A consulting firm exec who claims his fiancée dumped him just months before their wedding took her to court Tuesday to force her to pay her share of the bills he got stuck with. Click below to find out more.
Jilted groom Steven Silverstein contends his former flame, Kendra Platt-Lee, owes him nearly $50,000 — including half the $500 deposit he gave the wedding deejay.
The upper East Side businessman is even going after Platt-Lee for her split of the rent on two apartments they shared during their off-and-on engagement dating back to 2009.
He says he paid her share of the rent on their most recent $3,945-a-month love nest because they were going to get married.
He’s just thankful she gave him back the $32,000 diamond engagement ring, after dumping him by phone in April.
Silverstein contends that, as a parting gift, Platt-Lee withdrew $54,367.87 from their joint Chase bank account on the day she broke up with him.
He says $19,269 of the money she took is his and he wants it back.
Platt-Lee said Tuesday that she was blindsided by Silverstein’s lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Manhattan Supreme Court.
“I haven’t been served with anything yet,†said Platt-Lee, an ex-Hooters employee.
Reached by phone at her San Diego home, Platt-Lee countered that she thought her relationship with Silverstein ended “amicably.†But she admitted they “don’t really speak.â€
“We settled this,†she said. “I don’t owe him any money.â€
