Luann de Lesseps Responds to Rumor She's Quitting 'RHONY' Amid Reboot (Exclusive)

'The Real Housewives of New York City' OG Luann de Lesseps video chats with ET to break down the shakeup coming to the Bravo show, after the network announced 'RHONY' would be split in two: a reboot with an all-new cast and a new spinoff focused on the legacy 'Wives. Luann reacts to rumors she's not interested in returning to the franchise, shutting down that speculation -- but noting she does not yet have a deal in place to hold an apple again. The reality star also responds to reports that she's signed on for a different TV gig, hinting at a possible talk show with fellow 'Real Housewives' alumni. The 'Money Can't Buy You Class' singer goes on to share advice to the women who will inherit the flagship show, and weighs in on whether Ramona Singer -- who's become controversial with the viewers -- should come back for the new 'throwback' series. Luann also speaks to her recent 'slip-up' with alcohol and explains what it's like to navigate sobriety in the spotlight. While she awaits news on filming 'RHONY,' Luann is hard at work on her new cabaret show and the expansion of her alcohol-alternative, Fosé. She's also part of a new NFT campaign with Fanaply, the 'Oh Marilyn' collection curated by fashion photographer Ezequiel De La Rosa. Sales from the eco-friendly NFTs will benefit the non-profit organization, The Helping Angels.
