Kelly Bensimon Compared Bethenny Frankel To Lyme Disease – “You Can’t Get Rid Of It”

Former Real Housewives of New York star, Kelly Bensimon shamed Bethenny’s dating history, said her current boyfriend is thirsty for fame, and compared her to Lyme Disease in one fell swoop.

It’s About (A Different) Tom:

In an interview with US Weekly, Kelly dragged her former RHONY co-star for excessively dating and called out Tom Villante for only dating the BStrong founder for publicity. “Isn’t that hilarious? This guy’s a Housewives fanatic. He’s basically a fame wh*re.”

Kelly continued on about B’s new boyfriend. “Only if you’re famous does he want to go out with you. Go forth and prosper, but not on my watch.”

“One thing that I’m happy about is that Bethenny is dating him because since I’ve been single, I’ve gone on a lot of dates, and, literally, 99.9 percent of single men in the universe she’s dated.”

The infamous Scary Island star added, Bethenny “was in my professional life and now she’s in my personal life.”

“I can’t get away from her. She’s, like, Lyme disease. You just can’t get rid of it.”

Another Tom getting passed between the RHONY legacy cast:

Kelly explained how her daughter was working from her home when she decided to get her mom on the exclusive ‘celebrity’ dating app.

“I see this one guy, and I was like, ‘Oh, he’s kinda cute!’ He lives in California, and I was like, ‘Wow, what is he doing here?’”

“He’s like, ‘Let’s talk. … Let’s meet.’” According to the RHONY alum, she and Tom Villante were “texting” quite a bit. He apparently kept asking her to meet up, but her busy schedule prevented a proper date.

Kelly detailed that she and Tom returned to the city after spending Labor Day weekend in the Hamptons *separately* and that’s when she saw that Bethenny was dating the same Tom in the news. “It says Bethenny Frankel is dating this guy!”
