A former “Real Housewife of New York” boy toy plans to strike back against a business partner who is suing him for $15 million — with a $100 million countersuit of his own.
RLTY International co-founder Emir Bahadir’s Manhattan civil suit accuses partner Benjamin Benalloul, who appeared on “Housewives” in 2013 as Sonja Morgan‘s love interest, of treating their firm like “his personal nightclub and piggy bank.”
But Benalloull, 25, said the suit is “based on lies” and he will file a $100 million countersuit in the coming days.
“We are responsibly handling this childish ingrate,” Benalloul told The Post.
Bahadir, 24, says his business partner charged RLTY for a $35,000 Miami hotel room in March.
But Benalloul told The Post he paid for the suite with his own American Express card.
Bahadir claims Benalloul used firm funds to “bankroll his lavish nightlife,” including spending $500 one night at nine different Manhattan hot spots including Soho House, Provocateur and Cipriani Downtown.
“These are crazy allegations,” said Benalloul, a scion of the Swingline stapler fortune.
Benalloul said that doing “reality TV was one of the biggest mistakes of my life,” because of unwanted attention from his involvement in the series.
Meanwhile, Bahadir also enjoys a life of luxury as one of the so-called “Rich Kids of Instagram.”
The self-described “young trendsetter and tastemaker” posts pictures of himself on social media on a private jet and relaxing on a yacht to his over 200,000 followers.
He’s asking a Manhattan judge to force Benalloul to sell his share of the company.
The two-year-old real estate firm’s listings include an $85 million condo on W. 42nd Street and a $59 million penthouse on Central Park West.
But the founders can’t even agree on their respective stakes in RLTY.
Bahadir’s suit says he’s an equal owners with Benalloul and Benalloul’s father. But Benalloul says Bahadir is a minority owner with a 44 percent stake.
Benalloul also wants out.
“We haven’t been getting along,” Benalloul said. “We will split the company, but this isn’t the right way to go about it,” he said.
Benalloul also trashed his co-founder’s credentials, saying his Turkish business partner should go home.
“He has great Middle Eastern clientele, but we serve high network individuals who value their privacy,” Benalloul said. He boasted the he is the “intellectual capital” behind RLTY.
Bahadir’s suit counters that “Ben’s projection of a seasoned, real estate profession is nothing more than a charade, and is belied by his dilatory and destructive behavior, his theft of company funds to bankroll his lavish nightlife [and] his mistreatment of employees,” including allegedly forcing staff to clean up a private party he threw at the company’s Soho office.
Bahadir’s attorney, Larry Hutcher, said Benalloul only paid $5,000 on his personal credit card toward the hotel room. Hutcher added, ‘The obnoxious and offensive comments that Mr. Benalloul has made against Mr. Bahadir demonstrate his utter lack of professionalism and fitness to continue to serve as a member of RLTYNYC . It further shows why Emir was required to seek the intervention of the court to end this toxic relationship.”
The suit’s been assigned to Justice Barry Ostrager in Manhattan Supreme Court.
