#RHONY Luann de Lesseps Reveals What Ended Her Marriage and Led To Divorce From Cheating Tom D’Agostino!
Luann de Lesseps will open up to Andy Cohen about her split from husband, Thomas D’Agostino Jr., the Real Housewives of New York star revealing the “final straw” that ended her seven month long marriage. The “one-on-one” special episode of Watch What Happens Live will air September 6th.
The candid convo took place in the backyard of the reality star’s Sag Harbor home, where Luann discussed the ultimate crash and burn of her marriage — and how red flags and rumors played into the decision to split.
Fans of the Bravo hit watched the couple’s whirlwind romance survive a public cheating scandal, exposed smack in the middle of the Bravo spotlight. Tom was later busted in numerous dodgy comments, captured by Bravo microphones. Fans tirelessly chimed in, amping the social media dialogue about the controversial relationship.
The former countess explained just how Tom’s behavior finally ended their fairy tale for good.
“It was the weekend before the reunion [aired] basically,” Luann says. “Tom went out and he called up an old girlfriend and they met up with a group of people. And I didn’t know about it — I found out about it the next day in the press.”
“That for me was like, the final straw,” Luann adds. “I was like, ‘I can’t do this anymore.’ ”
Luann, 52, also addresses reports alleging that a physical altercation went down between the pair at Le Bilboquet restaurant, in July.
“I didn’t slap him,” Luann clarifies. “What I did was grab his face. It was in the heat of the moment and I was hurt about something. I wanted his attention and I grabbed his face. It wasn’t really a slap.”
On August 3rd, Luann formally announced the split on Twitter, but denied that she believed Tom had been unfaithful.
“I do not think cheated on me, definitely not,” Luann told Page Six, at the time. “God knows he’s got himself in some trouble in the past, but I don’t believe that continued [while we were married].”
”It was impossible, we were having problems and we tried really hard to fix things, and we finally came to the conclusion it was just not going to work,” she continued. “It was a tough decision and we are both very sad about it. But the truth is we just weren’t getting along.”
The Real Housewives of New York wraps tonight with the third installment of the reunion series, at 8:00 p.m., ET, on Bravo.
