’s all about?
This chick is off her trolley if she thinks she looks good.
I have seen more meat on a Butchers pencil!
This is one ugly body to be a female! UCK!
“Looking totally jacked”
That is the PERFECT description. Perfect.
Considering she works out everyday, that is definitely not enough food.
Gristle & Bone.
When, oh when, will these women learn that 0 fat does not = good figure? Perhaps when they also accept that just because you can (wear a tiny bikini, drink all day, whatever) doesn’t mean you SHOULD.
seems like these ladies confuse tanning with eating.
She could be pretty in the face, but she JUST isn’t. I can’t explain why, but she is just so incredibly janky.
And that is a liposuctioned tummy if I ever saw one. The skin looks so unnaturally pulled….:::Shiver:::
If the eating disorder doesnt kill her, the skin cancer eventually will. Why people bake their skin til it’s crispy, *coughdonnatellaversacecough* is beyond me.
“two lines of blow, five cigarettes and a Tic Tac” LOL Kaiser! The Breakfast of Champions!
@Belle Epoch:
Side Effects of testosterone therapy can include facial hair, increased masculinity of face, voice alteration/deepening and an enlarged clitoris.
Yes, it’s something women do, generally for menopause, but occasionally because of other hormonal imbalances.
My feeble attempt at a joke regarding the lack of femininity remaining in her overly dieted, leathery, rectangular, surgically enhanced and detracted from body.
wow, this is hilarious. both the op (looking totally jacked lol!!!) and the narcisisstic video. i think she sees this turning into some kind of routine cooking spot for herself….
I had no idea eating a big dinner made people fat and have nightmares. I guess I should start her diet:
breakfast: orange and coffee
lunch: rice and veggies
dinner: salad
If eating more than 500 cal a day makes you fat, call me a heifer!
The bikini picture…those are some wonky placed nipples…wtf??
she looks like the beef jerky chewy toy my dogs play with.
My God you guys are so harsh. Personally, I think Steven Tyler looks great in these pictures, even more manly than usual… if you ask me.
ew!! she is FUGGGGGGGGGGGG. And the sad thing is, she probably actually COULD look really good, if she was healthy, put on some screen, etc.
I feel bad for her kids because sh eis not sane. Whather she is an alcoholic, pop pills or is just insane she needs help.
Sounds like Kelly’s “really really” busy.
Wonder if she ever makes time for her daughters, who she said at the reunion show were (you guessed it) “really really” the most important part of her life.
yup.
haaa, haaaaa … TaylorB! That is awesome!!! Love that comment. Right on.
She looks like a nutter.
The question was asked is Kelli Bensimon ‘crazy’ because she doesn’t eat enough…in a word? YES. Her ‘diet’ doesn’t contain enough fat or protein to feed her brain…to work properly (which includes things like processing and controlling your emotions) your brain needs fat and protein or you can start behaving a bit erratically…to say nothing of what that kind of diet does long term to your body.
Personal story: When I was on WW in 2008 and got to about 18 points a day I started to feel really terrible. Dizzy, headachey, GROUCHY. And I felt badly because I knew other women who were on less points per day and ‘powered through it every day’ (their words). It was my new husband (we’d just got married) who took a look at what I was eating on the WW sheets they provide and asked me to please give it up and eat more. After another week or two I did. Not bloody worth it. Now I pretend buses don’t exist and walk to work from the train station three days a week (80 min a day of brisk walking) and try not to eat too much crap. I’m much happier, I feel much better and so do my husband and kids. Am I skinny? Nope (size 16), but I look good and I feel good. And THAT is what its all about…
She’s so bony and yet very wide in the waist. Makes her look totally like a dude.
Would you care for a little lithium with your tofu, Ms. Bensimon?
@meme
Are you from NorCal? Love the use of “hella”
does anyone know how old she is?
Once again, she is right smack in the middle of the street. While you get less attention when walking on the sidewalk, my question is, when is she going to get ran over?
Why isn’t child protective services ivestigating her. Can you be for real crazy and be in charge of minors. Someone call DCFS on this chick. If I was the father the girls would be gone so fast her head would spin.
Soy milk, tofu, and vitamin water aren’t health food.
THE most unattractive body on a woman I have ever seen.
Gristle…stringy tendons and gristle clinging to bone. NASTY!
I wish the bikini photo came with a warning because I almost lost my lunch….that is one unflattering body!
It’s not that I don’t like her, but it seems her craziness has grown exponentially in recent years, evidenced by the most recent episodes of Real Housewives. Sometimes I *have* thought she was pretty/looked pretty, and I think she probably is/was once naturally pretty. But whatever issues exist in her psyche, her eating habits, her tanning, they’ve aged her horribly and it’s sad. It just looks like too much, too fake, too unnatural. I do feel badly that her daughters will undoubtedly come away from their upbringing with some major self-esteem issues surrounding their womanhood especially. I hope I’m wrong. I do hope I’m wrong. But . . . what are the odds? Stacked against them, seems like. Why do I still watch these shows?
She is a tall woman and that is all she eats? Her bones must be brittle as toothpicks. I doubt she eats the mimimium 1200 calories per day. I believe this could seriously be affecting her moods and makes sense why she acts the ways she does. I also wonder if she is on drugs of any kind like Adderall.
It looks like a man not a female.
I think she can be very pretty on the tv show and some pics.
However, I think her diet consists of METH, METH & MORE METH!!!
On the show – which I am pathetically addicted to – one of the other housewives – or to use her term “ho bags” – says she smells cat urine around Kelly. I was totally confused because they were on a boat and there were no cats. I later learned that this is a smell associated with meth users.
Many familiar with meth keep saying that her behavior appears meth related.
Damn. She’s like something out of The Road (post-nuclear holocaust novel)with her clothes off but manages to look “bulky” and “mannish” –even kinda beefy/chunky with clothes on. Hot? No. Mess? Hoayeah. & I have no idea who this is.
Somebody make her an omelette.
Looking at her body and face, how brittle her hair looks, how dull her eyes are, how unnatural her body looks…she definitely looks like other anorexic women I have seen.
I wouldn’t be surprised if her time on TV has exacerbated her eating disorders and caused her to eat less and drink more.
She also looks like a smoker. (Tough, leathery skin.)
She looks a solid 10 years older than Bethenny but aren’t they about the same age??? Sunscreen is your friend, Leatherface.
Yikes, what a pooch
Who is she anyhow?
she has the same forehead vien as that other mentally unstable bony celeb, I am staying away from people with massive forehead viens I think it is a sign of mental instability.
“…because no one wants to put down “two lines of blow, five cigarettes and a Tic Tac” for their diet.”
I literally LOL’d. It’s funny cause it’s true, you know?
Her torso looks like a mans its actually scary looking. why dosn’t she cover up. someone needs to say something to her.
Kelly is 42 years old and acts like a 14 year old. Disturbing and scary for her daughters.
Also, getting kind of a Grey Gardens vibe from that top photo.
She has no use as a person, Her advice and jabs show just shows she doesn’t have any fashion sense or any advice she gives is lululu
This product does what it says it will. Just germane (to) any congregation pill you at rest have to eat hearty and occupation off! Just stick with it
I enjoyed reading this, and I’m looking forward to your next piece of work. You think I took a snippet from your post for my blog?
