Luann de Lesseps isn’t shying away from the rumors that she slept with Southern Hospitality’s Joe Bradley.
During a chat with Jeff Lewis on his radio show, Jeff Lewis Live, the Real Housewives of New York OG hinted that something steamy happened with Joe behind the scenes. News of their alleged rendevous first hit the streets in early 2024 when a source spotted them all over each other at The Dream Hotel in NYC.
To make matters worse, Joe had just professed his love for Summer House star Danielle Olivera a few months earlier. “It was an instantaneous connection,” Joe said about the moment he met Danielle at BravoCon 2023. Shortly after, he cut the strings with her to focus on himself. During all of this, Luann and Joe vehemently denied the rumors. But did Luann have a change of heart?
Luann says Joe DID visit her apartment in New York City…
In February 2024, Luann admitted to having “chemistry” with Joe while appearing on Andy Cohen’s late-night show, Watch What Happens Live. However, she said their connection went no further than drinks.
“He did not sleep over my house,” she said. “People love to think those things, of course they do, it’s sexy talk. [But] he has a girlfriend.”
When she spoke with Jeff, her story didn’t change, but she did add another interesting detail.
“Well, we just had a nightcap. We had fun, we were dancing,” Luann began, “and that was it,” she finished with a wink. The reality star continued, saying, “He came over, but that doesn’t mean he slept over.”
Some of Joe’s co-stars, including TJ Dinch, said he was “99 percent” sure Joe hooked up with Luann during his trip to NYC. When Danielle spoke with Andy on a WWHL episode, she agreed, saying Joe and Luann’s taping was “wildly uncomfortable to watch.”
“There’s so much that happened after that,” she said. “The lying. I mean, Joe stayed at my apartment for two nights after the alleged sleepover. He lied to my face and said like, ‘Absolutely not, I would never do such a thing.’”
So, what’s the truth, Luann? It’ll set you free if you let us in on it.
