    Luann de Lesseps, 59, of RHONY proves she can still rock a bikini after naming ‘magic’ diet

    Real Housewives Of New York City star Luann de Lesseps showed off her incredibly toned figure on Instagram on Wednesday.

    The 59-year-old reality TV wonder was wearing a very skimpy blue string bikini with gold chain accents that made the most of her flat tummy and tiny waistline.

    The diva was showed off her body as she was seated during a sunbathing session on a sandy beach. 

    The lounge singer – who turns 60-years-old on May 17 – added a straw hat and a long gold necklace with gemstones. 

    On her Instagram page she noted she was on vacation in Mexico as she added the caption, ‘Chic c’est la sea.’ Before that she wrote in another post, ‘No better cure for the January blues than Mexico.’

    Fellow Bravo star Tamra Judge hit the ‘like’ button. 

    This is the first bikini photo the TV siren – who is mother to 29-year-old Victoria de Lesseps – has posted this year.

    Luann’s ex is 74-year-old Alexandre de Lesseps, a French entrepreneur and pioneer of microfinancing in developing countries. Luann and Alexandre were wed from 1993 until 2009. 

    She also dated Mary-Kate Olsen ‘s ex-husband, Olivier Sarkozy in New York City.

    The singer and the French banker, 55 — who split with Olsen in 2020 — were spotted arm in arm, leaving Le Bilboquet restaurant on March 4, 2024.

    Rocking a fuzzy red jacket and black leather pants, the cabaret singer flashed her megawatt smile as she stayed close to her handsome date, who looked dapper in a dark suede jacket.

    The pair enjoyed each other’s company for nearly two hours at the eatery, according to witnesses.

    The outing comes a few days after the Countess revealed she went on a date with a 63-year-old male model, amid previous buzz that she was seeing Southern Hospitality personality Joe Bradley.

    ‘I actually had a date last night with a guy that is really attractive,’ de Lesseps told reporter Derek Zagami on his Instagram account.

    She added of her recent suitor: ‘He continues to model to this day, does very well, is the salt-and-pepper gray.’

    This comes after the bombshell said she watches her incredibly toned figure by skipping booze, staying on a Mediterranean Diet, doing intermittent fasting and practicing yoga

    The star described the man who she went out as a ‘husband commercial type of guy, but very nice.’

    Luann was recently linked with Southern Hospitality personality Bradley, 29, as an insider told Us Weekly last month that the two appeared to be cozy while spending time with one another at New York City’s Dream Hotel.

    The two were ‘all over each other,’ an insider said, after a January 24 Watch What Happens Live taping.

    She addressed the night out with her fellow Bravolebrity earlier this month while speaking to TMZ .

    ‘We definitely had great chemistry and we went out to have drinks – what’s wrong with that?’ she told the outlet.

    Acknowledging that Bradley has ‘got a girlfriend’ – he’s been seeing Summer House personality Danielle Olivera, 36 – de Lesseps conceded that they ‘definitely had great chemistry, let’s put it that way.’

    This comes after the bombshell said she watches her incredibly toned figure by skipping booze, staying on a Mediterranean Diet, doing intermittent fasting and practicing yoga. 

    The socialite told Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino earlier this year that she overall has a very healthy lifestyle.

    ‘First of all, I’m happy,’ she shared.

    ‘Second of all, I’m not drinking so that makes me even happier and keeps the weight off, I gotta say.’ 

    She was sober then drank again during the pandemic and is now sober again.

    Seen last year in a tiny black string bikini by a swimming pool. 'I try not to eat before 10 in the morning and not after six at night,' said the cabaret singer

    The siren also likes to practice yoga and keep moving with walks on the beach. And she follows intermittent fasting. 

    ‘I try not to eat before 10 in the morning and not after six at night,’ said the cabaret singer.

    ‘And if I do eat at night, it’s a lot lighter than what I would eat during the day. And really Mediterranean diet.’

    And earlier this year she told SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live about her decision to stop drinking.

    Luann initially stopped drinking after she assaulted a police officer in 2017, but she relapsed in March of 2022. 

    During the sit-down with Lewis, de Lesseps listed some of the benefits of sobriety.

    ‘You spend a lot less on Ubers, you don’t have to apologize the next day for something you did, you don’t wind up, like me, on Page Six, because you, you know, screwed up somewhere,’ she said.

    ‘You know, alcohol has gotten me into a lot of trouble, and I just got to a point in my life where I am able to have a good time without drinking,’ she added.

    Hugh Grant responds to RHONY star Luann de Lesseps’ claim they ‘heavily’ made out with each other: ‘Steady on!’

    Hugh Grant has broken his silence on RHONY star Luann de Lesseps’ claim they ‘heavily made out’ with each other in the Hamptons.

    Earlier this month the OG cast member of The Real Housewives of New York City, 59, revealed she kissed the Four Weddings and a Funeral star, 64, during a drunken night in the Hamptons.

    She later admitted she had set up the romantic encounter by bumping into the star on purpose before suggesting they take shots.

