The New York media couldn’t stand Anna and were annoyed with her "determined authenticity”, The New York Times wrote that "during her one year stay in New York, she had chased the Mets to distraction." Sports news commenter Murray Chass said a nasty remark about the Bensons, "Kris Benson lacks a sufficient hand for the Mets in order to disregard his wife's mouth.
Anna Benson was still asked by the media to pose for their spreads even with her bad reputation. They didn’t care about what she had to say, they just wanted a sexy wife of a baseball player in their magazines so that they could sell more copies. Anna has been on the cover of magazines like The New Yorker, The Sporting News, and men's magazines similar to FHM. She was also featured on page 6 of the New York Post and Daily News too which usually feature beautiful women.
Anna Benson has an estimated net worth of over $500,000.
In 1998, Anna Benson met her future husband, Kris Benson, while she was working at the Mardi Gras which was a strip club in Atlanta. At this point, Anna had been stripping for close to six years and basically became a woman while growing up in the strip club. Kris was playing for a small minor league baseball team called the Nashville Sounds. He was smitten with the sexy stripper he met in Anna
The couple had attended rival schools in Georgia but never crossed paths until their meeting at Mardi Gras. The couple had an intense love affair and only waited one year before getting married. Even though Anna was so young, it would be her second marriage while it was Kris’ first marriage.
Anna explained how her life changed after she got married to Kris, “When I came to Kris, I had nothing two sets of underwear and one bra. All of a sudden, I discovered I was hitched to a mogul". The Bensons were soon labeled as baseball’s most chaotic couple as Anna was able to capture the attention of a star pitcher who was usually distracted. Their marriage started facing trouble when Anna requested a separation on March 31, 2006, referring to their marriage as "hopelessly broken". She later withdrew the separation appeal after some reflection and consideration. Throughout her two marriages, Anna gave birth to four kids. She had one little girl named Alyssa from her first and three children with Kris. Kris and Anna are the parents of their daughter Haylee and their sons Paul James and Devin.
Anna’s troubles did not seem to decline even though she was married to a wealthy baseball player. On July 19, 2012, it was Kris this time that served Anna with legal documents. She was captured and arrested on July 8, 2013 after threatening Kris at his home with a gun and metal stick while wearing a bulletproof vest. She was accused of ambush and criminal trespassing. She confessed to weapons charges on November 5, 2013 in Marietta, Georgia, and was sentenced 15 years of probation.
