Why Kelly Bensimon Thinks Bethenny Moving to Florida Was 'Really, Really Smart'

Transcript

00:00Bethany is also moving to Florida. What was kind of your reaction to that? You know, we got some

00:04big moves happening, especially with you too. I think that, you know, moving to Florida is

00:09always a good idea when you're at that second stage of your life. I mean, you know, it's a

00:14homestead state, so it's really good to protect your finances. So that was a really, really smart

00:19move for her. And just to like, you know, relax and just like kind of like just take the, you

00:25know, these next, you know, whatever it is, 30 years and just really for her to really,

00:29really enjoy. I think that's a great idea for her. Kelly, are you still emailing Andy about

00:33who should be on next season of Roni? I love it. Like it's emailing, like it's a constant

00:38thing. In fact, you know, it's funny because I've only emailed Andy about his kids saying

00:45how cute they are. And I sent his little daughter, Lucy, this big, massive teddy bear. And then,

00:51you know, after the, after, you know, Roni came out and I love Jenna and I love Uba and

00:56I've known Jenna literally for a long, long, long time. And I just was, you know, it was,

01:03I think it was hard for, it's not a disservice to them. It was just hard because they didn't

01:08have a castmate to like bring them along. And I think it was hard for them. And also one

01:15thing that, you know, is like a, is a Bravo no, no in my book is, you know, you're this branding

01:21like there is no branding. You're supposed to be, you know, I want to know what you're

01:25thinking about your friendship, the, the, you know, the push, the pull, how you interact,

01:32how you intersect. That's what housewives is about. And it's about, you know, how these

01:38different women intersect. It's not about their personal brands. I don't even know what their

01:43brands are. I've never even heard of their brands before. So that was kind of like, what?

01:47And I'm not a big, like, I'm not a big proponent as everyone knows of, you know, self-promotion

01:56on TV. I feel like you should just really, you know, really be in the moment and having

02:04these, you know, strong human relations. And then if, you know, if people pick up on it and

02:09they want to, you know, promote you, that's great. But I'm not a big proponent of, you know,

02:14of, of, of brand promotion, um, on reality. I think it's just super disingenuous.

02:19Yeah. You know, they are recasting. Would you ever do it again? Have there been any

02:23conversations?

02:24And they gave Andy a great list of people. And he was like, some of the people said, no,

02:27I said, actually, you're wrong. They said, yes. Um, they said they would do it with me.

02:31Um, I was like, so you're wrong. But, um, you know, I think that, I mean, I definitely would

02:37go back on if it were like, you know, people that were interested in just really, you know,

02:44showing off New York and their New York lifestyles and being open to, you know, showing, you know,

02:50talking about their flaws and exploring new ways to be better. You know, that's what I'm really,

02:57really interested in. Um, and to argue a little bit and to like, you know, the little cat fight.
