‘Real Housewives Of New York’ Star Luann De Lesseps Apologizes After Drunken Incident At Gay Bar

Real Housewives of New York star Luann de Lesseps has issued an apology after causing a scene at New York City piano bar, Townhouse.

“This week, after a regrettable incident, I was faced with the truth,” de Lesseps, 56, began her statement on Instagram Saturday morning.

“I want to apologize to the staff at Townhouse and anyone else I may have offended with my behavior,” she continued. “Clearly, my struggles with alcohol are real!”

De Lesseps was arrested in 2017 in Palm Beach, Fla., on Christmas Eve for being drunk and disorderly. She agreed to plead guilty to battery, trespassing and disorderly intoxication in exchange for the felony charge against her being reduced.

The reality star has publicly battled her addiction ever since, with time spent in rehab and continued efforts to maintain her sobriety over the years.

“While I’ve made great strides over the years, there’s been times where I’ve fallen. It’s one day at a time,” she went on. “I’m in recovery and taking steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again.”

This week, De Lesseps was reportedly booted from Townhouse after causing a drunken disturbance as she “monopolized the piano” at the popular gay bar.

The reality star reportedly “belted out jumbled versions of songs,” which were so intolerable that “the crowd began booing her,” causing her to yell at the audience, screaming “f–k you!” to patrons.

“I’m grateful to my family and my friends for their constant support, sincerely, LuAnn,” she concluded.