    Sharing a screenshot of a People article containing de Lesseps’ revelations, Grant wrote on X: ‘Steady on. I do remember meeting a charming RHNY in a restaurant, but I’d like to stress it was about 15 years ago.

    ‘I don’t recall shots or kissing but her memory might be better than mine.’

    De Lesseps quickly responded with a ‘Literally crying laughing’ meme

    In 2009 de Lesseps was newly-single after splitting from first husband Alexandre following a 16 year marriage. 

    Playing Never Have I Ever with Andy Cohen, 56, on Watch What Happens Live, de Lesseps first made the shocking revelation – saying: ‘Remember Hugh Grant?’ and Cohen quickly replied, ‘Well, but nothing happened.’

    De Lesseps blurted out, ‘Well, making out,’ and Cohen retorted, ‘Wait, was I there?’

    The Countess said, ‘No, but Jimmy Fallon was,’ as the game came to an end. 

    In an interview with Too Fab during her Marry F Kill! cabaret tour she further detailed how she decided to visit Pierre’s restaurant after a friend told her the actor was there.

    She said: ‘I called and said, “Get the table right next to Hugh Grant”. I had my family over, my brother was visiting me, and I said, “Let’s go.”‘

    Employing ‘flirting 101’ she bumped her chair into him and then profusely apologized.

    She said: ‘I go, “I’m so sorry. Can I buy you a shot? I feel terrible”. He goes, “Okay, but I’ll come have a shot with you if you do one with me.”‘

    She said the pair ended up ‘taking shots and making out … heavily at the table. My brother was like, “I can’t believe you’re making out with Hugh Grant” and I was like, “Neither can I”.’

    During the spirited game, Luann also admitted to being a member of the Mile High Club and dating someone half her age.

    Cohen laughed alongside her as they revealed they shared many common experiences leading the talk show host to say, ‘We’re both gay New Yorkers,’ after the revelation of the younger man hookup.

    Luann quipped, ‘We’d be good wingmen for each other.’ 

    Recently, Luann commented that she doesn’t make the majority of her money from RHONY or any of its associated specials and spinoffs.

    She admitted that it takes a long time to make money from being a Real Housewife and that’s one reason she is so thankful for her cabaret act. 

    ‘Thank God because the TV gigs are far and few between,’ the Countess told Page Six.

    De Lesseps, an original cast member of Real Housewives of New York added, ‘Nobody makes money from Housewives in the beginning.’

    Luann is taking her cabaret show on the road to London, England and Australia in 2025.

    ‘I’m thrilled, cabaret is going great and my show at Sony Hall in November is sold out,’ she said, referring to the venue in New York City where her November 30 show is.

    When TMZ recently asked who in the RHONJ cast should stay and who should go, she playfully answered, ‘I’ve got cabaret shows to do. I can’t do everything!’

    On a more serious note, she said, ‘I think the main cast has been so good, so I plead the fifth.’

    A reporter with TMZ asked if she would ever return to the New York franchise, to which the songstress replied, ‘I don’t think so. I think I’d do Ultimate Girls Trip for sure.’

    ‘Well, you know, you never know,’ she later teased.

    Luann de Lesseps, 59, flashes the flesh in a leather strapless dress with a flirty cut out on her tummy

    Luann de Lesseps put her incredible figure on display just six months before the Real Housewives of New York City alum’s 60th birthday.

    Jaws dropped as the 59-year-old reality TV star stunned in a black leather dress that showed off a glimpse of her toned abs at the Dead Funny: An All-Star Tribute To Joan Rivers gala in New York City this Thursday.

    The event was held at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem to benefit Joan’s favorite charity God’s Love We Deliver.

    Luann wore her brown hair swept back into an updo and her makeup made her skin look dewy and glowing as if she had just come in from the sun. 

    Luann, who is a comedienne herself with a successful cabaret act, posed on the red carpet with Survival of the Thickest star Michelle Buteau and Randy Rainbow.

    Joan was associated with God’s Love We Deliver from its early years in 1980s New York, when the charity brought meals to people dying of AIDS.

    She was one of the earliest stars to throw her weight behind AIDS research as a cause, before it became famously associated with Elizabeth Taylor.

    As the years went on, God’s Love We Deliver expanded its remit beyond HIV/AIDS and now provided meals to thousands of people who are homebound from illness.

    Joan spent part of every Thanksgiving personally delivering food to the sick for the charity, as seen in the 2010 documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece Of Work.

    She died just over a decade ago, on September 4, 2014, after suffering complications from a routine endoscopy.

    A number of famous comedians made their presence felt on the red carpet, where Tiffany Haddish could be glimpsed mingling with Nikki Glaser. 

    Aubrey Plaza, Rita Wilson and Chelsea Handler were also spotted at the gala. 

    Recently, Luann gave thanks for the money her cabaret career brings in, admitting that it takes a long time to make money from being a Real Housewife.

    She added a watch, bracelets, and a necklace as she smirked at the camera.

    In the caption, she reflected: ‘Now is when we really soak in this season and realize how fleeting and precious it is. 

