RHONY’s Luann de Lesseps Denies Getting Kicked Out of Gay Bar After “Drunkenly” Singing as Sources Share What Allegedly Happened

Luann de Lesseps was accused of drunkenly offering a series of impromptu and unwelcome performances at a gay piano bar on Wednesday night, where she told upset patrons “f-ck you.” However, according to The Real Housewives of New York City cast member, she wasn’t kicked out of the venue.
