On the afternoon of Christmas Eve, de Lesseps addressed the incident in a tweet, writing that "I want to offer my most sincere apologies to anyone that I might have offended with my behavior. This was my first time in Palm Beach since my wedding and being here brought up buried emotions. I am committed to a transformative and hopeful 2018." De Lesseps and her husband Tom D'Agostino, Jr. were married in December 2016 in Palm Beach, and the two filed for divorce in August 2017.
