‘RHONY’ Alum Heather Thomson Dishes On ‘Scary’ Behind-The-Scenes Details (EXCLUSIVE)
Fans of Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise know the ladies can really let loose once they get their hands on a little booze, but who knew their parties could get out of control? In Touch Weekly exclusively sat down with Real Housewives of New York alum Heather Thomson, who left the cast after Season 6 because of what she called “forced drama,” and she dished about all of the raunchy behind-the-scenes details about the hardcore partying that goes on — things that fans don’t get to see.
“I’m no prude — I love a good party,” the 48-year-old tells In Touch. “But this was scary stuff that was not enjoyable and was upsetting, quite frankly.”
Heather is a mom of two kids — she shares 13-year-old Jax and 11-year-old Ella with her husband of 15 years, Jonathan Schindler — and as a mom and a business owner with her organic supplement brand, Nutritionary, she said she just could not justify partaking in those kinds of antics anymore.
“I would wake up in the morning and be like, ‘Whoa, that was crazy,'” Heather told In Touch. “There was this erratic behavior where I couldn’t even relate. I hope they’re easing out of the ridiculous antics.”
While it seems like filming RHONY — or any other Real Housewives show, for that matter — the ladies are always attending events, parties, dinners, and even cast vacations where alcohol is flowing and readily available. But, unfortunately, some ladies overindulge a bit. In December 2017, RHONY star Luann de Lesseps was arrested and charged with four felonies and one misdemeanor with battery on an officer, disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest with violence, and crimes against a person. She ended up pleading guilty to the misdemeanor counts of disorderly intoxication and trespassing, and in 2018, she underwent two stints in rehab.