    ‘From swimsuits to sunsets, we are embracing this sensational summer.’

    In one recent post the star showed off her fit frame in a tiny black and white bikini that bared her cleavage and abs.

    ‘Many of you say at a certain age you’re too old to wear a bikini. This was in my drawer and it has tags on it,’ she announced as she turned to show her backside.

    She continued, ‘So the big question I have for you is: Am I popping tags or am I not popping tags?’

    The dark-haired beauty reiterated the question as she typed at the bottom of the clip in white font, ‘Am I popping or not?’

    One fan, seemingly impressed by her figure, asked: ‘How much do you workout?’ 

    Bethenny simply replied, ‘beach walks.’

    It comes after she recently sparked romance rumors with German artist Niclas Castello following their beach day in St. Tropez.

  • Real Housewives Join Dating Spinoff Love Hotel

    Real Housewives Join Dating Spinoff Love Hotel

    Real Housewives stars Luann De Lesseps, Shannon Beador, Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby are about to lead the cast of a dating spinoff.

    Entitled Love Hotel, the upcoming series will welcome a wide variety of suitors to compete for the reality stars’ affections.

    Gizelle, 53, and Ashley, 36, both shot to fame on The Real Housewives Of Potomac and have been main cast members throughout the show’s run.

    Meanwhile Luann, 59, used to be on The Real Housewives Of New York City and Shannon, 60, is a longtime Orange County Housewife.

    Now all four women will have to choose between a variety of men on Love Hotel, which will stream on Peacock, according to People.

    Love Hotel will be filmed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in September and is projected to be available on Peacock at some stage in 2025.

    Shannon recently shocked viewers of The Real Housewives Of Orange County by showing a bloodied-up selfie she took the night of her DUI arrest.

    She was booked last September after she crashed her car into a planter box attached to a house and then fled the scene of the accident, with a blood alcohol level recorded at three times the legal limit.

    Shannon was court-ordered to complete a nine-month alcohol program, as well as 36 months of informal probation and 40 hours of community service.

    Since finishing up the program, she has started imbibing again, but has described herself as a ‘two drink max person right now.’

    Shannon was previously married to contractor David Beador, whom she finalized her divorce with in 2019 after 19 years as husband and wife.

    Their relationship problems unfolded in front of reality TV cameras in 2015 when she discovered that he had conducted an affair with another woman.

    She filed for divorce in 2015 and after a tumultuous legal battle she emerged from the proceedings with a $1.4 million settlement and $10,000 of monthly support.

    Luann de Lesseps still blocked by Bethenny Frankel on social media

    Luann de Lesseps and Bethenny Frankel’s friendship is anything but a cabaret.

    The 59-year-old shared that the two are not on good terms despite her and the former Real Housewives of New York star’s run-in over the weekend. 

    ‘After watching Bethenny’s video and still being blocked by her on social media, I realize she just used her daughter to get to me,’ Luann told US Weekly on Monday.

    The reality star added that there ‘wasn’t a genuine reconnection’ with the Skinnygirl founder.

    Elaborating on their encounter in the Hamptons, Luann admitted that at first, she was ‘really happy’ to see Bethenny, 53, but soon after realized their reunion was disingenuous.

    The Crappie Lake star shared that the two are not on good terms despite her and the Real Housewives of New York alum’s photo opp: ‘After watching Bethenny’s video and still being blocked by her on social media, I realize she just used her daughter to get to me’

    The Shark Tank alum posted a clip of Bryn and Luann’s interaction on Instagram, to which the Countess confessed: ‘To watch the video, it hurt my feelings.’

    On Saturday, Luann and Bethenny bumped into one another at talent agent Jason Weinberg’s party and posed for pictures alongside actress Emma Roberts.

    In Bethenny’s video, which was shared on Instagram, Bryn and the Money Can’t Buy You Class singer stand beside each other while the Just B podcast host is filming. 

    ‘What Bryn? I guess life is actually a cabaret,’ the Bravo alum is heard saying as Luann hugs the 14-year-old.

    Fans freaked out in the comments section over this reunion, with one user writing, ‘The way we absolutely LOVE THIS! Didn’t have a reconcile with Lu on my bingo card,’ while another said, ‘I NEED ANDY AND A CAMERA.’ 

    However, in response to Luann’s claims, a source close to The Apprentice alum revealed to Page Six, ‘Bethenny just wishes Luann was drinking a Mingle Mocktail and wearing Chanel,’ – a reference to both Bethenny’s wine brand and her infamous saga with the fashion house.

    ‘She wishes Luann the best summer,’ the insider continued, ‘and says she looks “Forever Young.”‘ 

    After the party, Bethenny dove deeper into their interaction in a TikTok video.

    ‘So, I see Luann, and Bryn gets all devious,’ she explained. ‘My friend Mark is like, “Just say something.” Why not, right? And it is also a good example for Bryn. We have to be good examples. So, I basically said, “Hey, congratulations” and Bryn is there which is a great bridge and she’d be a great diplomat because she bridged my relationship with my mother too.’

