RHONY’s wild newbie Leah McSweeney strips naked, hurls a lit tiki torch and jumps in the pool after downing vodka
REAL Housewives of New York City newbie Leah McSweeney stripped naked, hurled a lit tiki torch and jumped in Ramona Singer's pool after downing vodka and Prosecco during the housewives' trip to the Hamptons.
The mother of one had previously opened up about being kicked out of her parents' home and being sent to a halfway house after coming out of rehab.
After slowly easing her way back into drinking since the season premiere, Leah fell off the wagon when her drunken behavior destroyed Ramona's vacation home.
After downing a vodka drink and joining a Prosecco pong game, Leah stripped naked and ran across Ramona's backyard - hurling lit tiki torches, skinny dipping, and enticing and Sonja Morgan to join her.
She even yells at the cameras: "I don't give a f**k. Whatever!"
During the same trip, Leah opened up to the other housewives and told them she had spent three months in rehab after high school.
She told them during their trip to a winery: "Right after high school, I went to rehab for three months because I was having issues.
"When my parents came to get me, they were like, 'You're not coming home.'"
"'But we did find a halfway house for you to live in that's run by nuns.' [...] Now I realize that my mother was trying to save my life because she had to push me out and go, 'You need to face the consequences of all your actions and your behaviors.'
"And honestly it gave me the perseverance to start my own company, do things my way, because I've already been through the worse. It can't get worse."
The 37-year-old fashion designer opened up more about the situation and told producers: "I was a really f**ked up teenager, I put my parents through hell."
"My mother was like 'Hey, we can't have you in the house anymore because you're disrupting your brother and sister's lives.'"
About two years ago, Leah cut back on her drinking because of the way it made her act.
She previously told producers that she's not sober but will definitely try to keep her drinking to a minimum.
She's even warned the other housewives that she turns into a whole other person when she's drunk.
