Leah McSweeney is coming to Tinsley Mortimer's defense after it was revealed that the former Real Housewives of New York City star and Coupon Cabin CEO Scott Kluth split, ending their engagement.
McSweeney supported Mortimer by sharing a meme from the Sex and the City movie to Instagram. The moment in question featured Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) yelling, “I curse the day you were born!” at Big (Chris Noth) after he broke Carrie Bradshaw’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) heart, according to Us Weekly.
“Mood,” the Married to the Mob designer captioned her post. “#MENARETRASH.
She later removed the hashtag from her caption and updated it to read, “Had to delete my trash # Because people are trying to have this post removed for hate speech. LOL. Proving my # is very true.”
In the comment section of the post, Mortimer showed her appreciation and thanked her pal for the love and support. “Love you beyond! You’re a dear true friend.” McSweeney, in turn, replied, “Love you” alongside several red heart emojis.
The news comes after Kluth confirmed the split after he released a statement to Us Weekly on Thursday, March 18. “After fourteen months of engagement, Tinsley and I have ended our relationship, and we have been living independently for the last few months,” the Coupon Cabin CEO said. “This was an incredibly difficult decision, but it is one that I believe is best for both of us. I will always care about Tinsley, and I sincerely wish her happiness and success in all that she does in the future.”
He added, “While I understand this news will be of interest to many, I ask for privacy and understanding during this time as I continue to work on recovering emotionally from the end of our relationship.”
A source told Us Weekly that the split has been “devastating” for Mortimer, adding, “He completely blindsided her.”
Mortimer and Kluth met in February 2017 on a blind date set up by her then RHONY co-star Carole Radziwill. They broke up that October and got back together soon after, only to split again in June 2018.
The former couple continued to have an on-off relationship in the months that followed before getting engaged in November 2019. Mortimer subsequently quit the Bravo reality series to be with her then-fiancé.