    The 59-year-old added that their encounter in the Hampton 'wasn’t a genuine reconnection'

    ‘Luann hugged Bryn.’ Bethenny continued. ‘We had to do it on social media, obviously, because if it didn’t happen there then it didn’t happen anywhere… That was nice. Just clean. She texted me and was like, “We are like some discombobulated family”… So that was pleasant and it’s fun because when I saw Jill [Zarin] on the plane, the fans go crazy. Like people love that.’

    Giving a nod to the American Horror Story star, the mom-of-one added, ‘Emma Roberts doesn’t even realize that she was part of a moment, I’m sure. She was there for the whole thing.’

    Bethenny concluded the story: ‘Emma Roberts is more famous than any of us and a real actress and she’s in the picture with us! It was like Where’s Waldo? Like where is Emma Roberts there? It was just so funny. It was so funny.’

    Meanwhile, Bethenny and Luann have notoriously feuded throughout their time on the original RHONY series before patching things up in 2019. 

    However, in 2023, things turned sour when the Crappie Lake star didn’t side with Bethenny during her fight to unionize reality television stars.

    ‘Now, back to Bethenny. You know, listen, why bite the hand that feeds you?’ Luann asked the audience during a December 2023 cabaret show. ‘You know, just go off into the sunset. You [Bethenny] make millions and gazillions of dollars. If you claim you do, then why are you still harping on us? Why are you talking about us?’

    And back in May, she made it clear she wasn’t looking to clear the air anytime soon after naming a former cast member she wouldn’t want to film with again. 

    ‘Probably Bethenny, to be perfectly honest,’ she told US Weekly. ‘I don’t think she’d come to the table in any case. … I’m not a person that lives in regrets. I think everything happens and I loved all of our fights. It was so good.’

    Bethenny Frankel and Luanne de Lesseps squashed past feud rumors as they reunited at a party in the Hamptons over the weekend. 

    The Skinny Girl mogul, 53, even shared three snaps and a short video to her Instagram feed of their friendly exchange. 

    ‘A bougie Hamptons party by day… tonight it’s a cabaret… Hell hath frozen over and I am being cool and not uncool…,’ Bethenny captioned her post.

    In one snap, she posed with her fellow Real Housewives of New York City star, 59, her daughter Bryn Hoppy, 13, and actress Emma Roberts, 33.

    A different photo showed the two RHONYC alums with Bryn and the third featured the teenager with the two reality TV stars.

    Bethenny also shared a short video clip in the post.  

    In it, de Lesseps is hugging Bryn, while Bethenny – who is filming and off camera – said, ‘Guess what, Bryn?’

    ‘I guess life is actually a cabaret,’ she said, answering herself and referencing her iconic fight with de Lesseps while Luann mouthed the line along with Bethenny. 

    ‘Bethenny and Luann were excited to see each other and wanted to squash their beef. They were able to put their differences aside,’ a source told Page Six of the encounter.

    ‘They had a lovely time catching up. It’s all love and things are good between the ladies; any feud they had is done with,’ the source added.

    The two women have had more than their fair share of disagreements since they met, but by 2019, they had patched things up.

    However, when Bethenny threw shade at Luann’s cabaret show in 2023 – the feud was back on. 

    ‘Feels fairly likely since I [sic] my life isn’t a cabaret,’ Bethenny wrote to a fan on Threads at the time, shading Luann’s cabaret show. 

    And Luann stormed out of a production of Bad Cinderella when she learned Bethenny was also there.  

    They got into it again last summer when Bethenny debuted plans to unionize reality TV stars and Luann wanted nothing to do with it. 

    ‘Now, back to Bethenny. You know, listen, why bite the hand that feeds you?’ Luann asked the audience at one of her cabaret shows in December 2023, Page Six reported, at the time.

    Luann further displayed her feelings for Bethenny during a game of Marry, F**k, Kill with Us Weekly earlier this year.

    ‘I’m gonna marry Dorinda because I want to live at Bluestone Manor,’ she said, given the choice between Bethenny, Dorinda Medley and Ramona Singer. ‘I’m gonna give Ramona a little action and you know I’d kill Bethenny.’

    She added: ‘I’m not a person that lives in regrets,’ she told the outlet. ‘I think everything happens and I loved all of our fights. It was so good.’

    Luann de Lesseps Lost Her Virginity at Senior Prom

    Luann de Lesseps shared the story of how she lost her virginity in a candid new interview. 

    The RHONY alum, 59, revealed that she was a ‘late bloomer’ who ‘didn’t feel confident’ while discussing her dating history with Bustle, in an article published on Wednesday. 

    The TV personality — who was recently linked to Mary-Kate Olsen’s ex-husband — admitted she did not have a ‘boyfriend or have sex until I was 18 years old’ and that she lost her virginity at senior prom to an ‘older’ man. 

    ‘Yeah, I calculated it. We had sex in the car, which is so prom. Jim was older than me but he was very handsome and sweet,’ she shared.

