Back in March, Real Housewife Kelly Bensimon was charged with beating up her boyfriend. But now her record will be wiped clean if she serves two days of community service and stays on the straight and narrow. Bensimon said she was pleased with the deal, "Justice was served." While battered boyfriend Nicholas Stefanov previously said he'd like to get back together, Bensimon said that's not happening, repeating her lawyer's earlier refrain that she was trying to get him to leave her apartment (hence pushing him so hard that he told the tabloids, "My injuries are worse than Rihanna's - and Chris Brown was charged with two felonies"). The Columbia graduate also posed the ultimate Deep Thought, "Is it good for your career when bad things happen to good people?"

You may have known that the Real Housewives of New York was off the air, but Kelly Killoren Bensimon is talking like the cameras are still on her. Okay, so they were, for this 35-minute-long Obsessed TV interview that NYMag points out. Wondering how this one got into Columbia? She just asked nicely and batted her eyelashes, duh. Bensimon, who graduated from Columbia's School of General Studies at age 30, explains, "A friend of mine said you should really go to Columbia, they have an amazing journalism department there. And so I actually went to the school and I said to them, I said, 'You know, if you take me, I, you know, you just gotta give me a chance, and if you take me, then I will be the best student, I will do whatever it is, whatever you need whenever you need it. I promise you, you know, I will not be a mistake.' And this man, the dean, was like, 'Who are you? Like, what? No, no, no. We have a process here. You have to fill out an application.' And I was like, 'No no no, It's nice you have an application, I've already sent that in, but I want to go here, and I really really wanted to go there.' And he let me in." Totally not a mistake, right, Dean?

Bravo's alleged boyfriend-beating "housewife" is at it again. Page Six now reports that Kelly Bensimon allegedly stole an idea for a jewelry piece from a former Elle Accessories co-worker, Celeste Greenberg. The story goes like this: Greenberg procured a vintage owl pendant for then editor-in-chief Bensimon to wear for photo shoots, and together they promptly made a deal to manufacture a replica of the design. Trouble is, those verbal agreements are always so tricky. Greenberg is now filing a lawsuit that claims Bensimon "cut Greenberg out and went ahead and manufactured the pendant on her own," which she currently sells for $325 and has been happily hawking the piece during her Real Housewives screen time.

The Real Houswives of New York's Kelly Bensimon proves once again that she's a terrible person. On the heels of allegedly assaulting her boyfriend, she's now lashing out verbally in Harper's Bazaar. Page Six has an excerpt from the interview, where she calls her co-star Bethenny inauthentic, and asks: "Will she ever sit next to Lauren duPont?" Burn? (We don't know who that person is.) She then pats herself on the back for being authentic because she's "the ambassador for wool." What? This is so confusing! You don't need a crazy-talk translator to understand the following, however—when asked why she even agreed to be on the show, she declared, "I wanted to put my name up there. I was like, it's not enough for New York to know me. I wanted the rest of America to know me. I have a great life." America, if you're ready for more, you can get the full interview here.

Kelly Bensimon, the 40-year old former model, socialite, scribe of some bikini book, and one of the unmarried Real Housewives on the Bravo reality show is giving herself a new title: victim. The NY Post reports that she claimed to be innocent at a pretrial hearing yesterday regarding the beating she allegedly gave her ex-boyfriend Nick Stefanov earlier this month in her SoHo digs. Her lawyer told the paper, "The guy wouldn't leave her apartment. He pushed and shoved her, then he calls the police. You're entitled to push him out of your apartment [if he doesn't voluntarily leave]." Bensimon claims she's received threatening emails from the ex, one saying "I'm going to make your life misery." Meanwhile, Stefanov wants the order of protection extended. If convicted of the misdemeanor third-degree assault charges, Bensimon could face a year behind bars. Maybe she can be cellmates with the other alleged Bravo boyfriend beater Kenley.

Incase you had already forgotten about the Real Housewives of New York City, the newest one, Kelly Bensimon, is fighting her way to headlines! The NY Post reports that the "6-foot-tall, 40-year-old former model, horse fancier and one-time marathon runner got into a fight last week with her boyfriend, 30-year-old Nick Stefanov, and clocked him, giving him a black eye and opening a blood-gushing gash on his left cheek." Stefanov fled and reported the beating to the 5th Precinct, landing Bensimon with a misdemeanor third-degree assault and a March 31st court date (she's currently denying the charges). The two recently engaged lovebirds now have a restraining order that prevents them from contacting each other, but Stefanov seems to want to get back together with the "housewife" even though she's been physically abusive in the past—he did say, "My injuries are worse than Rihanna's - and Chris Brown was charged with two felonies."
