RHONY The 12 Most Outrageous Kelly Bensimon Quotes From Scary Island

The 13th season of Real Housewives of New York City is underway, and Bravo fans around the world are loving the scoop on what’s been going on with the ladies. The RHONY Housewives are particularly known for their over-the-top antics, with too many iconic moments to chronicle.

Arguably the series’ most shocking and iconic moments stem from the season three episode ‘Sun, Sand, and Psychosis,’ known more commonly as ‘Scary Island.’ Previous Housewife Kelly Killoren Bensimon begins to go off the deep end, spiraling into a nervous breakdown while spewing off the most ridiculous quotes imaginable. It’s been 10 years since that iconic St. John’s trip and fans are still talking about it.

Updated on June 26th, 2021, by Lynn Gibbs: In the season 3 episode, ‘Housewives Overboard’ on The Real Housewives of New York City, the ladies go on a trip to St. John’s thanks to Ramona. The first night was rocky but it was the following episode, ‘Sun, Sand, and Psychosis’ (better known as ‘Scary Island’) where things really went south. Due to Kelly Bensimon’s ongoing issues with Bethenny, she began to spiral the longer she spent her time with Bethenny. After an entire day of sun, Kelly stopped making sense and began speaking nonsensical things that had the other Housewives confused and concerned. It’s been 10 years since season 3 premiered and ‘Scary Island’ is still one of those episodes that fans still go back and rewatch.

12 “Does Anyone Want A Jellybean? Or A Lollipop?”

RHONY The 12 Most Outrageous Kelly Bensimon Quotes From Scary Island

After constant nonsense, Sonja made the point that there was something clearly off with Kelly and that she needed to leave the table and get some sleep. There was no more entertaining the scenario.

Kelly then agreed and said she was going to do the mature thing and excuse herself from the table, which she did. The remaining ladies could finally breathe. But as soon as she left, she came right back with a bag of Jellybeans and offered them to the table. After eating a delicious meal prepared by Bethenny, no one knew what was going on with her.

11 “They’re Like A Witch Hunt, It’s Like Fricken Hades In Here.”

Everyone was trying to reason with Kelly but there came a time where everyone had enough. Ramona, Bethenny, and Alex all left to the kitchen to get a new glass of wine and to refresh.



Ramona began giggling hysterically (one that she could never let down) at the oddness of the evening, to which Kelly compared their night to a “witch hunt.” More specifically to one in Hades. Sonja was the only one with Kelly at the time and she had no idea what was happening.

10 “This Is Like White Noise… This Is Like All, You Guys Are Like All White Noise, All White Noise. Ramona? It’s White Noise. You Guys Are White Noise.”

RHONY The 12 Most Outrageous Kelly Bensimon Quotes From Scary Island

The theory that Kelly could have been under the influence of drugs seems to be more and more plausible with each ridiculous quote mentioned throughout this list. It’s unknown if Kelly was taking something illegal or not but that’s how the ladies made sense of it all.

This quote, mentioning the white noise, makes Kelly sound like she’s almost admitting to being delusional and not of a sound mind. Did Kelly Bensimon have a mental breakdown, or did she experience a psychosis? At this point, production should have stepped in.

9 “Nobody Cares About You Bethenny! You’re Vindictive And Malicious And Cunning And Deceitful And It’s Creepy! That’s Why I Get Creeped Out By You!”

RHONY The 12 Most Outrageous Kelly Bensimon Quotes From Scary Island

Surprisingly, this quote comes at the beginning of Kelly’s downward spiral, the night before the infamous dinner where Bethenny cooks steaks. While Ramona is flirting it up on another yacht, Sonja, Kelly, and Bethenny have an interesting discussion that turns heated. “Nobody cares about you Bethenny! You’re vindictive and malicious and cunning and deceitful and it’s creepy! That’s why I get creeped out by you!”

After that attack, Kelly just keeps insulting Bethenny: “I’m sorry, I’m not a hoe-bag like Bethenny, I don’t sleep with everyone who walks around.” Bethenny and Sonja depart from the crazy to join the other women, only to be followed by Kelly.


8 “And You Want Me To Sit Here With Her? ‘Cause She Calls You A Freaking Hooker?”

Once Bethenny, Alex, and Ramona leave the table for a sanity break, Sonja tries to reason with Kelly, wondering if she knows how unhinged she’s coming off. Out of nowhere (once more), Kelly jabbers: “and you want me to sit here with her? ‘Cause she calls you a freaking hooker?”

Kelly continues to butcher the English language, stringing sentences together that make no sense. Bethenny jokingly called Sonja a hooker the night prior, which Sonja didn’t think twice about, but Kelly was clearly taking obsessive notes in her booklet of “How To Bring Down Bethenny.”

7 “I Was Like ‘Holy Sugar!’ She Was Like, Channeling, Like– I Don’t Know. Like A Vampire.”

RHONY The 12 Most Outrageous Kelly Bensimon Quotes From Scary Island

After Alex admits that Kelly goes a little unbalanced and can be on the attack, Kelly says she “turns into these people.” She goes on a tirade about Ramona’s True Renewal party, saying Alex showed up to deliver a message in ”crazy black and white eye makeup.” Considering Alex and Ramona are OGs of the series, they didn’t deserve this treatment.

