Luann de Lesseps is opening up for the first time about her impending divorce from husband Tom D’Agostino and the “final straw” that led to their breakup. As previously reported, The Real Housewives of New York City star is sitting down with Andy Cohen for a special “One-On-One” episode of Watch What Happens Live, which will be airing on September 6.
The episode was taped from Luann’s house in Sag Harbor, New York, the candid backyard conversation will have Luann opening up about the final days of her marriage in this exclusive clip courtesy via PEOPLE — including the red flags she ignored, the rumors that questioned Tom’s loyalty, and what ultimately caused their separation.
Luann was married to a man who on the surface looked like he didn’t really want to be married. Those rumors eventually split them apart, Luann tells Cohen on the special.
“It was the weekend before the reunion [aired], basically,” she says, when asked if there was one things that led to their split. “Tom went out and he called up an old girlfriend and they met up with a group of people. And I didn’t know about it — I found out about it the next day in the press.
“That for me was like, the final straw,” she continues. “I was like, ‘I can’t do this anymore.’ ”
Elsewhere in the episode she also opens up about a public argument the two had at Le Bilboquet restaurant in July, which reportedly got so bad that Luann slapped Tom.
“I didn’t slap him,” she tells Cohen, clearing up the rumors. “What I did was grab his face. It was in the heat of the moment and I was hurt about something. I wanted his attention and I grabbed his face. It wasn’t really a slap.”
