Apparently, Kyle Richards isn’t the only Real Housewives star to have allegedly dipped her toes in the lady pond recently, as RHONY alum Luann de Lesseps admitted she’s also had a lesbian experience recently that she was “not expecting.”
The conversation came up on an episode of the Humble Brag with Crystal and Cynthia podcast, which started in October by fellow Real Housewives alumnus Crystal Minkhoff from RHOBH and Cynthia Bailey from RHOA. De Lesseps served as their first official guest in December and the convo turned Sapphic.
Go on, we're listening.
On the episode, during a game of “Eff, Marry, Kill,” when asked if she’d ever dabbled with another woman, de Lesseps admitted to having an experience a couple of summers ago. Although the hosts pressed to see if it was love at first sight, de Lesseps said that wasn’t exactly how it went down.
“She was really more turned on to me,” she said. “She came toward me.”
As to why she went along with it, she said, “I was like, ‘You know what? I’d like to experience everything at least once.”
She went on to explain that, usually, she also has no problem kissing her closest girlfriends on the lips, which both of the hosts confirmed, and that there’s nothing to it when she does. Regardless, she confirms that, despite her experience, she hasn’t decided to pursue her interest in women any further.
“I’m all about the boys,” she said. “I did it just because she really wanted me, and I thought, ‘You know, when am I ever going to have that experience like that again? Where I felt like it would be just fine with her?'”
She concluded the story by, ahem, not-so-humble bragging, “I showed her the time of her life.”
While we may not ever know the identity of the mysterious woman de Lesseps felt comfortable exploring with, we’re glad that she allowed herself the opportunity to be open-minded when the time felt right and that she felt comfortable sharing her experience with the rest of the world.
