'RHONY' Star Barbara Kavovit Rents Out Hamptons Home Amid Foreclosure Drama
July 11 2019, Updated 1:56 p.m. ET
The Real Housewives of New York star Barbara Kavovit is renting out the Hamptons home that she's reportedly desperately trying to save from foreclosure.
As The Blast first reported, the 53-year-old businesswoman is facing foreclosure on her Wainscott, New York house and is trying to arrange a settlement with a bank.
Now, RadarOnline.com has obtained photos of the luxurious house that features 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths.
Kavovit, who appeared on the Bravo reality show's just-concluded 11th season, is currently in settlement talks over $2.4 million that she owes on the home, as the website reported.
Kavovit told Page Six last month amid the drama, “Part of being an entrepreneur means that business and life can sometimes take unexpected turns. In 2015, I filed for personal bankruptcy protection which has been discharged, and am currently in settlement discussions with Deutsche Bank, with every expectation this will be concluded soon."
According to Page Six, the bank first sued Kavovit last year and accused her of failing to pay her mortgage. Kavovit took out the $2.4 million loan in 2006 with her father, Joseph. He died in 2013, and the bank claimed that she became responsible for the loan upon his passing. But the bank claims that Kavovit missed a payment on April 1, 2015, and still owes $2,482,167.44.
Last year, Deutsche Bank National sued Kavovit, accusing her of failing to make mortgage payments and wanted to foreclose on her home.
But instead, the bank sued Kavovit for the full balance with interest and asked a judge to let it sell the home at a public auction.
However, the reality TV star asked that the case be thrown out, saying the bank failed to give her notice of its plan to sue. She claimed the loan terms were illegal and asked for the judge to not allow the bank to foreclose.
Now Kavovit is trying to rent out the house.
