"The Real Housewives of New York City" star Luann de Lesseps pleads not guilty to all the charges filed against her after her disorderly conduct in Palm Beach last Dec. 24.
On early morning of Christmas Eve, the 52-year-old reality star was arrested after trespassing a hotel room with a man, who was later identified by de Lessep's friend Julie Olson as someone the RHONY star previously dated.
According to a police report obtained by E! News, the pair entered the room while a housekeeping staff was completing a turn down service. A security guard allegedly asked them multiple times to leave the room, to no avail, forcing him to ask for back-up from a couple of police officers.
The cops said that instead of leaving, de Lesseps, who smelled of alcohol, ran and locked herself in the bathroom. When the security guard tried to unlock the door, de Lesseps opened it before he did. An officer then tried to detain her, but she pushed him away with her palm, then immediately shut the door on his face, hitting him on the forehead.
When she was finally brought out of the bathroom, the TV personality reportedly resisted arrest several more times, by "pushing and pulling away" while she was being put on handcuffs, and slipping out of it and trying to leave the patrol car she was in. Police added that de Lesseps repeatedly threatened to kill all of them.
She is charged for disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest, and battery of a law enforcement officer, before being released on her own recognizance just before noon.
According to TMZ, de Lesseps entered a not guilty plea in Florida, days before the end of 2017.
De Lesseps has since apologized for the incident, explaining that being in Palm Beach since her wedding to now ex-husband Tom D'Agostino brought up "buried emotions."
In a recent Twitter post, the mother of two also revealed that she was checking into an alcohol treatment facility "to turn this unfortunate incident into a positive life changing event."