”She was in kabuki! Well, you were, cause you wore, like, white face and black eyes.” Facetiously, Bethenny mentions that Alex must’ve gone in costume, and Kelly continues: “I was like ‘holy sugar!’ she was like, channeling, like– I don’t know. Like a vampire.”

6 “You’re Not A Chef, You’re A Cook. It’s Creepy.”

RHONY The 12 Most Outrageous Kelly Bensimon Quotes From Scary Island

The night prior, Kelly throws out, “You’re not a chef, you’re a cook. It’s creepy,” once again calling Bethenny creepy. “I didn’t go to culinary school?” Bethenny immediately retorts. “I don’t know what you did, and I don’t really care,” Kelly blatantly contradicts herself. “I went to culinary school, you moron!” Bethenny slams in her face, completely shutting down the cook vs. chef argument. Of course, Kelly continues, throwing in, “Really, with who? Alain Ducasse? Who? Nobody cares!” Kelly missed the memo about going up against Bethenny, and how slim a person’s chances of coming out on top will be.

Bethenny continues to rip into Kelly, eviscerating her by saying: “you speak and you don’t know what you’re saying– you’re the most unintelligent human being I’ve ever had the pleasure to be around.”

5 “Are You Guys Going To Make Out With The Tongue?”

RHONY The 12 Most Outrageous Kelly Bensimon Quotes From Scary Island

During a moment where Ramona actually shows some vulnerability, she brings up the incident where she insulted Bethenny on the Brooklyn Bridge and decides to apologize. Fans know how close of friends Ramona and Sonja are, so it was nice seeing her treat Bethenny similarly. “Are you going to sit on her lap?” Kelly provokes Ramona, whose intimate moment was completely ruined. “Are you guys having a moment? Are you going to make out with the tongue?” Ramona and Bethenny give Kelly this look of confusion, wondering what her MO could be.

“You need a freaking time out!” Ramona retorts, and Kelly responds with an astounding: “I don’t want a time out, I want you to zip it!” Once Ramona and Bethenny walk away, Bethenny hilariously throws in, “finally everyone’s turned the same channel on. Just say to me– I’ve always been right about everything I’ve said.”

4 “I Was Having Nightmares. I Have Been, I Threw Up. But I Was– I Threw Up The Night Before I Came, Thinking That Bethenny Was Gonna Freakin’ Kill Me, ‘Cause She’s Tried To Kill Me So Many Times Before”

RHONY The 12 Most Outrageous Kelly Bensimon Quotes From Scary Island

This quote is quite possibly the most disturbing of the bunch. Alex McCord tries to level with Kelly, explaining why she was uncomfortable modeling for her earlier that day at the beach. “You scare me,” Alex admits. Kelly makes light of it at first, and then throws in: “Alex is having nightmares about me while I’m having nightmares about Bethenny killing me.” Bethenny has done a lot of things that fans supported and didn’t support, but “killing” Kelly was a shock.

Puzzled beyond belief, Alex asks, “when has Bethenny tried to kill you?” Then Kelly responds with, “I was having nightmares. I have been, I threw up. But I was– I threw up the night before I came, thinking that Bethenny was gonna freakin’ kill me, ’cause she’s tried to kill me so many times before.”

3 “You– Your Dad Passed Away And You’re Like, Here… It’s Creepy. It’s Freaking Creepy.”

RHONY The 12 Most Outrageous Kelly Bensimon Quotes From Scary Island

Now this one crossed a line. Coming off the heels of her estranged father’s passing (all while being pregnant, sober, and cooking the ladies’s dinner), Bethenny had every right to be celebrating in St. John with her friends, regardless of her relationship with her father or how soon he just died.

Several times Kelly calls Bethenny or what she does “creepy,” which is out of line on multiple levels.

2 “Oh My God! Al Sharpton! Al Sharpton! No, Put Your Hair Up, It’s Al Sharpton!”

RHONY The 12 Most Outrageous Kelly Bensimon Quotes From Scary Island

This quote from ‘Scary Island’ is undoubtedly the most well-known GIF of Kelly Bensimon out there. It’s one of the moments why Kelly can be one of the most loved and hated Housewives.

After Bethenny does an impression from A Few Good Men, saying, “you can’t handle the truth,” Kelly immediately blurts out, “Oh my god, Al Sharpton!” Bethenny and company look to Kelly in bewilderment, though this is probably one of her more cohesive lines of the night.

1 “What About When You Attacked Gweneth, My Friend Gweneth? Paltrow? And What About Rachel?”

Just when viewers think this couldn’t get any more strange, things take a left turn once again with unexpected results. As Bethenny and Kelly go at it, Kelly interrupts her thought with: “what about when you attacked Gweneth, my friend Gweneth?” Bethenny confusingly asks, “Who’s Gweneth?” Without skipping a beat, Kelly jabs back: “Paltrow? And what about Rachel?”

At this point, the ladies realize things are more serious than they originally anticipated, and they could have a serious problem on their hands.
