Engagement Lawsuit Raises Questions
Either this is the worst "gold digger" ever, or she has a hell of a defense, returning a ring worth $32,000.
Kendra Platt-Lee decided she no longer wanted to get married to Steven Silverstein. She broke off the wedding and returned the ring, only to find he was suing her. Silverstein wants to be compensated for wedding expenses and two years of rent for the time they lived together.
I can only pray he doesn't have a leg to stand on when it comes to the time living together, but when it comes to legal matters I take nothing for granted. She lived with him, with his full consent and permission, and owes him nothing (or so one would think). As far as wedding expenses, she voluntarily returned the ring, worth over thirty grand. It's going to be hard to portray her as victimizing or taking advantage when she initiated the return. I found mixed results when it comes to the forced return or compensation for engagement rings, so she by no means had to be so forthcoming with it. While splitting the wedding costs may be nice, I'm not sure how the law will fall on that one either.
Silverstein does claim she wiped out a joint account. However, good luck doing anything with that, as it's a joint account for a reason. It will be interesting to see if she did. It doesn't at all jibe with the return of the ring. If she did though, it will give some weight to his claims of greediness and shady play. It would also be just about impossible to prosecute, so she's either very clever or he's very determined to smear her reputation.
Love hurts, baby.
As usual only you only published 1/2 the story and DON'T even have the decency to state facts..why in your article didn't you mention that Mz plattlee broke off the engagement over the phone and only seconds later texted the groom to be that she took the money...why didn't your article state that the groom to be begged plattlee for over 2 weeks to return to NY return the ring and the stolen money.....why Did she refuse to come to NY like an adult and clean up the mess she created....really sad part is ONLY when the groom put a few if her shirts on eBay all of a sudden On the EXACT same day she shows up in NY demanding her clothing back....oh by the of course no ring with her ....pretty strange ...how do you possibly say she voluntarily returned the ring ALL OF THE ABOVE IS documented in writing.....as well as her personal deposits and signatures ...for apartment leases..wedding venue...bands...dj's....photographers and so on....why should all of those people also get burned by this pathetic parasite
