“The Real Housewives of New York” star Luann de Lesseps has responded to claims she was kicked out of a gay piano bar in Manhattan, New York City, on Wednesday night.

De Lesseps was said to have been asked to leave Townhouse after being booed for drunkenly singing “jumbled versions of songs.” The reality TV star has since told Daily Mail, “I went out and I was feeling all Jovani but clearly money can’t buy you class, especially with an audience who doesn’t appreciate my music,” adding that there is “certainly no girl code anymore.” She went on, “But I live to see another day — chic cest la vie!” referencing the title of her single. “Long live fun nights out in New York City.” READ MORE: Countess Luann de Lesseps Promises ‘Real Housewives Of New York’ Will ‘Come Back Stronger Than Ever’ She also told Page Six, who first reported the story, on Thursday: “I was at rehearsals all day yesterday [for her upcoming cabaret show at Feinstein’s/54 Below], then went to dinner with Broadway producers.

We were in a celebratory mood and drinking champagne.” De Lesseps, who has struggled with alcohol in the past, said she went to the piano bar with “Kinky Boots” producer Jim Kierstead at around 10:30 p.m., and “there were a bunch of people singing, and it was a fun, boisterous crowd.” “I got up and sang a few Broadway songs they were playing,” she continued. “I realize I was a little bit tipsy, but we were having fun, and it was getting late.

I’d been rehearsing, and I was in the mood to sing a few songs. Then Jim said to me, ‘Lu, I have an early rehearsal,’ and then we left around midnight, 11:30 p.m.” READ MORE: Luann De Lesseps Talks ‘Housewives All-Stars’, Dating Apps & Meeting A ‘Very Cute Guy’ In Mexico Her comments
