Kelly Bensimon in court for assault charge

Pictured above, Kelly Killoren Bensimon--in happier days--with then husband (and old man) photographer, Gilles Bensimon.

This morning, Kelly was in a Manhattan courtroom with her famous mouthpiece, Eddie Hayes, to answer charges of putting a beatdown on her fiancee/boy toy, Nick Stefanov. Kelly is 40, Nick is 30. Kelly was the 3rd wife of French born Gilles Bensimon, who is 65.

According to People magazine, Stefanov was not in court this morning and Kelly said little more than how "uncomfortable" this situation is for her and her two daughters. Her lawyer, Eddie Hayes, did manage to tell a tv program that Nick is just a "jilted moron." The link to People magazine: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20269066,00.html?xid=rss-topheadlines
