Based on legal documents, Bensimon and Stefanov got into a heated argument, which led to the blow and resulting laceration below his left eye.

Bensimon's lawyer denies the charges, of course. Stephen Turano told Us Weekly that his client pleaded not guilty. He added: "The charges are unfounded."

Kelly is due in court March 31.