    ‘I thought he was the perfect guy to lose my virginity to because he was good-natured. So that was a great experience, actually. Then it just went on from there: the love affair with boys,’ the star added.

    Speaking about her low confidence as a teenager she said: ‘I was a late bloomer. I didn’t feel confident in my teens. I was taller than all the boys.’

    ‘I remember a boy actually saying, “It’s too bad you’re so tall, because you have such a pretty face.” So I didn’t really have a boyfriend or have sex until I was 18 years old. At prom.’

    These days, the star admits she dates ‘like a man’ and knows what she wants in a relationship.

    She also stated that low libido is not something she struggles with, proclaiming, ‘I love men and I love sex.’ 

    As for her preference in men, Luann admits she sets her sights abroad and on younger men. 

    ‘I love European men. I love Latin men. Americans are tricky,’ the beauty shared, adding that she is living her ‘best cougar life right now.’

    The former nurse also offered insights on how intimacy can vary depending on a partner’s age.

    ‘So the 30-somethings and 40-somethings are into my stuff. The 50-somethings are like, “Oh, s**t, I’m 50. I have to date a 20-year-old.” And the 60-year-olds have a problem in the, as Ramona [Singer] would call it, “lower level.”‘

    Luann has recently been linked to Southern Hospitality’s Joe Bradley, 28.

    During the interview she was asked about Summer House star Danielle Olivera, who said she believes Luann hooked up with Joe, after they met on Watch What Happens Live.

    Luann shared that Joe had been to her apartment but she also had other friends there at the time, and that he did not stay the night.

    However, when asked if she wanted to admit to anything Luann teased, ‘a lady doesn’t kiss and tell’ before calling him ‘very charming and very mature for such a young man’ and later even sharing he was her Bravo crush.

    Luann also set the record straight after she made headlines with Mary-Kate Olsen’s ex-husband, Olivier Sarkozy, 55.

    Luann and Olivier — who is the half-brother of Nicolas Sarkozy, the former President of France — sparked romance rumors in March, as they were spotted enjoying a cozy two-hour lunch in New York City.

    She said she had known him for ‘quite a while’ and met Mary-Kate and him together a couple times.

    The star then said she has not seen him since the lunch date, adding, ‘I’m just dating and having fun, and I’m traveling a lot with the cabaret show.’

    Luann was married to Count Alexandre de Lesseps for 16 years before their split in 2009. She was then married to Tom D’Agostino from 2016 until their divorce in 2017; Seen with Alexandre in 2007

    She also shared that by the time she met her ex-husband Count Alexandre de Lesseps, her sense of confidence was strong.

    ‘We met, got married two weeks later. Five days [into the marriage] he goes, “You’re going to be the mother of my children.” I said, “I already know that.” So it had a lot to do with confidence. If you don’t think you’re great, nobody is going to think you’re great.’

    De Lesseps and Alexandre were married for 16 years before their split in 2009.

    She was then married to Tom D’Agostino from 2016 until their divorce the next year in August 2017.

    Luann de Lesseps Refuses to Film with RHONY Co-Star Who Called Her a ‘Slut’ and a ‘Snake’

    Luann de Lesseps has revealed the Real Housewives Of New York City co-star she would prefer not to film with again.

    ‘I don’t think she’d come to the table in any case,’ noted the 59-year-old reality star, suggesting that the feeling might be mutual.

    The target of Luann’s jibe is a woman who was involved with the show since its debut in 2008 as the second franchise in the Real Housewives sphere.

    She and Luann repeatedly locked horns during and after their time on the series – most recently feuding just a few months ago.

    Now Luann has spilled the name of the former castmate that she intends to steer clear of in future, while speaking with Us Weekly.

    ‘Probably Bethenny, to be perfectly honest,’ said Luann – referring to Skinnygirl founder and ex-reality star Bethenny Frankel.

    ‘I’m not a person that lives in regrets,’ Luann reflected, adding that she ‘loved all of our fights’ from their time on the show.  ‘It was so good.’

    She also played a game of F***, Marry, Kill involving her former co-stars – and the person she decided to kill was Bethenny. 

    Both women were on the very first season of The Real Housewives Of New York City and spent years afterwards swinging from friendship to fallings-out.

    In one especially nasty fight, Bethenny denounced Luann as ‘a slut and a liar and a hypocrite and a snake,’ prompting Luann to call her a ‘piece of s***’ and storm off.

    Bethenny parted ways with the show for the final time in 2019, whereas Luann was jettisoned in 2022 as part of a full cast reboot undertaken amid flagging ratings.

    However Luann has remained in the Bravo fold, featuring on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip as well as a spin-off with her old co-star Sonja Morgan.

    Meanwhile Bethenny veered off in the opposite direction, waging a public war on Bravo impresario Andy Cohen last year while trying to launch a ‘reality reckoning.’

    In the wake of the Hollywood strikes, Bethenny also insisted that reality stars ought to unionize in order to protect their rights.

    Luann was scathing about Bethenny’s efforts in December while performing a cabaret show at the Manhattan supper club 54 Below.

