“This week, after a regrettable incident I was faced with the truth,” she wrote in her post. “I want to apologize to the staff at Townhouse and anyone else I may have offended by my behavior.”

“Clearly my struggles with alcohol are real!” Luann continued. “While I’ve made great strides over the years, there’s been times I’ve fallen. It’s one day at a time! I’m in recovery and taking steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again.”

She concluded her message by writing, “I’m grateful to my family and my friends for their constant support.”

Luann received support from her fellow Real Housewives in the comments, with Beverly Hills‘ Lisa Rinna wrote, “Sending you love ❤️,” while former RHONY star Kelly Bensimon added, “We love you and support you!”

The reality star’s sobriety has been a subject on RHONY since she was arrested for disorderly intoxication in 2017. She subsequently entered an alcohol treatment center.
