THE second season of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New York City." ended not a moment too soon for Kelly Bensimon.
We hear the model, 41, who was excoriated by her fellow housewives for being shallow and self-important during the show's wrap-up chat session on Thursday, has been telling friends she regrets she signed aboard in the first place. "She realizes it was a mistake," a friend of Bensimon tells Page Six. "It has ruined her socially. She knows how bad she came off."
Bensimon isn't the only cast member who ended the season at odd ends with the other women. Earlier in the week, Ramona Singer angered Bethenny Frankel by saying Frankel was still single at 37 because "she doesn't know how to date men who are proper marriage material." Bethenny was a no-show at the American Image Awards at the Grand Hyatt, where both Alex McCord and Luann De Lesseps showed up. (Still, McCord, who brought husband Simon van Kempen, left before de Lesseps even arrived.)
"They're definitely going to need some new blood for the next season because these women are all starting to hate another," laughs a spy.
Singer also told People magazine of her experience with working with Bensimon, "I didn't enjoy filming with Kelly. There's just nothing there. There's something missing."
Via a spokeswoman, Bensimon says of the claim that she regrets signing on, "I think that's laughable. I had a fabulous experience on the show. My friends love me and had a ball watching me."
A Bravo flack tells Page Six, "No decisions for season three have been made yet. The show was up double digits versus last season. We're thrilled with season two and love each and every one of our New York City ladies." And maybe the less they love each other, the better for the ratings.