    ‘Now back to Bethenny. You know, listen, why bite the hand that feeds you?’ she said to cheers from the crowd, according to Page Six. ‘Why bite Andy? Why bite NBC?’

    Luann urged Bethenny to ‘just go off into the sunset,’ arguing: ‘You make millions and gazillions of dollars. If you claim you do, then why are you still harping on us? Why are you talking about us?’

    Luann de Lesseps took her new cabaret act to Long Island, New York on Saturday.

    The former Real Housewives of New York star, 58, looked incredible as she captivated the audience at the Paramount venue with her hit show Marry F Kill!

    Rocking an array of fabulously racy ensembles, the brunette beauty — who bashed her former costar Bethenny Frankel at a previous performance — wowed the audience with her one-woman musical before it heads to Los Angeles.

    She took the plunge in a gorgeous black sheer jumpsuit before changing into a glittering gold mini dress. At one point, she belted out her standards in a slinky white wedding dress. 

    The Long Island show comes after Luann and Mary-Kate Olsen’s ex-husband, Olivier Sarkozy set tongues wagging with romance rumors after an intimate lunch date in New York City.

    The singer and the French banker, 54 — who split with Olsen in 2020 — were spotted arm in arm, leaving Le Bilboquet restaurant on March 4. 

    Rocking a fuzzy red jacket and black leather pants, the cabaret singer flashed her megawatt smile as she stayed close to her handsome date, who looked dapper in a dark suede jacket.

    The pair enjoyed each other’s company for nearly two hours at the eatery, according to witnesses.

    The outing comes a few days after the Countess revealed she went on a date with a 62-year-old male model, amid previous buzz that she was seeing Southern Hospitality personality Joe Bradley.

    ‘I actually had a date last night with a guy that’s 62-years-old but really attractive,’ de Lesseps told reporter Derek Zagami on his Instagram account.

    She added of her recent suitor: ‘He continues to model to this day, does very well, is the salt-and-pepper gray.’

    The star described the man who she went out as a ‘husband commercial type of guy, but very nice.’ 

    Luann was recently linked with Southern Hospitality personality Bradley, 28, as an insider told Us Weekly last month that the two appeared to be cozy while spending time with one another at New York City’s Dream Hotel.

    She addressed the night out with her fellow Bravolebrity earlier this month while speaking to TMZ.

    ‘We definitely had great chemistry and we went out to have drinks – what’s wrong with that?’ she told the outlet.

    Acknowledging that Bradley has ‘got a girlfriend’ – he’s been seeing Summer House personality Danielle Olivera, 35 – de Lesseps conceded that they ‘definitely had great chemistry, let’s put it that way.’

    Luann tied the knot with Count Alexandre de Lesseps, the man responsible for her noble title, in 1993. 

    In the span of their 17-year marriage, they welcomed two children, Victoria and Noel. 

    Notably, Luann was still married to the Count when RHONY Season 1 premiered in 2008. However, the following year marked the end of their union as they decided to part ways.

    She would go on to marry Tom D’Agostino Jr. after being introduced by her RHONY co-star Dorinda Medley. However, less than a year after their New Year’s Eve nuptials in 2016, Luann and Tom decided to part ways.

    The former couple had initially married during a small, intimate ceremony, with the former actress later petitioning for divorce in April 2020. 

  • Sonja Morgan Departs WWHL in NYC Following Allegations of Bravo Producers Mocking Her Drinking Habits in New Lawsuit Filed by Leah McSweeney

    Sonja Morgan Departs WWHL in NYC Following Allegations of Bravo Producers Mocking Her Drinking Habits in New Lawsuit Filed by Leah McSweeney

    Sonja Morgan appeared in high spirits as she was spotted leaving the set of Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday.

    For the occasion, the former Real Housewives of New York City star, 60, wore a pair of classic and well-fitting jeans with timeless black blouse, which she kept tucked into a pair of dark-wash jeans.

    The mother-of-one completed her chic outfit off with a black jacket and matching boots. 

    Her long, golden blonde hair was parted off-center with beachy waves and side-swept bangs.

    The socialite’s latest outing comes after her former RHONY costar, Leah McSweeney revealed the alleged nickname that producers and executives used to call Morgan in a new lawsuit against Bravo.

    Sonja Morgan Departs WWHL in NYC Following Allegations of Bravo Producers Mocking Her Drinking Habits in New Lawsuit Filed by Leah McSweeney

    Sonja Morgan was spotted leaving the set of Watch What Happens Live looking chic and happy

    In a legal letter submitted to Bravo on February 27, Leah claimed Bravo producers called Sonja a ‘golden goose’ because she was more than willing to get drunk while the cameras were rolling.

    And she reportedly got a special privilege for being willing to get messy on camera – she was allowed to keep her daughter Quinn Adams Morgan, 23, off the show. 

    However, one Bravo executive said that all changed when Morgan’s ‘excessive alcohol consumption,’ became too much, Leah’s letter stated.

