'Real Housewives' Star Accused of Beating Up Boyfriend

You may think the drama only is going down in Atlanta, or Orange County, but there's a whole new 'Real Housewives..." scandal brewing right here in NYC.

Kelly Killoren Bensimon, who appears on the NYC version of the Bravo series, "The Real Housewives of New York City", was arrested last week for misdemeanor assault. She put the beat down on her boyfriend, Nicholas Stefanov, according to the Daily News.

The criminal complaint says Kelly hit Nicholas "with a closed fist, thereby causing informant to suffer a laceration below informant's left eye and substantial pain."

But he wants her back.

In an exclusive interview, Stefanov said he still loves Bensimon, but blamed stress from their recent engagement and the pressure of being on the show for causing her to snap.

"She is a great girl," he said. "I do want to work it out. But what are you supposed to do when a girl is hitting you, just sit there like a punching bag?

"If I had hit her, I'd be sitting in a jail cell right now," he said, adding that it was not the first time he's been socked by Bensimon.

Stefanov said the couple was fighting over the "usual stuff that couples fight about." Stefanov said Bensimon "sucker-punched" him during the fight, but noted that at least she "had the courtesy to take her [engagement] ring off first." She also returned it to him that night, he said.


Suffice it to say, Kelly's lawyer says the allegations are false. She is due in court March 31.
