THE SOUL KNOWS –
Nov. 29, 2021 – The road to sobriety hasn’t been an easy one for de Lesseps. She went into rehab after the arrest, but it didn’t seem to take. She was soon drinking again, which ultimately led to a breakup with her then-boyfriend. She returned to rehab, but the second stint didn’t take, either. In 2019, once de Lesseps completed all of her probation requirements, she was back to drinking once more. As she once admitted on “Megyn Kelly Today” (via Page Six), “I feel like I’m almost allergic to alcohol, because I can’t be like most normal people and have a glass or two of wine. I’m like, ‘I’ll drink the whole bottle,’ and then I’m looking: ‘Where can I get another bottle?’”When COVID-19 turned everyone’s lives upside-down, de Lesseps, like so many others, took the time to re-evaluate her priorities, and she finally realized that she’d better stop putting booze first. After issuing a tearful, televised apology to her daughter, Victoria, in a dramatic RHONY episode last summer, de Lesseps now tells People “”My daughter is one of my biggest supporters.”
