Kelly Bensimon Loses Modeling Gig (AGE CORRECTION)

So you know Kelly Bensimon of Real Housewives of New York? Apparently she’s got troubles.

Kelly BensimonGawker says that The New York Post wrote that she had been dropped as the face of Saks catalog. This after she was accused of beating up her boyfriend.

Now, as men, we need to mention something. This woman is supposed to be 54. She looks damn good for 54. She’d look good for 40. If work has been done (and I’m sure there’s been some) it was done well. She doesn’t look pulled back at all, at least not in the photos we’ve seen. (Although the snaps on her Facebook page are suspiciously tiny. Maybe that’s on purpose.) So let’s give her props for being, you know, attractive. Physically. (CORRECTION: She’s 41. Thank you to Rachel for pointing this out without calling me an idiot. Still, she’s got some body. Look at those abs. The skin seems a little odd, though.)

Emotionally, she appears to be made for reality TV. See, I was going to say that I wondered why people whose behavior shouldn’t be seen on camera choose to be on these shows. But the same *whatever* that makes them kooky is also what causes them to make poor choices. Like to display themselves on reality shows.

Other than blatant fame seeking, why would a beautiful woman with a good modeling career and a pile of cash from an ex-husband want to go on TV and risk looking like a maniac? In Bensimon’s case, she has a kid, who is also on the Bravo series. (This despite the fact that she is a self-described ‘private person.‘) Why put your children through this bullshit?

I’m getting bored writing about this, I have to admit. But somebody must watch this gargabe, since there seem to be new reality shows every other day.

    well, “idiot” seems a little strong, but thanks for the correction. I read that she was 54. From Gawker:
    “The New York Post reports that Bensimon, 54 (give or take a few years)”

    Where does it say that she’s 41?

    Not that IMDb is the source of all sources, but it says she was born in ’68, which sounds a little bit more believable to me than Kelly being 54. Now the question is, “Where on earth did Gawker com up with 54?”

    I’m reading the Gawker article, and it seems like the “54, give or take” is sarcasm. Don’t believe everything you read.

    Me again… (Sorry) Wiki also says she was born in ’68.

    Point taken. 54 did seem a bit on the old side. Thanks for the (polite) corrections.

    Every single post was about her age. Not one post on anything else in his article? Christ we really are age obsessed aren’t we?? Much more so with women I’m afraid. She looks good for any age. But more importantly, she’s weird… and it is weird that she claims she is so very PRIVATE, yet wears bunny costumes and bathing suits on the show… or that she’s on the show at all.
    Not that I’ve seen every episode, or even want to, but the ladies all seem so insecure and egotistical and critical at the same time. What a talent.

    I watched one episode on pay per view tv yesterday and she came across as an unhinged nut case – sweet as pie one minute and fang bearing psychotic the next. And yes, full of contradictions.

    She has two daughters by the way so her age combined with her childbearing combined with her fake tan or sun bed useage would explain the ‘odd looking’ skin on her stomach.

    Kelly is a insecure nutcase. She can dish out BS and negative comments, but if you call her out on her FB page she will threaten you will law suits and delete you. She is a moron..your right though one minute she claims to be “a private person” and the next she is a scene whore to point that she makes no sense and will say or do anything for attention..

    Im surprised Kat said that first comment that “nobodys surgery is that good” because I think she looks HORRIBLE. Im sorry but 50 is the new 40 and 40 is the new 30 and regardless of her age she looks like sh!t. It has nothing to do with her size, its the shape. I thinks she got some horrible lipo or something. Her skin also looks horrible.

    Or, maybe its just the fact that she is a complete idot. I have girlfriends in their 50s and they all look so much better than her. Im sorry but she just looks kind of old and weathered.

    Kelly is dumb and “like, zip it, Disney land, cartwheel,1979, feelings”
    get a grip on yourself, if you are so “midwest?,modest?” why is it every time when you see a man, you go Hiiiiiiiiii like you were going to bed with them, and look at your body posture message, using that stupid gooogooo eye, the way you dress and playboy is so not modest, stop calling other people Ho’s, you are, you just don’t know it!
    Did you ever finish high school any Kelly!

    Are you serious? She shouldn’t be allowed to be a model if she ain’t got abs! That is just some extra body fat! I bet if she worked out that she would look a hell of a lot sexier!
