‘RHONY’ Star Reveals Why She Called Off Her Wedding

Kelly Bensimon, the real estate broker and reality TV fixture, revealed on Wednesday that she made an 11th-hour decision to call off her wedding to financier Scott Litker after he balked at signing a prenuptial agreement.

“To be clear, he refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, and I refused to marry him,” the 56-year-old told People . “Full stop.”

Bensimon characterized Litker’s brush-off as the “ultimate red flag” to Us Weekly .

The couple, who got engaged last summer, were set to be wed this Saturday. But everything fell apart “late Tuesday afternoon” when Litker, a wealth management consultant, made his intentions clear to Bensimon, she said in a statement.

“He thought that I would enter this union without legal protections in place, that I would leave everything to faith,” she continued.

“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.”

Bensimon, a former model, rose to fame as a member of the cast of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York City , starring on the show from season two to season four.
