After the Real Housewives of New York City star's date got up to go to the bar during a party at Serafina East Hampton, heiress Bettina Zikha attempted to take over the seat. After De Lesseps informed her the seat was taken, Zikha threw her arms in the air and proceeded to scream at the reality star.
“The party was very crowded and there were not enough seats," an eyewitness revealed to Page Six on Sept. 23. "Bettina had a plate of food and wanted to sit, but LuAnn said the chair was taken and her date had just gone to the bar. Bettina then yelled right in front of the crowd ... She threw a fit, waving her arms.”
LuAnn De Lesseps Is "Happy To Be Back" On 'RHONY'
Last week, the New York Daily News reported De Lesseps would be returning to her official housewife role on The Real Housewives of New York City. Following the show's fifth season, De Lesseps was demoted to a recurring role. However, after being "begged back" by producers, she has reportedly signed on for a full-time role on season seven.
Responding to the story, Zikha said, “I had been sitting in that seat and I got up to get some more food, then I came back and she [LuAnn] said, ‘You can’t sit there.’ It was a little strange, but it wasn’t a big deal. It was a misunderstanding.”
