British adventurer and heiress Annabelle Bond is suing her former fiance — billionaire Warren Lichtenstein — and has named former “Real Housewife” Bethenny Frankel in court documents as his girlfriend.
Bond filed suit Mar. 28 in New York Supreme Court claiming that Lichtenstein is a “deadbeat father” who owes her $570,110.05 in child support, while living an “extravagant playboy lifestyle.”
The suit says he’s “traveling the world on private jets, expanding his huge compound in Aspen . . . living in a beachfront mansion in [California], and dating [former “Real Housewives” star and talk-show host] Bethany (sic) Frankel.” But that Lichtenstein, “claims that he is too broke to support his only daughter.”
Bond and Lichtenstein split in April 2007 when Bond was five months pregnant, and have a 6-year-old daughter together.
Frankel’s reps have repeatedly denied she and Lichtenstein are dating and have said they’re just close friends. Bond’s child support ruling was made in Hong Kong, where she lives and is dating a Tampa Bay Rays owner, Andrew Cader.
She’s the daughter of former Vodafone and HSBC chairman Sir John Bond. Lichenstein, meantime, accused Bond in his own suit filed last year against Cader of pursuing the massive child support settlement against him to, “improve upon her own already extraordinary life of leisure, luxury, privilege and modest fame.”
He alleged Cader was conspiring to defraud him by giving Bond millions in loans to inflate her child support needs. But Lichtenstein later withdrew the suit.
Bond’s rep had no comment.
Reps for Lichtenstein and Frankel didn’t return requests for comment.
