Anna Benson to Get Reality Show on VH-1
Anna Benson, the model and wife of Mets pitcher Kris Benson is going to get her own reality show on VH-1, which will apparently chronicle her life as a baseball player's wife. One might ask why she is worthy of a reality show as opposed to the wife of a more well-known player like Alex Rodriguez or another superstar. Well, the reason would be that Anna is not only beautiful but is also known for talking to anyone who will listen about the graphic details of her sex life with her husband. Kris seems to have absolutely no problem what-so-ever with his wife's behavior, which seems a little odd since I'm sure that her comments make him the butt of many jokes among his teammates.
One of her most memorable recent comments was on the Howard Stern Show where she said that she would sleep with all of her husband's teammates if he ever cheated on her. Other comments include talking about how she hadn't had sex with Kris in Shea Stadium... yet, and taking credit for guiding her husband's career, as well as providing guidance to the team's he's been with. Ms. Benson apparently thinks she's the most intelligent woman on the face of the planet and that everyone should be anxious to hear everything she has to say. It's true that people look forward to when she give interviews but that's mostly so they can laugh at her.
I wonder how the Mets feel about this show? Given the nature of much of her most publicized comments this show could end up being very embarassing both for the Bensons, though I suspect they have no idea just how ridiculous this stuff makes them look, and for the Mets organization. It could end up being an interesting summer for the Mets and not just because of what happens on the field.
