'NY Housewife' Gets Real Community Service

Posted Jun 8th 2009 2:45PM by TMZ Staff

"Real Housewives of New York's" Kelly Bensimon has been ordered to two days of community service for laying the smack down on her ex in an apartment attack.

Bensimon was arrested in March after allegedly giving boytoy BF Nicholas Stefanov a black eye and sliced cheek in an argument at her Manhattan pad.

Outside court today, Bensimon claimed she was only protecting her family and "justice was served" -- but inside, the judge ruled that while Kelly can contact her ex, she can't harm or threaten him in any way.

Kelly's misdemeanor assault charges will be wiped clean if she completes her service and keeps out of trouble for a year.

31. She's not even a freaking housewife she's single most of them on all those show's are so why is it even called housewives of anything. I hope that stuck up slag has to clean poor peoples houses.

33. At least she has 2 whole days to complete. People in LA serve like 16 minutes in jail and they're done.

34. I don't have a comment. I just wanted to give a shout out to my girls from the RHONJ message board.

37. The only reason that RHONY would keep Kelly would be that she is a catalyst for most of the drama. To ask Bethany to meet her in a bar, then show up 30 minutes late and then say to Bethany, "I'm up here and you're down there" has come back to haunt her. I hope Kelly has to clean street gutters then Bethany would be "up here" and Kelly would be "down there". If the Powers That Be at RHONY get rid of Kelly, then I see Ramona becoming more of a lightening rod for trouble.

38. BTW, any real "housewife" in New York wouldn't be caught DEAD on this show, married or not.

Just sayin'..........

40. This woman is effing retarded! The term "airhead" describes her to a tee.

41. I guess she does kind of resemble a man. She is a SNOB/FAKE and really does think she is better than others.... AND...not real bright on top of it!

42. Could she be more pathetic?! I think she's long over due for a punch in HER mouth. Hit the road Kelly, you're NOT that interesting.

43. She is a lair! on the reunion show she said something way different than what she was charged for! she deserves more than what she got! HAHAHAHA!

44. NY is full of these phonies....saying hi to everyone, but not getting to close to any one person. I live & work in NY.
We laugh at these people. They are the hanger on'rs as they say. 40 and airhead thing just doesn't work. The 2nd or 3rd wave of hot babes have already taken that place. Know when it isn't working for you & move on to something or someone with subtance.
She is oddly not connected to anyone. Look very lonely and sad. It is all an act....

45. Kelly...some of us in NY know class when we see it. Saw you at a fashion show. The comments were as follows..."Is that all we could get....D list reality whores???" Someone must of lost their job over that one. Reality bites!
