The Real Boyfriend Beater of New York City

The latest addition to Bravo’s reality show Real Housewives of New York City knows all about drama.

Kelly Bensimon went Chris Brown on her boyfriend last week.

The 6-foot-tall, 40-year-old former model got into a fight with her boyfriend, 30-year-old Nick Stefanov, and socked him, giving him a black eye, a blood-gushing gash on his left cheek and a fat lip according to the police report.

Stefanov fled Bensimon's apartment on Centre Street after the Tuesday-morning beating and reported the mother of two to police at the 5th Precinct station.

She surrendered two days later and was charged with misdemeanor third-degree assault and is due in court March 31st.

The couple has been dating for nearly four years and reportedly got engaged a few weeks ago. Stefanov has been a surrogate father to her two daughters and isn’t ready to end their relationship over the incident.

“It’s snowballing into something no one ever intended,” he says.

Well, Oprah would tell you two things: If she hit you before, she WILL hit you again, and love isn’t supposed to hurt.

What is it with people thinking violence is okay?

Unless you’re a UFC cage fighter and that’s how you make a living, it is NEVER appropriate to hit someone. And even then, keep it in the cage.
