Real Housewives of NYC's Luann arrested for drunkenly kicking cop
Luann de Lesseps from Real Housewives of New York City will be waking up with a lot of post-booze regret on Christmas Day after being arrested in Florida on Sunday for allegedly kicking a cop.
The reality TV star issued a public apology saying her visit to exclusive Palm Beach brought up "long-buried emotions."
Palm Beach County court records show 52-year-old Luann de Lesseps was booked on charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence, disorderly intoxication and corruption by threat.
De Lesseps, who lives in Sag Harbor, New York, was released on her own recognizance, according to jail records. She's due back in court Jan. 25.
The circumstances of de Lesseps' arrest late Saturday in Palm Beach were not immediately available but the Daily Mail reports the state's attorney said de Lesseps told people before she was arrested 'I'm going to kill you all.'
The Palm Beach Post reported that a prosecutor said de Lesseps slammed a door and kicked at least one police officer, and she made threatening comments before she was arrested.
In a statement emailed by her spokesman Pete Sanders, de Lesseps offered her sincere apologies to anyone she might have offended with her behaviour.
"This was my first time in Palm Beach since my wedding and being there brought up long-buried emotions," she said.
She said she was committed to a "transformative and hopeful 2018."
De Lesseps married Tom D'Agostino Jr. in Palm Beach on New Year's Eve. The couple split earlier this year.
Messages left Sunday morning for a Palm Beach Police spokesman were not immediately returned.
