Saying goodbye to alcohol clearly agrees with your body, and Real Housewives of NYC star Luann de Lesseps is proving it firsthand. The TV star posted a boomerang on Instagram recently where she absolutely sizzled in a white string bikini, which she wore for breakfast.

In her boomerang video, the star can be seen shaking it for the camera in her hotel room at the London West Hollywood, showing off her fit physique in a sexy white string bikini.


The mother of two is returning to New York just ahead of her April 13 court date where she could be possibly facing jail time for a series of charges stemming from her December 24 arrest in Palm Beach, Florida. The reality star is facing felony charges for resisting an officer with violence and received misdemeanor charges of trespassing and disorderly intoxication. 


In a recent conversation with ET, the reality star opened up about the incident and spoke about how she's now changing her lifestyle for the better.

“If I had just gone to the right hotel room, it would have just changed everything, but I didn't, and there was a reason why it happened to me,” said de Lesseps, who rejected a plea deal in February. “It really taught me a lot about myself.” 


The TV star added that the incident emboldened her resolve to get herself checked into rehab, adding that  "embarrassing" experience was a total "out-of-control moment."

“So, that's when I decided to go to rehab and address the issues I was having in my life, because I just felt like it was an out-of-control moment for me, and I don't like to be out of control,” she continued. “It was very embarrassing and all I can say is that it changed my life in such a way now. I just feel like so much more control and happier.” 


She even admitted that she was overindulging in alcohol due to her split from husband Tom D'Agostino. “I was using alcohol to numb myself, and now that I’m aware of that, I don’t foresee that I am going to have this problem again,” she shared, adding that she’s currently sober. “Right now, I’m just not into drinking, because I feel so much happier without it.”

"Thank god for yoga and my music,” she expressed.
