A New York man has sued his ex-fiancee -- who twice broke off their engagement -- for nearly $50,000 in rent and wedding deposits he said she owes him.
Steven Silverstein filed the suit Tuesday in Manhattan Supreme Court. He said even though Kendra Platt-Lee returned a $32,000 engagement ring, she still owes him, including half of the $54,367.87 she withdrew from their joint bank account, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday.
Silverstein alleges in the suit he paid half of the rent on the couple's $3,945-a-month East Side apartment, as well as all of the $27,000 in non-refundable deposits for their planned Sept. 22 wedding, the New York Post reported.
"We settled this," Platt-Lee said. "I don't owe him any money."
The couple began dating in March 2008, but Platt-Lee called the engagement off in 2010. The romance was rekindled by June 2011, though Platt-Lee called things off again in April. (UPI)