    Barrie Bernstein, an executive producer at Bravo, allegedly told McSweeney that she tired of Morgan’s storyline, because it was becoming ‘pathetic,’ the filing states. 

    Leah’s lawsuit also claims that producers watched idly as a drunk Luann de Lesseps climbed into a car to buy illegal drugs – while also claiming that producers actively encouraged cast members to drink to oblivion in the name of entertainment.

    In 2021, Sonja admitted to going ‘off the rails’ in season 12 with her excessive drinking. 

    During the series, she was singled out during an intervention about her booze habits after she had a screaming altercation with motivational speaker Bershan Shaw that spiraled out of control.

    The spectacle between Sonja and Bershan got so out of hand that they had to be separated by Leah and show producers.

    Sonja eventually quit Real Housewives of New York following season 13, after appearing as a main cast member since 2010. 

    Elsewhere in her lawsuit, Leah also alleged that producers used her worsening mental health in a bid to convince her to relapse from her sobriety. 

    According to the filing, they implied they would ‘help save her child’ from filming obligations, ‘if Ms. McSweeney consumed alcohol.’

    A production source has vehemently denied her claims to DailyMail.com, insisting that, ‘Bravo did everything possible to support Leah’s sobriety and her outlandish claims are not going to get her anything.

    Rocking a fuzzy red jacket and black leather pants, the cabaret singer flashed her megawatt smile as she stayed close to her handsome date, who looked dapper in a dark suede jacket.

    The pair enjoyed each other’s company for nearly two hours at the eatery, according to witnesses.

    The former Real Housewives of New York star, 58, and the French banker, 54 — who split with Olsen in 2020 — were spotted arm in arm, leaving Le Bilboquet restaurant.

    The outing comes a few days after the Countess revealed she went on a date with a 62-year-old male model, amid previous buzz that she was seeing Southern Hospitality personality Joe Bradley.

    ‘I actually had a date last night with a guy that’s 62-years-old but really attractive,’ de Lesseps told reporter Derek Zagami on his Instagram account.

    She added of her recent suitor: ‘He continues to model to this day, does very well, is the salt-and-pepper gray.’

    The star described the man who she went out as a ‘husband commercial type of guy, but very nice.’ 

    Luann was recently linked with Southern Hospitality personality Bradley, 28, as an insider told Us Weekly last month that the two appeared to be cozy while spending time with one another at New York City’s Dream Hotel. 

    The two were ‘all over each other,’ an insider said, after a January 24 Watch What Happens Live taping. 

    She addressed the night out with her fellow Bravolebrity earlier this month while speaking to TMZ. 

    ‘We definitely had great chemistry and we went out to have drinks – what’s wrong with that?’ she told the outlet.

    Acknowledging that Bradley has ‘got a girlfriend’ – he’s been seeing Summer House personality Danielle Olivera, 35 – de Lesseps conceded that they ‘definitely had great chemistry, let’s put it that way.’

    During the reunion episode for Season Two of Southern Hospitality, Bradley discussed his relationship with de Lesseps. He acknowledged the presence of chemistry between them but clarified that there had been no physical intimacy. 

    ‘This is the truth – me and Luann got a drink, and we hit it off,’ Bradley said. ‘I did cross a line at the hotel, but I did not kiss her. We did not hook up.‘

    Luann tied the knot with Count Alexandre de Lesseps, the man responsible for her noble title, in 1993. 

    Their love story began as a whirlwind, with Luann reminiscing during a RHONY special episode in 2016, ‘After the fifth day, he said, ‘Marry me.’ I lived in a fairy tale, too good to be true.’

    In the span of their 17-year marriage, they welcomed two children, Victoria and Noel. 

    Notably, Luann was still married to the Count when RHONY Season 1 premiered in 2008. However, the following year marked the end of their union as they decided to part ways.

    She would go on to marry Tom D’Agostino Jr. after being introduced by her RHONY co-star Dorinda Medley.

    However, less than a year after their New Year’s Eve nuptials in 2016, Luann and Tom decided to part ways.

    Meanwhile, Olivier tied the knot with renowned actress and fashion mogul Mary Kate in 2015. 

    The former couple had initially tied the knot in NYC back in 2015 during a small, intimate ceremony, with the former actress later petitioning for divorce in April 2020. 

    According to The U.S. Sun, the day after filing, Mary-Kate had requested an emergency divorce order upon claiming that Sarkozy was forcing her to vacate their home. Nine months after splitting, their divorce was finalized in January 2021. 

    Although the two never had children of their own, the businesswoman had become stepmother to Olivier’s two kids, Margot and Julien, whom he welcomed from a previous marriage to Charlotte Bernard. 

    Back in 2017, the star briefly opened up to Porter Magazine about her rather private life as a wife and mother. ‘We’re lucky [working hard] comes quite naturally for us,’ she stated at the time. 

    ‘We don’t need so much time to sit and think and ponder. But then I have a husband, two step-kids and a life. I have to go home and cook dinner.’ 

