The Class With the Countess author has already reunited with her RHONY cast members. In a since-deleted Instagram post, Ramona Singer posted a photo with de Lesseps, Bethenny Frankel, Tinsley Mortimer, Sonja Morgan, Carole Radziwill and Dorinda Medley. “The gang’s all here! #reunited,” Singer captioned the photo.
As previously reported, de Lesseps was arrested in the early hours of December 24 in Palm Beach, Florida. She was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence, disorderly intoxication and corruption by threat. Us Weekly confirmed on January 2 that de Lesseps entered a plea of not guilty.
The reality TV personality apologized on December 25, blaming her behavior on the end of her seven-month marriage to Tom D’Agostino Jr. “I want to offer my most sincere apologies to anyone that I might have offended with my behavior,” she told Us at the time. “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.”
Days later, she announced that she was planning to check into rehab. “After the events of last Saturday night in Palm Beach, I am truly embarrassed,” de Lesseps told Us on December 29. “I have decided to seek professional guidance and will be voluntarily checking into an alcohol treatment center. I intend to turn this unfortunate incident into a positive life changing event.”
Despite fan speculation to the contrary, a source close to RHONY told Us last month that de Lesseps will not be fired from the Bravo series following her arrest.
