Luann de Lesseps’ summer: fender benders, bongos, and PDA
Luann de Lesseps is having a chicly chaotic summer that includes a banged-up car door, banging on the bongos and maybe some plain ol’ banging.
We hear the reality star was spotted last week getting into a fender bender on her way to see the Broadway musical “Cabaret.” While attempting to exit her chauffeur-driven car, “de Lesseps’ driver swung open the rear door directly into traffic when a fast-moving vehicle nearly swiped the door clear off its hinges.” We’re told that while the door stayed on the car, it “was bent out of shape.”
And the whole kerfuffle caused a traffic jam on West 53rd Street.
That didn’t deter de Lesseps from making a beeline directly to the theater, where ex-castmate Dorinda Medley was waiting in the VIP lounge with their tickets, says a spy.
A spy tells us the pair partook in tipping back some bubbly during the hit Eddie Redmayne show, which has had issues with tipsy guests.
Meanwhile, de Lesseps ended up onstage playing the bongos during a Gipsy Kings concert in the Hamptons last weekend before making out with a mystery man.
Spies tell us they saw de Lesseps and “Sex and the City” author Candace Bushnell dancing during the concert at Greek hot spot Calissa in Water Mill when the reality star “was feeling the vibes so much that she got up on the stage to play the bongos.”
Later, spies say the Bravolebrity was making out with a “tall, handsome man in a corner of the restaurant — who she left with later that night.”
