Kelly Bensimon, the former housewife on The Real Housewives of New York, decided to head to the Hamptons topless. The model seemed tan and happy as she enjoyed the summer weather, not giving a care in the world about who saw her. 

Bensimon entered the Bravo universe on the second season of RHONY in 2009, and she had a rough go. Along with her good looks, she seemed to get off to a positive start by making friends with Luann de Lesseps and Jill Zarin. The real story turned out to be Bensimon’s lack of friendship with Bethenny Frankel. The mother of two seemed a bit out of this world, and her personality just did not mesh with the Skinnygirl founder, who was always very down to earth. The model’s most memorable moment on RHONY was during season 3 and the infamous cast trip to the Virgin Islands when she had an out-of-body meltdown. Cue Frankel flipping out on her, and it was TV gold. Bensimon was let go after season 4, and most fans were not sad to see her go.

Fast forward to this past weekend, where Bensimon was seen topless. The brunette was out and about in Montauk when she posted a snap from her trip on a boat on her Instagram. While at Gurney’s Star Island Resort, she hoped on a vessel and share her thoughts with her fans, writing, “Looking forward…

The 53-year old felt no shame as she sported nautical striped shorts and a pair of sunnies. Bensimon feels comfortable in her skin, and fans may remember she has posed nude for Playboy before. The former housewife always did have an air about her that led many to feel she was very confident, even if her time on the show didn’t work out for her. 

Since leaving the show, the mother of two has done well for herself and become quite the real estate agent. She works in New York City, the Hamptons, and Florida.  She is high up there in earning and may even make an appearance on Million Dollar Listing since she sold $50 million last year. When she is not selling houses like hotcakes, she is taking the time to write since she already has penned six books to date.
