Though de Lesseps appeared to complete her community service, probation officers claimed in their report that de Lesseps failed her alcohol test and later admitted to “drinking 2 glasses of mimosas after a performance she had in Chicago.”
In response, de Lesseps was “offered to immediately enroll in outpatient treatment and she declined due to her touring schedule,” the documents stated. She was “also given the option to be fitted with an alcohol ankle monitoring device in which she declined stated that it is too intrusive.”
The cabaret star addressed her legal troubles onWatch What Happens Livein July, explaining to host Andy Cohen that she was near the end of her probation and ready to move forward.
“The outcome was that I got stricter probation rules until the end of August, so I’m almost done,” she said. “Then this will be behind me, 100 percent. But I paid very dearly, for the last year, for one very big mistake.”
“I’ll be glad to put it behind me and I feel like I really learned a lot about myself in this year,” she said. “It’s been more than a year. I look at it right now as kind of a blessing, believe it or not, because it really made me step back and take a look at my drinking, etc. I feel fortunate.”
