RHONY Cast Take Prison-Style Bootcamp (and Get Mugshots) as Luann De Lesseps Remains in Rehab
Tinsley Mortimer had one first. Then Luann de Lesseps. And as of Friday, it appears every cast member of The Real Housewives of New York City has a mugshot of her own.
Reality stars Bethenny Frankel, Ramona Singer, Carole Radziwill, Sonja Morgan, Dorinda Medley and Mortimer poked fun at the headlines by posing for mugshots of their own — shots that were later shared on social media.
The cheeky pictures came courtesy of ConBody, a prison-style bootcamp studio in New York City that hires formerly incarcerated people to teach fitness classes.
A source tells PEOPLE the cast filmed a scene there with ConBody creator Coss Marte and senior trainer Sultan Malik for RHONY‘s upcoming season 10, which is expected to air sometime this spring.
Of course, as tough as the class was and as serious as they looked in their mugshots, the RHONY cast seemed to be having tons of fun as they posed with their photographs.
“Armed & Dangerous,” Radziwill, 54, wrote on Instagram, captioning a photo of their collective pics.
“Fun with the girls,” added Singer, 61, in the caption to her group shot.
Missing from the action was de Lesseps, who checked herself into a treatment facility in late December following her arrest days earlier.
The 52-year-old former Countess was detained in the early morning hours of Dec. 24 and was released on her own recognizance that same day after allegedly attacking a police officer in Palm Beach.
She was charged with and pleaded not guilty to disorderly intoxication, battery on an officer/firefighter/EMT, resisting arrest with violence and threatening a public servant, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. Her mugshot made the rounds on the internet in the wake of the incident. (Radziwill appeared to reference this in her Instagram post Friday, with the hashtag #TooSoon?)
De Lesseps had allegedly been discovered trespassing in a hotel room with an unidentified man, according to a police report. The pair had entered the wrong room at the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach and refused to leave. Police say de Lesseps allegedly slammed a door and kicked at least one officer. She also allegedly told the police, “I’m going to kill you all.”
“After the events of last Saturday night in Palm Beach, I am truly embarrassed,” de Lesseps said in a statement to PEOPLE as she checked herself into rehab. “I have decided to seek professional guidance and will be voluntarily checking into an alcohol treatment center. I intend to turn this unfortunate incident into a positive life changing event. Once again, I sincerely apologize for my actions. I have the greatest respect for police officers and the job they do. My actions alleged in the police report do not reflect my core values and my law abiding character.”
“I am so grateful for the love and support that I am receiving from my family, friends and loyal supporters,” she continued.
Meanwhile, Mortimer’s mugshot came from an April 2016 arrest for trespassing at ex-boyfriend Alexander “Nico” Fanjul’s Palm Beach home.
The former couple had a tumultuous on-and-off relationship relationship since they began dating in December 2012 prior to her April 2016 arrest, including an incident on Christmas Day in 2013 which found Mortimer hospitalized with head lacerations.
“I had moments of feeling like I wasn’t going to make it,” Mortimer, 42, told PEOPLE in March of her relationship with Fanjul. “I was going to be one of those tragic stories you see on TV. I’m so grateful and I feel so lucky. That’s my past and I learned from it. I will never put myself in that situation again.”
Since then, Mortimer has been able to find humor in her mugshot. She referenced it in her RHONY season 9 tagline too, joking, “A good set of lashes can fix anything…even a mugshot.”
