On Saturday, the Real Housewives of New York (RHONY) star Luann de Lesseps apologized to the staff and patrons at a New York City bar. She was involved in an incident there, on Thursday. She was not sober, at that time. The Bravo star received support from other stars of the Real Housewives franchise, after she apologized on Instagram, following the incident.
She sang on the mic while patrons and staff were present in the piano room, in the gay bar. She kept on singing and also told patrons “f*** you” when she was booed. She was eventually asked to leave the bar but she denied that. She reportedly did not allow others to sing and was booed when she reportedly sang off key leading her to use expletives against the crowd who booed her.
In a lengthy statement, the 57-year old star said that she faced up to the truth after a regrettable incident for which she wanted “to apologize to the staff at Townhouse and anyone else I may have offended by my behavior.”
She said that it was clear that her “struggles with alcohol are real.” She said that there have been times when she had fallen, although she had also made great strides. She said that it was “one day at a time.” She mentioned that she was in recovery and was taking steps to ensure that such an incident did not occur again. She added that she was grateful to her family and her friends for “their constant support.”
Her statement on Instagram received support from fellow Bravo stars of the same franchise. Real Housewives of New Jersey star Margaret Josephs replied with a host of emojis with hearts and more. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Lisa Rinna sent her love and also put a heart emoji in her post. Former Real Housewives of New York star Kelly Bensimon said that they loved her and supported her.
Luan de Lesseps has found it difficult to maintain sobriety. She has been in and out of rehab, a few times these past few years. We wish her well.
