'Embarrassed' Luann de Lesseps Enters Rehab After Arrest

The same week she grabbed unwelcome headlines for allegedly tussling with cops in Palm Beach, "The Real Housewives of New York City" star Luann de Lesseps has checked herself into rehab, People reports.

In a statement to People, de Lesseps said, "After the events of last Saturday night in Palm Beach, I am truly embarrassed. I have decided to seek professional guidance and will be voluntarily checking into an alcohol treatment center. I intend to turn this unfortunate incident into a positive life changing event. Once again, I sincerely apologize for my actions."

She went on to especially apologize for disrespecting police officers, saying, "I have the greatest respect for police officers and the job they do. My actions alleged in the police report do not reflect my core values and my law abiding character."

Luckily, de Lesseps is feeling the love from fans, noting, "I am so grateful for the love and support that I am receiving from my family, friends and loyal supporters.”
