Kelly Killoren Bensimon is one of the reality “stars” of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York City. Kelly is a model and single mother of two beautiful children. Although everyone outside the show says that Kelly is stable and very nice in her life outside of the show, on the show it’s a different story. Kelly has shown erratic behavior on the show, such as jogging in traffic, arguing with the other women, making hypocritical statements and just plain ol’ not making any sense.
Like most of the NYC housewives, Kelly loves the gays. Out is featuring Kelly in part because of her part in the Pride parade this year, when she rode the float to promote awareness of the Gay Men’s Health Crisis. Kelly has this to say about the parade:
I did. Yeah it was an incredible honor. I mean to be invited by GMHC to be on their float for the gay pride is up there in terms of one of the biggest honors for me. I have an initiative, which is safe sex. I have a twelve-year-old daughter and, you know, basically she has been learning all about sex in school and so — not that I am encouraging her to have sex — but I am encouraging her when she does have sex to think and to be smart about the choices that she is going to make. So then speaking with GMHC about safe sex and also just about bullying, I learned so much about how alternative lifestyles get bullied so much and I was really disturbed by that to be honest with you because I have been a model for a long time and I have had so much respect for people that have alternative lifestyles. I mean it’s just the they want to live and I don’t have any problem with that. I think that’s great. I want people to celebrate themselves.
Kelly is doing some really good work for the LGBT community, but she also thinks our acronym sounds like a tasty bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. Yes, you read that right.
And you were just recently at The Mohegan Sun Casino – what was that about?
I was at Mohegan Sun for the opening of their Mohegan Sun Days event, it’s their [monthly] GL — GLBT night. I always think that sounds like BLT. It was just a really, really fun group of people. Everyone was just having good clean fun… dancing like crazy. I was dancing with everybody and it was just a lot of fun to be in an environment like that where everyone was having a blast and no one was like trying to be too cool for school.
Kelly’s heart is in the right place. A delicious, smoked pork kind of place.
The rest of the interview is incredibly boring, but if you simply must read the whole thing, check it out HERE.