    Olsen added, ‘I ride horses on the weekends. You find the thing that helps you relax and if you don’t have it, you have to look for it. Or you get burned out and then you’re not productive.’ 

    At the time of the divorce announcement, a source informed People about the reasonings behind the separation, stating that the topic of children was one of the issues. ‘A few years ago, having a baby was not a priority for her. This has changed.’

    Another insider stated that her career was also a problem within the relatioship. ‘Mary-Kate is extremely hard working and focused on her business.’ 

    Their union garnered attention due to the significant age gap of about 17 years, with Olsen being born in 1986 and Sarkozy in 1969.. 

    However, after nearly five years of marriage, the couple filed for divorce in 2020.

    It wasn’t until nearly a year later that Olsen and Sarkozy officially reached a settlement

    Luann de Lesseps, 58, and Southern Hospitality star Joe Bradley, 28, spotted getting cozy after flirty WWHL appearance, despite him cooling things off with Danielle Olivera, 35

    Luann de Lesseps reportedly got cozy with Southern Hospitality star Joe Bradley following their joint appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday.

    The former Real Housewives of New York star, 58, and Bradley, 28, were ‘all over each other’ at The Dream Hotel in New York City, according to US Weekly. 

    The pair allegedly went to the hotel bar after ‘getting flirty’ during a pre-taped episode of WWHL earlier that evening. 

    A source close to Bradley, however, denied the eyewitness’ account, per the outlet.  

    The reported canoodling raised eyebrows as it came hours after Bradley said he was ‘pressing the brakes’ on his recent romance with Summer House’s Danielle Olivera, 35.

    Luann de Lesseps (left in 2023) reportedly got cozy with Southern Hospitality star Joe Bradley (right in 2023) following their joint appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday 

    The reality TV stars have been romantically linked following their encounter at BravoCon in November 2023. 

    Despite the love connection, Joe told Us Weekly that he’s ‘kind of pressing the brakes a little bit.’

    ‘I just want to make sure we’re in the right place before I’m officially, like, “I’m your boyfriend, you’re my girlfriend,”‘ he said on Tuesday. 

    ‘I don’t want to get hurt, but more importantly, I don’t want to see her get hurt, and I just want to be in the best place possible before we make a hard launch.’

    He mentioned having ‘a lot going on’ and expressed the need to ensure that he’s personally in a place where he can ‘prioritize’ Danielle. 

    ‘I was kind of telling my friends and my mom earlier, I adore Danielle and I’ve never hit it off with someone so fast to the point where she’s been to Charleston twice,’ he continued on Tuesday.

    ‘This is my third time up here [in New York City] and even if I wasn’t here for WWHL, I would’ve come up to visit her this week. But, I think we moved a little too fast.’

    If Joe does embark on a romance with Luann, their age gap seems to be of no consequence, as he had previously dismissed the 7-year gap with Danielle.

    ‘Age doesn’t matter, but I think what stage in your life matters,’ he told the outlet. 

    ‘My career is just getting started in [the] food and bev [industry], and I think, hopefully, I’m going to own my own business [one day]. [Danielle} already owns her own app.’

    In December, Joe admitted he and Danielle had hooked up at BravoCon. 

    ‘It was just organic,’ Bradley told Page Six. ‘We were at Watch What Happens Live in the green room, and we were making eye contact and just a gravitational pull, and then on the last night we hooked up.’

    Since parting ways with Robert Sieber in fall 2022, Olivera briefly dated Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Alex Propson during the filming of Winter House in March 2023.

    To shield her face from the sun, she sported a cream fedora over her wet hair and also donned a pair of wayfarer sunglasses.

    At one point, she threw on a boho-chic, patterned button-down as a swimsuit coverup.

    Just days earlier, she was spotted hugging a tall, dark-haired mystery man during her getaway.

    On the same day, she took to her Instagram to share a photo of him giving her a kiss on the cheek alongside the caption: ‘Not mad at #Mexico’. 

    She had also posted a photo of her with her many gal pals at sunset as well as her playing beach volleyball with them during the day. 

    This time last year, Luann was also spotted kicking off the new year with a mystery man for a beachside rendezvous in Mexico.

    However, she insinuated she was single in an interview with Rolling Stone in mid-December about her upcoming cabaret show.

    She admitted to the outlet that she was keen on starring in her own reality dating show.

    ‘Wouldn’t it be interesting to see someone charm the socks off of the Countess?’ she explained.

    Toying with the idea, she said she would love to grill her love interests and say things like: ‘Did you not open the door for me? Why did you order that? What is that shirt you have?

    ‘It would certainly beat dating online,’ she added.

    Previously, Luann was married to French Count, Alexandre de Lesseps, from 1993 until their divorce in 2009.

    The former couple share two children together — 27-year-old son Noel and 29-year-old daughter Victoria.

    She later tied the knot for the second time with Tom D’Agostino Jr. in 2016, but they divorced the following year in 2017.

    ‘I’m a hopeless romantic. I’m not afraid to love. And I married and I don’t regret anything,’ the singer told Us Weekly in 2018 when opening up about the one-year marriage.
