Earlier this month, de Lesseps was accused by the Florida Department of Corrections for not providing sufficient evidence of meeting the terms of her probation.
They alleged that she did not provide documentation of completing Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and that she failed an alcohol test in April.
de Lesseps spoke out after the news broke, saying “I take my sobriety very seriously and like many in my situation, it is a daily struggle. I remain committed to doing whatever it takes to continue living a healthy sober lifestyle.”
She reportedly did not enroll in a treatment program due to her busy touring schedule with her cabaret show, Countess and Friends.
