Kelly Bensimon is a 56-year-old RHONY alum. She?s also a former model and former fashion editor. Her stint on RHONY seemed to give a boost to her career as an all-around celebrity and she reportedly has a net worth around $10 million. In 2009, she was charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly punching her boyfriend at the time, Nick Stefanov. She ended up taking a plea deal and performing two days of community service. Years later, she met Scott Litner at a Rangers game. Litner is a finance bro who has worked for Bank of America, Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns. They got engaged last year on the Fourth of July. Their wedding was supposed to happen this coming weekend, only Kelly called off the wedding and ended the engagement. She issued statements to Us Weekly and People Magazine about why she ended things so suddenly:
Kelly Bensimon is speaking out after calling off her wedding to financier Scott Litner four days before the pair were supposed to tie the knot, telling PEOPLE that she refused to marry him after he wouldnt sign a prenup.
?Ultimately, my decision is nobody?s business, but I understand that there is speculation and gossip, and I want to put an end to all of it,? Bensimon, 56, tells PEOPLE exclusively. ?To be clear, he refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, and I refused to marry him. Full stop.
PEOPLE confirmed Bensimon called off the nuptials earlier this week, with an insider close to the reality star saying that she was taking time for herself to regroup during a difficult time.
In an official statement, the Real Housewives of New York City alum confirmed the news, saying that the June 29 wedding was called off on Tuesday, June 25, and that she was disappointed by this turn of events.
She was looking forward to an exciting new chapter in her life together with Scott when everything became clear to her late on Tuesday afternoon, the statement read, adding a quote from Bensimon herself: ?He thought that I would enter this union without legal protections in place, that I would leave everything to faith. But I?ve worked really, really, hard as a single mother and have always made smart decisions for myself and my family, and that will continue.
The statement added Litner, who works as a wealth management advisor, refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, effectively stalling their engagement mere days before the wedding.

I would imagine that Litner has his own money from his finance career, and it sounds like he?s used to pulling down mid-to-high six figures a year. My point being, a prenup would have protected him and his assets as well and I do think it?s shady AF that he seemingly refused to sign a prenup. Kelly also told Us Weekly that she thought the refusal was ?the ultimate red flag,? and I kind of agree with her?
Also, I have to say something really political here, so if you?re not in the mood, just skip this but given the hard-right evangelical political turn in many states and within the Supreme Court, women need to start being very VERY fking careful about who they become legally attached to. If this year?s elections take a bad turn, no-fault divorces are on the chopping block in a big way. Birth control access is on the chopping block, nevermind abortion access. I?m just saying? ladies, if you want to shack up with a man, go ahead. But don?t combine finances, don?t marry without a prenup, don?t leave yourself unprotected, don?t let that man baby-trap you or marriage-trap you.

Kelly Bensimon is known for being super fit, and very tan, at 49. She’s one of those former Real Housewives of New York and just seems to have some kind of very minor celebrity longevity, like one of the cast members of Laguna Beach or something. You know who she is, she’s around a lot, but she usually seems to blend into the background. Anyway she talked to US Magazine about her workout routine and how she switched it up recently and thinks that’s the answer to changing her body. She already looked chiseled as anything, but apparently she thinks she was running too much and that it was making her look “over worked out,” but that now that she does SoulCycle her body has changed for the better but she’s working out less. OK.
The former Real Housewives of New York City star told Us that her new go-to workout is tapping it back at SoulCycle.
?I actually changed my routine recently,? Bensimon shared. ?My oldest daughter started going to SoulCycle. I started going to classes with her and my body started changing. I?m 49-years-old and by amping up my exercise routine, my body started changing.?
The model explained that she ?noticed everything becoming more toned? and that she used to always just run, which made her look ?over worked out.?
?I think a lot of women exhaust themselves and they age a lot quicker,? Bensimon told Us, adding that switching up her routine to SoulCyle has been a ?game changer.?
?I would say I workout only three times a week,” she concluded. “Which is less than before and I like my body a lot more.?

I don’t buy this women “exhausting” themselves with exercise stuff. I’m in my 40s and I do a lot of cardio and feel better than I have in decades. (I’m sure Bensimon is talking about levels beyond what I do, but work with me on this.) I think it’s an “ass or your face” situation (Lainey introduced me to that but I don’t think she coined it) where women who are very slender and fit start to look drawn and old. You need a little weight on to make sure your face isn’t too gaunt-looking when you’re older. If you are underweight it looks unattractive on older women. Of course a lot of those women who exercise their bodies to perfection also get injectables which can make you look preternaturally old if they’re not precisely done. Bensimon has had some jabs, judging from her photos, but they’re decent so far and she seems to be sticking to the Botox. Also, as far as exercise philosophy my motto is “whatever works for you and keeps you coming back.” There’s no one solution or program for anyone.
