Luann de Lesseps teases ‘sexy’ hookups with pirates on ‘RHUGT: RHONY Legacy’
Ahoy, mateys.
Luann de Lesseps reveals in a new interview with Page Six that romantic connections will be made with pirates on the upcoming season of “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy.”
“It’s great, because we kind of go back in time,” the reality star, who had a rendezvous with a pirate herself on Season 5 of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” tells us.
“The OGs are going back to St. Barts, so it’s kind of a little ‘Scary Island’ meets some pirates.”
When asked if there will be any hookups with the rugged seamen, de Lesseps, 58, responds, “Oh, of course.”
The “Masked Singer” contestant, who was eliminated on Wednesday night’s show as Hibiscus, did not reveal which of her castmates have a fling on her upcoming Bravo show.
However, de Lesseps says there will be a lot of moments in which they “break” the fourth wall, meaning they will pull back the curtain on some of the behind-the-scenes gossip that took place over the years.
“It’s a real fun [show],” she adds. “Of course, drama is involved, but, really, I think more fun than anything and a lot of reminiscing. It’s sexy, it’s a sexy show. I think people are going to really love it.”
A trailer for “RHUGT: RHONY Legacy,” released on Nov. 5, showed that de Lesseps, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan, Kristen Taekman and Ramona Singer return to the same villa where they filmed a cast trip during “RHONY” Season 5 and where the “Money Can’t Buy You Class” singer met her original pirate, Tomas Ribeiro.
“We have 10 guys showing up. 10 guys!” Singer, 66, exclaims in the teaser clip.
De Lesseps shared at BravoCon 2023 in Las Vegas last weekend that she received a call from her “OG” pirate while filming “RHUGT,” but he is sporting a very different look these days.

“He lives in Miami now and he cut his hair short,” the Countess told the audience. “I would not recognize him if I saw him walking down the street. He wears a suit now … he looks like an investment banker.”
When moderator Michael Rapaport asked her which version she prefers, de Lesseps responded, “He looked much better as Johnny Depp,” referencing the actor’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” role.
Aside from her upcoming Bravo show and “Masked Singer” appearance, which she describes to us as a “fun show” but also a big “challenge,” de Lesseps has a new cabaret tour, “Marry, F–k, Kill,” kicking off at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on Feb. 16, 2024.
“I have an amazing director, Richard J. Alexander, who has worked with Kristin Chenoweth and Bette Midler and Barbra Streisand,” the Bravolebrity shares.
“I’m working with the best people in the business. The music is personal to me … I take classic music and I turn it on its head and I kind of make it my own. It’s cabaret meets comedy meets pop culture.”
