As previously reported, Luann was arrested for disorderly conduct and battery against a police officer — the source reveals that the incident may even help de Lesseps get more air time — after she was found in bed with a man in a random hotel room.
“It won’t [jeopardize her position on the show]. Reality loves reality,” a source told Page Six.
Luann de Lesseps released a statement apologizing after her arrest in Palm Beach, Florida, for battery, intoxication and resisting arrest on Sunday, December 24.
“I want to offer my sincere apologies to anyone I might have offended with my behavior,” the Real Housewives of New York City star, 52, said in a statement to Us Weekly. “This was my first time in Palm Beach since my wedding and being there brought up long-buried emotions. I am committed to a transformative and hopeful 2018.”
I want to offer my most sincere apologies to anyone that I might have offended with my behavior. This was my first time in Palm Beach since my wedding and being here brought up buried emotions. I am committed to a transformative and hopeful 2018— Luann de Lesseps (@CountessLuann) December 24, 2017
As previously reported, Luann was taken into custody in the early hours of Sunday morning, after allegedly kicking a police officer.
The Palm Beach Post reports that Luann allegedly told people, “I’m going to kill you all,” before her arrest.
She was released without bond after appearing before a judge who told her not to incriminate herself by saying anything when he suggested that she might have a drinking problem.
De Lesseps was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest with violence and crimes against a person — three of the four charges are felonies. She is due back in court on January 25.
